Welcoming Banquet (6)

"What are you being such a weakling for?! This is a banquet, why are you just drinking tea?!" Wen Ya yelled at her. She was actually sitting diagonally across from Shen Tianyu.

"Honorable Junzhu, not everyone wants to drink wine at a banquet. Some people like to drink in more casual occasions." Rong Jian explained to her before Shen Tianyu could retort. His defense seemed to only incense the Junzhu more. She grit her teeth and held up her goblet.

"Come on! Drink a cup with me, show me how powerful the Fifth Place in our rankings is!" She said the last part louder than her other words, trying to denounce her in front of Xi Bei's envoys and other nobility. Rong Jian furrowed his brow, ready to retort, when Shen Tianyu pressed a hand to one of his on the table. Wen Ya's eyebrows narrowed seeing this.
