Chapter 48: The Birthday Banquet (1)
A mansion in the north of Tianjun City, which covers an extensive area, is being lit up at the moment, and people are constantly flowing in and out of the door, and everyone's face is full of happy smiles.
"Follow me when you get in, don't run around if you're fine. The elder of the Long Li clan turned around and said to the three of them at Long Zun behind him.
A few people nodded in agreement, and the elder of the Long Li clan led them to the courtyard where the plaque on the front door had Li Mansion written on it.
Ascending a few stone steps, Long Li took out an invitation card and handed it to the servant of the Li family who greeted the guest in front of the door, the servant took it and took a look, handed it back respectfully, and then beckoned another servant who was already waiting on the side to lead the way for them.
The elder of the Longli clan put away the invitation, followed the servant who led the way, and came to an independent courtyard, which was already full of people at this time.
"Isn't this Brother Long Li! "Behind the courtyard was a hall, and from inside came an old man who was half a hundred years old and greeted the old man of the Long Li clan.
"Brother You He, I wish Mrs. Li a long life in advance. The elder of the Longli clan clasped his fists at Li Youhe, and said congratulatorily.
"Thank you, thank you. Li Youhe replied with a smile, "Thin wine has already been prepared inside, please inside." ”
The two of them walked into the hall while talking and laughing, and Long Zun and the others honestly followed behind and came inside together.
Li Youhe took the elder of the Long Li clan to sit down at a table in the hall, and then said: "Everyone knows a few people in the seat, so I won't introduce them, you guys talk first, I'll go and greet the guests." ”
"Today is the old lady's birthday, there must be a lot of guests, Brother You He should go and say hello. ”
"Brother You He doesn't have to be polite, we are all old acquaintances, we can take care of ourselves, right, Brother Long Li. ”
"Yes, Brother You He, even if you are busy, we can just greet ourselves. ”
Several people in the seat said with a smile, and no one showed any dissatisfaction.
"Thank you, I'll have a few more drinks to make amends for your sins when the birthday party begins. Li Youhe responded with a smile before turning around and leaving, all the way out of the hall.
The people sitting at the table were some quite old elders, and the youngest beard looked more than an inch long, so Long Zun and their juniors were not qualified to sit down, and they stood honestly behind the old man of the Long Li clan.
"Long Li, let's talk here, don't let these juniors of your stay watch here, the Li family has prepared a special courtyard to receive them, or let the subordinates take them over. "It was a martial arts realm cultivator from the Lu family who spoke, named Lu Haokun.
The elder of the Long Li clan nodded, turned around and said to Long Zun and them: "Since there is still a courtyard, you can also go over, remember not to run around." ”
The other two people who came with Long Zun were already reluctant to stay here, and when they heard that the other courtyard was full of them young people, they couldn't wait to leave immediately, if it weren't for the elders sitting next to them, they would have rushed over a long time ago.
Long Zun, who was standing in the back, pouted secretly, if it weren't for the old man of the Long Li clan who had to bring him here, he wouldn't want to participate in any birthday banquet, it was a pure waste of effort, it was better to seize the time to cultivate and face the upcoming martial arts meeting.
Compared to the impatience of the other two, Long Zun lazily followed behind the servant who led the way, left the hall, and walked out of the courtyard towards another courtyard.
"Brother Long Li, I haven't seen the youngest in the back, but he looks a lot more stable than the other two. A short and fat man sitting next to Lu Haokun pointed at Long Zun with his hand and said.
The elder of the Long Li clan looked at Long Zun, who had already gone away, nodded with satisfaction: "His name is Long Zun, he is the one who saved Long Yun not long ago, he has a stable personality, I am more optimistic about him." ”
Lu Haokun interjected at this time: "This kid is indeed quite stable, but compared with the Long Yun of your Long family, I feel a little worse, let's just talk about strength, Long Yun is less than twenty years old and is already at the peak of the martial arts realm, and he is very hopeful of being promoted to the warrior realm within a year, I have seen enough of this dragon zun, but listen to what you mean, he also saved Long Yun once, what's going on, can you talk about it." ”
The elder of the Long Li clan did not answer with a gloomy face, grabbed the wine glass on the table and sent it to his mouth, and drank the wine in one gulp.
Humpty Dumpty sitting on the side was called Han Juluo, a martial artist of the Han family, a cultivator family, and he pulled Lu Haokun's sleeve with his hand and explained to him in a low voice.
After listening to Han Juluo's explanation, Lu Haokun slapped the table, "It's so unbelievable, it's so despicable, Brother Long Li, don't be angry, when Sun Guangcheng comes, I'll see how he explains." ”
Listening to the voice, he seemed to be on the side of the Long family, and what he said was even more righteous and awe-inspiring, but there was no look of common hatred in his eyes, but a hint of schadenfreude.
If no one in the Long family could participate in the martial arts meeting, I am afraid he would be even happier.
Han Juluo, who was sitting next to him, pursed his lips, and understood in his heart, don't look at Lu Haokun slapping the table and questioning Sun Guangcheng, I'm afraid that I would have been secretly happy in my heart at this time.
They are all old foxes who have become essences, and the old people of the Longli clan don't understand Lu Haokun's careful thoughts, and in a dull mood, they drink wine one after another.
Han Juluo had the heart to persuade him, but he was afraid of being misunderstood, after all, their Han family would also participate in the martial arts meeting, and Long Yun's injury was also a good thing for the Han family, so he had to sit aside awkwardly and not speak.
Lu Haokun was in the mood to speak, but seeing that the two people at the same table had no meaning to speak, he had to close his mouth stupidly.
Compared to the silence in the hall, in the other courtyard next door, there were many cheers from the courtyard that the Li family had prepared separately for the young disciples of each family.
"Lu Ying, you are not an opponent, and Lu Ya of your Lu family is almost the same, so you don't provoke me. "In the middle of the courtyard stood a tall, thin young man, and across from him stood a young man half a head shorter than him.
"I don't know if I've been beaten by an opponent, don't just say it with your mouth, let me fight for a while, haha. Lu Ying pinched her waist and laughed twice.
"Yes, don't just say it with your mouth, fight it, anyway, the birthday banquet will wait a while before it starts, and there will be enough time for you to have a competition. ”
"Shi Yan, are you afraid that you won't be able to beat Lu Ying and don't dare to make a move, he said so, you are still standing here, let him say this about you?"
Many of the young children of the cultivator families who were watching around stood aside and coaxed, looking like they were not a big deal to see the excitement.
The thin and tall man named Shi Yan's face sank little by little, pointed at Lu Ying with his hand, and said, "The shot is ruthless, don't regret it." ”
"Shi Yan, do you want to fight or not, let's talk about it, Old Lady Li's birthday banquet has begun. Someone from the crowd watching from the sidelines said.
"That is, you have to fight quickly, don't delay the birthday banquet. Someone on the side helped.
Lu Ying crossed his hands on his chest and said, "Shi Yan, if you don't dare to fight, just admit defeat, as long as you admit that your Shi family is not as good as our Lu family, I can not worry about you." ”
"Don't talk nonsense, who said I didn't dare to fight, everyone stepped back, but we wanted to see who didn't dare to fight. Shi Yan stood in the courtyard and beckoned the people around him to step back.
Of course, the people who have a good show are willing to make room for them, and soon leave an open space to come out.
Just like the courtyard where the dragon left them, there was also a hall behind the courtyard, and the people who were originally inside heard the noise in the courtyard outside to compete, so they left their seats and came to the courtyard.
The martial arts meeting is about to start, and there is an opportunity to get to know the future opponent up close, of course, no one wants to miss such an opportunity, and Long Zun also blended in the crowd and found a position with a better view.
As for the other two children of the Long family who came to this courtyard with him, they separated from him as soon as they entered the courtyard gate, but as soon as they heard that someone was going to compete, the three of them coincidentally got together again.
