Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Birthday Banquet
As one of the top forces in Iwahei City, the birthday banquet of the head of the family has undoubtedly attracted the attention of many people.
Different from the mansions of the two brothers Wu Jianqi and Wu Jianning, the mansion of the Wu family is in the center of the city, and the mansion is built in the center of the city, which shows the prestige of the Wu family.
Early in the morning, the Wu family's main mansion was unusually lively, with colorful lanterns, gongs and drums, and Wu Mingchao, Wu Jianning and his son were busy taking care of the guests who came and went.
And Wu Jianqi, as the second son of the head of the family, is not even qualified to greet him.
"Luo Chunming, the second master of the Zijin Chamber of Commerce, sent a pair of night pearls, wishing Old Man Wu a blessing like the East China Sea and a longevity than Nanshan!"
"The City Lord's Mansion sent congratulations and gave a piece of Nanjie Wangpu, hoping that the Wu Mansion will be prosperous!"
"The wolf warrior dart will send the Extreme Realm Divine Soldier Sorrowful Wind Sword, I wish the old man the sword is there, and the demon beast surrenders!"
β¦
Wu Mingchao stood excitedly in the hall, reading aloud the congratulations of the guest door, with a smile on his face, as if he was the protagonist.
At this time, he swept the figure of a young man in his peripheral eyes, and suddenly his face darkened, and the noble temperament on his face could no longer be disguised, and he gritted his teeth and whispered, "This guy really dares to come to the banquet?" β
His eyes rolled and he thought of an idea.
After a while, the head of the Wu family, who was sitting in the first seat, began to speak, "Thank you for your gifts..."
"Wait." Wu Mingchao interrupted, "The gift-giving session is not over yet. β
Everyone in the hall looked at each other, all the best forces in Yanhei City came, even if they didn't come, they were just small shrimps, was it worth interrupting the speech of the head of the Wu family for this, didn't you see that he already had a bad face?
Wu Xin, the head of the Wu family, also looked at Wu Mingchao with a little dissatisfaction, he had the best face in his life, although Wu Mingchao was his most beloved eldest grandson, but being so rude in front of everyone also gave him a little headache.
Wu Mingchao stood in the hall with a smile on his face, his figure was tall, and he hugged his fists and said: "Originally, grandpa had a big birthday, and everything should be done according to the rules, but I have some peers, I heard that grandpa had a birthday, and he came uninvited, and the incident happened suddenly, and he didn't greet grandpa, but it was rude, so I want to apologize here." β
Before he could finish speaking, footsteps could be heard outside the door.
"The inner disciple of Haotian Gate, the Lie Family of Xuanhuo City, gives Old Man Wu a birthday!"
"The inner disciple of Haotian Gate, the He family of Nanming City, He Baifeng, pays homage to Old Man Wu!"
"Haotianmen disciple Yang Chengsi gives Old Man Wu a birthday greeting!"
"Haotianmen disciple Zai Jinxin gives Old Man Wu a birthday greeting!"
......
A group of young people, about seven or eight, each dragon and tiger step, the instrument is lofty, the demeanor is arrogant, with the unique vigor and arrogance of young people into the door, led by Lie Sheng and He Baifeng are even more fist-hugging:
"I waited for the experience to be finished, and I went back to Haotianmen to report, passing through here, I happened to hear that Brother Mingchao's family had a great joy, and he came uninvited to ask for a glass of wine."
Everyone in the hall was talking for a while.
"Haotianmen disciples, the two people who are the leaders are not only inner disciples, but also the Xuanhuo City Lie family and the Nanming City He family, these two are the same in their respective cities!"
"That is, Wu Mingchao is just an outer disciple, how can he deal with these people? According to the family, these people are much higher than the Wu family's specifications, even the status of these disciples of the outer gate of Haotian Gate is not low. β
"Wu Mingchao... Wu family unicorn! β
Wu Mingchao stood in the hall, listening to everyone's discussions, and the smile on his face was even stronger, these were all friendships that he Wu Mingchao deliberately made!
Wu Xin, the head of the Wu family, also reacted instantly, and originally didn't like to be left behind, and said with a kind face: "Naturally, it will not hinder you, all of you are here, my Wu family is shining!" β
Wu Mingchao hurriedly arranged seats for the group of young people.
"Whose brute is this, how did you bring it here? Stained eyes! Wu Mingchao led everyone back to the table, but saw a dirty stray dog lying at the bottom of the table, he sneered, kicked the stray dog away, and kicked the stray dog to Takagi's feet.
"Really, you don't wash your eyes and look in the mirror to see what kind of color you are? Do you really think you can come here with anything? β
Gao Mu closed the door to recuperate, his brows were tightly locked, and there were words in his mouth, as if he was thinking about something, but Wu Jianqi, who had been sitting on the side, glared at Wu Mingchao with an ugly face.
The young people laughed and played, completely ignoring their status as guests.
Lie Sheng and He Baifeng drank directly, and they didn't care whether others started eating and drinking.
Their family background makes them dare to do so.
The Wu family is also a big family, but compared to these two families, the power is weaker by more than one head, and these two people have come to pay their respects, which is already enough face.
Wu Mingchao didn't care about everyone, he simply greeted each other, then coughed, met everyone's eyes, and said with a smile: "Since it is a birthday greeting, my father's mind is my father's, and my mind is my own, but the two must be separated." β
As soon as he patted the storage ring in his hand, a dazzling golden light appeared in the hall, and Wu Mingchao had a smile on his face even more:
"A half-human high-purity gold statue worth hundreds of citrine coins."
Even in the Xiling Continent, the value of gold is extremely high, although it no longer bears the role of a general equivalent, but it is still loved by the majority of people, at this time, as soon as the pure gold statue came out, the hall suddenly became commotion again.
Wu Xin nodded with a smile and accepted it, the statue was carved by him, and it was majestic and upright, "I have a heart." β
Wu Mingchao nodded, his eyes drifting to Takagi who was still chanting words, "I don't know what my cousin has prepared?" β
Wu Jianqi's face changed instantly, he wanted to remind Takagi, but found that the latter didn't care about this lively scene, as if immersed in his own small world:
""Garden Secrets", "Flowers", and "East Secrets" are obviously three unrelated miscellaneous books, what is in these three books?"
"I've rummaged through the room, there are no cheats, no secret grids, ordinary rooms, what is the secret?"
Wu Jianqi sighed, and said in his heart that Wu Le's hysteria had committed again, but he couldn't teach him a lesson in front of the public, so he only patted Gao Mu lightly as a reminder, opened his mouth, and was ready to defend him.
"Alright, brother." Wu Jianning, who was sitting on the side, chuckled lightly and said in a low voice: "The medicinal materials you sent are only a few citrine coins, but I gave hundreds of citrine coins as an antique, what else can you come up with in a hurry, it's just a shame." β
Although his voice was low, there was almost no sound in the hall at this time, except for the young people from Haotianmen, and everyone was a martial artist, so everyone could clearly hear his words.
Wu Xin, as the head of the Wu family, naturally heard it, and his expression changed slightly at this time, but he didn't say much, just looked at Takagi's table.
The faces of the people at the same table were different, some were sarcastic, some were sneering, some were silent, some were sympathetic, but none of them stood up to speak for Takagi.
Wu Jianqi's face turned red, he stood up with some trembling, and pulled Gao Mu to leave.
"So, I hate this kind of boring socializing, hypocritical and empty, and I really don't know what the point is in wasting time here."
At this time, Gao Mu came to his senses from his thoughts, slowly looked at the crowd, and shook his head, he thought that even if this cheap old man was no longer powerful, he was also a descendant of the Wu family, so he had a little face in front of the head of the family, who would have thought that it would be such a group of relatives.
Anyway, sending this gift out can be regarded as making a break for Wu Jianqi and the Wu family, and turning back is to persuade my father to break away from the Wu family no matter what, Gao Mu thought.
I don't know what this cheap dad has done, he is so unpopular in his family, but he obviously works extremely hard, just in the past few days, what Gao Mu has seen, when didn't Wu Jianqi get up early and go dark?
Pedantic...
Takagi chuckled, patted the back of Wu Jianqi's hand, and signaled the latter to be calm, somehow, he suddenly thought of the girl who wanted to escape, obviously cultivating extremely high but not daring to kill easily, but it was somewhat similar to Wu Jianqi.
"Who said," he deliberately lengthened, "I didn't prepare a gift for my grandfather?" β
He also patted the storage ring in his hand, and everyone who came to the hall was either rich or expensive, and although a storage ring was a bit rare, it was not a treasure that everyone covetedβthe more one-third of the guests in the entire hall had it in their hands.
The same touch of gold appeared on his hand.
"Hahaha!" Wu Mingchao sneered: "The golden bottle... I didn't expect us to go together, my good brother, you... Well, it's not bad, it's worth something, and it's hearty. β
The audience was in an uproar, and the hall burst into laughter, the golden bottle in Takagi's hand and the golden statue presented by Wu Mingchao were a hundred times different?
Takagi shook his head, not caring about the strange eyes of everyone, only said lightly to Wu Xin, "The gift I want to give to my grandfather is in this bottle." β
The laughter in the room was even worse.
"He couldn't have put the elixir in the golden bottle, right? Jin Kemu, the medicinal properties of the pill are estimated to have all been volatilized! β
"I heard that this Wu Le is a nerd, but when I saw it today, it was unexpected!"
"Shhhh Give the head of the Wu family some face, no matter what, this Wu Le is also the descendant of the Wu family... Look at Wu Jianqi so unpopular... Maybe not? β
"Hahaha, who knows?"
Takagi stood in the hall with a calm face, ignoring everyone's discussions, and gently uncorked the bottle, and a faint fragrance wafted out, with a light fragrance and a calm taste.
"This thing is called Xuanqi and Jinglu, taken from the inside of the withered Zen branch of Nirvana rebirth, the essence of its life, the flesh and bones of the living dead, it will melt when it encounters water, it will burn when it encounters fire, it will enter when it encounters soil, and it will wither when it encounters jade, so it is loaded with gold."
There was a brief silence in the hall, and then a mountain of laughter erupted, and some even rubbed their stomachs vigorously and wanted to roll on the ground.
Wu Xin's face was completely gloomy, "Wu Le, it's okay if you don't give a gift, I won't blame you, why do you ruin the majesty of my Wu family so much?" β
Takagi nodded.
"I know you don't believe it, so let's test it."
He noticed Wu Xin's face when he came to his senses, and he completely understood Wu Xin's attitude at this moment.
To tell the truth, he was reluctant to give him this life-saving goodie.
Takagi set his eyes on the stray dog beside him who was dying.
