Chapter 41: The Birthday Party
Parting is always sad, although Lin Feng has already appeased the four elders, but as long as he thinks of Lin Feng leaving, the four elders don't feel good in their hearts.
However, it happened that on the day that Lin Feng was promoted to the Jindan period, his sixteenth birthday also arrived. On the ninth day of the ninth month of September, it is also the Double Ninth Festival, and I still remember that Lin Feng was almost named Lin Chongyang when he was born, but fortunately Lin Batian did not succeed.
In order to celebrate Lin Feng's birthday, and in order to eliminate the hesitation of parting, the Lin family specially arranged the birthday banquet in the original Zhennan Wang Lin Mansion. After a large number of manpower and nearly two months, Lin Feng's mansion was finally repaired before his sixteenth birthday. Although it was destroyed by a fire, it is now repaired and is exactly the same as before.
On this day, the Lin family came to the Lin Mansion early, and the family prepared a birthday banquet for Lin Feng. In addition to everyone in the Lin family, the only person who attended Lin Feng's sixteenth birthday banquet was Xiang Tiange, the current Prime Minister Zuo, Lin Feng's best friend in the past. The rest of the people, including all the ministers of the court, were rejected by Lin Feng, and Lin Batianxia ordered not to accept any gifts.
It can be seen how important Xiang Tiange is in Lin Feng's heart. This was also deliberately arranged by Lin Feng for his friend, presumably from now on, no one would be able to underestimate Xiang Tiange.
At noon, Lin Feng's birthday banquet began, the two old men of the Lin family sat on the right seat, Lin Batian and Mrs. Lin sat on the right side, and Lin Feng, Lin Yue'er and Xiang Tiange sat on the left side. All the meals for this banquet were prepared by Lin Feng's mother herself, and she didn't let anyone do it except for Lin Yue'er to help.
At the beginning of the banquet, everyone congratulated Lin Feng on his happy birthday and other words, and the family happily helped Lin Feng celebrate his birthday. And Lin Feng was also very moved, immersed in this joyful atmosphere. However, happy times always fly by, and in the blink of an eye, the banquet is over.
"Feng'er, you will be sixteen years old in a blink of an eye, and you have grown up, grandpa has nothing to tell you, I just hope that this time you are far away from your hometown, alone in a different place, you can always remember to protect yourself, and return safely. After the banquet, Old Man Lin instructed Lin Feng.
"Don't worry, grandpa. My grandson will definitely return safely, you have watched me grow up since I was a child, have you ever seen your grandson suffer a loss somewhere?" Lin Feng solemnly replied to Old Man Lin.
"Little ghost, it's not the same at home as outside, no matter how naughty you are at home, we'll tolerate you, because we're family. But it's different when you're outside, people are unpredictable, you never know when he's going to stab you in the back, you can't take it lightly. Old Man Lin said earnestly.
"Well, my grandson knows, I won't trust anyone easily. Lin Feng agreed. Old Man Lin saw that Lin Feng listened to his words, and he didn't say anything more.
"Feng'er, when are you going to leave?" asked Lin Batian on the side.
"Tomorrow morning, now the child's cultivation has taken another step, and the master has mentioned to the child before that as long as he reaches a deeper level, he can go over to help him. Lin Feng looked at Lin Batian and said.
"Okay, we've told you everything we need to say, but in short, there is only one sentence, I hope you take care of your health and return safely. Lin Batian stared at Lin Feng and said. At this time, Lin Batian's face rarely showed a trace of reluctance, but it was gone in a blink of an eye.
"Yes, father. After Lin Feng finished speaking, he got up and knelt down to the four elders and kowtowed three times.
"Get up, I believe in you. It's not too early, and it's time for us to go back to the palace. Lin Batian got up and helped Lin Feng up, and then said to the others.
Lin Feng looked at the figures of the four elders leaving, and his heart was also reluctant, and his eyes gradually blurred. Lin Yue'er seemed to feel Lin Feng's mood as well, and walked behind Lin Feng and hugged him, her head on Lin Feng's back. After the elders left, Lin Feng wiped his eyes with his hand, and then recovered, and Lin Yue'er let go of his hand.
"Tiange, I'm leaving tomorrow, and I need you to take care of it for me here. Lin Feng looked at Xiang Tiange.
"Xiao Fengzi, I'm here here, you can go on the road with peace of mind. Xiang Tiange said to Lin Feng.
"Get out, you're on your way. Lin Feng scolded with a smile.
"Hehe, didn't I almost cry when I saw you so sad and wanted to change the atmosphere. Xiang Tiange said with a smile.
"Or you kid understands me. Lin Feng patted Tiange's shoulder.
"Cut, I don't know you yet, and if you don't know something completely sure, you kid won't do it, so I'm completely at ease with you. Although I am reluctant to let you go, I will definitely support you, brother. Xiang Tiange said to Lin Feng.
"Brother. Lin Feng said solemnly.
"Oh, it's just to leave, and it's not like I'll never come back, what are you doing so sadly. Xiang Tiange slapped Lin Feng's hand on his shoulder, with a nonchalant expression.
"Haha, you're right, you kid can see it. When Lin Feng heard Xiang Tiange's words, his mood became more relaxed.
"That's right, but this time you leave I don't know when you will come back, just now the emperor and the emperor are here, I can't let go, but they are all gone now, if you don't drink enough with me tonight, you don't want to leave tomorrow." Xiang Tiange said to Lin Feng.
"Cut, drink with me, I'm afraid you'll die drunk in my house. Lin Feng looked at Xiang Tiange with a sneer.
"Phew, as long as you kid doesn't cheat, you won't be able to drink me. Xiang Tiange also said unconvinced.
"Hey, when have I ever cheated?" Lin Feng asked Xiang Tiange.
"When you gave me to redeem what I lost in a bet, I found out when you drank tea in the casino, you kid didn't swallow it at all, although I don't know where the tea in your mouth went, but you must have used some means. Xiang Tiange twisted his head and told what he had discovered back then.
"You actually observed so carefully?" Lin Feng was also stunned, he didn't expect Xiang Tiange to be able to observe such details at that time.
"I didn't know there was a problem with the tea until I lost, but I forgot to tell you when we went back, so I paid special attention when I saw you drinking tea. Xiang Tiange explained.
"I see, to tell you the truth, I'm actually a monk, and it's just a small trick to force the tea out so that no one can find out. After Lin Feng finished speaking, he explained the monk to Xiang Tiange, he wanted to take this opportunity to let Xiang Tiange also embark on the path of cultivation, after all, there was only this one friend in this life.
"Xiao Fengzi, I didn't expect you to be so good. Xiang Tiange was very surprised after listening to Lin Feng's explanation.
"Do you want to be like me?" Lin Feng asked.
"Forget it, I think the life of an ordinary person is quite suitable for me, I have already planned the future path for myself, if you let me embark on the path of a monk at this time, I don't know what to do. Xiang Tiange shook his head and said to Lin Feng.
"You kid, don't you want to live a few hundred more years?" Lin Feng looked at Xiang Tiange, who was not angry, and asked helplessly.
"To be honest, Xiao Fengzi, I am very grateful to you and envious of you. Thank you because you helped me realize this dream as soon as I said it casually at the time. I envy you because you are more capable and ambitious than me, and I just want to use all my abilities to make a little contribution to the country in my lifetime, so that the people can have a better life. Xiang Tiange looked at Lin Feng and said seriously.
"Then after you cultivate, if you have a longer life, won't you be able to do better things for the people?" Lin Feng asked puzzled.
"Xiao Fengzi, you don't know how much impact being in a high position for a long time will have on the change in a person's heart, not to mention that I am now in a position above ten thousand people under one person. It's okay for me to live for tens or hundreds of years, but once I have an extra few hundred or even thousands of years to live, then I'm afraid that my heart will change, I'm afraid. Xiang Tiange stood up and paced two steps, walked to the door and looked at the sky.
"In that case, let it be up to you. Seeing that Xiang Tiange was so persistent, Lin Feng no longer persuaded him, everyone has their own ambitions, and not all of them want to cultivate.
"Hahaha, I didn't expect me to have such noble sentiments, Xiao Fengzi, am I stupid?" Xiang Tiange turned to look at Lin Feng and asked.
"No, you're not stupid, you're smart. Lin Feng said in an affirmative tone.
"Clever? maybe. Xiang Tiange muttered.
"Let's go, don't think about these things, let's drink, and we won't get drunk tonight. Lin Feng saw Xiang Tiange, who was a little lost, so he had to change the topic.
"Well, okay, let's drink. But, little Fengzi, you can't use your monk's methods, or I'll be upset. Xiang Tiange promised Lin Feng, and then agreed with Lin Feng not to cheat.
"Don't worry, do you still need those methods to deal with you, I promise you, this time I will not use any means of the monk for this drink, it will definitely knock you down depending on the amount of alcohol. Lin Feng patted his chest and assured Xiang Tiange.
"That's good, I'm sure you won't lie to me, but with the amount of alcohol you have, it's impossible to mess with me. Xiang Tiange squinted at Lin Feng, completely not believing that Lin Feng's amount of alcohol could compare to his own.
"We'll see. Yue'er, go and prepare, I'll have a good drink with Tiange tonight, and no one is allowed to disturb us. After Lin Feng finished speaking to Xiang Tiange, he told Lin Yue'er to prepare.
Lin Yue'er knew that Lin Feng needed to say goodbye to her brother this time, so she went directly to prepare the wine and snacks, and then waited on the side. Lin Feng also kept his promise, and only used his own amount of alcohol to fight against Xiang Tiange, without using a trace of Yuan Force.
So Lin Feng and Xiang Tiange drank a lot of good wine, and after two or three hours, there were as many as a dozen wine jars on the ground, and the two of them gradually became a little drunk. So the voices of the two of them gradually became louder, and Lin Yue'er watched the two big men live and die and didn't want to give in, and they didn't admit defeat, just like two children arguing, which was very funny.
In the end, the two drank until the middle of the night, and the battle ended with Xiang Tiange getting drunk. Just after Xiang Tiange got drunk, Lin Feng pushed Xiang Tiange, Xiang Tiange didn't react, Lin Feng said, "I'll win", and then fell down.
