1318: C1318 The Birthday Ceremony Begins

C1318 The Birthday Ceremony Begins

On the main platform, although Duanmu Forest had a head full of white hair, he was still walking in a vigorous manner. There was not the slightest bit of inconvenience from an old man.

He supported Matriarch and sat on the two highest seats in the hall.

Seeing this scene, the guests below the stage immediately discussed animatedly.

"The old patriarch of the Lin Family and his wife are so loving, this is really enviable."

"That's right. Rumor has it that the old patriarch of the Lin Family has been missing for dozens of years. Along the way, it was Matriarch who presided over the Lin Family. Now, the old patriarch of the Lin Family has returned. His identity is actually one of the ten great hermit clans. He is incomparably noble."

"Everyone can see Matriarch's determination. The Lin Family has finally come to terms with their suffering. When the old patriarch returns, they will be able to leap from a small clan to the number one clan in the Great Xia."

The guests discussed animatedly, but it was nothing more than flattery and envy towards the Lin Family.

Most of them were much more powerful than the Lin Family in the past. Back then, the Lin Family was nothing in their eyes. But now, they could only rely on the Lin Family and try to flatter them, not daring to have any disloyalty!

Many of them pounded their feet on their chests, and they were filled with regret.

If he took advantage of the fact that the Lin Family was weak back then and befriended them, he wouldn't be able to go with the flow and become a family of his generation.

Under such circumstances, the disciples of the Lin Family naturally had a sense of superiority.

In the past, they weren't as powerful as these families and were often bullied.

But now, even a disciple from the outer circle of the Lin Family couldn't be underestimated. All the families that bullied the disciples of the Lin Family had sent their men here to apologize respectfully and resolve the conflict between them. They had a humble attitude.

Among them, the Qin Family was the happiest.

Back then, the Qin Family was also a small family in the Chubei. Their assets were no more than ten million, which was equal to the Lin Family.

Qin Lee was married to Lin Ligang of the Lin Family in Chuyang because of their cooperation.

Lin Ligang was a hooligan back then. He relied on his family to gamble and squander. He was despised by the Lin Family.

He happened to run into a police department sweep and was even arrested and locked up for three months!

Back then, everyone was laughing at the Qin Family. They married their daughter to such a hooligan just for the sake of an opportunity to develop in Chuyang.

But who would have thought that it was this detestable opportunity that allowed the Qin Family to have the fortune of climbing the Lin Family, and even their fowls and dogs would ascend to the heavens!

Countless people were jealous. If they were able to recognize someone with their sharp eyes and marry the outstanding girl of their family to the Lin Family in the Chuyang, wouldn't their family be the one to ascend to the heavens now?

Look, the patriarch of the Qin Family is laughing so hard that his mouth is cracking!

Just by establishing a relationship with the Lin Family, the Qin Family had become the overlord of Chubei. What if he was able to provide timely assistance to the Lin Family in their humble times?

Thinking of this, countless people who came to visit their families and held great power felt like vomiting blood.

Just as everyone was thinking about this, a man walked up to the stage. He had a dignified appearance, and he had a pair of sword-like eyebrows. One look and one could tell that he was a dragon among men.

He looked around at everyone present with a gaze as cold as a sword.

Those who were swept by his gaze all felt a sharp aura on their backs.

Who was this person?

Countless people began to question him.

Such a person was like a dragon among men, yet they actually didn't have the slightest understanding of him.

The young man slowly opened his mouth. He didn't have a loudspeaker, but his voice was transmitted to every corner of the hall.

"I am Duanmu Qingming, one of the top ten hidden Feudal Lords. Under the orders of the Patriarch, I am here to host this birthday celebration for the old master."

"Do you have any other questions?"

Only now did the major powers know who this young man was and what kind of strength he possessed.

They discussed animatedly and spoke in astonishment.

"I never thought that the Duanmu Family would attach so much importance to the old patriarch of the Lin Family. They actually sent a disciple of the Duanmu Family to preside over this matter."

"Initially, I thought that the old patriarch of the Lin Family was just a disciple of one of the top ten hidden families. I never thought that his status would be so high. He actually specially sent a disciple of the Duanmu family to celebrate his birthday!"

There were even some who yearned for it.

"If there are ten disciples of the underworld clans who wish to celebrate my birthday, then I would be happy to die on the spot!"

In an instant, the envy and jealousy of everyone present intensified.

The importance of the Lin Family intensified in their hearts.

Due to the shock, there was some noise in the hall. Duanmu Qingming had never seen such a scene before.

He was just an ordinary disciple in the Duanmu family. He had been cultivating in seclusion and did not know much about the secular world.

Ordinary disciples obtained very little resources and it was not easy for them to cultivate. He had always looked for opportunities to complete the missions of the family in order to obtain resources.

Presenting Duanmu Forest's birthday celebration was the mission he accepted.

Otherwise, as a disciple of one of the ten great hidden sects, why would he act like a servant in front of ordinary people?

Duanmu Qingming frowned slightly and was about to flare up.

His peripheral vision lightly swept past Duanmu Forest, but he discovered that although he did not appear on the surface, his gaze revealed obvious joy.

Obviously, he was very happy.

Duanmu Qingming could only sigh in his heart and let the guests talk about him.

A few minutes later, as if they had realized that something was wrong, the guests stopped their discussions and the noise became calm.

Duanmu Qingming spoke again.

"Now, please welcome the birthday elder to speak for us. Everyone, welcome."

With that, Duanmu Qingming retreated to the side.

A servant from the Lin Family handed Duanmu Forest a microphone.

Duanmu Forest, whose eyebrows and beard were all white, stood up with a beaming smile and walked to the front.

He raised his hand to signal. Instantly, the entire hall fell silent.

"Today is my Duanmu Forest's birthday."

"In the past, I disguised my name as Lin Junlin and founded the Lin Family in Chuyang. However, because of the rules of my family, I had no choice but to leave. I owe you a lot."

"Now, I'm back! Furthermore, I don't need to change my name. I can use my original name to travel through the secular world. The Lin Family will be able to bear all the hardships! "

Duanmu Forest paused, as if he was speaking from the back of the organization.0

For a moment, the hall was filled with countless applause.

Upon seeing this scene, Duanmu Forest smiled and was in high spirits.

"Thank you all for taking the time out of your busy schedule to attend my birthday celebration. I, Duanmu Forest, would like to thank you all."

"Please don't be nervous. Let's relax and enjoy ourselves."

After saying that, Duanmu Forest bowed slightly to express his respect. He had become the host of the ceremony.

Everyone present instantly stood up.

How could there be an old man who bowed?!

The leaders of the wealthy families at the front hurriedly waved their hands and bowed.

Behind them. Everyone followed suit.

Even Mu Chen was no exception.

Lin Yuyan was Duanmu Forest's granddaughter after all. As a husband and wife, there was no harm in bowing to the elders.

"Everyone, there is no need to be so polite."

Duanmu Forest enjoyed this feeling exceptionally. His hair stood up and his pores opened. His entire person felt comfortable.

After a long while, he spoke the words he had spoken to stop everyone.

Everyone in the hall received their approval. They hurriedly got up and returned to their seats.

Duanmu Forest had already stroked his beard and returned to his original position with a smile on his face.

Duanmu Qingming once again stood in front of the stage and spoke in a clear voice.

"Next, please present your birthday gifts!"
