72: C72 Embarrassment

C72 Embarrassment

In addition to the three great sects and four great families, there were also some small local forces in the second row. Generally speaking, they were all dependent on the big forces in the first row.

Some awkward situations happened. A few small powers didn't dare to come forward and greet the newly appointed Great Shopkeeper, Chu Yun.

It wasn't because they had a bad relationship with the Elemental River Pavilion. It was because they were once a subordinate force of the Elemental River Pavilion. During the period of time when the Elemental River Pavilion was in a difficult situation, they chose to leave and seek refuge with other powers. Now that they were facing a brand new Elemental River Pavilion, they didn't dare to come forward.

Chu Yun glanced at those people. He didn't have any other emotions. This kind of behavior wasn't uncommon. Although he didn't like this kind of behavior, he couldn't treat them as his enemies.

Of course, not all the powers that had once attached themselves to the Elemental River Pavilion had betrayed them. A small portion of them still attached themselves to the Elemental River Pavilion.

These major powers seemed very excited at the banquet. They ran to Chu Yun, the newly appointed Great Shopkeeper, and expressed all kinds of loyal remarks, as if they were ready to sacrifice their lives for the Elemental River Pavilion at any time.

In fact, Chu Yun knew that the reason why these people didn't betray the Elemental River Pavilion was perhaps because they were hesitating, or perhaps they just didn't find a suitable force to rely on. This didn't mean that they were loyal to the Elemental River Pavilion. In fact, the Elemental River Pavilion under the leadership of the Lee Clan wasn't worthy of their loyalty.

However, even though he had such thoughts in his heart, Chu Yun still responded to these people in a friendly manner. After all, they were still loyal to Elemental River Pavilion.

Just like that, time gradually passed. The sky was getting darker and darker. At this moment, all kinds of forces had arrived except for the local forces of the Elemental River Pavilion. There was also a row of seats at the side of the main seat that was specially prepared to serve the guests who came from the Linghai Giant City.

At 8: 30 PM, a melodious bell rang in the City Lord Mansion.

Those who had stayed in the Linghai Giant City were very familiar with this time. At this moment, they all stood up.

Chu Yun was a little slow, but he followed the crowd and stood up. Shopkeeper Yang, who was beside him, said in a low voice, "This time is the time when the city lord is born. Therefore, every time the birthday banquet is held, the city lord will come out at this time. The banquet will officially begin at this time. "

"So that's how it is. "

Chu Yun nodded. Then, he followed the crowd's gaze and saw a mighty figure slowly walking towards them from the inner region of City Lord Mansion.

That person wasn't wearing any special clothes. He was only wearing an ordinary green robe. Compared to the luxurious clothes worn by the guests at the banquet, it was much simpler.

However, that old man had an extraordinary bearing. He had the aura of someone who had been in a superior position for a long time. He had the aura of someone who could decide the lives of tens of thousands of people with a single move.

This man was the City Lord of Linghai Giant City, and he was also the Region Lord of Spiritual Sea. He was a Nirvana Stage expert, Qin Wuji.

"Congratulations on your 100th birthday. I will congratulate you on your birthday!"

Qin Shuangyan was the first to greet him. As the son of the city lord, he was the only one qualified to do so.

Alright. "

Qin Wuji nodded his head calmly and walked to the center of the banquet. He faced the gazes of the crowd and said in a deep voice," Today, I was fortunate enough to invite all the heroes of Linghai Giant City to come and congratulate me. I feel very gratified. "

"Congratulations, City Lord!"

Everyone raised their glasses and cheered.

Amidst the cheers, Qin Wuji came to the main seat and sat down. At the same time, there were firecrackers exploding around City Lord Mansion. Bright fireworks shot up to the sky and lit up half of the night sky. Around the garden, there was a group of gorgeously dressed maids who entered the banquet scene.

The banquet had officially begun.

The three maids in the lead were holding a huge plate. On top of it was a bowl of golden soup that was covered by a lid made of glass.

They arrived in front of Qin Shuangyan. Qin Shuangyan immediately stood up and lifted the lid. He held the bowl of soup with his own hands and came in front of Qin Wuji.

"Father, this soup was concocted by me after I went deep into Evil Spirit Mountain Range and killed an old turtle with a lifespan of a thousand years. Although it can't be considered a life-prolonging treasure, it still has a miraculous effect!"

Qin Shuangyan knelt on one knee in front of Qin Wuji. He held the bowl of turtle soup with both hands and said respectfully.

"Good child. "

Qin Wuji nodded. He took the bowl of turtle soup and drank it in one gulp.

A wave of praise sounded from the surroundings. Everyone was talking about City Lord's good fortune. He had such a filial son. A thousand year old spirit turtle was definitely a Fourth Grade Mountain Sea Stage or above spirit turtle, and its strength was extraordinary. Qin Shuangyan had risked his life in order to let his father drink a mouthful of turtle soup. He was really filial.

However, anyone with discerning eyes could see that Qin Shuangyan's bowl of soup was just a hint.

Next, it was time for them to take turns to send gifts to celebrate the City Lord's birthday.

The first one to stand up was the patriarch of the Wang Family, Wang Zhihong. He took out a golden silk robe from the box he carried with him. The material of the robe was made of golden silk, and it didn't look like an ordinary golden silk. These colors were combined together to form a Formation formation.

"In order to celebrate City Lord's 100th birthday, our Wang Family paid a high price to buy this Bright Gold Silk Robe from Northern Prefecture. This robe is a High-Ranked Earthly Grade!"

Wang Zhihong held this treasure and came in front of Qin Wuji.

Cries of surprise could be heard from all around.

Those who came from humble backgrounds were especially envious.

A high Earthly Grade treasure garment was totally worthy of a Mountain Sea Stage warrior. Although it might not have much effect on Qin Wuji, if it was given to anyone below him, it would be considered a very good treasure.

This was because it seemed like a Physical Body Stage warrior was equal to an Ordinary Grade warrior, unknown Critical Stage warrior was equal to a Spiritual Grade, unknown Myriad Stone Stage warrior was equal to an Earthly Grade warrior, and a Mountain Sea Stage warrior was equal to unknown Celestial Grade warrior. But in fact, this was not the case.

In this world, there were not that many magic tools and items.

Many Mountain Sea Stage warriors who cultivated by themselves did not even have an Earth rank treasure. They could only use the weapons of Spiritual Grade to work. Among Myriad Stone Stage warriors, those who could use an Earthly Grade treasure definitely came from an extraordinary background, and ordinary Mountain Sea Stage warriors were not qualified to have a high Earthly Grade treasure.

As for Qin Wuji, as the Region Lord of Spiritual Sea, his most famous weapon was only a Heaven grade Great Sun Demon Sealing Sword. Other than that, there was no other Celestial Grade treasure.

From this, it was enough to show how valuable the Advanced Earthly Grade silk robe Wang Zhihong gave them was. They had really spent a lot of money on it.

Sure enough, as soon as this treasure was taken out, Qin Wuji's expression became much friendlier. He nodded at Wang Zhihong and said, "This gift is very valuable. "

"No, it's to celebrate your birthday. No matter how good a treasure is, it can't be considered valuable!"

Wang Zhihong smiled and flattered him again.

On the other side, after Wang Zhihong went down, Zhu Hongyue was also unwilling to fall behind. She held a box and came in front of the City Lord. She opened the box and saw a carved jade bamboo inside. It did not look like it had been carved for a long time.

When this item appeared, many people raised their eyebrows in surprise. This was because from their observations, although this jade bamboo was carved quite well, the material itself wasn't anything special, nor could it be considered a very precious jade material. It was true that the City Lord liked bamboo, but this gift was too cheap, wasn't it?

"City Lord, this jade carving looks ordinary, but in reality, the person who carved it is extraordinary. It was made by Imperial Advisor, and it was his early work. Please examine it! "

Zhu Hongyue smiled sweetly and handed the jade carving to Qin Wuji.

"Is this really Imperial Advisor's work?"

When Qin Wuji heard the word 'Imperial Advisor', his expression clearly became serious. He looked at the jade carving again and his gaze became somewhat different. After taking it over and carefully observing it, he could not help but nod his head and said, "That's right. This was indeed made by Imperial Advisor. It's rare!"

As soon as his voice fell, everyone at the banquet looked at each other, especially those who felt Zhu Hongyue's gift was too cheap. They were so shocked that they were at a loss for words.

An item that could be related to the Celestial Secret Dynasty's Zhenguo Imperial Advisor, not to mention a jade carving personally carved by him, even if it was a strand of hair, it was worth everyone treating it seriously. Especially since Qin Wuji liked bamboo, this jade carving could be considered one of the gifts he was most satisfied with.

"Shuangyan, take this jade carving and place it in my study. I want to admire it day and night. "

Qin Wuji said faintly.

"Yes, father. "

Qin Shuangyan nodded. He respectfully received the jade carving with both hands and personally sent it to the study.

What was important was not the jade carving itself, nor the bamboo. It was the attitude Qin Wuji had shown to the outside world. He was an official, so he had to choose the political faction. The person with the most authority in the court was undoubtedly Imperial Advisor. Qin Wuji's actions would help him get closer to Imperial Advisor.1

"This woman is really not to be underestimated. . . "

The patriarch of the Zhang Family couldn't help but shake his head. He had paid such a huge price to give this high-grade Earthly Grade Bright Gold Silk Robe to Imperial Advisor. He originally thought that he would be able to defeat everyone at the City Lord's birthday banquet, but he didn't expect that his present would still be surpassed by Zhu Hongyue's jade carving.

Chu Yun saw that Zhu Hongyue had returned with a satisfied twist of her waist, so he prepared to get up and give the Spirit Gathering Jade prepared by the Elemental River Pavilion to her.

However, just as he was about to get up, the Patriarch of the Sun Family, Sun Shaoyang, stood up before him and strode to the front of the City Lord.

"City Lord, in order to celebrate your 100th birthday, the Sun Family has specially prepared a precious treasure. It's a three-hundred-year-old Spirit Gathering Jade. Please examine it!"

Sun Shaoyang said and opened the box. There was a fist-sized Spirit Gathering Jade lying quietly in the box. It was emitting a rich spiritual energy, causing everyone to look at it.

In terms of value, this three-hundred-year-old Spirit Gathering Jade was not inferior to the Bright Gold Silk Robe given by Wang Zhihong. In fact, in terms of practical use, it was even better.

When many people saw this, they could not help but curse in their hearts. Why were they all so rich? The things they gave out were so valuable. Didn't they feel heartache?

Chu Yun didn't know if they felt heartache for the money they spent.

However, what he knew was that Shopkeeper Yang, who was standing beside him, was stunned. His expression became very ugly.

This was because the Sun Family had given the City Lord Spirit Gathering Jades. The Elemental River Pavilion had given the City Lord a Spirit Gathering Jade as well.

The awkward thing was that the Spirit Gathering Jade given by the Sun Family had a history of 300 years, and the Elemental River Pavilion had only given it a history of 100 years.

As the saying goes, even if you wear the same clothes, don't feel embarrassed, because the uglier the person, the more awkward it will be. The current Elemental River Pavilion was that ugly person. They were extremely embarrassed.

If it wasn't for the gift from the Sun Family, the Spirit Gathering Jade they gave out wouldn't be counted among all the treasures. It was the best one, but it wasn't bad either.

But now, the Sun Family had given them a Spirit Gathering Jade that was even better than the Elemental River Pavilion. This gift from the Elemental River Pavilion wouldn't be given out so easily.

What a disgrace!

"Damn the Sun Family! They are trying to embarrass us!"

Shopkeeper Yang said in a low voice.

"I can see it. "

Chu Yun nodded and said, "Just now, Sun Shaoyang saw that I was going to give a gift, so he stood up quickly and snatched it from me. He did it on purpose. Moreover, he must know what kind of gift we are going to give him. That's why he chose this three-hundred-year-old Spirit Gathering Jade. He wants us to lose face. "

Shopkeeper Yang's facial expression became even uglier. He said, "The gift we are giving him is prepared by our subordinates. Although it's not a secret, not many people know about it. In the Elemental River Pavilion, only a few people know about it. Someone has leaked the news. When I return, I will definitely find this traitor. I am so angry! "

"When I go back, I will definitely find this mole! Let's think about how to get through this first. "

Chu Yun shook his head.
