The laughter in the warm hall froze instantly.
The old man is from a branch of the Shen family.
Just as he said, he was the only son in the family, and his talent in cultivation was pretty good, at least he could be ranked among his peers.
He should have been the hope of the family, but as the old man said, his body was not strong enough.
I heard that he has been so sick recently that he can't even get out of bed.
It is indeed a sad thing for the elderly to bury the young. Everyone put away the smiles on their faces and looked at the old man with sympathy.
The atmosphere that should have been filled with laughter and joy was suddenly shrouded in a deep sadness.
The good banquet was disrupted like this, Shen Ning'er frowned slightly, feeling unhappy.
This old thing is getting less and less perceptive as she gets older. Doesn't she know that today is her good day? She has to jump out and say all this nonsense. It's really unlucky.
Shen Ning'er was secretly annoyed and wanted to throw the old man out, but unfortunately she couldn't show this anger on her face. She frowned and then relaxed, and hurriedly supported the old man who was about to bow to her.
"Uncle San, please rest assured. When I arrive at the Wuji Sect, I will definitely find a way to ask the Immortal Venerable Taiqing to save my brother."
The brother Xuan that Shen Ning'er mentioned was the old man's son.
When the old man saw that she agreed, he suddenly felt as if a drowning person had grabbed a piece of driftwood, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes. He clapped Shen Ning'er's hand, and tears of excitement streamed down his face.
Seeing this, everyone sighed and comforted the old man. They shifted their focus to Shen Ning'er and poured out praises as if they were free.
The person in front of me is the disciple of the Purple Spirit Immortal Venerable. I should establish a good relationship with him first, so that when I need help from him one day, my chances of success will be better.
Therefore, this time, the praises from the crowd unconsciously contained a bit of fawning and flattering meaning.
Surrounded by the crowd, Shen Ning'er immediately felt a sense of superiority, her back straightened, and her chin unconsciously raised a few degrees.
It's a pity that the little bitch Shen Qiqi wasn't there, so I didn't waste such a good opportunity to piss her off to death.
Shen Ning’er thought regretfully in her heart.
No, I have to step on that little bitch.
Shen Ning'er's eyes turned, and she suddenly sighed: "If only Aunt Qing were still here, Aunt Qing's medical skills would be very good."
The "Auntie Qing" that Shen Ning'er mentioned is Shen Qiqi's mother, Meng Wanqing.
The woman who suddenly switched from hexagram cultivation to medical cultivation after giving birth to a child was beautiful, smart, and extremely talented. In just a few years, she reached the pinnacle of medical cultivation and achieved an achievement that others could never achieve in their entire lives.
It is a pity that such a legendary woman was so beautiful and had a tragic life that she passed away prematurely.
Since the topic has turned to Meng Wanqing, everyone can't help but think of her daughter Shen Qiqi.
Such an outstanding mother gave birth to a useless daughter.
Because this was at the Shen family, although no one directly mentioned Shen Qiqi, everyone knew what they meant by the way they shook their heads and sighed.
If children are promising, parents will be proud. If children are not promising, parents will not even have the confidence to speak.
Seeing that everyone was shaking their heads and sighing, Shen Mingyu's good mood was wiped out. He felt that his little daughter had made him lose face. He picked up the wine glass and drank it all in a depressed gulp.
They were both his, Shen Mingyu's, daughters, so why was there such a huge difference? If the younger daughter had been half as well-behaved and sensible as the older one, he wouldn't have been ridiculed like this.
Shen Ning'er glanced slightly sideways, and saw her father's gloomy face. She knew that her plan had succeeded, and she couldn't help but curled her lips in triumph.
It’s a pity that I can’t bring up the fact that the little bitch got angry and ran away from home, otherwise I can step on her hard again.
First, she called off her marriage with Xie Beiming of the Lin'an Xie family, and now she has called off her marriage with Qiu Changfeng of the Langting Qiu family.
The two young masters of noble families were played around by her like this. Who does she think she is? Just a useless person.
It’s a shame that such a good-for-nothing got the world’s rarest treasure!
Thinking of the Fire-Separating Pill that Shen Qiqi had eaten, Shen Ning'er felt so angry that she wanted to drag Shen Qiqi over and cut open her abdomen to take out the pill!
At this moment, the housekeeper hurried in from outside, walked straight to Shen Mingyu, and whispered something in his ear.
Shen Mingyu tightened his grip on the wine glass and looked suddenly at the butler.
"Is the information reliable?"
Shen Mingyu's voice trembled slightly due to excitement.
The butler nodded with a smile.
"I was worried it was a misunderstanding at first, so after hearing the news brought back by the servant, I was about to go to the Fuchengpo Inn to confirm it myself. But as soon as I left the house, I ran into the Jiang family who came to give me a thank-you gift... The Jiang family is waiting outside with the thank-you gift. Patriarch, would you like to invite them in?"
"Please! Please come in! Please let the person in!" Shen Mingyu said hurriedly.
Just kidding, such great news, of course he can’t hide it, he has to let everyone know and envy him!
Didn’t you just laugh at my, Shen Mingyu’s, little daughter and call her a waste? Now I’ll show you what it means to make a big splash!
The depression on Shen Mingyu's face disappeared immediately, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
His back, which had been bent, was straightened up with confidence.
The housekeeper ran downstairs, and soon, singing chorus was heard outside the door.
"Elder Jiang of the Jinyang Jiang Clan has arrived—"
The voice was loud and powerful, and everyone in the warm room could hear it clearly.
Everyone in the hall suddenly became quiet.
Then a low murmur of discussion was heard.
