...
May the old lady enjoy boundless happiness and longevity!
"This is a birthday gift from the Zhang family: a century-old snow mountain ginseng."
"The Li family came to offer their birthday wishes, bringing a pair of purple-gold and warm jade ornaments."
"The Green Family sent a congratulatory gift: a pair of jade toads."
"..."
As one priceless treasure after another arrived, Yan Shufang was overjoyed, her face beaming with delight, and she kept muttering, "Good, good, good."
Just as the guests took their seats, the servant announced again, "Young Master Wang, Wang Shifan has sent a thousand-year-old coral."
As he spoke, Wang Shifan, dressed in a dashing manner, entered the hall and bowed to Yan Shufen with a beaming smile: "Grandma, I wish you boundless happiness and a long and healthy life."
Yan Shufen hurriedly got up and wrote: "I didn't expect the young master to grace our humble abode with his presence. It is truly an honor for our Pang family. Feiyan, hurry up and go to receive the young master."
Pang Feiyan immediately approached Wang Shifan in a sweet and charming manner, bowing her head and performing a deep curtsy: "Young Master Wang, this humble woman greets you."
Wang Shifan's eyes lingered greedily on Pang Feiyan for a while, recalling the scene of their deep conversation at the inn last night, and he couldn't help but savor the memory.
"Miss Pang, please, no need for such formalities."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Pang Feiyan's younger sister, Pang Xiaojuan, immediately said, "Brother Wang, I wish you were my brother-in-law. You'd be so much better than that good-for-nothing who only knows how to scrub toilets."
Upon hearing this, Tang Ran, who was holding a box not far away, immediately frowned and was about to lash out.
But then I thought, today is the day I'm about to shine, so I'll just have to hold back for now.
He had contacted the people of the Dragon King's Palace, who told him that they would soon bring him back to the position of young master, and that someone would come to meet him today.
When the Pang family finds out who they are, what will their expressions be?
Tang Ran became more and more excited as she thought about it.
On the other side, Wang Shifan looked at the two sisters in front of him and thought to himself how wonderful it would be to have them both serve him.
Then he said to Yan Shufen, "Grandma, my Wang family has another gift to offer. I would like to entrust the business of mining the spiritual veins in Beishan to your Pang family."
Upon hearing this, Yan Shufen was overjoyed: "Oh my, Young Master Wang is truly generous. My Pang family would be so happy to have a son-in-law like you."
Then, he said to Pang Feiyan, "Feiyan, you should be able to feel the affection that Young Master Wang has for you, right?"
"Grandma~"
Pang Feiyan blushed and looked at Wang Shifan with deep affection.
This man gave her the true joy of being a woman, how could she not be happy?
Seeing this, Tang Ran's face twisted with rage, and he cursed inwardly, "You slut, how dare you cuckold me! Wait till today is over, and see how I punish you!"
Meanwhile, in a corner at the edge of the living room, Gu Jingyan, who was traveling incognito, looked at the extravagant and luxurious space in front of him with a gloomy expression.
"The people outside are suffering terribly, yet the Pang family is holding such a lavish birthday banquet. What a patriotic and concerned family they are!"
Just then, the servant reported again: "Reporting to the Old Madam, the Immortal Elder Feng Wuxing of Taichu Peak has arrived."
As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Wuxing appeared leisurely in the banquet hall with two disciples.
The Pang family, along with Wang Shifan, dared not be negligent and rose to greet them: "Greetings, Immortal Master."
Feng Wuxing bowed to Yan Shufen and said, "I learned that today is the old lady's birthday. Because I was in a hurry, I did not bring any gifts. I hope that the old lady will recite this Duobao Sutra three times a day and it will prolong her life."
"The fact that the immortal has come is a great honor for the Pang family. How dare we mortals accept a gift from the immortal?"
Despite this, Yan Shufen still accepted the Duobao Sutra.
Feng Wuxing nodded, exchanged a glance with Pang Hu for a moment, and then sat down next to the chief.
He was indifferent to worldly affairs; his purpose in coming here was simply to target Shen Zhao and his group of "liars."
Seeing this, Gu Jingyan's heart sank: "The Pang family has a connection with Taichu Peak, so even if we find out the evidence, we probably can't take action against them easily."
He decided to observe quietly and leave it at that for the time being.
Not long after Feng Wuxing arrived, Shen Zhao also arrived with Ding Bu'er and Su Yunying.
When Pang Yang and Tang Ran saw Su Yunying, their hearts pounded, and their greed was almost impossible to hide.
Shen Zhao strode up to Yan Shufen and her group, and casually bowed, saying, "Old man, I hope you have a happy birthday."
After saying that, without waiting for their reply, he sat down at Feng Wuxing's table amidst everyone's shocked gazes.
Yan Shufen was very displeased with such an unreasonable person and was about to reprimand him when Pang Hu stopped her: "Madam, this is an elder of the Court of Justice. We must not neglect him."
Yan Shufen then suppressed her anger, for she truly dared not offend the people of the Xuanmen sect.
Feng Wuxing noticed someone sitting next to him, but only glanced at them before closing his eyes again to rest.
Shen Zhao then picked up his chopsticks and urged Su Yunying and Ding Bu'er, "Eat quickly, because after this meal, the next one might be separated by a bridge of no return."
These words were extremely ominous, and they infuriated the Pang family.
But no one dared to lash out, so they could only swallow their anger for the time being.
The moment Gu Jingyan saw Shen Zhao, he instinctively wanted to get up.
He certainly knew Shen Zhao, and they had even had quite a few exchanges, especially since Shen Zhao ran away on the day the Empress ascended the throne, leaving Gu Jingyan completely baffled as to what had happened.
But he held back. Now that Shen Zhao had appeared, he would ask him about his many questions after the birthday banquet.
At this moment, a fat monk covered in dirt appeared out of nowhere and slowly walked towards Yan Shufen.
Before they could react, the monk said directly, "Amitabha, benefactor, this humble monk Fahai greets you."
