Chapter 85: Chapter 85 Inciting Little Sparrow

The Zhang Family Elder shook his head and furrowed his brows with a heavy sigh:

“Alas…

“The situation isn’t great. Although it’s not as bad as the rumors outside suggest, our old ancestor probably won’t last much longer.”

Elder Yu also sighed:

“Alas…

“It’s such a pity…’

“Your Zhang Family Patriarch is truly a remarkable figure of his generation. He has inspired so many people…”

“I hope you can find the Lifespan Extension Pill soon.”

After Elder Yu finished speaking, both men fell silent.

Then, many more people came over.

The atmosphere became livelier, unlike the earlier somberness.

Since most of these people knew each other and had dealings with one another, they took advantage of the moment before the banquet began to mingle.

Elder Yu took the reluctant Huang Qingling to meet people from various families.

After all, as Elder Bai’s niece, Huang Qingling was not only talented but also remarkably beautiful. She was well-known among the children of these families, and many had taken a liking to her.

If it weren’t for Elder Bails consistent refusal, those old folks would have shamelessly sought a good match for their sons a long time ago.

Huang Qingling felt helpless about this…

Even though she had never shown a pleasant face to those people, she still couldn’t stop their enthusiasm.

But she couldn’t very well make a scene, so she had no choice but to follow Elder Yu in greeting the elders of the various families.

Even the Zhang Family Elder did the same, taking the young man of the Zhang Family with him.

So, only Lin Jing and Little Sparrow were left at the table… no, one person and one eagle…

“Little Sparrow, come here…”

Lin Jing called out in a low voice.

Little Sparrow looked up at Lin Jing and then walked over with a hint of wariness.

“Don’t you want to eat something delicious? Let me tell you, this place has the most…”

Lin Jing leaned in and whispered to Little Sparrow.

As Little Sparrow listened to Lin Jing’s tale, her eyes rounded and brightened.

“Remember, you must come back at midnight, go to their kitchen, and make sure you don’t get caught…

While Lin Jing spoke, he kept glancing around to ensure no one was paying attention to them before he relaxed.

After a while, the banquet began, and they all returned to their seats.

However, Lin Jing’s instigation had already been carried out, and now he sat there as if nothing was amiss, very obediently.

The banquet started quickly and ended just as swiftly…

Most of these people weren’t particularly interested in the delicacies, their main goal being to strengthen relationships and foster goodwill among the various families.

Of course, it was different for Lin Jing’s group. With Huang Qingling and Little Sparrow present, not a single dish brought to the table was wasted—everything went into their stomachs.

This left the somewhat dull-looking young man of the Zhang Family in a constant state of bemusement.

Clearly…

The ideal image of Huang Qingling in his heart had shattered.

The banquet ended quickly.

Because Elder Bai and the other Golden Core Cultivators still had matters to discuss.

So, Elder Yu took Huang Qingling and Lin Jing to leave first.

Walking on the way back, Huang Qingling frowned and said:

“I’m never coming to this kind of event again, it’s just too exhausting.”

“Luckily, that annoying guy didn’t show up today, or I really fear I would lose control and beat him up.”
