1042 Birthday Gifts (1/2)
The four of them sighed at the same time, a sense of helplessness in their hearts.
Miao Xiao Miao's attitude had told them that today's banquet was likely not just a birthday feast. It was quite possibly going to become a groom selection feast, or even… an engagement party?
Because there wasn't even the slightest look of anxiousness in Miao Xiao Miao and Mo Jun Ye's eyes. It was as if they did not even take this matter seriously. That only meant one thing: The matter between the two of them had already gotten the approval of the Miao Family!
Li Xing Yue had said those words to firstly remind and befriend, and also as a way of probing!
Now that the matter had been confirmed, the four of them finally gave up for real!
”Good rascal! You really have ability!” Li Xing Yue said with a light smile as he clapped his hand roughly against Jun Mo Xie's shoulder and laughed. ”You're really… f*ck! The number one beauty of our Misty Illusory Manor was actually plucked away by you just like that! Today, I must make you drink until you're lying under the table! Otherwise, how will the few of us be able to vent the frustration in our hearts!”
Meng Xian Ru and the rest instantly echoed their agreement. Since they were helpless against him in the field of love, and their chances of coming out on top based on Xuan cultivation talent was too minute, the only choice left was to destroy him at the drinking table! That would be the only way they could regain some of their wounded pride!
”I'll gladly keep you company.” Jun Mo Xie said with a slight smile. ”However… if the few of you end up under the table first, you mustn't blame this brother for being a bad sport. There's no room for mercy in this kind of matters.”
”With just you?” The few youngsters roared with laughter as their faces were filled with self confidence! The few of them were all people that had all gone through the fiery refinement of wine and alcohol. Moreover, their cultivation were extraordinary, and they were exceedingly confident in their ability to hold their liquor. This little fellow that came from the outside with only his Golden Xuan cultivation was truly fearless, to imagine that he could defeat all of them in a contest of drinking? What a ludicrous joke…
”We drink with our cultivations sealed.” Zhang Qi Yun reminded kindly, instantly earning the white eyes of the other three. Not to mention that our Xuan Qi is far superior, even if we didn't use any Xuan Qi, with our ability to hold liquor, and in a situation of four against one, there's no reason why we'll lose. So what if the opponent has the legendary Free and Natural Physique? We've never heard that the Free and Natural Physique is immune to alcohol!
At that moment...
”Thank you everyone for attending this grand birthday celebration. May our Manor Lord have many more happy returns. We invite all out honored guests to proceed to the Longevity Hall to offer your blessings and present your gifts.” A voice suddenly rang out. Jun Mo Xie nearly burst out laughing: this Manor Lord is truly different from everyone, to think that he had even begun to openly ask for gifts… this was truly a little overbearing… Looks like apart from the Miao Family, the other seven large families as well as those other factions that have great status are going to have a hole in their wallets this time…
At this time, the Longevity Hall was already extremely lively!
All the high level people of the Misty Illusory Manor had practically all gathered for the sake of the Manor Lord's grand birthday!
With just a single look, Young Master Jun was already completely speechless.
In this place, there were at least 40, 50 Saint Venerable level experts! Many reclusive experts had also come out this time. As for Saint Emperors, there were over a hundred of them in total. Even people of Cao Guo Feng and Bai Qi Feng's caliber did not stand out at all in this kind of setting… such a lineup could be said to be exceedingly powerful…
Everyone was beaming and talking cheerfully, their faces wreathed in joy. The Zhan Family's head Zhan Wu Yun was also smiling and interacting with everyone in a familiar manner, looking extremely happy. From the looks of it, he seemed even happier than if this was his own birthday…
Miao Jing Yun sat at the highest position, wearing a completely red long robe. A huge ”longevity” was emblazoned right in the center of his chest, as if he was afraid that others would not know that he was the old monster celebrating his 500th birthday today.
Truthfully, even without the huge 'longevity' word, he was the only fellow wearing red in the great hall, as if he was a red packet…
This kind of atmosphere might be a little tacky, but it was quite lively. It gave Jun Mo Xie a feeling of a thick kinship…
To be able to achieve such a great level of unity among the high echelons of the Misty Illusory Manor was no doubt an extremely admirable thing.
On the Xuan Xuan Continent, such a thing would be exceedingly rare!
As loud voice of the Master of Ceremonies rang out, everyone went up to give the Manor Lord their blessings and presented their carefully prepared presents. The atmosphere was joyful and lively, and as each present was revealed, the cheers and excitement in the hall grew greater and greater.
It was as if this birthday celebration was a day for flaunting wealth.
Miao Jing Yun sat happily atop the seat in the middle, and spoke softly with his old brothers, seemingly discussing something.
