1026 Birthday Banquet 1 (1/2)
Time passed and the days went by one at a time. Qu Xin Rui's birthday was quickly approaching and the batch of people who were to be sent back out of the city would be bidding their families goodbye on the day after the birthday banquet. Torn away from their home soil, and placed back into captivity in that stifling prison.
It was already evening on that day. After Xiong Ba and Qing Yu finished dealing with the clan's tasks, they immediately went towards Jun Xie's room. This day, they would be going to the Heavenly Cloud Chambers together, to offer their congratulations to that person for her birthday.
Although it was to be congratulatory, but there wasn't the slightest tinge of voluntary willingness on Xiong Ba's face. The congratulatory gift from him was even prepared by Qing Yu. Jun Wu Xie packed up her things and then took out a bottle of elixirs from her Cosmos Sack to hold in her hand.
When Xiong Ba saw the bottle in Jun Xie's hand, he asked curiously: ”What is that?”
”Congratulatory gift.” Jun Wu Xie replied.
Xiong Ba's eyes widened.
”You have even prepared a congratulatory gift for that old hag?”
Jun Wu Xie's gaze fell calmly onto the two brocade boxes Qing Yu was carrying.
Xiong Ba's face turned red and he coughed awkwardly.
”That was prepared by Qing Yu. I am not going to give anything to that old hag. Not a single copper coin.”
Qing Yu looked at Xiong Ba with a bitter laugh. He had not prepared anything, but wouldn't that mean Qing Yu had to do it for him?
”Young Master Jun, please do not mind him. Our Clan Chief has always been like this. Making him attend the banquet is no different from pushing him up onto the executioner's block. For that person's birthday banquet every year, I have always had to prepare two congratulatory gifts. As Young Master Jun is not from our Thousand Beast City, it will be alright even if you do not bring any gift.”
