The people from all the forces in Verdant Enchanted City were all shrewd people, they were aware of even the slightest movents of all parties in the city. Today, where they were old friends who had been sent invitations, or people who weren't close to the family, all used the excuse of the occasion of the Old Predecessor of the Wang Family's birthday to visit him. At the sa ti, they also wanted to find out the origins of the woman in red. The Old Predecessor of the Wang Family had long guessed what those people were thinking. Therefore, as the birthday banquet was a big event, they had sent out invitations. Those without invitations were not allowed to enter, even if they had turned up at the mansion. "I'm sorry, our Patriarch has ordered that today is the Old Predecessor's birthday banquet, so guests entering the mansion must have an invitation." The Steward stood at the gate and spoke apologetically to two cultivators holding birthday gifts. Upon hearing this, the two of them looked at each other and said: "In that case, please accept the gift!" And handed the gift forward. However, the Steward said: "We appreciate your kindness, but the Patriarch has given orders not to accept gifts from people who haven't been invited, so…" "Haha, I heard that the Old Predecessor only sent out ninety nine invitations, those who are able to attend must have a strong friendship with him." An old man walked forward with a smile and handed over the invitation in his hand: " The invitation says I can bring two people, so I have brought my two grandchildren with to pay our respects to the Old Predecessor Wang."
"Ah, it's Old Predecessor Li, please co in." The Steward took the invitation and looked at it, then he smiled and invited them inside. Upon seeing this, everyone around realised that they wouldn't be able to enter without an invitation, so they left. Inside the Wang Mansion, everyone gathered together and looked at the people who were sitting in the front courtyard. They were slightly surprised. Almost all the people from the major forces in the city had co, other than the Old Patriarch of the Ruan Family and Old Predecessor of the Han Family, even the Old Predecessors and Patriarchs of the other family clans had shown up. Generally speaking, as the Patriarch was in charge of the family clan, the Old Predecessors didn't tend to get involved with family matters. However, all the Old Predecessors of the family clans were sitting together today, they knew why they had all co here today. Normally, they were nowhere to be seen, but today, many of them had turned up. They were here to celebrate the birthday of the Old Predecessor of the Wang Family, but in actual fact, they wanted to use this opportunity to find out the origin of the mysterious woman in red. However, they looked around a few tis but still didn't see the woman in red. At this ti, Feng Jiu was taking a nap leisurely on the daybed. Normally, the banquet would be held outside, however, the Wang Family wanted to hold a grand celebration, they had been entertaining guests since the morning. At the sa ti, people who didn't usually get together were also able to have a good chat. Therefore, despite the hustle and bustle at the front of the mansion, it was quiet and peaceful in the Plum Garden Courtyard, completely unaffected by everything happening at the front of the mansion. "Master, what gift shall we give to the Old Predecessor of the Wang Family?" Du Fan asked, he poured himself a cup of tea and drank it. Feng Jiu's eyes were closed. She replied without opening her eyes: "What else can we give him besides dicinal pills? I don't have anything else, just a lot of dicinal pills."
Upon hearing this, Du Fan thought for a mont, then he asked: "What kind of dicinal pill do you want to give him? I still have so in space that Master gave to ."
"Keep the ones you have! They won't be useful if you give them to him anyway." She thought for a mont, then sat up and took a dicinal pill out from space and handed it to Du Fan: "Give him this one!"
