Chapter 908: Birthday Feast X
How could the old master be so ruthless?
“It’s nothing.” Seeing that Mu Ling was about to lose his temper, Chen Qingyan held onto his arm as she shook her head and smiled wryly.
“Brother Ling, don’t worry about me. Today is the old master’s birthday. Don’t lose your temper because of me. I am n.o.body. You don’t have to defend me.”
Clenching his fists tightly, Mu Ling was getting angrier. His cold gaze was fixed upon the lady who was speaking just now.
Initially, everyone was staring at Chen Qingyan. Now, everyone looked at the door.
“This… who is this young lady? Why have I never met her before? Why is she here in the chief manor? The manor master has gotten another wife?”
“Previously, Qin Fei’er was the most beautiful lady in Tian Shen Manor. Now, she is no match for this young lady at all. She is so stunning, I like her.”
At the door of the banquet hall, Gu Yiyi walked in after Gu Shi with a smile full of subtle charm.
When Gu Shi heard the chatter, his eyes lit up, his gaze swept across the crowd. When he saw the face of the young master who was speaking just now, the light in his eyes faded instantly.
‘Pfft! You have such a hideous countenance, how dare you peep at my daughter! You aimed for something out of your league!’
“You are seeking your own demise, aren’t you? She is Gu Yiyi!” The person standing next to the young master nudged him, lightly.
Who else could stand next to Gu Shi other than Gu Yiyi? Although the young master was not allowed to attend the feast in the chief manor, he heard that Gu Yiyi had lost weight.
Hearing this, the young master’s face changed. A look of shock and disbelief crept into his eyes.
Gu Yiyi—the two hundred and fifty pound lady had actually turned into such a stunning beauty?
Perhaps, many of the people had never thought that the gorgeous young lady was Gu Yiyi. The whole place sank into silence.
Gu Shi paid no heed to the people around him and walked toward the old master of the Mu family.
“Old Master, intially, I did not intend to come to the Mu family. However, no matter what the people of the Mu family have done to me, I respect you.
“Bring the gift to the old master!”
“At your command.” The guard of the chief manor handed over a box of spirit herb, respectfully.
The butler who stood next to the old master received the box on his behalf.
“This spirit herb could enhance your health and prolong your life. May you live a thousand years.” Gu Shi smiled faintly.
If one wished a cultivator to live a hundred years, he was, no doubt, cursing him. A cultivator could live more than a hundred years if he was healthy.
The more powerful a cultivator was, the longer he could live. Only an ordinary human who was not capable of cultivating would wish someone to live a hundred years.
“Thank you, Manor Master. This old butler would like to express my grat.i.tude and appreciation to you on behalf of the old master.”
A mixed feeling crept into the butler’s heart. The old master’s strength had greatly declined. This spirit herb was indeed a great gift to the old master.
The butler could not help wondering if Grandmaster Hai Rong told Grandmaster Qian Kun about the old master’s health condition. Otherwise, why would Gu Shi give this spirit herb to the old master?
Chen Qingyan’s hands balled into fists. The old master had truly lost his senses because of his poor health. Usually, the old master would get Mu Ling to accept the gift on his behalf. Gu Shi had actually given the gift personally to the old master?
“Lady Qingyan, we are giving a Grade-6 spirit herb to the old master as a gift. As the old master is not feeling well, Young Master Mu, please accept the gift on the old master’s behalf. Please simmer this spirit herb for the old master.” Wen Yu smiled.
