Chapter 140: Birthday Celebration, and a Slap in the Face!

"The Qingyi Marquis Mansion of the Great Xia Dynasty actually came to celebrate Li's birthday?"

Everyone was very surprised!

Although the Qingyi Marquis Mansion can only be regarded as a medium-sized force in the Great Xia Dynasty, it is much stronger than the Li family in the Black Water Ancient City.

What's more, behind the Qingyi Marquis Mansion is the Great Xia Emperor!

It is said!

The Qingyi Marquis is highly regarded by the Great Xia Emperor and has a bright future...

"Is there any relationship between the Qingyi Marquis Mansion and the Li family?"

"I think so."

"I heard that the first generation of the Qingyi Marquis of the Great Xia Dynasty was helped by an ancestor of the Li family and saved his life."

"Therefore, the relationship between the two families has always been maintained!"

"Although they don't visit each other on weekdays, there is still some incense between them..."

"So that's it!"

...

Everyone suddenly realized.

At the same time!

After sending Pei Jianzhi to the Ziyun Palace, Li Xuandao hurried out again and greeted him with a smile.

"The Qingyi Marquis Mansion has come, and the Li family is honored!"

"Niece Luo, please take a seat in the Purple Cloud Hall..."

Li Xuandao greeted.

However!

Facing his warm reception, although Luo Qinghan acted calm and indifferent, she revealed a sense of indifference.

Compared to her, Yue Furong's eyes revealed a cold breath.

The eyes looking at Li Xuandao were even colder!

Uh~

Feeling this indifference, Li Xuandao frowned slightly.

He didn't understand, what exactly had offended Luo Qinghan, or offended the Qingyi Marquis Mansion?

"Niece Luo, you..."

"Patriarch Li, may I ask if your eighth son Li Chenzhou is here?"

Li Chenzhou?

Hearing this suddenly, Li Xuandao became more and more confused.

"This... To be honest, I haven't seen Chenzhou in the past two days. But he should show up at the birthday ceremony later, right?"

"I don't know what you are looking for him for, Niece Luo?"

He asked curiously.

In Li Xuandao's impression, there seemed to be no intersection between Li Chenzhou and Luo Qinghan.

Why did Luo Qinghan come to him by name?

"Is there something I don't know?"

He thought secretly.

Although he was puzzled, he didn't get too entangled.

After inviting Luo Qinghan and Yue Furong into the Purple Cloud Hall, he went to greet other guests...

...

Dong!

I don't know how long it took, accompanied by a majestic and majestic bell sound, the long-awaited birthday ceremony finally kicked off.

"The good time has arrived, and the birthday ceremony begins!"

"Please invite all the descendants and clansmen of the Li family to celebrate the birthday of the ancestor Duantian..."

Suddenly.

A loud voice resounded inside and outside the manor.

Hualala!

As the voice fell, the sons, direct descendants and clansmen of the Li family came to the outside of the Purple Cloud Hall one by one, ready to celebrate the birthday of Li Duantian in order.

Seeing this!

Li Xuandao glanced over and frowned immediately.

Of the nine most outstanding sons of the Li family, only seven have come now!

Among them, the first son Li Chengtian and the eighth son Li Chenzhou are nowhere to be seen...

Especially, these two are his sons!

"Chengtian has always been steady in his work, and there was news before. He should have arrived this morning. Why is he still missing?"

"Could it be that something happened on the way?"

"And Li Chenzhou, the rebellious son, today is the 800th birthday of the ancestor, how could he disappear without a trace?"

The more he thought about it.

The more puzzled Li Xuandao became!

So, he waved and called for the housekeeper Li Shanhe...

"Why hasn't Chengtian arrived yet? Didn't there was news that he should have arrived this morning?"

"This...I don't know."

"Patriarch, could it be that the eldest son was delayed on the way?"

Li Shanhe asked tentatively.

In response!

Li Xuandao shook his head.

"Chengtian has a steady personality and can clearly distinguish the importance of things. Even if he really encounters something, he will send information in advance."

"Don't worry, clan leader, the eldest son will definitely be fine."

"I hope so!"

"Oh, by the way, where is Li Chenzhou? Why haven't I seen him these two days?"

"This... clan leader, I haven't seen the eighth son's trace in the past two days. Since Miss Luo Qinghan from the Qingyi Marquis's Mansion came, he has been elusive all day long."

Li Shanhe replied.

Huh?

Luo Qinghan again?

Hearing this, Li Xuandao frowned even more tightly.

Before, Luo Qinghan asked him about Li Chenzhou's whereabouts. Now, he heard that Li Chenzhou was elusive all day long, and it seemed to be related to Luo Qinghan.

This made him wonder what the relationship between the two was...

"Chief, the birthday celebration of the ancestor has already begun, and the eldest and eighth sons have not returned. How about letting the other sons and clan members pay their respects to the ancestor first?"

"Well, that's fine!"

"Send someone to look for him right away and see if you can find him..."

"Yes!"

Li Shanhe bowed in response.

As he said that.

He arranged many people to go out and look for Li Chenzhou.

For this scene, Li Heishui, who was hiding in the darkness, saw it clearly.

"Hey, you want to find Li Chenzhou? You will be able to see him soon..."

Right away.

It's time for him to perform!

…

No one in the Li family knew about Li Heishui who was plotting secretly.

now!

In the majestic and majestic Ziyun Palace, birthday greetings are being held in full swing...

"Li Chengyin pays homage to his ancestor and wishes him eternal life and eternal youth!"

A man in brocade clothes with extraordinary temperament came to Li Duantian first and kowtowed.

Say it.

A simple jade box was also presented, which contained a 30,000-year-old dragon-blooded Ganoderma lucidum. Its rich medicinal fragrance swept through the interior and exterior of Ziyun Palace.

"Dragon Blood Ganoderma, Chengyin is interested~"

Li Duantian smiled and nodded.

He seemed quite satisfied with this birthday gift!

"Li Chengjin pays homage to the ancestor and wishes the ancestor a long and prosperous journey!"

After Li Chengyin.

Another imposing man in brocade came to Li Duantian and bowed respectfully.

Subsequently.

He also gave his birthday gift.

A top-grade beauty elixir!

After using it, creatures below the Zhoutian realm can look 300 years younger...

"Chengjin, this is a good thing, my ancestor likes it very much!"

Li Duantian smiled broadly.

after all!

A youthful look is what everyone wants!

"Li Chengyuan pays homage to the ancestor and wishes the ancestor to be as blessed as the East Sea and live as long as the Southern Mountains!"

"Chengyue pays homage to the ancestor and wishes the ancestor..."

"Li Chengshan pays homage to the ancestor..."

…

As the birthday ceremony progressed, outstanding sons of the Li family appeared in front of everyone one after another, respectfully paying homage to Li Duantian.

at the same time!

Give me your birthday gift!

"Li Chengfeng pays homage to the ancestor and wishes that the sun and moon will not fall, and the spring and autumn will last forever!"

Sudden.

A voice caught Lin Wudao's attention.

Li Chengfeng?

The Ninth Young Master of Blackwater Ancient City?

A moment!

Lin Wudao's eyes fell on him.

Before.

It was this person who caused him to lose nearly tens of millions of luck points!

Lin Wudao has always remembered this name...

"If there is a chance, I must let this boy repay all the luck points I have lost. If it doesn't work, I can use the Li family's resources to offset the debt."

He was thinking secretly in his heart.

Say it.

Lin Wudao observed the birthday greetings in Ziyun Palace for a while, and then looked at Li Heishui who was hiding in the dark.

now!

He has arrived at Ziyun Palace quietly.

Moreover, a cold and evil smile appeared on the corner of his mouth...

"Xuandao, where are Chengtian and Shen Zhouren?"

At this time.

Li Duantian's doubtful voice sounded in Ziyun Palace.

"Reporting to our ancestors, there may have been a minor accident on the Chengtian Road, and we will have to wait a while before returning to Heishui Ancient City."

"As for Shen Zhou, it is said that he went out to find birthday gifts for my ancestor, but he has not come back yet..."

Li Xuandao said respectfully.

Hear the words!

Li Duantian smiled and shook his head.

"These two children are not a worry at all. When they come back, remember to tell me."

"yes!"

"Don't worry, ancestor, if nothing happens, Chengtian and Shen Zhou will be back soon..."

Boom!

Just as Li Xuandao's voice rang out, suddenly, an embarrassed figure fell from mid-air and appeared in the Ziyun Palace in full view of everyone.

Just like that, it hit Li Xuandao's feet...
