Chapter 157: Send Me an Invitation, Want to Gross Me Out?

Carefree Inn, inside a guest room.

Xiao Yang sat by the window, gazing at the rising sun in the sky.

He couldn’t remember exactly when it started.

Little Junior Sister Jiang Ting held a birthday banquet for Little Junior Brother Qin Fei every year, right?

It seems like it all started the year she first forgot his birthday!

That was the same year his grandfather sent him to Qingyang Mountain, the year Little Junior Sister Jiang Ting’s mother passed away.

With her mother gone and her father Jiang Qitian only newly appointed as the Sect Leader of Qingyang Sword Sect, the sect wasn’t entirely on her side.

Father Jiang Qitian was busy securing his position, leaving him with no time to console Jiang Ting, who had just lost her mother.

At that time, Xiao Yang had just arrived at the mountain.

So, the two kids became playmates.

He was the one who helped Little Junior Sister gradually move past her grief after losing her mother.

Their bond was strong.

They played together, trained together, supporting one another.

During a physical test at the sect, they discovered Xiao Yang possessed the True Sun Holy Body, and he was taken as the Sect Leader’s personal disciple.

He worked hard, and after just over a decade of cultivation, he broke through to the Heavenly Martial Realm, becoming the youngest sword master in Qingyang Sword Sect’s history.

Years later, he defeated all his peers within the sect and claimed the title of Sect Holy Son.

He thought he would inherit the role of Sect Leader.

He thought he would marry Little Junior Sister.

He thought he would lead Qingyang Sword Sect onto a path of glory.

But everything quietly changed after a boy named Qin Fei joined Qingyang Sword Sect.

From childhood, Little Junior Sister had never forgotten his birthday.

But he sensed her attitude toward him was changing—becoming indifferent, impatient, and sometimes even moody.

Until she forgot his birthday for the first time.

On his birthday, he had everything ready early at the Saint Son’s Residence.

He prepared a large feast filled with dishes Little Junior Sister loved.

He even made a trip to Spirit Herb Valley to pick various spiritual fruits she adored.

To help her improve her cultivation, he spent half a year traveling to cities in the northern region, finally finding a Dragon Transformation Pill at Dan Ding Pavilion.

However, he waited from noon till night.

But Little Junior Sister Jiang Ting never showed up.

He waited until midnight; still, she didn’t come.

That was when Little Junior Sister forgot his birthday for the first time.

The next day, Little Junior Brother Qin Fei was prancing around proudly in front of him.

Turns out Little Junior Sister was with Qin Fei because he had accidentally hurt his finger while sword training.

Just because Qin Fei injured his finger, Little Junior Sister Jiang Ting spent the whole night comforting him.

Xiao Yang looked at Qin Fei’s injured finger.

It was just a small cut, half an inch long.

Just this little injury?

Because of this tiny cut, Little Junior Sister forgot his birthday. Or rather, she chose to be with Qin Fei instead of celebrating with him.

After that, every year Little Junior Sister held a birthday banquet for Little Junior Brother Qin Fei.

As for his birthday, she merely brushed it off or didn’t come to celebrate with him at all.

Today was Qin Fei’s birthday.

Xiao Yang withdrew his gaze from the rising sun.

Jiang Ting and them believed Qin Fei had a blood curse, that there was no remedy and he wouldn’t live long.

So, in their eyes, this was Qin Fei’s last birthday.

Only Xiao Yang knew how despicable and sinister Qin Fei was.

To fake his illness, he even lifted the blood curse from himself.

Xiao Yang knew Qin Fei had methods to deal with the blood curse.

Because the Demon Sect had the Wan Ling Dan.

Qin Fei was the Demon Sect’s young lord; getting a Wan Ling Dan was definitely not a challenge for him.

Qin Fei definitely had more sinister intentions.

But today, he would make sure Qin Fei couldn’t even cry.

Xiao Yang smirked.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

With a wave of his hand, the door swung open.

A young woman stood at the entrance.

She was a waitress from Carefree Inn.

“Guest, I have an invitation for you!” she said.

Xiao Yang reached out in midair to grab the invitation from her hand.

The invitation flew straight into his grasp.

The young woman then closed the door behind her as she left.

Xiao Yang looked down at the invitation in his hand.

Sure enough.

Little Junior Sister Jiang Ting was really going to hold a birthday banquet for Qin Fei.

And it would be held at the City Lord’s Mansion.

The invitation in his hand was sent by Little Junior Sister Jiang Ting herself.

“Humph!”

Xiao Yang couldn’t help but sneer.

Qin Fei’s birthday banquet, and they send ME an invitation?

Is this supposed to gross me out?

No need to think; this was definitely Qin Fei’s doing.

If Qin Fei is provoking him like this, he can’t not deliver a grand gift back!

Xiao Yang pocketed the invitation.

At that moment, there was another knock on the door.

“Big Brother Sect Holy Son, are you in there?”

It was Lin Wangchuan’s voice from outside.

Xiao Yang waved his hand, and the door opened again.

Lin Wangchuan and Song Qiang stood outside.

“Wow, Big Brother Sect Holy Son, your place is way better than ours!” Lin Wangchuan exclaimed, stepping in.

This was the top-tier guest room of Carefree Inn.

The entire room was set up with a small gathering spirit array.

All the furniture in the room was made from spiritual materials.

The tables and chairs were crafted from spiritual wood.

And the large bed in the main chamber was made entirely of a complete Spiritual Jade Bed.

The room gathered spiritual energy.

For ordinary cultivators staying here and practicing, it would be incredibly beneficial.

But for someone of Xiao Yang’s level, this amount of spiritual energy was hardly enough to satisfy him.

However, not just anyone could afford the top-tier guest room at Carefree Inn.

Staying one night in this top-tier room cost ten top-notch spirit stones.

Top-notch spirit stones, mind you.

That’s not something just any cultivator can shell out!

“Big Brother Sect Holy Son, maybe I should stay here with you.”

Lin Wangchuan suggested with a grin.

“What do you want with me?” Xiao Yang asked, glancing at Lin Wangchuan.

“Little Junior Sister is throwing a birthday party for Qin Fei tonight,” Song Qiang said with an annoyed expression.

“She’s been doing that every year for him; what’s so strange about it?” Xiao Yang replied dismissively.

“Look, the invitation was sent here.”

He then took out the invitation and tossed it onto the table.

“He even sent you an invitation?” Lin Wangchuan and Song Qiang were both dumbfounded.

What was Qin Fei up to?

“Things don’t seem that simple!” Song Qiang voiced his concern.

“Who cares? We’ll deal with it when it comes,” Xiao Yang said indifferently.

From Lin Wangchuan and Song Qiang, he learned that Jiang Ting was organizing a birthday banquet for Qin Fei.

He guessed correctly; Jiang Ting thought Qin Fei was dying and wanted to hold a grand birthday celebration for him.

Therefore, she even chose Nine Heavens City’s City Lord Mansion as the venue for the banquet.

Xiao Yang really didn’t expect Jiang Ting would go to such lengths for Qin Fei.

Good, the more people attend this banquet, the more fun it will be.

Qin Fei, just wait! Tonight, I’m going to gift you something special!
