Chapter 160: Junior Brother, I Have a Grand Gift for You

Tang Chen arrived.

When he saw Xiao Yang blocked outside the City Lord’s Mansion by the guards, he instantly burst into laughter.

Xiao Yang, upon seeing Tang Chen, wore an expression of indifference.

“Xiao Brother, can’t get in? How about this—if you beg me, I’ll take you inside.”

Tang Chen looked at Xiao Yang with a smug grin.

“Do you believe someone will come to invite me in shortly?”

Xiao Yang chuckled at Tang Chen’s antics.

“Ha ha… Xiao Brother, are you joking? Tonight’s banquet is held by the daughter of the Qingyang Sword Sect’s Sect Leader for her little Junior Brother, Qin Fei. From what I know, your relationship with this little Junior Brother isn’t all that great.”

Tang Chen sneered.

Xiao Yang was about to speak when—

“I say, Tang Chen, do you think I’m invisible?”

At that moment, the chubby Luo Feng chimed in, clearly irritated.

“Brother, I’ll take you in.”

Luo Feng said to Xiao Yang.

“Fatty Luo, are you trying to go against me?” Tang Chen shot a fierce glare at Luo Feng.

“I just can’t stand you, so what?” Luo Feng returned the glare.

Xiao Yang observed the two, realizing there seemed to be some history there!

“How outrageous! You, a useless Luo family member, dare to act tough in front of me?” Tang Chen fumed.

“Who are you calling useless?” Luo Feng was even angrier.

“I’m saying you’re useless! What’s your problem?” Tang Chen remarked disdainfully.

“This is unacceptable!” Luo Feng was ready to throw a punch.

“Oh, you want to throw hands with me?” Tang Chen chuckled.

Xiao Yang stood aside, enjoying the show.

The two guards panicked.

One was the eldest son of the Luo family and the other the Senior Brother of the Heavenly Medical Sect; who would dare to offend either of them?

If these two started fighting, what would happen to them?

“Senior Brother, why haven’t you come in yet?”

At that moment, a voice called out from inside the City Lord’s Mansion.

A person stepped out confidently.

Xiao Yang looked up and saw it was Ye Qingyao.

“Senior Brother?” The two guards were taken aback.

They recognized Ye Qingyao, a personal disciple of the Qingyang Sword Sect.

Her Senior Brother, isn’t that the elusive Xiao Yang?

Xiao Yang’s name had already spread throughout Nine Heavens City.

The story about this Senior Brother of the Qingyang Sword Sect receiving an incredible opportunity had circulated widely.

Recently, countless martial artists had been discussing Xiao Yang’s good fortune over tea and meals.

The guards nearly buckled at the knees.

They had just offended someone they couldn’t afford to mess with at all.

“Do I still need an invitation? Can I go in now?” Xiao Yang glared at the two guards.

“Ha ha… esteemed guest, you’re joking, right…”

“Please come in!” The two guards were frantic.

Who would have thought this plainly dressed youth was the recently renowned Xiao Yang?

“Actually, I have an invitation.”

As Xiao Yang spoke, he made a flourish with his right hand, and an invitation appeared.

“…”

The two guards were even more anxious.

Xiao Yang slapped the invitation on one of the guards’ faces.

“Remember this: never look down on people, regardless of the situation.”

With that, Xiao Yang strode confidently into the City Lord’s Mansion.

“Yes, yes!”

The two guards nodded and bowed deferentially.

“Senior Brother, the little junior sister was worried you wouldn’t come, so she specifically asked me to come out and look for you. I didn’t expect you to be just outside the door,” Ye Qingyao said.

“This…”

Tang Chen was dumbfounded—someone really did come out to invite Xiao Yang!

Wait, isn’t tonight the birthday banquet for Qin Fei?

Aren’t Xiao Yang and Qin Fei on bad terms?

What was going on?

“You’re Xiao Yang? I thought you were some mythical figure with three heads and six arms,” Luo Feng said as he caught up.

Although Tang Chen was not pleased, he also walked into the City Lord’s Mansion.

Once inside, they headed straight for the banquet hall.

As Xiao Yang entered the banquet hall, his gaze fell directly on Qin Fei.

At that moment, Qin Fei noticed Xiao Yang too.

He looked at Xiao Yang with a challenging glare.

“Senior Brother…”

Little Junior Sister Jiang Ting rushed over, blocking Qin Fei protectively.

“Senior Brother, while it’s the little Junior Brother’s birthday, how about the three of us have a good talk!” Little Junior Sister Jiang Ting urged, her expression serious as she looked at Xiao Yang.

“What are we talking about? What is there to chat about?” Xiao Yang said dismissively.

“Senior Brother, that’s a bit unkind. Do you really want to keep misunderstanding the little Junior Brother? Do you want to keep misunderstanding me?” Jiang Ting retorted angrily.

At this point, people started to notice something was off.

Numerous onlookers gathered.

The banquet hall was filled with prominent figures of Nine Heavens City.

There were elegantly dressed ladies and rebellious young lords among them.

Surprisingly, Jiang Ting had indeed invited many influential people to the birthday banquet.

“There’s no misunderstanding!” Xiao Yang replied coolly.

“Little Junior Brother, congratulations! Happy birthday!” Xiao Yang’s gaze moved past Jiang Ting to Qin Fei, and he smiled.

“Senior Brother, I’m nearly done for; can’t you just forgive me?” Qin Fei said weakly.

“Then you tell me what I should forgive you for,” Xiao Yang said with a sidelong glance at Qin Fei.

“Uh…” Qin Fei was taken aback.

“Come on, stop pretending; it’s boring!” Xiao Yang sighed.

Qin Fei always resorted to the same old tricks.

Either feigning pity or playing the victim.

And little Junior Sister surprisingly believed it.

“Senior Brother, don’t make things difficult for the little Junior Brother. He’s close to death!” Jiang Ting said, tears welling up.

Everyone was well aware of Qin Fei’s predicament.

His complexion darkened, knowing he had the blood curse and wouldn’t last long.

The crowd fell silent.

Qin Fei was the Innate Dao Body of the Qingyang Sword Sect, the chosen child.

Who would expect this prodigy was nearing death?

Jiang Ting, the daughter of the sect leader, threw this lavish birthday banquet for him because of it.

“What do I care if he lives or dies?” Xiao Yang replied nonchalantly.

“Senior Brother, you’re too heartless.”

Jiang Ting fumed upon hearing that.

“Right, little Junior Brother, you should have received quite a few birthday gifts today,” Xiao Yang suddenly asked.

“Yeah, I did receive several, but among all the gifts, little Junior Sister’s gift is the most precious,” Qin Fei replied, taking out a small box from his robe.

He opened the box, revealing a pill inside.

“Dragon Transformation Pill?”

Xiao Yang’s expression changed dramatically.

That was the precious elixir he had searched high and low for to help Jiang Ting enhance her cultivation back then.

Little Junior Sister actually gave this pill as a birthday gift to Qin Fei?

“It really is the Dragon Transformation Pill!” a disciple from the Dan Ding Sect gasped.

“An elixir that can enhance cultivation?” Someone exclaimed.

Qin Fei looked smugly at Xiao Yang.

What’s the use of childhood friendship if it can’t compare to my divine fortune?

“Little Junior Brother, don’t misunderstand…” Jiang Ting hurriedly interjected.

“Junior Brother, I also prepared a grand gift for you. Guess what it is?”

As Xiao Yang spoke, he pulled out three wooden boxes.

“What is this…” Qin Fei looked confused.

Everyone curiously stared at the three wooden boxes, eager to know what was inside.

Xiao Yang looked at Qin Fei, a smile forming on his lips, and slowly opened the wooden boxes.
