In a sense, neglecting this birthday banquet was equivalent to neglecting the Shangguan First Young Miss, and neglecting the Shangguan First Young Miss was equivalent to neglecting the Soaring Sky Pavilion's Pavilion Master, Shangguan Tianhua. The dangers involved were not something that could be described clearly with just a few words.
"Chong-er, you did well today. In the future, when the Xu family is in your hands, I can be a little more at ease." In the process of presenting the gift, Xu Yuanzheng deliberately got up and walked to the side, nodding approvingly at his grandson.
In his view, although Xu Lingchong's little tricks were still considered immature, as long as he had this awareness, he would not be too far away from supporting the future of the Xu family.
"Thank you for your praise, grandfather. I will definitely continue to work hard to protect the future of the Xu family." Xu Lingchong was immediately overjoyed by the praise.
Taking over the Xu family had always been his long-cherished wish. Today, he was able to obtain the approval of his grandfather, Xu Yuanzheng, which proved that he was a big step closer to this goal.
Xu Yuanzheng laughed happily and said, "However, Chong-er, you must firmly remember that schemes and schemes are only a small way. If you want to take charge of big things, you must grasp the key people. Otherwise, no matter how hard you work, it will be in vain."
After saying that, the old man pointed at Laner, who was intimately snuggling up to Shangguan Tianhua.
Xu Lingchong nodded and clenched his fists meaningfully. "Grandfather, don't worry. She will definitely not escape from the palm of your grandson's hand. Definitely not!"
"It's great that you have this confidence. Don't let grandfather down." Xu Yuanzheng patted him on the shoulder and turned back to the main seat.
Xu Lingchong took a deep breath. When he looked at Laner in the distance again, there was a hint of coldness and cruelty in his eyes.
If it was before today. If Laner still had a goddess-like position in his heart, then after what had happened just now, this goddess had quickly degraded into a slut who could be used by anyone. And if it was just to deal with such a slut, there was naturally no need to be too polite.
At this time. The gift-giving session was coming to an end. Kang Ming Ming said eagerly, "Young Master Xu, can I take out my gift now?"
Xu Lingchong nodded slightly. This was the plan that he had discussed with Kang Ming Ming in advance. He immediately came forward and introduced on her behalf, "Dear elders and friends, next is to present the birthday gift to Junior Sister Lan 'er. He is the new deacon from our Welcome Pavilion, Kang Ming Ming! "
Kang Ming Ming quickly raised his head and puffed out his chest, pretending to be calm as he slowly opened the wooden box in his hand. There was an elixir carefully placed inside.
Everyone present couldn't help but discuss spiritedly. For a newcomer to appear in the Welcoming Pavilion to appear here was already a piece of news that was neither big nor small. Moreover, this newcomer had taken out a pretty good gift, a high-grade Foundation Building Pill!
"This Junior Brother Kang, after hearing that he was fortunate to be able to attend Junior Sister Lan 'er's birthday party, under my help and supervision, he finally refined this high-grade Foundation Building Pill by himself for ten days and ten nights. It will be a birthday gift to Junior Sister Lan 'er. "Xu Lingchong spoke frankly with assurance, personally fighting for Kang Ming Ming's reputation.
When everyone heard this, they obviously paid more attention to Kang Ming Ming.
A mere newcomer from the Welcome Pavilion naturally wouldn't be able to enter their eyes. But if this newcomer was an Alchemist and could personally refine a high quality Foundation Building Pill, then his value would be huge!
One should know that even in the Alchemy Hall where alchemists gathered. There were not many alchemists who could refine Foundation Building Pill, and those with high quality could be counted on one's fingers.
Looking at it from this point of view. This new alchemist named Kang Zhaoming could almost jump into the ranks of the elite alchemists with his skills alone!
Even Lin Yi, who knew Kang Ming Ming very well, was quite surprised at this moment. At this moment, he could not help but be surprised. If what Xu Lingchong said was true, then he had really underestimated this guy in the past. With his current strength at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, being able to concoct a high quality Foundation Establishment Pill meant that this guy had some talent in the field of alchemy.
Everyone present was extraordinary. This feeling of being appreciated by everyone simply made Kang Ming Ming feel like he was walking on air. He was so happy that he almost couldn't extricate himself.
However, he still remembered the instructions given to him by Xu Lingchong in advance. He immediately stood up and bowed, "Young Master Xu is overpraising me. As a newcomer in the Soaring Sky Pavilion, I'm doing my best for Miss Shangguan. This is all within my duty and I don't deserve such praise."
These words of Kang Ming Ming could be said to be humble and appropriate. It made all the big shots present praise him incessantly. They secretly thought that if this guy was trained in the future, he might be able to achieve great things.
After gaining enough limelight, Kang Ming Ming suddenly changed the topic and turned to Lin Yi's direction, "Newcomer Lin, the newcomer of the Welcoming Pavilion is here today. You and I, it's rare for us to have the opportunity to attend Miss Shangguan's birthday banquet. You should also show your appreciation. I know that you've always been amazing. Today, you can't embarrass our Welcoming Pavilion. Why don't you take out any gifts to let everyone have a good look?"
The people present were all smart people. The intention revealed by Kang Ming Ming's words fell into their eyes. They immediately revealed a look of watching a good show. Anyway, it had nothing to do with them. No matter who was embarrassed, it was none of their business.
However, Lin Yi shook his head lightly, "I'm sorry, I've already given my gift to Miss Shangguan in private."
Kang Ming Ming was slightly stunned. Xu Lingchong, who was next to him, chuckled and said, "You gave it to Junior Sister Lan 'er in private? Everyone present gave gifts together. You're just a newcomer, why do you have to be special? I heard that you're an alchemist like Junior Brother Kang. What gift did you give? Why not take it out and let everyone evaluate it? After all, there's competition to improve! "
Xu Lingchong's dignified words immediately forced Lin Yi into a corner where he couldn't refuse. Everyone's eyes then shifted to Shanghai Laner.
Shanghai Laner secretly thought that something was wrong. Because she was interrupted by the Little Curly Bear just now, she hadn't opened the gift in the spiritual jade box.
But even so, she could guess that with Lin Yi's humble background as a new disciple of Clear Cloud Pavilion, it was basically impossible for him to give a gift better than a high grade Foundation Building Pellet. If he agreed just like that, then this Little Junior Brother of hers would lose out to that annoying subordinate of his.
