Ning Shangling glanced at the audience with a smile, and then led Ning Xuefei and the others to the main seat in the center. There were five elegant phoenix chairs of different sizes. Ning Shangling sat in the middle, Yan Xinlan, the Deputy Island Master, sat on her right, and Ning Xuefei on her left. Shanghai Laner and Han Jingjing also had their own special seats.
The host had already taken her seat, which meant that the birthday banquet had officially begun. At this moment, all the big shots from the five heaven-rank islands finally showed up one after another, and came to offer gifts to celebrate the birthday.
What Lin Yi didn't expect was that among these people, he actually found a few acquaintances!
The first to appear was a big shot from Middle Island. He wasn't an ordinary sect, but the dignified Deputy Island Master of Middle Island. However, it wasn't The Will of Heaven, but Chu Wentian.
Lin Yi wasn't familiar with this person, and had only met him once. It was said that he had a good relationship with The Will of Heaven. Of course, this relationship was just good, and it was far from the point of advancing and retreating together.
With Chu Wentian's identity, he came to congratulate West Island. After all, this was only Ning Xuefei's birthday banquet, not the birthday banquet of Ning Shangling, the Island Master of West Island. Middle Island specially sent such a Deputy Island Master, and it was obvious that they wanted to express their goodwill.
Chu Wentian presented a sincere gift, and after exchanging a few words with Ning Shangling in public, he went to the VIP area of Middle Island and sat down. After him, the big shots from East Continent came in.
Of course, the mysterious and vast East Continent didn't have an Island Master, and it was impossible for them to send a big shot with the same status as Chu Wentian. After all, it wouldn't be a surprise, but a shock. East Continent's status had always been extremely aloof, and it had never established diplomatic relations with the other heaven-rank islands.
The guest from the Eastern Continent this time was the Eastern Continent's Morning Pride Golden Female Academy's Deputy Dean, Liu Ziyu. From the name, it was obvious that it was similar to the Morning Star Academy he had seen before. After all, they were both Golden Rank Academies, but the difference was that this was a female academy. As the name implied, it only accepted females, and was similar to those female academies in the secular world.
Although the Dean and Vice Dean of any academy in the Eastern Continent couldn't be said to have monstrous power and influence in the Eastern Continent, if they came out from the other Heaven-Stage Islands, they would be major characters equivalent to Vice Island Masters. The reverence that everyone present showed towards this Vice Dean Liu Ziyu was not the slightest bit inferior to Chu Wentian.
Liu Ziyu had also given her a great gift. She seemed to have quite a good personal relationship with Ning Shangling. This could be seen from the way the two of them spoke. It was no wonder that she would specially rush over from so far away to attend Ning Xuefei's birthday banquet.
Lin Yi even speculated that Ning Xuefei would very likely go to the Eastern Continent's Morning Pride Golden Female Academy to further her studies in the future. This was an unwritten rule among almost all the major factions on the various Heaven-Stage Islands. Core disciples, especially successors, had to have the qualifications to study in the Eastern Continent's Island Master.
This was not only for the sake of increasing one's strength, but also to broaden one's horizons. More importantly, it was to use this opportunity to rope in the major characters of the Eastern Continent. Even if they couldn't become allies, they definitely couldn't become enemies. Otherwise, Ning Xuefei might not be able to sit firmly on the position of West Island Master in the future.
Chu Wentian represented the Middle Island, while Liu Ziyu represented the Eastern Continent. After these two major characters, the one who came with the congratulatory gift was the representative of the Southern Continent. After clearly seeing who it was, Lin Yi was instantly surprised and delighted.
Compared to the two before him, this representative from the Southern Continent was really not considered a major character. Many people only glanced at him and didn't pay him any attention. However, Lin Yi was different, because this was an old acquaintance of his!
"Qi Wenhan, the young master of the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency, represents the Southern Continent's Escort Agency Alliance to congratulate Miss Ning on her birthday!" Qi Wenhan strode forward with his head held high, and presented his gift in a loud and clear voice.
Seeing this, Lin Yi couldn't help but feel a little excited. He really didn't expect the representative of the Southern Continent to be Qi Wenhan. However, when he thought about it, although this was unexpected, it was also reasonable. The Southern Continent's Escort Agency Alliance was the representative of the Southern Continent's Sea Region, and the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency was now the overlord of the Southern Continent's escort agencies. It could be said that it was reasonable for him to represent the Southern Continent.
This time, it wasn't Qi Zhiyuan who came, but Qi Wenhan. The other meaning behind this was probably to take this opportunity to let Qi Wenhan build more connections, so that it would be convenient for him to take over the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency in the future.
Lin Yi looked at Qi Wenhan from afar. Of course, when old friends met, they should get together and have a good chat. However, his current seat was a little far, and the guest areas of the north island and the Southern Continent weren't next to each other, so Qi Wenhan couldn't see him at all. He had to find a chance later to catch up.
After Qi Wenhan took his seat, the next person to present his gift was Lan Tiefu. As a disciple of the Shanghai Tianhua of the Soaring Sky Pavilion, he presented Ning Xuefei an expensive gift on behalf of the north island.
Although the official special envoy of the north island this time was Lin Yi, his status was obviously not enough. After all, all the people who came this time were big shots. Even Qi Wenhan had the chance to take over the Southern Continent's escort agency in the future. On the north island's side, only Lan Tiefu or Ram Jie could come forward to control the situation.
This time, it was Lan Tiefu who came forward, which meant that Ram Jie had no interest in this kind of thing. With his aloof personality, he really didn't like this kind of work. Moreover, the two of them were ordered to protect Shanghai Laner in secret. Now that Lan Tiefu showed up in public, Ram Jie couldn't show up even more.
After Lan Tiefu, the guests from the Central Island, the East Island, the South Island, and the north island had taken their seats one after another. Everyone turned their eyes to the door, whispering to each other. At this time, only the south island was left. They didn't know which spirit beast clan, which had never contacted the outside world, would send a gift to the princess of West Island this time.
Under the gaze of tens of thousands of people, the atmosphere was slightly stagnant for a moment. Suddenly, at the door, a figure strode in with majestic gait, looking around and flying. In an instant, he became the focus of the whole audience. Even the protagonists like Ning Shangling and Ning Xuefei were overshadowed by him. Everyone couldn't help but think of one word in their hearts, "Who is this master of the spirit beast clan?"
The Spiritual Beast Clan had never had any contact with the outside world, so there were only a few high-ranking members that the world was familiar with. However, the person who had appeared this time was an extremely unfamiliar face to everyone. Everyone discussed spiritedly, who was this expert from the Spiritual Beast Clan?
"He can't be just an ordinary minion, right? Isn't that a public provocation?" "Even as powerful as the spirit beast clan, they may not have the guts to casually provoke West Island, right?"
While people were still talking, Lin Yi couldn't help but feel nervous when he saw this figure. Others didn't know this guy, but Lin Yi had seen him once when he accidentally broke into the Spirit Beast Conference, and he definitely had a deep impression of him. This master who represented the spirit beast clan of south island was actually … the new Azure Dragon!!!
