Chang Shenghong had been waiting for this day to slap him in the face!
He had been waiting for this day ever since Chu Yunfan had taught him a harsh lesson.
Chu Yunfan had defeated him so easily, which made him understand that his strength was incomparable to Chu Yunfan's.
It was impossible for him to defeat Chu Yunfan for revenge. This was his only chance to slap Chu Yunfan in the face.
There was no way he could make a mistake. After all, Chu Yunfan was only a poor brat. Before he became a candidate for the heir, he had only been an ordinary clansman in the Chu clan.
How could he have any savings? Compared to an ordinary person's birthday gift, it was probably insufficient, let alone a super gift like this.
After saying this, Chang Shenghong looked at Chu Yunfan with a smug expression, as if he could see Chu Yunfan making a fool of himself in the next second!
"Chang Shenghong, what are you so pleased about? This is a gift from your Duke Ning Residence, not something you prepared yourself. What is there to be pleased about?"
Chu Hongcai couldn't hold himself back any longer.
Chu Yaowei's expression had already darkened. He had thought that Chang Shenghong had learned his lesson after the previous blow, but that wasn't the case at all. He still wanted to stir up trouble.
If it was any other time, he would have turned a blind eye to it. However, today was his mother's birthday, and it was her 150th birthday.
Chang Shenghong's plan to stir up trouble now was equivalent to slapping his face in front of everyone. Wasn't he trying to humiliate the Chu clan?
The benevolent smile on the Matriarch's face disappeared. She was no fool. She naturally understood what Chang Shenghong was thinking.
He wanted to use the matter of her birthday gift to thoroughly humiliate Chu Yunfan.
She had thought that Chang Shenghong would change his mind after being taught a lesson, but she now realized that she had overestimated him.
Face was the most important thing in her life, yet Chang Shenghong wanted to strip her of it. How could she be happy about this?
Just as she was burning with anger, suddenly, at this moment, a voice came from outside to report.
"The Alchemist Society's Dragon City branch president, Kong Buyi, has arrived!"
The announcement shocked everyone, especially Chu Yaowei, who stood up from his seat.
Today was the Chu clan's matriarch's birthday celebration. Most of the guests were either relatives of the Chu clan or vassals who had business dealings with the Chu clan.
As for the other big families, they basically just sent representatives over and gave gifts. After all, it was the birthday of the Old Lady, not Chu Yaowei, and they did not have that much face.
As for the chairman of the Cong Long City branch of the Alchemists Association, he was in charge of the entire Alchemists Association. In terms of status, he was unique in the entire Cong Long City. Compared to Chu Yaowei, he could only be higher.
If the Alchemist Guild had only sent an Elder to congratulate him, then that would have already been considered as giving him a lot of face. However, now that Kong Buyi had personally come, everyone was stunned.
Wasn't this giving him too much face?
Chu Yaowei quickly stood up and said, "Please come in, please come in!"
He didn't dare to be arrogant in front of Kong Buyi, so he quickly said.
Soon, Kong Buyi's silhouette appeared in front of everyone.
"The Chu clan is greatly honored that President Kong has come in person!" Chu Yaowei stepped forward and said. Chu Yaowei certainly wanted to make friends with a person like Kong Buyi, but Kong Buyi had always been lukewarm towards him.
There were many Marquis like him in the entire Cong Long City, but there was only one Alchemist Guild president like Kong Buyi. Naturally, the two of them couldn't be mentioned in the same breath!
"It's nothing, I just returned from the Imperial City today. I heard that the Old Lady is celebrating her birthday, so I didn't prepare anything. I only prepared this, please don't take offense!"
Kong Buyi quickly said. He took out a jade box from his bosom and opened it. Inside the jade box was a bottle of pills.
"This is a Hundred Grass Soul Restoring Pill that I personally refined. It's quite effective in treating mental injuries," Kong Buyi said. "I came here in a hurry, so this is the only thing I can offer!"
Kong Buyi had just finished speaking when everyone gasped. All of them were knowledgeable people. So, they had naturally heard of Kong Buyi's exclusive Hundred Grass Soul Restoring Pill. It could be said that it was something that couldn't be bought with a thousand pieces of gold.
Because physical injuries were nothing to Transcendent Realm experts. Even a severed arm or leg could be automatically reattached, and it wouldn't take long for them to recover.
Only mental injuries were very difficult to recover from even a slight injury. So, everyone felt that it was the most troublesome.
Moreover, this Hundred Grass Soul Restoring Pill targeted mental injuries. Transcendent Realm experts might not be able to get a single Hundred Grass Soul Restoring Pill even if they spent a thousand pieces of gold.
But now, Kong Buyi had actually taken out a bottle of Hundred Grass Soul Restoring Pill as a gift.
How was this a mere gift that Kong Buyi had mentioned? Just this bottle of Hundred Grass Soul Restoring Pill was worth more than a million low-grade spirit stones.
It could even be said that to some extent, it was even more valuable than the birthday gift that Duke Ning Mansion had presented previously. After all, the birthday gift that Duke Ning Mansion had presented was just property, but this was something that many people couldn't buy with money. It could be an elixir that could save one's life at a critical moment.
Moreover, the Old Mistress was from Duke Ning Mansion. It was normal for Duke Ning Mansion to be generous at this time. But Kong Buyi didn't have any friendship with Marquis Zhongxin Mansion. Yet, he was willing to spend so much at this time.
This was the most inconceivable part to everyone. What was he planning?
"A mere gift. I hope the Old Mistress won't take offense!"
Kong Buyi said.
"President Kong, this is too valuable!"
Chu Yaowei quickly said. He could accept the gift from Duke Ning Mansion because both parties were relatives. The situation was completely different.
But he didn't have any friendship with Kong Buyi. If he accepted it, he would owe too much.
"That's right. Today is only my birthday. President Kong is a bit too grand!"
The Old Mistress said. She was still very clear about the situation.
"Marquis and Old Mistress are too polite. This is just a mere gift. I'm very happy that the two of you don't take offense!"
Kong Buyi quickly said at this time. Suddenly, he turned to look at Chu Yunfan and said.
"Young friend Chu, don't just stand there. Come out and say something!"
Kong Buyi's words made everyone a little confused. What did this matter have to do with Chu Yunfan?
