It left as quickly as it came.
It was truly a mysterious dragon whose tail was nowhere to be seen.
But in this short span of less than a minute, it was no less than bringing an earthquake to the entire banquet hall!
"I really made the right choice coming this time!"
That was everyone's first reaction.
"It seems like the gift to the Ling Family today was still too light!"
That was the second thought that popped up in most people's minds. Then, they were filled with regret.
Frankly speaking, at least half of the people in the banquet hall had heard about the commotion caused by Ling Yun last night and decided to come at the last minute.
Naturally, there were fence-sitters among them. Most of them wanted to take the opportunity to curry favor with the Ling Family. Even if they couldn't get close to them, they could at least be familiar with them.
However, no matter what, there was absolutely no one who came with the intention of watching the Ling Family's show!
At this moment, there were all kinds of thoughts, but no one dared to speak. The shock was too great.
Among the guests in the banquet hall, not many could compare to Zhou Wenyi, Ye Qingfeng, Cao Junxiong, and Li Guanping in terms of status. However, without exception, they had all weighed their status repeatedly before daring to come. They were definitely the cream of the crop in all industries in Huaxia.
Among these people, there was no fool.
What did it mean for Zhao Xingwu to come personally? They would only think about the bigger picture and not the smaller picture.
The banquet hall was so quiet that even a pin drop could be heard.
Ling Yun didn't send Zhao Xingwu away. He knew that there was no need. The other party didn't want to cause any commotion.
At this moment, he held the calligraphy in one hand and pondered whether he should open it in front of everyone.
Ling Yun couldn't make up his mind. He could only look at the few people in the front row, trying to figure out their intentions.
Cao Junxiong gently nodded with a smile.
Li Guanping nodded slightly as well.
Zhou Wenyi decided to use telepathy. "Brat, if you don't open it now, when are you going to wait? You won't get another chance like this if you miss this opportunity! "
Finally, Ling Yun looked at Ling Yue.
"Just open it and let everyone take a look." Ling Yue smiled.
Without hesitation, Ling Yun shook his hand lightly!
The one-meter-wide scroll suddenly left his palm and floated towards the center of the stage. Then, it stood vertically in the air and the scroll slowly unrolled from left to right!
"Great … Roc … Spreads … Wings!"
As the calligraphy slowly appeared in front of the crowd, many people naturally began to read it word by word.
Everyone was dumbfounded!
It wasn't only because the words were powerful and majestic, but also because of Ling Yun's unintentional performance!
However, when they saw the signature below the four words, they immediately chose to shut up and not say a word.
This was the so-called feeling of being proud and elated.
"Good writing!"
Ling Yun exclaimed in admiration. He raised his hand and waved again. The treasured calligraphy slowly merged and flew back into his hand. He immediately put it into the Taixu Ring and it disappeared.
"Good words, good words, majestic!"
"What an extraordinary meaning!"
"The Ling Family definitely deserves it!"
"…"
After Ling Yun spoke, voices of agreement immediately rang out from all directions in the banquet hall.
Everyone in the Ling Family was excited. To be able to receive such treatment for the birthday of the only person in the family, they had nothing more to ask for!
In the whole of Huaxia, how many people could do this?
At this moment, Li Junhua suddenly rushed over to Ling Yue's side and lowered his head to exchange a few words with him.
Ling Yue nodded and stood up. He smiled and said to Ling Yun, "Yun Er, just now your Uncle Li said that the private rooms have been prepared. Should we invite everyone to a different place?"
This was the Ling Family's grand banquet, not some company's annual party. When the guests arrived, they would temporarily gather in the banquet hall to listen to the host's speech. This was just a necessary procedure.
However, to let so many top-notch people eat in the same banquet hall, no matter how good the food was and how powerful the Ling Family was, they would still feel uncomfortable.
This was not the way to treat guests.
Therefore, Li Junhua had already made arrangements. However, since Ling Yun had spoken, it was inevitable that Ling Xiao would go on stage in front of everyone.
Furthermore, the Ling Family didn't send out invitations or do any publicity, so they had no idea who would come. They could only wait for the guests to report their identity before they could arrange a private room. To be able to allocate thousands of people to the appropriate private rooms in such a short period of time was already not an easy feat.
As for the hundred private rooms, it was a piece of cake for the Pangu Seven Stars Hotel.
This time, it was Ling Yue's turn to go on stage. With a radiant smile, he cupped his fists towards the audience. "Hello everyone, I am Ling Yue. First of all, I would like to thank everyone for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend my brother's birthday banquet. However, before today, the Ling Family didn't send out invitations and didn't know that so many people would come to support us. Please forgive us for our lack of hospitality."
Ling Yue's words were naturally seamless and watertight.
"However, everyone here today can be said to be from all walks of life. It's really inappropriate for so many of you to eat in the banquet hall. It's also not in line with the Ling Family's hospitality.
"Fortunately, it's only 12: 30 now. It's not too late. Distinguished guests, please move to your private rooms. We won't go home until we're drunk."
Before Ling Yue could finish his sentence, he heard people cheering him on.
At the same time, many attendants entered the banquet hall and started to distribute the guests.
Just as Ling Yue walked off the stage and the guests started to stand up, Ling Yun suddenly had a thought. Then, he revealed a cold smile and spoke loudly.
"Everyone, please return to your seats and wait for a while. The Ling Family will have another guest arriving soon."
Who dared to go against Ling Yun's words?
Therefore, everyone returned to their seats and sat down, eagerly waiting for the guest to arrive.
"Oh? There's still a guest coming at this time? "
"Of course, didn't you see who just arrived? It's normal for a few important people to be delayed for such a big event!"
"Actually, it's not too late. The banquet hasn't started yet …"
"Let's see who it is first."
Everyone could guess that it had to be someone extremely important for Ling Yun to delay the banquet. Therefore, everyone was discussing the identity of the guest.
However, very few people knew that the guest who had come this time was definitely not here to congratulate Ling Xiao on his birthday even though his status was extraordinary.
"Long Haoran, you're here after all."
Ye Qingxin also sensed it, and she smiled lightly.
"It's going to be lively!"
After Zhao Xingwu left, Zhou Wenyi didn't move from his seat at all. He couldn't help but speak when he sensed Long Haoran's arrival.
"Hehe, I'm really looking forward to it!"
Ye Qingfeng was the one who had lost the most face today after being scolded by Ling Yun. Now that someone who was in the same boat as him had finally arrived, he naturally had to find some balance.
"Long Haoran, Long Tianxing is here. Do you want to make a bet?"
Ye Tianshui asked Ye Tiandu, who was beside him, with a smile.
"What are we betting on?" Ye Tiandu asked lazily.
"Betting on whether Ling Yun will make Long Haoran stay for dinner."
Ye Tiandu thought about it and felt that he wasn't confident, so he rolled his eyes. "Aren't you bored? Only a ghost would bet with you!"
He rejected it directly!
"I bet he will!" Ye Tianshui said confidently.
"Why?"
"Think about it, Ling Yun's announcement just now was so imposing. If the Long Family really doesn't come, it means that they aren't giving face to the Ling Family. According to Ling Yun's temper, the two families will start fighting at any time. However, the Long Family is here now, and it's Long Haoran himself. As the saying goes, one doesn't give gifts. Can Ling Yun chase him away in public? "
This brat was too evil. He had purposely said the most obvious thing. In fact, what he was really betting on was that other than Ling Yun, the other core members of the Ling Family would definitely make Long Haoran stay for dinner and stop Ling Yun from messing around.
"I'm afraid not."
Ye Tiandu glanced at Ling Yun and raised his chin. "That guy doesn't look friendly."
At this time, Long Haoran and the rest had already gotten out of the car and entered the hotel lobby.
Ye Tianshui was very anxious. "Are you betting or not?"
"What are we betting on?"
"Your spatial ring."
"Scram!"
Ye Tiandu thought to himself, What does it have to do with me whether he wants to eat it or not? There's no way he can get his hands on my spatial ring!
Of course, Ling Yun had never seen Long Haoran before. However, he had already read about him and knew Long Tianxing. Therefore, when Long Haoran entered the range of his divine sense, he knew that he couldn't be wrong.
Long Haoran and Long Tianxing weren't very important to Ling Yun. What was important was the person they brought!
Long Wu's father, Long Kun!
"Uncle Kun, long time no see!"
Ling Yun was excited. Long Kun had disappeared from Qingshui City for a few months, and he finally appeared today. Moreover, his complexion seemed fine. Obviously, he didn't suffer much in the Long Family. This made Ling Yun feel a little more at ease, and his expression became more relaxed.
However, there was still no trace of Long Wu.
Ling Yun made up his mind. This time, even if he had to fight with Long Haoran, he had to find out Long Wu's whereabouts!
Long Haoran had already reached the second floor. Under the guidance of the receptionist, he walked slowly towards the banquet hall. His posture was carefree, and his steps were steady.
Although Long Tianxing was trying his best to control himself, his expression became more and more serious.
Only Long Kun, although he remained silent, revealed a trace of excitement and anticipation in his eyes.
There were many people following behind the three of them. However, they weren't from the Long Family, but Ling Yun's seventy-two disciples.
Especially Lv Wenlong, Luo Yucheng, and the rest, Ling Yun's six most outstanding disciples. They walked at the front and were the closest to Long Kun. All of them looked furious.
One had to know that Long Kun used to be their boss, and he was the person they worshipped the most!
They called out to Uncle Long and tried to stick close to him several times. However, they bumped into an invisible barrier, and they couldn't get close at all.
"Uncle Ling, since it's my Brother Ling Xiao's birthday today, why didn't you send someone to inform me? I was in such a hurry that I didn't have time to prepare a generous gift. That's why I'm late …"
Long Haoran stepped into the banquet hall, but he ignored the gazes of thousands of people in the banquet hall.
He gained the upper hand by a show of strength.
