"Old Master," Uncle Yun's face was bitter as he thought about how to avoid this competition. "This old servant doesn't have the time to spar with you. Look, your birthday is coming soon. As the steward of the Yun residence, I have a lot of work to do. Both inside and outside the residence are waiting for me to take care of things. I also have to send out the birthday invitations one by one. "
Uncle Yun took out a list of names from his robes. There was a long list of names written on it.
Even the emperor of Zhou State was an honored guest on the list. There were also guests from other states in the Jade Capital, such as Xia Si Ming from the Dharma Temple, who were also invited to the birthday banquet.
Yun Bahe was obviously not interested in this list.
He was a martial artist and had always been troubled by these kinds of complicated formalities. Therefore, he had given full authority to Yun Cangxue and Uncle Yun.
But today, Yun Bahe was different from his usual self and carefully looked at the list.
No matter how he looked at it, he felt that there was a name missing.
"Hmm, Yun Song, are all the invited guests on this list?" Yun Bahe muttered in his heart. Why wasn't that little girl's name on the list?
It turned out that Yun Bahe had other plans in mind when he was willing to hold the birthday banquet this time.
According to Zhou State's etiquette, the elders' birthday banquet required the grandchildren to kowtow and cook.
In his heart, he was still hoping that little girl Yun Sheng would come to congratulate him at this birthday banquet. Then, he would naturally make her kowtow a few times and acknowledge her ancestors.
After all, he only had Yun Sheng and Tang Yu as his children.
Tang Yu was a disappointment and was exiled. Naturally, he wouldn't come back to kowtow to him. Therefore, only Yun Sheng was left.
Uncle Yun saw that his old master was reluctant to ask and muttered in his heart, "Old Master, you have a good plan, but the problem is that the little miss won't admit it."
Yun Bahe finally couldn't hold it in any longer. "I say, Yun Song, are some people missing from the list? I think something's wrong."
"Master, I know what you mean. People like the Second Young Master and the Little Miss are family, so they are naturally not on the list. I have personally sent the invitations to both of them. As for the Second Young Master, he had been out on a mission for the past few days. He would be back in about two or three days. As for Little Miss … "
"What did she say?" Yun Bahe asked.
"She didn't say much." Uncle Yun shrugged.
"How can I not say anything? I'm her grandfather, and the blood of the Yun family flows in her veins. Does she want to deny it?" Yun Bahe's hair stood on end as he stomped his feet in the courtyard. His nostrils flared as he huffed and puffed. If Yun Sheng didn't come, she would be disloyal and unfilial. She would be committing a heinous crime.
"There's no need to persuade her. If she doesn't come, I won't be able to celebrate my birthday," Yun Bahe said stubbornly.
"Master, this old servant will go back to work on the birthday banquet." Uncle Yun wiped the sweat from his forehead. His master was really getting worse and worse. His temper was like that of a child's.
Yun Bahe wanted to say something, but a guard came in and reported, "Master, Xia Siming of the Dharma Temple wishes to see you."
When Yun Bahe heard this, his expression softened.
Uncle Yun heaved a sigh of relief and took the opportunity to slip away.
Yun Bahe straightened his clothes and went out to welcome the guest.
Xia Wenxu had come to Zhou State this time and saved the Crown Prince's life. The imperial family of Zhou State was very courteous to him. In addition, he was young, so his reputation as a genius had spread throughout the mainland for many years.
Even someone like Yun Bahe, who didn't like to interact with sorcerers, couldn't help but treat him with respect.
"Xia Siming, an honored guest has come to visit. Please forgive this old man for not going out to welcome you." As soon as Yun Bahe stepped out, he saw Xia Wenxu waiting at the door, accompanied by two children.
Although he had heard of Xia Wenxu's name long ago, this was the first time he had seen him in person.
It was rumored that Xia Wenxu was like an orchid and had an unparalleled bearing.
Now that he saw him today, he had a tall and straight posture and wore a sorcerer's robe. His silver hair was like snow, and it reflected his handsome face.
Even a boorish person like Yun Bahe couldn't help but praise him in his heart. This person was really favored by the heavens.
"Old General, I trust you have been well since we last met. When Wenxu came to Zhou State this time, I should have paid you a visit long ago. However, because of some trivial matters, I didn't come. Please forgive me, Old General." Xia Wenxu was also secretly sizing up Zhou State's number one fierce general, the old Martial Saint General.
After welcoming Xia Wenxu into the residence, Yun Bahe chatted with him as they walked. The two of them were quite congenial.
This was Xia Wenxu's first time coming to the General's residence. He had come today to reply to Yun Bahe about the birthday banquet, but in his heart, he wanted to see the reason behind Yun Bahe's bloody disaster this time.
Logically speaking, Yun Bahe was only sixty years old this year. To the cultivators of the Boundless Continent, sixty years old wasn't the age of destiny. Instead, it was the time when one's martial strength and battle qi reached their peak.
Xia Wenxu was good at reading people's faces. As soon as Yun Bahe stepped forward, he observed the other party's complexion, steps, and aura.
With a single glance, Xia Wenxu discovered something unusual.
From the outside, Yun Bahe's body looked very healthy. He walked like a dragon or a tiger, and his voice was loud and powerful. It didn't seem like he was sick at all.
However, upon closer inspection, he felt that something wasn't right.
This feeling made Xia Wenxu feel very strange.
Since it wasn't an illness, nor was it poison, then what was the cause of Yun Bahe's bloody calamity this time?
Yun Bahe didn't know what Xia Wenxu was thinking.
He brought him all the way to the main hall. As soon as he sat down, he had a servant serve tea.
The two of them chatted for a while. At this time, Yun Cangxue walked in with a servant.
The servant was holding a bowl of soup in her hands.
The soup had clearly been cooked not long ago. It was still steaming hot.
"Father, it's time for you to drink the soup." Yun Cangxue saw Xia Wenxu as soon as she entered.
Xia Wenxu's face was too outstanding. Even the married Yun Cangxue couldn't help but take a few more looks.
"Xue 'er, I'll drink the soup later. There are guests here. Let me introduce them to you. This is Xia Siming, the genius Siming of the Fa Miao Temple. You should have heard of his name before. "Yun Bahe chuckled as he introduced Yun Cangxue and Xia Wenxu.
Xia Wenxu was the number one genius of the Fa Miao Temple. At the same time, he was the most outstanding potion master in the field of potions in the Fa Miao Temple.
Yun Cangxue's expression tensed. She subconsciously looked at the bowl of soup in the servant's hands.
Yun Bahe didn't care about her unnatural expression.
However, Xia Wenxu caught Yun Cangxue's strange expression. He discreetly glanced at the bowl of soup that the servant had brought over.
The servant's expression was calm and didn't reveal anything out of the ordinary.
However, Yun Cangxue's smile was very forced.
"Xia Siming is too polite. Father, Xia Siming isn't an outsider. You should drink the soup while it's hot. I spent many days preparing these ingredients. "Yun Cangxue nervously clenched her fists.
When the people of the Bloody Hand Tycoon gave her the bottle of medicine, they had already said that this was a very new type of medicine. Even if a great national expert personally came, they wouldn't be able to see any problems with it.
Moreover, this medicine wasn't a magic potion. She wasn't afraid that Xia Wenxu would recognize it. However, Yun Cangxue was still a little nervous. In order to avoid any unexpected problems, she urged Yun Bahe to drink the soup quickly.
"This child." Yun Bahe only saw Yun Cangxue's abnormality as concern. He didn't refuse and picked up the bowl of soup, finishing it in a few gulps.
