Old Mr. Yi had invited many guests to the banquet today. Most of them were old friends from influential families and influential people in City S.
Since Min Yu and Huo Yao were strangers to the industry, the moment they entered the main hall, the guests looked at them quizzically and inquisitively.
They would have thought it was normal for Old Mr. Yi to greet someone from an influential family. But since they were two youngsters... it made them curious.
Old Mr. Yi did not reveal Min Yu's identity to the guests. He only said that they were distant relatives. Before long, everyone stopped looking at them curiously.
It made sense for Old Mr. Yi's relative to greet a distant relative. As long as they were not important people, there was no need to chat with them.
Even though Min Yu looked powerful and intimidating, everyone felt pressured just by looking at him.
Since there were other guests to greet, Old Mr. Yi arranged for Huo Yao and Min Yu to sit down before he left.
There were exquisite pastries on the table. Min Yu took a plate and placed it in front of Huo Yao. He said unhurriedly, "The banquet won't start so soon. Have something to eat first."
Huo Yao was a foodie, so she did not stand on ceremony. She picked up a piece of hibiscus cake and put it in her mouth. It melted in her mouth and was not too sweet. It suited her taste very well, so she ate two pieces in a row.
Min Duan sat upright in his seat. His facial features were deep and handsome, and he exuded a cold aura. His eyes landed on the girl beside him, but there was no coldness in them at all.
Huo Yao stopped after eating two or three pieces. There were some crumbs at the corner of her mouth. Just as she was about to take out a tissue from her pocket, Min Yu handed it to her.
She raised her head and glanced at him before she took it. "Thank you."
Min Yu raised his brow and tapped his fingers on the table. "You're welcome."
Old Mr. Pei and Old Mr. Yi had been friends for years, so it was only natural that he would not miss the birthday party. Old Mr. Pei had just gone to the bathroom. When he returned to the main hall, he saw Huo Yao at first glance. His eyes lit up and he hurried over.
"Little Master Huo."
Huo Yao instinctively raised her hand to cover her forehead when she heard him call her 'Little Master Huo'.
Ever since she borrowed Old Mr. Pei's medicine refinement room, she had been calling him 'Master'. It felt weird to be called 'Master' by an old man.
Old Mr. Pei walked over excitedly and greeted Min Yu before he sat down next to Huo Yao. "Little Master Huo, I followed your instructions to make the nerve-soothing incense you gave me and succeeded." Huo Yao nodded.
Of course, it was impossible for him to say that he had only barely reached the level of success after trying countless times.
Huo Yao finally put her hand down and turned to look at Old Mr. Pei with a fake smile. "You are the best!"
Old Mr. Pei coughed and said, "Your prescription is very detailed."
"The incense formula is more targeted. Ordinary people won't be able to use it," said Huo Yao with raised brow.
"I know." Old Mr. Pei chuckled and said shamelessly, "Why don't you teach me a common sleeping incense?"
Huo Yao's forehead twitched. She immediately replied. "I don't know how to do anything else. This is the only thing I know."
Min Yu glanced at her quietly after she finished speaking.
