In the hall, the middle-aged man who welcomed Zhao Qingshan and Zhao Qingshan sat at the head of the table. Not far away from him was a yellow-robed man and a middle-aged woman.
Behind the middle-aged man was Li Tianchou, the prodigy of heaven.
"Seventh brother, tenth sister, have the guests' accommodations been arranged?" the middle-aged man asked in a deep voice.
"According to big brother's orders, everything has been arranged. The number of patrolling disciples has also been doubled, and more people have been sent to the various forbidden areas of the clan." The yellow-robed man thought for a moment before replying.
"That's right, seventh brother, where are the Imperial family's accommodations? They won't be near the Taiqing Palace, right?" The middle-aged woman seemed to have thought of something and asked.
"No, the Taiqing Palace's people are at Crouching Ox Peak, and the Imperial family's people are at Scarlet Sun Peak. The two peaks are several dozen li apart, and the Imperial family's people don't have the words Imperial family written on their faces. The Taiqing Palace's people shouldn't be able to recognize them. But then again, even if they meet, it shouldn't be a problem, right?" The yellow-robed man pondered for a moment before asking.
"No matter if it's a problem or not, I don't want them to meet. Ever since I became the clan leader, I've tried my best to get closer to the Taiqing Palace. It wasn't easy for our relationship with the Taiqing Palace to improve. I don't want the Taiqing Palace's people to misunderstand my relationship with the Imperial family. Although the Imperial family was chosen by the Taiqing Palace and the Ten Thousand Demon Palace, after so many years of development, the Imperial family's strength is no longer below that of a mid-tier sect. In the past few years, the ten great sects led by the Taiqing Palace and the Ten Thousand Demon Palace have been secretly suppressing the Imperial family, afraid that the Imperial family's strength will surpass theirs and lose control," the middle-aged man said in a deep voice.
"Father, if that's the case, can't you just not invite the Imperial family's people?" Li Tianchou asked curiously.
"Tianchou, the people from the Imperial family were not invited by your father, but by your Fifth Uncle. Your Fifth Uncle has been quite close to the Imperial family these past few years. If it were not for your Fifth Uncle's invitation, the people from the Imperial family would not have casually come to congratulate you," the middle-aged woman explained.
"Fifth Brother's method is a bit too much. There is no problem with his personal relationship with the Imperial family, but inviting the Imperial family to the birthday celebration, won't others misunderstand the relationship between the Imperial family and our Family Li?" The yellow-robed man frowned and said with some displeasure.
"Hmph, misunderstanding? Your fifth brother can't wait to have a relationship with the Imperial family. A while ago, he even proposed a marriage alliance with the Imperial family! "The middle-aged man snorted and said with some dissatisfaction.
"What? Marriage alliance? Big Brother, you won't really agree, right? "The middle-aged woman's expression changed slightly when she heard this, and she hurriedly asked.
"That's right! Big Brother, inviting the Imperial family to the birthday celebration is not a big deal. If we were to marry the Imperial family, it would tie our Family Li and the Imperial family together! "The yellow-robed man's expression immediately darkened.
"Of course I won't agree to this, but your Fifth Brother's proposal has received the approval of many uncles in the family. It is because of these uncles that your Fifth Brother invited the Imperial family to my birthday celebration." At the end of his words, the middle-aged man's face revealed a trace of helplessness.
"I really don't know what these uncles are thinking. They don't want to hug the thick thigh of the Taiqing Palace, but they want to hug the Imperial family, a boat that can capsize at any time."
"They feel that being on good terms with the Taiqing Palace doesn't give them much benefit. After all, the Imperial family is the ruler of the Song Dynasty and controls many resources. If we have the help of the Imperial family, we can definitely expand our Family Li's power. It is because of this that many uncles agreed to marry the Imperial family."
