Old Master Xue was now 80 years old and today was his 80th birthday. Among the masters of the four families, he was second only to Xu Zipao, the master of the Xu family. The other two masters were his juniors.
Suddenly, the second steward announced, "The second son of the Xu family is here."
At this time, there was a lot of discussion. "The Xu family is here."
"It's the second son. Although he is not the eldest son of the Xu family, there are two sons and one daughter in the Xu family. Everyone is outstanding. I didn't expect that the Xu family would also come. But it's reasonable. Old Master Xue is one of the most powerful men in the capital. Even the Xu family, the head of the four families, dare not underestimate the Xue family."
At this time, a handsome young man in his late twenties strode toward them. This man looked capable and experienced. His eyes were bright and his gait was majestic. Xiao Bing glanced at him and found that the second son of the Xu family was a martial arts master. Although he had not stepped into the Innate Realm, he had reached the Transforming Strength Stage. He could be regarded as a first-class master in any city.
This young man had come alone. He held a brocade box in his hand. After walking down the stage, he bowed to Old Master Xue and said in a clear voice, "Xu Jianxin of the Xu family greets Uncle Xue. My father hasn't been feeling well recently and doesn't like noise, so he asked me to congratulate Uncle Xue on his birthday. This is a small birthday gift."
Naturally, there were servants at the side who received the gifts from the Xu family and registered them at the same time.
Old Master Xue smiled and said, "Jianxin is becoming more and more dignified. The Xu family is really lucky. Go back and thank your father for me. I haven't seen Brother Xu in a long time. Invite him over when he has the chance. I have some good tea leaves here that I'm waiting for him to taste."
Xu Jianxin smiled and nodded. "I will tell my father."
Xu Jianxin's father was the current head of the Xu family, Xu Zipao. Xu Zipao was older than Old Master Xue, but he had children too late. He didn't have his first child until he was fifty years old. Later, he had a son and a daughter, so there were two generations of the Xu family. However, the age of the second generation of the Xu family was similar to that of the third generation of the Xue family. This was why Xu Jianxin called Old Master Xue uncle.
At this time, the others all stepped forward. Facing the second son of the capital's number one aristocratic family, even the prestigious figures all greeted Xu Jianxin politely, "Young Master Jianxin."
Xu Jianxin was neither servile nor overbearing, but he politely greeted them one by one.
Seeing this, Xiao Bing thought to himself, "This Xu Jianxin is not the most dazzling dragon of the Xu family, but he has this kind of bearing. It seems that the Xu family really deserves to be the first family in Jingdu."
At this time, the deputy steward suddenly said loudly, "Miss Wen is here."
Upon hearing the words' Young Lady Wen ', everyone turned to look at the source of the voice. They saw a gorgeous young woman dressed in a long blue dress striding towards them. She was about the same age as Xu Jianxing, around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. Her appearance was even more outstanding, and she had a temperament that was hard to come by for ordinary women. This woman was the daughter of the current Patriarch of the Wen family, Young Lady Wen Lan.
The current head of the Wen family, Wen Chaosheng, was just 55 years old this year. He was considered a junior of Old Master Xue. He had been married for many years, but his wife had only given him one daughter. It was said that Wen Chaosheng's wife had contracted an illness and was infertile. However, Wen Chaosheng was a rare man in the upper class who was loyal to love. So he would rather not have a son than look for other women.
Fortunately, Wen Lan's talent and ability were even better than ordinary men's. She was not inferior to any man's.
Unfortunately, no matter how excellent Wen Lan was, if she became the head of the Wen family in the future, the Wen family would change its surname sooner or later.
Wen Lan said politely, "Greetings, Old Master Xue. Wen Lan pays respect to you."
Old Master Xue smiled and said, "Wen Lan, you are becoming more and more beautiful."
"Old Master, this is a gift for you. It's just a token of my respect."
Wen Lan was holding a scroll in her hand, which should be a painting. But it was obvious that the gift must be priceless. The servant next to him hurriedly took it and registered it.
Old Master Xue smiled and said, "How is your father recently?"
Wen Lan smiled and said, "He has been very good recently. But he just went abroad a few days ago and is not at home. So this time, I came to congratulate you on behalf of my father."
Old Master Xue nodded slightly. Xue Caining came over and grabbed Wen Lan's hand. She smiled and said, "Sister Wen Lan, let's go to the side and talk."
Seeing this scene, Old Master Xue sighed in his heart. Xue Caining was now the most outstanding girl in the third generation of the Xue family. She was not much worse than Xue Tianyi. Unfortunately, she was a girl after all and was not suitable to be the head of the family.
At this time, the Deputy Chief Steward continued, "Young Master Lin of the Lin family has arrived."
At this time, someone whispered, "It is said that the four families have to compete with each other, but today, the other three families have all come."
"Of course, how can they not come to celebrate Old Master Xue's birthday?"
At this time, a young man who looked very cheerful and lively walked over. This young man was dressed in white, and he was sunny and handsome. However, he gave off a somewhat unruly temperament. When he saw Wen Lan and Xue Caining, his eyes immediately lit up. He had the eyes of a playboy. However, he quickly retracted his gaze. Upon closer inspection, one could see that there was wisdom in the depths of his eyes.
The young man smiled and said, "Grandpa Xue, I wish you happiness as vast as the East Sea and longevity as long as the South Mountain! The fan in my hand is the one used by Qianlong. I just bought it from the auction and gave it to Grandpa Xue as a birthday gift. "
Everyone was amazed when they heard this. The servant next to him took it and registered it.
Old Master Xue smiled and said, "Lin Zihang, I've made your family spend a lot of money."
"Not at all, not at all." Lin Zihang suddenly turned his head and looked at Wen Lan and Xue Caining. He smiled and said, "Ah, Miss Wen Lan and Miss Caining are here too. I happen to have a lot to say to you two."
Lin Zihang leaned over like a playboy who had seen a little beauty. Xu Jianxin, the second young master of the Xu family, cleared his throat and coughed. Lin Zihang pretended to be surprised and said, "Ah, isn't this Second Brother Xu? I just saw you. I didn't expect you to come too. Where is your Young Master Xu?"
Xu Jianxin said calmly, "My eldest brother is not in the capital recently, so he couldn't come."
"Oh, I see. Hey, I'm the only one among the Four Young Masters in the capital today. What a pity. I thought we could get together."
As soon as he said this, many people's faces changed. Everyone knew the identities of the Four Young Masters in the capital except the mysterious Young Master Long. One was the fake Xu Jianan, who deserved the title of the first young master in the capital and the leader of the young generation in Huaxia. The other one was Xue Tianyi from the Xue family, and the last one was Lin Zihang from the Lin family.
Each of these three young masters could call the wind and summon the rain in the capital. They even had great power in Huaxia. Many people even talked in private that the Xu family, the Lin family, and the Xue family would continue to be glorious under their leadership and maintain their status as the Four Great Families. As for the Wen family, although the Wen family was one of the Four Great Families, they were not among the Four Young Masters because the most outstanding young master of the Wen family was a woman.
Lin Zihang's words reminded people of Xue Tianyi, whose leg had just been broken. That was why the faces of the people present changed. Then they all looked at Xiao Bing, who was eating alone at the table with his mouth full of oil.
At this time, everyone sat down. Seven or eight people sat around the table, except for Xiao Bing. It was obvious that he was the only one at the table.
At this time, Old Master Xue said, "Today is my 80th birthday. I'm very happy that all of you came to celebrate my birthday. Thank you."
Old Master Xue sighed and said, "But I didn't want to celebrate today's birthday. Everyone should know that something happened in the Xue family recently. My eldest son, Xue Gang's son, had his legs broken. This child, Tianyi, is considered outstanding among his peers in Jingdu. He is also the child that I value the most. But now, because of this matter, his will is depressed. He might not even be able to stand up for the rest of his life. This is all because of one person. "
Old Master Xue suddenly looked at Xiao Bing and said with a trembling voice, "Mr. Xiao Bing, I thank you for disciplining my grandson for me."
Xiao Bing threw the bone in his hand on the table, took out two pieces of tissue, and wiped his hands and mouth. Then he looked up at Old Master Xue with a sincere smile and said, "Old Master Xue is too polite!"
Seeing this, Lin Zihang of the Lin family had a strange look in his eyes. He laughed in his heart, "This Xiao Bing is so shameless. Does he think that Old Master Xue is really grateful to him? Now the Xue family can't wait to skin him and pull out his tendons! "
Many people felt that Xiao Bing was too arrogant. Not only did he come to the Xue family alone, but he didn't even show any apology. When the Xue family thanked him, he acted as if it was a matter of course. He was either full of confidence or a lunatic. Most people thought that Xiao Bing was a lunatic, but no one dared to provoke him. Even though everyone was optimistic about the Xue family, they would not take sides at this time. After all, Xiao Bing had amazing martial arts. Even if he was a lunatic, he was still a powerful lunatic.
Old Master Xue was really angry. He slammed his crutch on the ground. The majesty of a superior made many people suffocate. He looked at Xiao Bing angrily and said in a deep voice, "Xiao Bing, do you really think I'm thanking you? You ignorant young man who doesn't know how to respect the old and cherish the young! "
