Chapter 337 Birthday
"Have all the invitations been sent out?" The head of the Gu family looked at the three masters of the Gu family.
"Don't worry, Dad. It has been sent out long ago. How can we not care about Li'er's birthday?" The old man of the Gu family replied with a smile.
"How is the banquet venue arranged?" asked the head of the Gu family again.
"I did everything myself and arranged it carefully." The second master of the Gu family said with a smile.
"How are the things needed for the banquet being prepared?" Patriarch Gu asked another question.
"All of them are the best. We have also prepared return gifts for the guests who came to the birthday party." The three members of the Gu family replied.
"This is Li'er's first time going home for her birthday, so we have to attach great importance to it. We must make her feel good about being home." Patriarch Gu said seriously.
"That's a must. Li'er's birthday is of utmost importance." The eldest elder of the Gu family agreed.
Several other elders also expressed their opinions.
……
Yan Li's eighth birthday arrived amidst everyone's enthusiastic preparations.
On this day, Yan Li was seen wearing an exquisite red dress. Early in the morning, three aunts came to Sigui Pavilion to help her dress up.
When the banquet was about to begin, they arrived holding Yan Li's hands.
As for King Zhan and King Xiao, they had already been brought to the banquet venue and taken their seats by Gu Shan and others.
They watched Yan Li arrive in an exquisite red dress. At first glance, she was so beautiful that they couldn't take their eyes off her.
As the birthday girl, Yan Li was seated next to the head of the Gu family.
What was different about Yan Li’s birthday party was that there was a plate of meat buns and a plate of candied haws on every table.
This was carefully prepared by the three masters of the Gu family. After all, these two things were Yan Li’s favorite things.
Yan Li's eyes lit up when she saw the meat buns and candied haws on her table.
Gu Xin naturally also came with the head of the Su family.
She sat next to Su Hong, and her eyes were almost burning with jealousy at the grand celebration of Yan Li's birthday.
She thought to herself that as a descendant of the Gu family, her birthday was always celebrated simply, how could there have been such a grand ceremony?
Gu Xin’s birthday is only three days apart from Yan Li’s, which means that Gu Xin’s birthday is three days after Yan Li’s birthday.
On Yan Li's birthday, three old friends of the Gu family, She Xiang, Gong Gu, and Yan Qi, naturally also came.
They looked at Yan Li with loving eyes. They already treated her as their own granddaughter.
"Li'er, I heard that you overcame all obstacles at the Ten-Year Conference, which was quite amazing?" She Xiang looked at Yan Li with shining eyes.
During the ten-year conference, they missed it because they were picking a magical medicine. It was a pity that they didn't see Li'er glowing with their own eyes.
"It's not that difficult. It's just challenging the areas of the Ten-Year Conference." Yan Li said while chewing a meat bun.
"He has become the first person to pass the Ten-Year Conference in history. This is something that has shocked the entire continent." Upon hearing this, Gong Gu looked at Yan Li with a helpless look.
This child has done something so earth-shattering, but the key is that she doesn't know how shocking what she has done is.
"Who told that the conference stipulates that one must completely clear all the levels before getting the Moonlight Pearl? I just want the Moonlight Pearl." Yan Li said that she was also helpless.
"You are such a funny kid." Yan Qi laughed when he heard that.
As the guests arrived, Yan Li's birthday party began.
As soon as the banquet started, Yan Li naturally received a lot of gifts carefully prepared by everyone.
After everyone had given their gifts, the War King asked Yan Li to drip blood on an exquisite hairpin and then put it on Yan Li's head himself.
This was made by him himself, and it looks very delicate and beautiful.
"Senior Brother, where did this hairpin come from?" Yan Li looked at King Zhan curiously.
She could feel that the hairpin gave off a reassuring aura.
"This is made by me, Li'er. Don't take it off at any time, okay?" The War King looked at Yan Li very seriously.
"Okay." Yan Li nodded heavily after hearing this.
This is a birthday gift that my senior brother made for me personally, so I will not take it off.
The War King smiled slightly when he heard this.
The gift that King Xiao prepared for Yan Li was a fan in the shape of a candied haws.
This is a divine weapon, made by King Xiao himself.
Yan Li almost laughed out loud when she saw the fan. Only Brother Yi would think of giving her such a gift.
But his heart is better than millions of treasures.
Naturally, the young masters of the Gu family also showed off their talents and gave out all kinds of gifts, which made Yan Li so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.
Seeing how happy Yan Li was, Gu Xin felt jealous but also couldn't help looking forward to her birthday party three days later.
"Miss Yan, the sect leader has a gift for you." At this moment, an old man stood up from his seat.
Everyone looked at him curiously. Have all the gifts been given out?
What's going on with this Master Wu?
The leader of the Wu Sect is none other than the leader of the Fengsheng Sect, Wu Sheng.
Yan Li also looked at Master Wu in confusion, thinking that he was deliberately looking for trouble, but this attitude was not right.
It would be very inappropriate to say that he really wanted to give a gift.
“I don’t know, Sect Master Wu…” Patriarch Gu looked at Sect Master Wu.
"Master Gu, don't worry, the gift will be here soon." After Master Wu said this, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
This made Yan Li and the others silently alert.
It seems that this Master Wu really has bad intentions!
The others also looked in the direction of Sect Master Wu with great curiosity. Everyone knew that Yan Li was someone not to be messed with.
Ever since the ten major conferences, a saying has been circulating outside: You can offend heaven and earth, but don’t offend Yan Li, or you’ll be careful of heaven getting angry.
Could it be that Master Wu was asking to be struck by lightning?
Amid the crowd's puzzled gazes, they saw a sedan chair carried by four people descending from the sky.
Seeing this scene, Yan Li couldn't help but look at Gu Zhu.
Thinking back to the first time I met Brother Gu Zhu, he appeared in this way.
Gu Zhu felt Yan Li's gaze and suddenly became arrogant.
How can that sedan chair compare to my own?
Besides, the person in this sedan chair is definitely not as handsome as me.
As everyone was curious, a hand slowly lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, and a pale but stunningly beautiful woman walked out.
Everyone was very puzzled. Could it be that this woman was the gift that Sect Leader Wu gave to Yan Li?
But Yan Li is not only a girl but also a child who is only eight years old. What's the point of giving her such a beautiful woman?
"Ahem... Miss Yan, my name is Wu Pianpian, and I'm the eldest daughter of Fengsheng Sect." Wu Pianpian looked at Yan Li with a sickly look.
"Master Wu, I cannot accept this gift. You are willing to give your daughter to me as a maid, but I don't want her. Look at her, she can't carry anything on her shoulders or lift anything with her hands. She is useless, absolutely useless." Yan Li turned her head and said to Master Wu.
Everyone present could clearly hear the rejection and disgust in her tone.
