Chapter 144 Sending The Bell
Chapter 144 Sending The Bell
"Miss Bai's second?"
Hearing this, Lu Fang was taken aback for a moment. He had heard Chu Tianli mention this person, who was Chu Tianli's former fiancée, but because the Chu family was destroyed, the marriage was annulled.
Now Qiangwei's fiancé is definitely not Chu Tianli.
It is unknown who it is.
However, although the opponent's backing force is strong, it is probably not as good as Chu Tianli, and he didn't come, so Lu Fang didn't care.
While talking, he saw Bai Yuanqing, who had just left, returned to the lawn again.
"Hehe, everyone, I am honored to be able to attend Bai's birthday banquet today"
This time Bai Yuanqing did not come out with the help of others, but leaned on crutches alone, and behind him were Bai Yushu and Bai Weiwei who had left with him just now.
Compared with Bai Yuanqing, Bai Yushu didn't have any smile on his face, but a sad one.
However, the protagonist of this birthday banquet was Bai Yuanqing, and everyone's eyes were focused on Bai Yuanqing, thus ignoring Bai Yushu's expression at this time.
The Bai family is one of the four major families, and many small families want to please Bai Yuanqing in order to gain some benefits.
Seeing that the birthday banquet had already begun, the heads of these small families began to present the gifts they had prepared for a long time.
"The Zhao family sent a hundred-year-old ginseng"
"The Ning family sent a pair of Hetian jade bracelets."
"The Yang family sent a Jade Buddha"
...
Although Bai Yuanqing didn't like the gifts from these small families, he still had to be superficial, and he happily accepted the gifts.
As the small family's gift-giving ended, the other three major families among the four major families also sent congratulatory gifts one after another.
At this time, behind Bai Yuanqing, an old man who was about the same age as him, but looked energetic walked out slowly and stood in front of Bai Yuanqing.
Among the other three major families, the Zhou family was the first to send gifts.
Behind the Patriarch of the Zhou family, Zhou Minghua, was a middle-aged man with a hulking back and waist.
The middle-aged man was holding a long red box horizontally, on which lay a jade-green Ruyi Scepter impressively.
"The Zhou family sent Xiao Xiaoyu Ruyi Scepter"
Zhou Minghua didn't introduce much, but everyone knew that the price of this Jade Ruyi Scepter must be much more expensive than the gifts from them.
But I saw the middle-aged man with a thick back and a waist holding a long box
Walking forward, the old man in front of Bai Yuanqing also stepped forward, and the two looked at each other with a hint of hostility in their eyes.
When receiving the long box, the middle-aged man pressed his hands down, and the long box in his hand was as motionless as a mountain, as if he had no intention of giving it away.
The gift-giving between the four major families is nominally a gift-giving, but in fact it is just a competition of family strength.
The middle-aged man holding the long box horizontally is the strongest worshiper of the Zhou family, and the old man of the Bai family who receives the gift is the strongest worshiper of the Bai family.
On the surface, the two are giving and receiving gifts, but secretly they are still competing for strength. If the old man of the Bai family can accept it, it means that the strength of the Bai family is stronger.
If you can't take it, it means that the Zhou family is stronger.
The strong are respected, if the Bai family loses to any family this time, then he will miss the chief position of the four major families.
"They are all Anjin Practitioners"
Lu Fang narrowed his eyes slightly, and already noticed the strangeness. He thought it was just an ordinary gift, but he didn't expect that there was a hidden surge in it.
However, the outcome was already very clear. The middle-aged man from the Zhou family was only at the early stage of Anjin, while the old man from the Bai family was already at the late stage of Anjin. But within a short while, the gift had already been taken away.
"excuse me"
The middle-aged man cupped fist to leave. Biqu library
Zhou Minghua didn't care either. His Zhou family had always been the bottom of the four major families, and it wouldn't be shameful even if he lost.
Followed by the Sun family.
The Sun family's priest was also an old man with a goatee in the early stage of Anjin, and he was soon defeated.
Followed by the Xie family.
However, the Xie family came prepared this time, and the white man Aiwen invited by the Xie family held a sandalwood box in his hand, on which lay a frighteningly green Ye Ming pearl.
"Please accept the gift"
Aiwen smiled lightly, and didn't put in one's eyes the old man of the Bai family in front of him.
The old man of the Bai family frowned, he couldn't see through the Realm of the person in front of him, which showed that the strength of the other party was probably higher than him.
However, even so, the old man of the Bai family still reached out to take the box. The moment he reached out, Ai Wen grabbed the old man's hand with one hand.
At the next moment, a terrifying force came from the palm of the hand. Beads of sweat appeared on the forehead of the old man of the Bai family, and a painful expression appeared on his face.
Seeing this scene, Bai Yuanqing immediately
Know that the Bai family has lost.
Bai Yushu got the news just now that Miao Hong had left Jiangbei for some unknown reason, and his Bai family had no chance to regain the chief position of the four major families from the Xie family.
"That's enough, my Bai family can't afford this gift from the Xie family"
Bai Yuanqing said in a deep voice.
"Hehe, I'm sorry, Mr. Bai, he doesn't know the rules, and he made you laugh. Mr. Aiwen, please give the gift to Mr. Bai."
Xie Jiancheng smiled and said.
Ai Wen nodded, and handed the box to Bai Yuanqing.
Bai Yuanqing accepted the gift with a cold face, and then gave it to the other bodyguards beside him.
So far, the gift-giving session of the Bai family is almost over.
However, at this moment, a person dressed as a butler stepped forward and presented a gift that had been placed at the door earlier.
"Who sent this?"
Having just lost to the Xie family, Bai Yuanqing's complexion was very ugly, and when he saw a gift from a nameless person sent by a housekeeper, his complexion was not so good either.
"I don't know, but the guy said, you'll love this gift"
As a housekeeper, he has certain responsibilities to ensure the safety of the master, so he would not take such gifts from strangers.
But the other party gave too much.
So the butler only checked it once with an instrument, and after finding that there was no danger, he sent it over.
Seeing this beautifully packaged box, Bai Yuanqing frowned, and gave the old man of the Bai family a look.
The old man of the Bai family nodded and stepped forward to open the box.
Soon, an antique wall clock appeared in front of the old man of the Bai family.
He frowned and didn't speak.
Bai Yuanqing also noticed the strangeness of the other party, stepped forward, glanced lightly, and anger suddenly surged into his heart.
"It's reversed, who did this, dare to use the clock to curse me"
Bai Yuanqing's withered right hand grabbed the wall clock on the gift box and slammed it on the ground.
The wall clock fell on the grass and flicked, and lay on it intact.
Seeing this scene, Bai Yuanqing blushed with anger.
Sending the bell is the same as sending the end, and sending this thing at the birthday banquet clearly means cursing him to die sooner.
His first reaction when he got this thing was to smash it to get rid of bad luck.
But I didn't expect this wall clock to be so strong and not rotten.
