Chapter 157 The Day of Reward
The next morning.
The main gate of the Lü residence was sealed with an altar.
On this day, the Lü family home became unusually lively, bustling with people coming and going, creating a noisy and joyful atmosphere no less than that of a wedding ceremony.
"Three portions of the Zhao Family's Spirit Pearl Grass!"
"One portion of the Wang family's thousand-year-old snow lotus!"
"..."
The accountant's booming voice echoed throughout the entire Fengtan area, and families from all walks of life came in droves to present their congratulatory gifts. The servants, busy carrying the gifts, all had smiles on their faces.
This banquet has at least several dozen tables that can accommodate ten people each. Even those who just come to join in the fun can get a seat at a large table, which shows the generosity of the Lü family.
There's no way around it; we're a large and wealthy family, so we don't need that small gift.
The brightly lit red carpet was packed with people.
"You're too kind, please come in!" The well-dressed Lü Fengxian greeted the guests arriving at the banquet entrance. "No gifts needed, just coming to show your support is fine too, the more the merrier..."
VIP area.
Song Yunrui remained silent with a gloomy face, as if inviting him to the banquet was a disservice to him.
"Oh," Song Yunxiu said sarcastically, "didn't you say you had to go to school today and didn't have time to attend the ceremony?"
Song Yunrui's lips twitched. "You're mistaken. I didn't say that."
“Ah…yawn…” Song Yunqi rested his chin on his hand, “Do I even need to think about it? This simp only came because he heard that that bitch Kong Xinxin is back, so he…yawn…wanted to come.”
With a "whoosh," Song Yunrui was drenched in sweat. "Don't talk nonsense! How could I be here for that? I'm only here to give the Lü family face!"
That mouth is so hard, so incredibly hard.
"Why... yawn..." Song Yunqi fidgeted with his cup listlessly. "Why can't our two families' award banquets be held together? We have to have another one tomorrow. I really don't want to get up early... yawn..."
Song Yunxiu waved her feather fan and parted her lips slightly, "You don't understand, do you? Because bestowing titles and rewards is no small matter. The ceremony must begin at an auspicious time and time. It cannot be done hastily."
At this moment, the voices from the accounting department suddenly became impassioned.
"Distinguished guests from the Kong family of the City Lord's Mansion, bringing a gift of one million taels of gold and a pair of rare and precious treasures!"
Upon hearing this, Song Yunrui beamed with joy, "Miss Xin Xin!"
He's completely showing his sycophantic nature...
Song Yunqi & Song Yunxiu: "Tch..."
The entrance to the banquet.
"Congratulations, Lord Marquis, congratulations, Brother Fengxian..." Kong Fan suddenly changed his tune, "No, from today onwards I shall address you as 'Young Lord Marquis'..."
Behind Lord Kong, Kong Xinxin reluctantly bowed.
After all, it was a banquet to bestow honors, and no quarrels or disputes occurred. The woman's scandal was a scandal of Yong'an City itself, and it couldn't be known by those in power.
"Haha, congratulations to you too," Lü Zhongying said politely, clasping his hands in a fist salute. "Eh? Where's Grandpa Kong? Didn't he come?"
Kong Fan said, "My father had some other matters to attend to and was unable to come with us."
"Alright, please take your seats and rest in the VIP section."
clap clap!
"Someone is coming."
At this moment, Lü Fengxian clapped her hands and summoned several servants, saying, "The Kong family's daughter has difficulty walking, so please take good care of her and make sure she doesn't fall on the road."
"Yes, Master."
Kong Xinxin: (￢︿??￢)
"Tch, what's so great about a loser like him? He even dares to speak ill of me..."
However, having turned herself into a useless person, she had no recourse other than cursing herself inwardly.
"Get out of the way, all of you!" Song Yunrui shouted, grabbing the wheelchair's handle. "Miss Xin Xin, good morning! Why don't you come sit with us..."
"You come back to your death!"
Immediately afterwards, Song Yunxiu and Song Yunqi dragged him back.
"What a waste!" Kong Xinxin gritted her teeth inwardly.
Soon, the Kong family arrived at the VIP seats.
"Hmph, no distinguished guests have come anyway," Kong Xinxin said, looking around. "Lu Fengxian is nothing special..."
At this point, she murmured to herself, "The major families only sent ordinary clansmen responsible for external affairs; not a single core clan member came..."
Watch me hook up with a big shot...
"I'll make sure you die a horrible death! You'd better not mess with me, Kong Xinxin!"
Immediately, an even more impassioned shout came from the accounting office.
"Kong Zheng of the Kong family, together with the heads of the Chen, Lu, Tao, and Chu families, presented a congratulatory gift of 500 million gold coins!"
Ten boxes of rare treasures, twenty-five boxes of medicinal herbs and materials…!!!
"Huh?" Kong Xinxin: w(?Д?)w
"Congratulations, Lord Marquis!" The four heads of the family clasped their hands in a salute.
"Brother Kong Zheng, esteemed family heads..." Lü Zhongying greeted them with a smile, "You are all too kind. Let's skip the formalities and come, please take a seat."
"Please wait a moment, my lord. Allow us to pay our respects to the young lord first!"
After saying that, Kong Zheng led the four heads of the family to Lü Fengxian respectfully.
"This old servant, Kong Zheng, pays his respects to Young Master Fengxian!" He knelt down immediately. "Congratulations to Young Master Fengxian on being granted the title of Marquis!"
He paused, then said, "This old servant wishes the young master a meteoric rise to great heights!"
thump!
"Your subordinate is Chu Dasheng of the Chu family!"
thump!
"Your subordinate is Chen Xian of the Chen family!"
thump!
"Your subordinate is Tao Lin of the Tao family!"
thump!
"Your subordinate is Lu Zinong of the Lu family!"
Immediately afterwards, they shouted in unison, "Congratulations to Young Master Fengxian on being granted a noble title!"
In an instant!
"Fuck..."
The noisy banquet suddenly quieted down, and everyone's breathing could be clearly heard. They looked at the five top-tier families who had publicly pledged their allegiance and fell into deep thought.
"Grandpa Kong, patriarchs, what are you doing?!" Lü Fengxian looked shocked and quickly went to help them up. "Please get up quickly and take a seat to rest."
He secretly transmitted his voice, "Old Kong, you did a good job. Collect your reward after the banquet."
"Hiss..." The group gasped.
The rest of the companies: ...
They were all dumbfounded, no, even dumber than wooden chickens.
"Holy crap!" Song Yunqi was so shocked that he was wide awake. "When did Uncle Fengxian become so powerful? He actually managed to subdue all five major families..."
Song Yunrui: Σ(っ °Д °；)っ
"What...this...what happened?" He was completely dumbfounded.
The dangerous thoughts that had arisen earlier vanished like bubbles before they could even be put into action, and not a single thought of revenge arose in my mind.
He values his life more than trying to woo a goddess...
"Huh?" Song Yunxiu's beautiful eyes widened in surprise.
After the silence, numerous hushed discussions began.
"Isn't it said that the top families in Yong'an City and the Lü family from above have always kept to themselves... What's going on here?"
"How would I know? I heard that the heads of these families are all top-tier Earth-level experts... how could they kneel before that playboy from the Lü family..."
"Could it be because he was granted a title? That can't be..."
"Possibly. After all, it's the awakening of a destined being. As long as they don't die prematurely, they'll become a Saint-level powerhouse with limitless potential..."
At this moment, Zhula and Qige suddenly spoke up, "You don't know this, but I've heard that this young master of the Lü family, who is about to be granted the title of Marquis, is a super expert at the peak of the Heaven Rank..."
After saying that, he darted off to the other side, occasionally revealing some "insider information".
"What!?"
[Host, we're rich! We have more emotional points than we can count!!]
