Xiao Jingyue's officer was older than Li Chenxuan's father, Li Yun. As Xiao Jingyue's official wife, it was normal for Li Chenxuan to pay his respects.

She then lightly nodded her head and said: "Young Master Li is today's birthday, there is no need to be so courteous."

In the Kingdom of Altar, there was actually no such thing as a birthday banquet for young people. Most of the people attending this banquet were old geezers who were already in their fifties.

This time, Li Yun had helped his son Li Chenxuan break the mundane world. In addition to being shocked, Qu Ling was also full of admiration for him.

If Li Chenxuan's parents were to do the same thing to him, Li Yun would probably go crazy on the spot.

Just as Li Chenxuan was about to speak, he saw two servants running over from afar, sweating profusely, so he had no choice but to give up.

"Master and Madam are looking for you everywhere." One of the servants said.

Li Chenxuan nodded, gently said goodbye to Qu Ling, and followed the servant out.

After they left, Li Ning'er prodded Qu Ling's arm with his elbow, "Young master Li, you looked good, right?"

Qu Ling nodded and said calmly: "It does look good."

However, compared to Xiao Jingyue, Chu Yu and the rest, they were still lacking a little.

"So perfunctory! I know that no matter how beautiful you look, you will never be as beautiful as your family's general. " Li Ning'er scoffed sourly, looking at Li Chenxuan's back from afar, he suddenly sighed: "If it wasn't for the fact that I'm from the same sect, I would even want to climb up to Young Master Li."

Pausing for a moment, Li Ning'er swept his gaze across Qu Ling's hand, "I forgot to ask, what happened to your hand?"

Qu Ling lowered his head and looked at his palm that was still wrapped in a circle of gauze, "I accidentally burned it."

Li Ning'er knew that she was not speaking the truth, but he tactfully stopped asking.

The two of them walked back to the garden where Qu Ling, who was surrounded by a crowd of stars, looked over to her.

With a bit of guilt in her heart, she shrank back and turned her head to look elsewhere.

As there were a lot of guests today, Li Yun and his wife arranged for a feast to be held in the flower garden.

The male and female members of the family sat at different tables, while Qu Ling and Li Ning'er sat together in a corner.

Li Ning'er looked at the people in the garden and sighed: "Luckily there is no one in the palace here, otherwise, I would have lost a lot of face."

No one came from the palace, but the imperial concubine and the crown prince had both ordered people to send gifts to them. This was already giving the Minister of War Palace a huge amount of face.

Qu Ling did not reply. While he was thinking about how he was going to sneak into the backyard later to take a look, a person suddenly sat down on the right empty seat.

Then, he heard Li Ning'er call out: "Boss Huo."

Before Qu Ling could turn his head, a wooden box appeared in front of him.

Huo Xinyi said: "The Mrs. Xiao's hairpin is ready, I have conveniently brought it here for you today."

Qu Ling stared at the wooden box for a long time. After she came back to her senses, she kept the wooden box and thanked Huo Xinyi with a smile: "Since it's like this, I'll thank Boss Huo. Tomorrow, I will get someone to send the rest of the money to Master Chen in the Treasure Pavilion. "

Huo Xinyi's eyes swept across Minister of War and said slowly: "It's just a hairpin, consider it my apology to Mrs. Xiao."

Qu Ling laughed, and did not reply, but silently rubbed his arms.

Huo Xinyi's body was getting colder and colder, sitting beside her like a cold winter wind blowing into the wind.

After Huo Xinyi appeared, Li Ning'er's entire body tensed up as if he was about to face a great enemy.

After the banquet, Li Ning'er immediately pulled Qu Ling to the side and asked in a low voice: "You whipped a hairpin in her house?"

Qu Ling nodded in confusion, "That's right, what's the matter?"

Li Ning'er thought: Huo Xinyi is so evil, you actually still dare to take what she has touched? He said, "Nothing, I'm just curious why she's here."

Most of the people that Li Yun had invited were officials of the imperial court and their families. No matter how bad they were, they were still part of the famous sects in the imperial city.

Qu Ling did not reveal the secret relationship that Huo Xinyi had with the Minister of War Palace, he only said: "Minister Li's wife really likes the hairpin of the Treasure Pavilion, it isn't strange that she would be invited here today."

Li Ning'er curled his lips, did not say anything else, and left with his elder brother who came to find her.

The people in the garden scattered in an instant. Just when Qu Ling was about to go find Xiao Jingyue, Huo Xinyi suddenly appeared in front of her and blocked her path.

"Mrs. Xiao, can I have a word with you?"

Xiao Jingyue waited from the left and right. Anger rose in his heart before Qu Ling could return to look for him.

"Xiao Er!"

"Your subordinate is here!"

Xiao Jingyue took a deep breath and asked, "Where is Xiao Yihan?"

Xiao Er himself knew that Master did not want to ask about Xiao Yi, so he said caringly: "Madam left together with Huo Xinyi."

Xiao Jingyue's expression changed, and then he heard Xiao Er add, "Master, don't worry. With Xiao Yi following them, Madam will be fine."

Xiao Jingyue turned to the side, and looked at the Xiao Er with narrowed eyes, "Xiao San hasn't been able to find the whereabouts of the Godly Doctor Gu, why don't you go and replace him?"

Xiao Er immediately knelt down, "This subordinate knows his wrongs!"

Xiao Jingyue turned around and searched for his worrying wife.
