Gu Changfeng also frowned when he heard this. He looked at Tang Chong, who was originally by his side, only to discover that Tang Chong had already disappeared. Only then did he feel that he had fallen into a trap.

Clenching his fists tightly, he thought to himself: Tang Chong, you bastard, I will never forgive you!

Yes, no matter what, Zhou Hui was his sister's boyfriend. Even if the two of them had conflicts of interest in the future, they would still be on the same boat.

Seeing that the time was about to come, Gu Yunlei waved his hand and laughed loudly: "Everyone, today is the day of my wedding. I thank everyone for coming, and I don't have any benefits to share with you all, but in my backyard, there is a small lake, and beside the lake, there are some ores that were transported back from Myanmar. You can take a look if you're interested."

"Wow, Patriarch Gu's ore!"

"Those are all good materials from Burma, but they're all rare and precious things."

"I've heard before that Old Man Gu randomly bestowed one to a servant. It's said that he had created an ice seed and sold it for over a million."

A few rich young masters and youths who hadn't seen much of the world were whispering to each other.

However, at this moment, a ruddy-faced woman who appeared to be in her forties or fifties slowly walked over, holding the arm of a young, pretty girl beside her.

With a smile, he said: "Old Gu, we have been friends for so many years. Is it not appropriate for you to let us play with the ores in your lake?"

Her name was Zhao Xueyan, and she was the head of one of the Four Great Clans, the Zhao Family. The pretty girl beside her was her daughter, Zhao Meng.

She was beautiful, and it didn't have anything to do with her intricacy. Just by looking at her, one would feel like a lady from a noble family. She seemed very well-mannered, and didn't seem the least bit ostentatious.

When Gu Yunlei heard Zhao Xue Yun's words, he laughed out loud and said, "Patriarch Zhao, the ore in my little lake is not ordinary today. Patriarch Gu, please follow me to enjoy the scenery."

"If you like it, Patriarch Zhao, I'll give you one so that you can choose as you please, okay?"

"If that's the case, then I won't be polite. Little Meng, let's go!"

With that, Gu Yunlei gave the order and the banquet was transferred to the garden's lake in the backyard.

Gu Yunlei and Zhao Xueyan sat in the upper echelon. Beside them was another person with a gloomy face and an extremely unsightly expression. This person was also one of the four great clans of Pu Jiang city, the head of the Tang clan, Tang Zhenlong.

Before, when he told the butler to invite Zhou Hui, he was actually rejected. He even endured the matter of his own son being beaten up. His goal was to befriend Zhou Hui, the leader of the Green Gang, and prepare for his future plans.

But he could do nothing as Zhou Hui was so bold and didn't give him any face. Today, he dressed up like a dog and came to participate in the Gu family's birthday feast. Wasn't that just slapping his face?

Thus, his expression was not good, and his mood was extremely bad.

He didn't even want to stay here anymore. If it wasn't for his face, hmph. Perhaps he would have already personally taught this arrogant person called Zhou Hui a lesson.

"Patriarch Gu, let's not talk about all those useless things. Today is your birthday, so I don't have anything to give you. Son, bring it up."

After Tang Zhenlong finished speaking, Tang Chong quickly took out a gift box and respectfully placed it on the table.

Tang Zhenlong then continued, "Head of the Gu family, there is a 300 year old ginseng in here. Consider it my intentions."

With Tang Zhenlong's birthday present, Zhao Xue Yun, who was standing to the side, did not want to be outdone and gave a look to Zhao Meng'er.

"Master Tang is indeed magnanimous. This year, 300 years of life is really rare."

"Humph!" Tang Zhenlong only coldly snorted. The two families already had a grudge.

Gu Yunlei, who sat at the head of the table, laughed and said, "Both of you, please give me some face today. We are all friends here, and for the peace of Pu Jiang city, we must coexist peacefully."

However, everyone knew very well that he was only saying perfunctory things and would not have any effect.

At this moment, Zhao Meng'er took out the gift that she had prepared a long time ago.

Smiling, he said respectfully to Gu Yunlei, "This is a good item that my mother brought back from Mi Nation for a huge sum of money. Please take a look."

Zhao Xueyan nodded slightly. Gu Yunlei opened it and a ray of light flashed in his eyes. He immediately felt incomparably happy and nodded towards Zhao Xueyu.

Immediately afterwards, the rich and powerful crocodiles from all around began to send congratulatory gifts to Gu Yunlei one after the other. This was also the most interesting part of the birthday celebration.

When the ceremony was about to end, a man suddenly came in from the main courtyard. He looked to be in his twenties. He was dressed in magnificent clothes, but one of his hands were against his chest. He clearly hadn't recovered yet.

This person was Liu Fan. He confidently arrived in front of Gu Yunlei with a gift box in his hand. He paused for a moment, then his gaze swept around before finally landing on Zhou Hui, his heart filled with boundless hatred.

However, he still forced out a smile and said to Gu Yunlei, "Uncle Gu, my father is unwell. Please forgive me for not being able to personally come to offer you your birthday."

Gu Yunlei's expression did not change, but he stopped smiling. He only calmly said, "No worries!"

Liu Fan quickly opened the box as soon as he finished speaking. A refreshing fragrance immediately wafted out, causing a huge commotion.

Liu Fan, on the other hand, had a face full of arrogance as he introduced the fruit to Gu Yunlei, "Uncle Gu, my father spent a lot of effort to get this fruit. I heard that your cultivation reached a bottleneck, so I'm sure this fruit will bring you endless benefits."

Liu Fan took out this fruit, which was called the Qi Gathering Fruit. This fruit grew in an extremely poor environment, and it was rarely picked by anyone. It could absorb the essence of the sun and moon, and could help cultivators break through bottlenecks.

However, Gu Yunlei's face slightly darkened. Although his cultivation had reached a bottleneck and he urgently needed to break through, the Liu family had clearly sent over such a treasure to help Liu Fan get back at him.

He knew that Zhou Hui had beaten Liu Fan quite badly that day, or else he wouldn't still be in a cast right now. However, after thinking about it, Gu Yunlei lightly smiled and said, "I accept your kind intentions, and I also accept your presents. Go back and tell your father that our two families still have a lot of business to do in the future."

Actually, Gu Yunlei had already thought about this long ago. Even if he accepted this fruit, he would not change his mind.

Although this fruit was a treasure, it could not immediately increase his cultivation. With that, it would be better to give this fruit to Zhou Hui and let his cultivation break through.
