“Is the Sixth Elder of the Wang Family planning to bully the young?”
Sophia Xu spoke coldly, stepping in front of Terra Su, shielding most of his body with her own.
With Sophia’s reminder, the Sixth Elder of the Wang Family’s face turned extremely ugly. Although Terra Su had broken Sean Wang’s arms, it was during a martial contest, which was within the rules.
But now, if the Sixth Elder wanted to harm Terra Su, it would be blatant bullying.
“Hmph!”
The Sixth Elder of the Wang Family had no choice but to glare fiercely at Terra Su before ordering his servants to carry Sean Wang away for treatment.
Sean Wang’s injuries were severe; it would take at least a year or more for him to recover.
The scene fell into a dead silence.
Madam Jiang’s face was as dark as water.
Beside her, Otto Jiang and Robert Jiang’s expressions were equally grim.
No one had expected that a perfectly fine birthday banquet would turn out like this.
In the midst of the silence, only Instructor Ouyang from Tianyue Academy was thoughtfully observing Terra Su, a hint of appreciation in his eyes.
Earlier, he had underestimated this young man, thinking he was just average. Now it seemed that this young man had potential. Given time, he might even be worthy of being recruited into Tianyue Academy.
After a long pause, Madam Jiang turned around with a sullen face and walked back to the banquet hall, saying, “The banquet continues!”
Terra Su slightly raised his eyes, a faint sneer in his heart. Ha, the main event is finally coming?
The others also collected their thoughts and followed Madam Jiang back into the banquet hall.
At this moment.
“Honored guests from the Alchemy Guild have arrived!”
A loud shout suddenly pierced everyone’s eardrums.
More guests from the Alchemy Guild coming to the banquet?
Everyone was surprised and looked towards Alchemist Yu.
Alchemist Yu was also puzzled, clearly unaware that there would be other guests from the Alchemy Guild.
“Brother, what’s going on? We didn’t invite anyone else from the Alchemy Guild,” Robert Jiang whispered.
Otto Jiang’s eyes were filled with confusion, but he quickly said, “Invite them in!”
After all, guests from the Alchemy Guild coming to the banquet was not a bad thing. They should be invited in.
Everyone’s eyes turned towards the entrance of the banquet hall.
The butler at the entrance bowed respectfully at a ninety-degree angle.
This surprised everyone present. Throughout the banquet, they had never seen the butler show such respect to any guest.
Who could it be?
Then, an elderly man with white hair, dressed in a fiery red alchemy robe, slowly walked into the banquet hall.
Instantly, the air in the banquet hall froze.
Everyone was speechless with shock!
After a long while, someone finally gasped in disbelief, “It’s Master Mo!”
No wonder they were so shocked. This elderly man was none other than Master Mo, the president of the Alchemy Guild!
And following closely behind Master Mo were Alchemist Qian and several other high-ranking members of the Alchemy Guild!
“My God, how is this possible?”
“Master Mo is a legend in Clear River City. He has never lowered himself to attend any family’s banquet. How could he appear at Madam Jiang’s seventieth birthday celebration?”
The moment Alchemist Yu saw Master Mo, he trembled all over and hurriedly ran up to support Master Mo, asking respectfully, “Master Mo, why have you come?”
It was hard to imagine that just moments ago, he was one of the most distinguished guests at the scene, but now he was like a servant, humbly following Master Mo.
Madam Jiang’s mouth was wide open, as big as an egg, completely disregarding the dignity of the birthday celebrant. She stood up trembling and said, “Master Mo, it’s an honor for you to grace my birthday banquet with your presence. I’m deeply honored!”
At this moment, Madam Jiang was almost moved to tears. She never expected that her birthday banquet would attract Master Mo. This was a tremendous honor, something that could be recorded in the Jiang Family’s history.
In contrast, Master Mo was much calmer. He nodded slightly at Madam Jiang and smiled faintly, “I came to congratulate Madam Jiang on her birthday.”
Madam Jiang was almost in tears of joy. She trembled and asked, “Was it my two unworthy sons who invited the master? It’s an honor for the Jiang Family to have you here!”
“Your sons?”
Master Mo frowned, then realized who Madam Jiang was referring to. He shook his head and said gently, “Madam Jiang, you misunderstand.”
Misunderstand?
It wasn’t Otto Jiang and Robert Jiang who invited Master Mo?
Madam Jiang was stunned. Then who could it be?
“I am an old friend of your household’s Terra Su, Young Master Su. Upon learning of Madam Jiang’s birthday banquet, I came uninvited.”
Master Mo said with a smile, his gaze passing over Madam Jiang to nod at Terra Su in the distance.
Terra Su?
Master Mo came for Terra Su?
Everyone looked at each other in disbelief. Did they hear that right?
“Ahem…”
Terra Su coughed lightly, feeling a bit helpless. This old man was too enthusiastic. Knowing that he was staying with the Jiang Family, he came all the way to attend Madam Jiang’s birthday banquet to give him face.
Naturally, Master Mo wouldn’t reveal in front of everyone that Terra Su was the honorary guest elder “Master Dust” of the Alchemy Guild. However, his respect and admiration for Terra Su were evident.
Terra Su was both touched by Master Mo’s humility and a bit exasperated. The old man didn’t even check whether his relationship with Madam Jiang was good or bad before coming.
Moreover, it seemed that Master Mo intended to take out a gift from his sleeve to give to Madam Jiang.
Before Terra Su could say anything, Master Mo had already taken out a delicate brocade box from his sleeve: “I came in a hurry and didn’t prepare a proper gift. Here is a freshly refined Dragon-Tiger Blood Pill as a birthday gift for Madam Jiang.”
Dragon-Tiger Blood Pill!
The entire banquet hall erupted in astonishment!
“The Dragon-Tiger Blood Pill is an extremely rare elixir that can greatly enhance a martial practitioner’s physical constitution and strengthen their body. Especially for older martial practitioners, it can invigorate their bodily functions and even prolong life.”
“This Dragon-Tiger Blood Pill is usually impossible to buy on the market. Even if one occasionally appears, it costs tens of thousands of silver taels. However, those are usually inferior products, incomparable to one personally refined by Master Mo.”
“Madam Jiang is truly fortunate to receive a Dragon-Tiger Blood Pill personally gifted by Master Mo.”
Madam Jiang was already trembling with joy, trying hard to maintain her composure.
“Thank you, Master Mo, for the elixir!”
At this moment, she completely forgot her previous conflicts with Terra Su, her eyes filled with greed, fixated only on the dazzling Dragon-Tiger Blood Pill in Master Mo’s hand.
She extended her hands, just about to receive the Dragon-Tiger Blood Pill from Master Mo.
Suddenly, a cold voice rang out from the hall:
“Hold on!”
