Sofia laughed loudly.
"Sofia Sister, what are you laughing about?"
Ye Yashi looked at Sofia with a puzzled face.
"Sofia Sister, what does this mean exactly? Please tell me!"
Ye Yashi tugged at Sofia’s hand, coquettishly urging her.
Sofia was about to speak when Xiao Yifeng coughed loudly a few times.
"I have something else to attend to, so I’ll be leaving now. When you get a boyfriend, you will naturally understand what this means."
Sofia said with a smile as she walked towards the exit, throwing a special glance at Xiao Yifeng as she passed by him.
By now, Ye Yaxin had also realized what Ye Yashi meant, her face flushed with embarrassment as she hurriedly left the place and ran into her room, covering her face.
Even Xiao Yifeng looked somewhat awkward. They had played too wildly last night, and he hadn’t noticed that his little aunt had been eavesdropping outside. Fortunately, the little aunt was naive and didn’t understand what was going on; otherwise, it would have been extremely embarrassing.
At that moment, Xiao Yifeng’s phone rang, and upon answering, he heard Gu Qingcheng’s voice on the other end.
"Hello, I know, don’t worry, I’ll definitely be there on time!"
Xiao Yifeng spoke indifferently, knowing that Gu Qingcheng had called him simply to remind him not to forget her grandfather’s birthday celebration.
The Gu Family home was now festively decorated, the entire courtyard filled with tables and adorned with red characters for ’longevity’ everywhere.
"Who was Qingcheng calling?"
Just after Gu Qingcheng hung up, the voice of her father, Gu Chengde, surprised her from behind.
"Father, you startled me. I was calling a friend to invite him to Grandpa’s birthday celebration!"
Gu Qingcheng explained.
"A male friend or a female friend? But judging by your expression, it must be a male friend."
Gu Chengde looked at Gu Qingcheng.
"Qingcheng, you’ve been training at Tianyin Sect for so many years. Do you still have any male friends in Yanjing? Moreover, someone you’d call personally... I think this male friend of yours is not a simple acquaintance."
"Tell me, is it your boyfriend? If you’ve really found a boyfriend and even brought him here, your Grandpa’s birthday today will surely be a very joyous one."
Gu Chengde spoke as he watched Gu Qingcheng.
"Father, don’t talk nonsense. He’s just a friend. Alright, I still have other things to do, I have to get busy."
Gu Qingcheng hurriedly left after speaking, while Gu Chengde’s mouth curled into a slight smile.
In the blink of an eye, it was 11 a.m., and guests began to arrive at the Gu Family home one after another. The major clans of Yanjing, along with military and business dignitaries, were all visiting in succession.
About eighty percent of the power figures in Yanjing’s upper society had already arrived, including members from the other seven major clans, and with the older generation almost entirely in attendance, it was a rare grand occasion.
By the time Xiao Yifeng, clad in his usual casual attire that hadn’t changed for a thousand years, arrived, he was stopped at the entrance to the Gu Family residence.
"Sir, please present your invitation!"
The Gu Family guard addressed Xiao Yifeng very politely.
Xiao Yifeng’s expression turned blank. Gu Qingcheng had only invited him to attend her grandfather’s birthday celebration but hadn’t provided him with an invitation. Wasn’t this a set-up?
"I am invited by your Miss, just ask her and she will know."
Xiao Yifeng looked at the guard and spoke directly.
The guard’s eyes held a trace of suspicion as he looked at Xiao Yifeng.
Dressed , yet claiming to know their young miss, it was indeed hard not to be doubtful.
"Kid, if you don’t have an invitation, you don’t have one, so stop pretending you know Miss Gu. You really have some nerve. I don’t know how my brother ever acknowledged you as boss."
At this moment, a voice filled with sarcasm sounded from behind Xiao Yifeng.
Xiao Yifeng turned around and saw Qian Wufu with Qian Youwei, appearing there. The one who had just spoken was Qian Youwei, looking at Xiao Yifeng with a mocking face.
"What does it matter to you whether I’m pretending or not?"
Xiao Yifeng hummed coldly.
"Some people think they are so great, shamelessly showing up at Old Master Gu’s birthday banquet."
Another sarcastic voice rose; the Situ family had arrived. Situ Yunhai sat in a wheelchair, his gaze icy as he looked at Xiao Yifeng.
"It seems Second Young Master Situ can’t keep still even in a wheelchair. Do you want to end up lying in a coffin alongside Wu Fei?"
A cold glint flashed in Xiao Yifeng’s eyes as he swept his gaze over Situ Yunhai.
Situ Yunhai glared at Xiao Yifeng with a ferocious face, while Situ Yuntian, Situ Cheng, and Situ Lie all directed their gaze at Xiao Yifeng.
"Young man, don’t be too arrogant. The rigid are easily broken!"
Situ Lie’s authoritative voice sounded, his deep gaze fixed on Xiao Yifeng.
"I’m afraid you don’t have the ability to break me!"
Xiao Yifeng sneered contemptuously, a cold light flashing in his eyes.
Situ Lie’s expression turned somewhat somber.
"Xiao Yifeng, you’ve arrived!"
At that moment, Gu Qingcheng walked out from the Gu family home and spoke directly to Xiao Yifeng.
"You’ve come at the right time. Your family’s guard asked me for an invitation, but you didn’t give me one either!"
Xiao Yifeng looked helplessly at Gu Qingcheng and said.
"My apologies, it was my oversight. Please come with me."
Gu Qingcheng’s face bore a trace of regret, and he then led Xiao Yifeng inside. The latter even waved his hand at Qian Youwei and Situ Yunhai as he went, causing both of their expressions to become very ugly and grim.
"There really are a lot of people!"
Entering the Gu residence, Xiao Yifeng looked at the throngs of people around him and commented lightly.
"Find a place to sit. I still have other matters to attend to. Please forgive me for the lack of hospitality!"
Gu Qingcheng said to Xiao Yifeng.
"It’s fine. I’m quite adaptable; I don’t need any special treatment."
Xiao Yifeng shook his head.
Gu Qingcheng nodded and was about to leave when a group of people entered through the Gu family’s main gate. Leading them was Elder Master Xiao, Xiao Yuanshan, dressed in traditional attire, followed by Xiao Ding, Xiao Han, and Situ Qian.
Seeing Xiao Yuanshan, Xiao Yifeng’s expression changed, and his eyes hardened, his demeanor turning somewhat unsightly.
Gu Qingcheng also noticed Xiao Yifeng’s expression, and his gaze shifted to Xiao Yuanshan, his eyes narrowing slightly.
At that moment, Xiao Yuanshan seemed to react as if by bloodline intuition, his gaze sharply turning towards Xiao Yifeng. When his eyes fell on Xiao Yifeng, his body trembled violently, his pupils suddenly contracted, and his face underwent a drastic change.
Xiao Han and Xiao Ding both noticed Xiao Yuanshan’s change, their gazes turning to Xiao Yifeng, with varying expressions on their faces.
