At the banquet of the Patrol Envoy.
"Lord Ye, I am late!" Zhao Yulong bowed with hands clasped.
Wang Shouyi said, "Lord Ye graces us with your presence, it is I who am late, my apologies! I shall drink three cups as penance!"
As soon as his words fell.
Wang Shouyi turned over the overturned wine cup on the table and filled it with wine.
"Gentlemen, please be seated first!" Jiang Ning spoke up.
Ye Zhengqi glanced sideways at Jiang Ning, silent and reserved.
Seeing this, Wang Shouyi and Zhao Yulong immediately showed hesitation on their faces.
Then, Zhao Yulong laughed heartily, "Since the main guest has spoken today, how can we not comply."
As soon as the words fell.
Zhao Yulong was the first to take a seat, and Wang Shouyi followed suit.
After being seated, Wang Shouyi first drank three cups of wine, not spilling a drop.
Seeing this, the displeasure on Ye Zhengqi’s face significantly improved.
He then looked at Zhao Yulong, and under his gaze, a flash of surprise crossed his eyes.
"Master Zhao has comprehended the Unity of Heaven and Man?"
Zhao Yulong replied, "Not fully comprehended, just half a step away!"
"Half a step, is it!" Ye Zhengqi nodded slightly and said, "The last half step is just a matter of opportunity, sooner or later, it will be achieved!"
With that, Ye Zhengqi raised the half-drunk wine cup in his hand.
"Master Zhao, I wish you to soon step into the Realm of Heavenly Human Unity and become a Heavenly Human Grandmaster!"
"Thank you, Lord Ye!" Zhao Yulong also raised his cup and said.
Then, the evening banquet officially began.
Until the last quarter of the Xu hour.
The banquet fully dispersed.
Inside the residence.
"Are everything put away?" Bai Luoyu asked.
"Reporting to Master, everything is put away! Here is Mr. Jiang’s gift list!" A butler with whiskers handed the thick stack of gift lists to Bai Luoyu.
"Brother Jiang, take a look!" Bai Luoyu handed the gift list to Jiang Ning.
"Thanks for the trouble tonight, Brother Bai!" Jiang Ning said.
Bai Luoyu chuckled, "No need to thank between us! These trivial matters are no big deal! I must say, Brother Jiang, you should hire more servants!"
Jiang Ning shook his head, "I prefer things a bit quieter!" Updates are released by ⓝovelFire.net
"You!" Bai Luoyu sighed softly, "You’re just too easygoing! Some things need managing!"
Jiang Ning smiled upon hearing this.
He then opened the gift list in his hand.
As he spread it open with both hands, the thick gift list unfolded into a long piece of cloth.
He quickly scanned it with his eyes and then showed a slight joy on his face.
The Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures from various forces were in plentiful supply, more than he expected, and more valuable too.
"How is it?" Bai Luoyu saw the joy on Jiang Ning’s face and asked with a smile.
"Not bad! It will be helpful to me!" Jiang Ning nodded, folding the gift list.
"Then I won’t disturb you any longer, Brother Jiang, I’ll take my leave!" Bai Luoyu said.
"Alright!" Jiang Ning nodded, "I’ll see Brother Bai off!"
He walked with Bai Luoyu to the avenue leading to the Bai Mansion.
And then they bid farewell to each other.
Returning to the front courtyard.
"Brother, Sister-in-law!" Jiang Ning greeted Jiang Li and Liu Wanwan in the front courtyard.
Then he looked at Little Dumpling by Liu Wanwan’s feet.
Seeing Jiang Ning’s gaze.
Little Dumpling immediately let go of Liu Wanwan’s hand and ran towards Jiang Ning.
Seeing this, Jiang Ning crouched halfway and caught the flying Little Dumpling in his arms.
"Uncle, your clothes are so grand!" Little Dumpling praised.
Jiang Ning smiled and pinched her tiny nose.
Then turned to Jiang Li again.
At this moment, Jiang Li looked at Jiang Ning with mixed emotions.
Although he did not attend Jiang Ning’s Patrol Envoy banquet today.
He had stood outside the Star-picking Tower for a while just now.
Seeing the guests and luxurious carriages.
And at this moment, Liu Wanwan was gazing at the piles of gifts on the ground in the front courtyard, her eyes filled with emotion.
This little brother-in-law of hers was becoming more and more impressive!
The thought flashed through her mind.
"Brother, this outfit really suits you, truly handsome!" Jiang Li praised.
"Indeed! Indeed!" Little Dumpling, held by Jiang Ning with one hand, rubbed Jiang Ning’s neck and nodded repeatedly, "Uncle looks so grand in these clothes!!"
Liu Wanwan also looked Jiang Ning up and down and then nodded.
"Ah Ning is very handsome, just hasn’t found a wife yet, causing some worry!"
Speaking of this, Liu Wanwan’s eyes lit up.
"Ah Ning, now that you’ve achieved success, why don’t I help arrange your marriage? You’re not getting any younger!"
Hearing this, Jiang Ning immediately felt a headache.
He quickly put down Little Dumpling.
"Brother, Sister-in-law, I have things to do, you take Little Dumpling back! The night is cold, don’t let Little Dumpling catch a cold."
Watching Jiang Ning’s seemingly hasty retreat.
Jiang Li immediately felt a headache.
His brother was perfectly fine, except for this matter which troubled him most.
Liu Wanwan chuckled, patting her husband.
"Brother Li, you needn’t worry so much, hasn’t Ah Ning attracted quite a few beautiful girls?"
"Moreover, I heard Ah Ning had an agreement with a lady before!"
"I know her!" Jiang Li said, "I heard she’s a princess from the Imperial Family. Although Ah Ning has achieved much, marrying an imperial princess is beyond him! And for a family as ordinary as ours, marrying a princess would be more trouble than it’s worth!"
Liu Wanwan shook her head.
"Brother Li, you underestimate Ah Ning in this regard! Given Ah Ning’s future, marrying a princess would be no problem at all!"
"Think about it! Ah Ning is so young and has already reached this far!"
"Give him another ten or eight years, who knows what achievements he’ll make!"
Jiang Ning, returning to his courtyard, ran into Lv Yi holding bed sheets.
"Young Master!" Lv Yi quickly stepped back, giving space.
