Chapter 207 Birthday Banquet
"Hurry up, everyone, be careful. Today is the eldest lady's birthday. Everyone in the mansion must be very careful. No mistakes are allowed!"
"Yes, Butler Ye."
"By the way, pass on the order. The head of the family has ordered that for the eldest lady's birthday, a banquet will be held for all the people in the city. Even those without a fixed place to stay can collect gold coins from the Ye family warehouse to spend the coming New Year. Move quickly and carefully."
"Yes, Butler Ye."
The entire Ye Mansion was covered with window grilles inside and out, making it particularly lively, and the red festive atmosphere was no different from the New Year.
Ye Wanqing likes quietness and doesn't like being served, so she only has Huan Wu, who takes care of her soul, by her side.
Over the past few days, Huan Wu's temperament has gradually become more lively and active. "Miss, why don't you try this dress? The master of the family specially ordered someone to buy this dress at the Treasure Auction House. The bright red color is very eye-catching, and it suits you very well."
"Oh, and this one too. This indigo dress was just sent over this morning by the eldest young master. The fabric and quality are similar to the one the master sent. They're both beautiful new styles. Which one would you choose, young lady?"
Seeing Huan Wu's increasingly hopeful eyes, Ye Wanqing pursed her lips and waved her hand casually, "You go out first. I have something to take care of."
"Yes, Miss."
Ye Wanqing looked at the numerous rouge, powder, hairpins and outer clothes on the dressing table. Her eyes flickered slightly and a wry smile flashed across her face.
It turns out that in addition to my junior brothers and sisters, I also have someone who can celebrate my birthday with me.
When she was distracted, the crystal chain that was originally hanging on Ye Wanqing's chest suddenly flashed with a strange light. She came back to her senses and played with the crystal in her hand carefully. Her eyes flashed slightly and her thoughts gradually drifted away.
Why did Di Siheng suddenly go into seclusion? Even abandoning the Demon Realm and Yu Bao? Was it really just because he was about to ascend to another level?
Suddenly, space rippled slightly, and Sikong appeared in the courtyard, half-kneeling before Ye Wanqing. "Miss Ye, I have searched through all the records of factions in the Demon Realm and have not found a single faction with the surname 'Wen'."
Ye Wanqing's eyes flickered slightly, "Okay, I understand."
Seeing that Sikong was a little hesitant and looked a little embarrassed.
Ye Wanqing raised an eyebrow, "What's wrong?"
Si Kong took out a gift from the space and presented it with both hands, "Miss Ye, this is the birthday gift that Si Zhou and I prepared for you. I wish you a happy birthday."
Ye Wanqing raised an eyebrow at the storage ring Sikong handed over. It was filled with the cores of high-level spirit beasts and high-level demon beasts.
"In that case, thank you very much. By the way, the Magic Spirit Fruit has matured a lot recently. You and Si Zhou should divide it up. It may be hard for you during this period."
Sikong's eyes lit up, and he gladly accepted the dozens of Magic Fruits that Ye Wanqing handed over. "Thank you, Miss Ye. I will definitely fulfill my mission."
Sikong hid in the dark again.
At this moment, Huan Wu's voice came from outside the house again, "Miss, the guests in the mansion have arrived. The head of the family and the eldest young master are waiting for you."
"Well, I see."
Ye Wanqing finally chose the crimson dress prepared by Ye Ting. In Ye Ting's words, occasionally wearing a bright dress will let people know who is the protagonist of the venue. The hairpin on her head was also the one that Di Siheng gave her.
Ye's front hall
"Happy birthday, Miss Ye."
"Ms. Ye is not only stunningly beautiful, but also incredibly powerful. The head of the Ye family is truly blessed. I wonder if Miss Ye has a suitable marriage partner. Although the man in my family is not talented, he is also..."
"Yes, yes, my man is also very handsome, and he and Miss Ye are destined to be together. I wonder if you, Master Ye, could introduce them to each other."
Ye Ting had already seen through the little schemes of those old stubborn people, but he was just too lazy to flatter them.
"Today is Wan'er's birthday, so let's not talk about that for now. Besides, Wan'er is still young, and I plan to keep her by my side for a few more years."
"Miss Ye is here!"
I don't know who suddenly shouted, and the originally noisy scene suddenly became quiet. Everyone looked at the crimson figure walking towards them not far away, and they all couldn't help but gasp.
Although they all knew that Ye Wanqing was stunningly beautiful, they were used to seeing her in elegant indigo clothing. Now seeing her in the more dazzling crimson color, she looked even more radiant and charming. She was not wearing any makeup, yet she was dazzling beyond compare.
Wearing a bright red dress, she looks like a blooming peony, or a phoenix girl reborn from the ashes.
Jiang Xu was extremely bored, especially when he saw those old guys discussing Ye Wanqing's marriage with the head of the Ye family and Ye Jingzhan in a fawning manner, he just felt irritated.
It was not until he saw Ye Wanqing that the feeling of boredom in his heart quietly dissipated. Those ordinary men were naturally not worthy of his bright and beautiful master.
"Little sister."
"Master."
Jiang Xu and Ye Jingzhan's voices rang out at the same time, becoming even more distinct in this already silent atmosphere.
"Master, this is the birthday gift I prepared. Master, happy birthday."
"Happy birthday, little sister."
Jiang Xu used his mermaid scales as a vessel and, with the blessing of his mermaid tears, smelted a crystal stone similar to the mermaid's tears, which could mobilize some of the power of the ocean.
Ye Jingzhan went deep into the seabed of Nanyou, killed dozens of sea beasts in a row, and picked the rarest water-attributed divine-level herbs as gifts.
Counting the birthday gifts Ye Wanqing received today, there were countless rare treasures of all kinds. Representatives from all the major families in the Three Kingdoms and the royal families of the Three Kingdoms were sent.
It was clearly just a birthday party, but it brought together all the famous families in the Three Kingdoms, and also demonstrated to the world the power behind the Ye family.
Uncle Master Mu Qing from Yueyi Kingdom came in person. Ye Wanqing's eyes flickered slightly as she saw a hint of red in the corner of his eyes. Her heart moved, and she led her uncle Master to the backyard alone.
Mu Qing observed Ye Wanqing's current aura and nodded slightly. "Wan'er, Uncle Master is very happy. Even in the Cang Qiong Continent, you still have many family and friends by your side."
A dazed look flashed across Ye Wanqing's eyes. "If Master, my fellow disciples and sisters were still here, it would be even better."
Seeing the strange look in Ye Wanqing's eyes, Mu Qing's heart moved, and a glint of certainty flashed in his eyes. "Wan'er, are you about to prepare to go to the Heavenly Spirit Realm?"
"Yes, after the New Year."
Mu Qing felt the divine power surrounding Ye Wanqing. Her spiritual cultivation was clearly far from reaching her peak, but her aura and dignity had already surpassed those of the past. He sighed softly.
"Wan'er, do you really want to go? Actually, this kind of life is pretty good now. Do you remember what your master always told you? He just wants you to be happy and worry-free."
Ye Wanqing remained silent, immersed in her own thoughts.
Mu Qing didn't know what was on his mind. A flash of heartache crossed his eyes. He suddenly stood up and patted Ye Wanqing's shoulder. "It's okay. No matter what your final choice is, your uncle will support you."
As soon as he finished speaking, something strange happened, and two gift boxes suddenly appeared in front of Ye Wanqing.
"Wan'er, Uncle Master wishes you a happy birthday."
Ye Wanqing didn't know what she saw. She stood up suddenly, her hands began to tremble, and the corners of her eyes were faintly red.
"Is this... the Imperial Spirit Flute?"
When Ye Wanqing was young, she accidentally saw the art of sound attack while studying spiritual cultivation. The book recorded that a thousand years ago, there was a family that used sound as an attack, but the power was stronger than spiritual power, and was even comparable to divine power.
At that time, she was also very interested in sound attack, but her master advised her not to learn it for the time being, because sound attack required extremely high levels of mysterious equipment and mental strength, and among the many artifacts, only the Yuling Flute ranked seventh was the most suitable for sound attack.
However, the Yuling Flute disappeared a thousand years ago and its whereabouts are still unknown, so the matter of learning sound attack was also shelved. However, at that time, the master promised him that he would give him a mysterious weapon suitable for sound attack on his nineteenth birthday.
Only she and her master knew about this.
Ye Wanqing's eyes were bloodshot. She carefully touched the Yuling flute, feeling the power it emanated. Her eyes flickered slightly, and she choked out a sob, "Uncle-shi, did Master come to see you?"
