“Oh, First Elder, what’s the matter?” the Fang family’s patriarch hurriedly asked and descended the ladder handed to him by the First Elder. Otherwise, he really didn’t know what to do.
“Patriarch Fang, co over and you’ll know,” the First Elder said with a smile. Then he whispered a few words in the Fang family’s patriarch’s ear, who walked in front of him, and the Fang family’s patriarch returned to his seat obediently.
“Hehe, Brother Wu, your daughter played this ‘Phoenix Seeking Phoenix’ really well! I hope your daughter’s wish will co true and find a good husband as soon as possible!” At this mont, a patriarch started flattering Wu Ming again.
“Hehe, that’s too much. As the saying goes, there’s always soone better. Qian’er’s tune might be passable, but which of the daughters who ca to participate in the competition this year aren’t talented people? Therefore, I really don’t dare to be arrogant!” Wu Ming said with slight modesty, but the smugness on his face couldn’t be concealed.
“Patriarch Wu is too modest. With Miss Wu’s talent, winning the championship is a matter of course,” another patriarch echoed.
“Yes! Hehe, actually, we can’t just congratulate the Wu family head, we have to congratulate the Guan Yue family head too!” A patriarch of a middle-class family brought up the topic. Moreover, he didn’t realize that his words had already displeased soone.
“What does it have to do with ?” Guan Yue Long said irritably with a black face.
“Uh! If Miss Wu wins the championship, she will be the young madam of your Guan Yue family, so of course we have to congratulate you, Patriarch Guan Yue,” the patriarch explained. However, after speaking, he realized that most of the patriarchs were looking at him as if they were watching a good show. No one wanted to echo him at all. What was going on?
This was the first ti he was qualified to participate in the Flower appreciation festival this year, so he was not aware of the entanglent between Guan Yue Long and Wu Ming. Otherwise, he would not have said such words at all. However, he was rejected by the Guan Yue Long family from then on because he thought he wanted to curry favor with the two families. The only Flower appreciation festival did not achieve his desired goal because no family was willing to befriend him after angering him. After all, basically all the top families followed Guan Yue Long’s lead.
“Are you so sure that Wu Qian’er will win the championship?” Guan Yue Long narrowed his eyes and said lightly.
“Of course. Many patriarchs think highly of the Wu family’s young miss,” the patriarch said matter-of-factly. He had privately chatted with so patriarchs before the flower viewing convention began. Most of the patriarchs supported Wu Qian’er, so he was so sure that Wu Yi would definitely win the championship.
“I don’t think so!” Guan Yue Long rolled his eyes at Wu Ming and said without giving him any face.
“Uh!” The patriarch was a little dumbfounded. What was going on? He could sense that sothing was amiss even if he was slow. Moreover, he happened to see the gloating expressions of many patriarchs, and his heart turned cold. Boohoo… Did he say sothing wrong again?
Everyone didn’t dare to speak because Guan Yue Long was a little angry, so the atmosphere instantly beca depressed.
After a while, finally, a patriarch couldn’t stand the oppressive atmosphere and said bravely, “Why isn’t Young Master Guan Yue here?”
“Xi’er has sothing more important to do and hasn’t rushed back yet,” Guan Yue Long said lightly. Alas! In fact, he knew very well that Xi’er had run out because he didn’t want to participate in the flower appreciation festival. It was a little unreasonable not to participate in the flower appreciation festival as the young master of the Guan Yue family, but he could still find a suitable excuse for his son.
“What is more important than the flower appreciation festival?” a patriarch said in disbelief, his face full of disapproval.
“Xi’er went to the Alchemist Association to obtain the reward for the champion of this year’s Flower appreciation festival. He’ll be back in a few days,” Guan Yuelong explained calmly. Hmph! You can’t say anything about this reason, right? The prize for the champion of the Flower Viewing Convention is a Heaven Grade pill nad the Hundred Flower Pill. The Hundred Flower Pill has the effect of beautifying and beautifying. No woman can refuse it at all. However, ordinary won can’t afford the Hundred Flower Pill because refining the Hundred Flower Pill requires more than a hundred famous flowers and herbs as the main ingredient. Not only does it take ti and effort, but only alchemists can refine it. Therefore, the cost of one Hundred Flower Pill is extrely high, and one Hundred Flower Pill on the market can be sold for a sky-high price.
“Oh, no wonder!” The patriarch nodded in understanding.
“May I know if Young Master Yue from the Daoist Temple can rush back before the Flower appreciation festival ends?” Wu Ming asked casually.
“Of course you can,” Guan Yue Long said confidently. Hmph! Xi’er promised him that he would return before the flower viewing convention ended.
“But why did I hear that Young Master Guan Yue only left ho for three to four days? It took nearly a month to travel from Guan Yue City to Carefree City. Can Young Master Guan Yue really make it back in ti?” Wu Ming said with a spurious smile.
“Patriarch Wu, could it be that you burned your head because you fell into the toilet? My Xi’er has obviously been away for almost a month. How is it three or four days like you said! You rembered it wrong,” Guan Yu Long lied through his teeth, and even revealed the embarrassing matter of Wu Ming falling into the toilet in public…
“You…” Wu Ming was so angry that he couldn’t say anything. Damn Guan Yuelong, how dare he say this matter. Hmph! He wouldn’t let this old thing go. He would definitely have the chance to get rid of Guan Yue Long when his precious daughter beca the young madam of the Guan Yue family, so he could only bear with it now.
“Wow! Seems like the rumors are true!” The patriarchs couldn’t help whispering when they heard Guan Yue Long’s words. There had been rumors on the streets these two days that the Wu family’s patriarch had fallen into the toilet. However, they had always thought that soone was being malicious. However, after hearing Guan Yue Long’s words today, they were sure that it was true! Imdiately, the patriarchs looked at Wu Ming with a hint of gloating and pity.
Wu Ming’s face beca as colorful as a color palette when he saw the strange gazes of the patriarchs. However, he couldn’t flare up on the spot, so he could only swallow his anger.. If he really beca angry because of Guan Yue Long’s words, then it would probably beco even more true!
