Today, there are lanterns and colorful lights everywhere on Lingxiao Mountain, and there are dragons and phoenixes in the sky in all directions, with thousands of auspicious colors.
From the moment the sun rose, emperors from all walks of life under Jian County and prominent power leaders from hundreds of counties started shouting and almost crushing the threshold at the foot of Lingxiao Mountain, just to celebrate the birthday of Clumsy Sword Dao Lord.
When it was time for the main banquet, the entire Lingxiao Mountain was filled with banquets, and the occasion was unprecedented.
Just the birthday gifts prepared by various parties for Lord Clumsy Sword took up an entire hall and there was no room for it, which shows Lord Clumsy Sword's prestige and deep love.
At the Sword God Palace on the top of Lingxiao Mountain, Lord Clumsy Sword and the direct descendants of the Chu family were standing at the door, personally receiving the visiting guests one after another.
And those who can be welcomed by Lord Clumsy Sword in person and who are qualified to take a seat in this Sword God Palace are naturally the Taoist Lords from all walks of life.
There are ninety-seven seats in the Sword God Palace today, which is exactly the same number of Tao Lords attending the banquet today.
Except for the Dao Lords, even the direct descendants of the Chu family, or the family members and entourage brought by the Dao Lords from all sides, are not eligible to enter the palace and can only sit in the square outside the palace.
As the birthday approached, Taoist Lords came one after another. After greeting the Clumsy Sword Lord at the door, they gave birthday gifts and stepped into the hall.
Lord Clumsy Sword smiled from beginning to end and seemed to be in a good mood today.
This good mood lasted until more than half of the seats in the hall were filled, when Gu Chen arrived with Daojun Jinwu and Daojun Yu.
As soon as he saw Gu Chen, the smile on Mr. Zhuo Jianjun's face naturally disappeared, and Chu Meixin, who was behind him, immediately lowered her head when she saw Gu Chen from a distance.
As for Chu Meixin's parents and other relatives, they all looked at Gu Chen with a somewhat unkind look, with anger hidden on their faces.
Awkward.
Gu Chen felt something was wrong in the atmosphere from a distance, but he could only bite the bullet and walked to Lord Clumsy Sword.
"Junior Gu Chen, I wish Lord Zhuojian to be as blessed as the East Sea and live as long as the Southern Mountains."
Gu Chen spoke and at the same time handed over the gift he had carefully prepared with both hands.
Looking past the Clumsy Sword Lord, Gu Chen immediately saw Chu Meixin. Although she lowered her head, Gu Chen still saw that her eyes were red and swollen, as if she had been crying for a long time last night.
Gu Chen sighed secretly in his heart, no wonder all the Chu family looked hostile to him.
He and Chu Meixin were friends at first, but now in this situation, they may not even be friends.
"Since ancient times, countless worlds have been destroyed, and I am still alive, but you wish me to live as long as the mountains and seas. Isn't that a curse on me?"
Lord Clumsy Sword got angry when he saw Gu Chen, especially when he knew that his precious granddaughter cried all night last night, and his anger could not be suppressed.
Gu Chen's birthday greetings were very common, but now he was finding fault with them.
Lord Choujian's indifference, the Chu family's anger, and even Chu Meixin's wrongdoing could not escape the eyes of a group of Dao Lords.
"What's going on? Isn't Fellow Clumsy Sword Daoist on good terms with Overlord?"
Some Dao Lords who were already seated in the hall had their eyes flickering and started whispering.
"Oops."
Daojun Jinwu and Daojun Yu, who came with Gu Chen, stood there awkwardly, with a wry smile on their lips.
Early in the morning when they went to look for Gu Chen and set off together, Gu Chen told them what happened.
Although they felt that the situation was very bad, it was not easy to break off the relationship with Gu Chen directly at this time, otherwise even he would be offended.
Therefore, when they came over bravely, they also encountered the cold face of Lord Clumsy Sword.
"It was Gu who made a mistake just now. I wish Lord Zhuojian to live as long as heaven and earth."
Gu Chen maintained his self-restraint and kept the same gesture of handing out the gift with both hands.
Lord Choujian snorted coldly when he heard this, said nothing more, and let the Chu family behind him take the gift without even looking at it.
"You three, please come in."
He said, finally letting Gu Chen and his group pass.
Feng Yaya and the other three were led by the Chu family to sit in the square outside the palace, while Gu Chen, Daojun Jinwu and Daojun Yu entered the main hall together.
"You just sit here."
Outside the palace, Feng Yaya and the other three were taken to a corner of the square and sat down. The Chu family who led the way didn't have a good temper, so they turned around and left after speaking.
"Is this Chu family too stingy?" Feng Yaya couldn't help complaining, feeling a little angry in her heart.
"The Chu family is a top-notch family in the Chaos Sea. Naturally, they care about face. The leader rejected the engagement. With their arrogance, it's good that they didn't drive them away." His Holiness Qingcang shook his head.
"No matter what, he is still the host, but it is disrespectful to do so. Uncle Gu also said that Lord Clumsy Sword will not make things difficult for him, which is great. I wonder if he will be isolated and bullied inside?"
Feng Yaya's eyes were full of worry and she wished she could go into the palace to accompany Gu Chen.
"The leader is a person who has experienced big storms. This small problem is nothing to him, so don't worry about it."
Wuming said casually, looking at the guests at other tables in the square.
Many Dao Lords had arrived in the main hall, but the occupancy rate in the square was lower than he expected.
Especially young talented monks seem to be rare.
He didn't think too much, he paid more attention to the direction of the Sword God Palace and was always ready.
In the Sword God Palace, Gu Chen indeed encountered the isolation situation that Feng Yaya was worried about.
Originally, because of the relationship with Master Zhuojian and Gu Chen's achievements in the outside world, many Dao Lords wanted to make friends with him today.
Even before he came, everyone was still thinking about how to make friends with him.
However, after the attitude of Lord Clumsy Sword towards him at the door fell into the eyes of all the Tao Lords, they all gave up their original thoughts.
Kuang Dao Lord has a grudge against Overlord, Qin Dao Lord has a normal attitude towards him, and now even Lord Chou Jian has the same attitude. At this juncture, it is better not to have too much contact with Overlord.
God knows what kind of situation the overlord will be in today's meeting!
Many Dao Lords had reservations about Gu Chen, and along with this, Dao Lords Jinwu and Yu Daojun around him were also isolated.
The three of them sat together, and the seats around them were all empty. No Dao Lord approached them or took the initiative to say hello to them. The situation was particularly awkward.
Gu Chen looked at the small movements of many Dao Lords and the glances that glanced at him from time to time. He was too lazy to pay attention to them and simply closed his eyes and meditated silently.
He behaved very calmly and calmly, but in the eyes of Jinwu Daojun and Yu Daojun, they felt the urge to curse.
In their opinion, it was too stupid for Gu Chen to offend Zhuo Jianjun the day before the birthday banquet, especially because he rejected the engagement between the two parties.
It doesn't matter if he suffers alone, now it's better, and their situation has become worrying!
The two Dao Lords communicated secretly, thinking about whether to break off their relationship with Gu Chen at the meeting later. At this time, a tall figure suddenly stepped into the Sword God Palace!
That man carried a strong evil spirit, which was different from other Taoist masters. Gu Chen sensed it and slowly opened his eyes.
