The Old Lady arrived at Xuntian Mansion for her birthday banquet, a grand affair with elaborate preparations and opulent decor. While guests awaited her arrival and the start of the festivities, she insisted on waiting for some important guests. These guests were revealed to be her grandchildren, returning from an Immortal Trial, and their arrival was heralded by spectacular celestial phenomena.

After these youths descended from the sky.

They began to kneel and bow toward the Old Lady's position.

"Wishing Madam a grand celebration, as lush as the pine and cypress, evergreen from year to year, with the longevity of the southern mountains, and blessed with long life and good fortune."

In terms of generations, the Old Lady could already be their grandmother.

But the Old Lady looked too young.

No different from a young woman in her twenties.

So when these youths offered their congratulations, they addressed her as Madam, not Grandmother.

It is said this is because the Old Lady doesn't like being called that.

It seems to make her feel old in appearance.

Many do not know the Old Lady's name, but previously Jiang Shoutian had mentioned, the Old Lady's surname seems to be Qiu.

At that time, just call her Mrs. Qiu.

Seeing all these younger generations had arrived, the Old Lady nodded slightly.

She seemed very pleased and said, "Guests have arrived, let the feast begin."

With these words, countless people immediately started to busy themselves.

Suddenly, countless rare treasures were served on plates, one after another.

Firstly, these rare treasures were all extraordinary.

Even Phoenix Heart Dragon Gall was nothing remarkable here.

The various ingredients were at least ten thousand years old.

Every ingredient was cooked to perfection.

Even Xu Zimei, it was his first time experiencing such a longevity banquet.

The dishes served seemed to exude celestial phenomena.

For example, there was a dish called Deer Antler Blood Soup.

When this dish was served, you could see a divine deer galloping through heaven and earth, in a lush forest, with a rain of blood falling.

The food transformed into illusions, and the heavens came to celebrate.

Almost every ingredient had its own unique visions.

You could see various illusions manifest on the table.

Not to mention Xu Zimei, even within Xuntian Mansion, others encountered such transformative ingredients for the first time.

At this moment, Xu Zimei noticed his sleeve being tugged.

He turned back to see Shen Baizhi standing right next to him.

The other was the Saintess of the Zhou Di Clan.

She had been sitting with her clan's table all along.

Xu Zimei frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"

"I told my father I wanted to sit at your table, isn't that okay?" Shen Baizhi replied crisply.

As she spoke, she did not wait for Xu Zimei's consent and sat down next to him.

Xu Zimei glanced toward the Zhou Di clan's direction.

Shen Baizhi's father appeared to be a very kind and benevolent middle-aged man.

He nodded slightly towards Xu Zimei.

It was considered a greeting.

Xu Zimei also felt quite baffled.

He knew that previously, the Zhou Di Clan was very against the marriage contract between him and Shen Baizhi.

They even went so far as to break off the engagement with the Xuntian Clan.

But unexpectedly, there was a sudden change in their attitude now.

Not only Shen Baizhi, it seemed that the high-level members of the Zhou Di Clan had also tacitly approved this matter.

"What kind of birthday gift did you prepare for Mrs. Qiu?" Shen Baizhi asked beside him.

Xu Zimei was too lazy to bother with her.

However, Shen Baizhi seemed to have a lot to say.

She continued, "My father's intention is for our two families to present the birthday gifts together.

At that time, the elders from both families will ask for a marriage alliance for us."

"If the Old Lady nods in approval, perhaps we will have a chance to enter the Heaven and Earth Clan."

Shen Baizhi seemed quite straightforward and couldn't hide anything.

So Xu Zimei was able to gather some information from her words.

For example, this marriage contract.

Normally, the marriage contract between the two of them wouldn't require the Old Lady's consent.

As long as the elders of both families agreed, it would be fine.

But why did the elders of both families insist on wishing the Old Lady to bless the marriage?

It was because the two families hoped that with the Old Lady's backing, the two might have a chance to enter the Heaven and Earth Clan in the future.

Upon hearing this, Xu Zimei asked.

"I remember your father and them not liking me before, why the sudden change?" Xu Zimei asked.

Shen Baizhi said, "I don't know either, when I proposed being with you before, my father and they strongly opposed it.

They even locked me up, forbidding me from contacting you."

"But yesterday, they suddenly changed their attitude, even encouraging me to approach you."

Upon hearing this, Xu Zimei let out a cold chuckle.

The Zhou Di Clan probably learned about the event of life and death combat yesterday.

So they acknowledged him, believing he had been disguising himself all along, thus agreeing to it.

After all, if his strength was indeed formidable, then the future Clan Leader of the Xuntian Clan really could be him.

But Xu Zimei could only say, they had miscalculated.

Unfortunately, he was no longer Jiang Rui.

After today, many might issue a bounty on him.

Even the entire Xuntian Clan might go mad.

"Hey, what do you think of what I said earlier?" Shen Baizhi continued to ask.

"Nothing much, I'm not interested in you," Xu Zimei said directly.

"Why are you not interested in me?" Shen Baizhi seemed a little unyielding.

"I don't care, you must be with me, or I'll go to the Old Lady and accuse you.

Saying you abandoned me after winning my favor."

"In today's setting, dare you speak nonsense, can you bear the consequences?" Xu Zimei asked lightly.

Facing the Old Lady, it was evident that both the Xuntian and Zhou Di Clans were very cautious.

They even wished to give all they had to the Old Lady.

Hoping to gain favor from the Old Lady.

So if Shen Baizhi dared to make trouble, the Zhou Di Clan couldn't protect her.

But Xu Zimei never expected, Shen Baizhi was somewhat headstrong.

She looked at Xu Zimei and said, "I, this young lady, am not afraid."

"I dare, let's see if you dare."

Xu Zimei felt a headache coming on.

His strategy today was to be low-key.

Not attracting anyone's attention.

If he could sneak into the back mountains, figuring out the truth was most important.

So he didn't want to bring about any unexpected events.

Seeing Shen Baizhi's attitude of not caring about mutual destruction, Xu Zimei could only wave his hand.

He said, "Alright, the matter between the two of us is for the adults to decide, I will not oppose it."

Upon hearing Xu Zimei say this, Shen Baizhi finally sat down proudly.

Like a triumphant peacock.

Xu Zimei shook his head helplessly.

Next, as the ingredients were gradually served at the table.

The people present began to present birthday gifts.

The place for the birthday gifts was right in front of the table.

This table was not far from the Old Lady's position.

Moreover, some recorded and even reported on the gifts presented.

One might say, the Old Lady knew well who gifted what.

This also made some people anxious.

Those prepared with gifts, wanted to stand out.

While those with poor gifts feared being blamed.

Xu Zimei took the opportunity to ask, "What gift did you prepare?"

"A Yin Treasure," Shen Baizhi said.

"My father and they prepared it for me, it's said to be excellent, but I don't really understand."
