Chapter 303 A Grand Feast
Three days later.
The Prince of Zhenbei's Mansion held a grand banquet.
First, to celebrate Lin Nianjun's third day; second, to celebrate Lin Chen's breakthrough to the status of a terrestrial immortal.
Double happiness has arrived, and no one can say anything about it.
The banquet stretched from the entrance of the Prince's Mansion all the way to the end of the street, lasting for three days and three nights.
Whether it's relatives and friends, court officials, various forces, or heroes of the martial arts world.
All who come are guests; sit down and there will be wine and food.
It's fine if ordinary people come; there are people at the entrance who will hand out small gifts.
A red envelope containing a few taels of silver, for good luck.
Of course, Lin Chen received even more congratulatory gifts.
Gold and silver jewelry filled three warehouses, and there were countless other strange and unusual items.
Yuan Tiangang and Zhuge Liang were so busy that they barely had time to breathe. One was keeping accounts, and the other was putting things into the warehouse. They were both exhausted.
Lin Chen would occasionally go out to show his face, offer a few drinks, and then slip back to the backyard.
Bai Mei and his group arrived on the first day of the banquet.
They brought a generous gift—nine fist-sized, top-grade spirit stones, crystal clear and faintly glowing.
Lin Chen took the spirit stone, sensed the spiritual energy inside, and his eyes lit up.
"Senior White Eyebrows, isn't this far too precious?"
These are top-grade spirit stones; they're rare even in the Central Continent.
Not to mention, in the remote Eastern Region, which only produces low-grade spirit stones.
White-browed stroked his beard and said with a smile:
"It's nothing valuable, nothing valuable. The Prince of Zhenbei is overjoyed, and we old folks will do our part to express our gratitude."
Lin Chen accepted the spirit stones without ceremony and invited the group to take their seats.
After several rounds of drinks and five courses of food,
Bai Mei held his wine glass, looking at Lin Chen with a complex expression.
"Prince Zhenbei, I toast you."
Lin Chen smiled and clinked glasses with him:
"You're too kind, Senior White Eyebrows."
After finishing his drink, Bai Mei put down his glass and suddenly lowered his voice:
"Prince Zhenbei, tell me honestly, what is your cultivation level?"
Lin Chen blinked:
"A mid-stage terrestrial immortal, didn't you see that?"
Bai Mei stared intently at Lin Chen, his gaze sharp and piercing.
"Your unusual phenomenon doesn't seem like it's from the middle stage."
Lin Chen smiled:
"Perhaps it's due to exceptional talent."
White Eyebrows: "..."
There's no way to respond to that.
Yun Yao leaned closer, her eyes sparkling:
"Prince Zhenbei, how did you achieve that extraordinary breakthrough? Could you tell me?"
Lin Chen glanced at her and said in a serious tone:
"Talent cannot be learned."
Yun Yao: "..."
Yun Zhongge was trying not to laugh, her shoulders shaking.
Jian Wusheng's face remained cold, but his gaze toward Lin Chen held a hint of seriousness.
The monk Liaochen chanted a Buddhist prayer and smiled without saying a word.
Zhou Lie leaned closer and asked, seemingly a little naive:
"Prince Zhenbei, how long do you think it will take you to break through to the Celestial Immortal realm?"
Lin Chen thought about it seriously for a moment: "I don't know, but I should be able to do it a little earlier than you!"
Zhou Lie was speechless.
Yun Yao muttered under her breath, "How arrogant."
Although Lin Chen is a prodigy, it's not easy for a Celestial Immortal to break through to the next level.
Otherwise, their Qingyun Sect wouldn't have so many elders at the peak of the Land Immortal realm and those at the half-step Celestial Immortal level.
Lin Chen heard this but wasn't angry. He smiled and said:
"If you don't even dare to think about it, how can you be courageous and diligent?"
Everyone seemed to be deep in thought.
After the banquet ended, Bai Mei and his companions took their leave.
Lin Chen stood at the door to see them off, watching them fly away before turning and walking back.
I had only taken two steps when I saw Lin Nian'er running over.
Her little face was flushed from running, and she hugged Lin Chen's leg tightly:
"Father!"
Lin Chen bent down and picked her up:
"What's wrong?"
Lin Nian'er pointed to the sky:
"Who were those people just now?"
Lin Chen said, "They are guests from Songshan."
Lin Nian'er tilted her head: "Where is Songshan?"
Lin Chen smiled and said, "It's not far outside the city. I'll take you there to play sometime."
Lin Nian'er asked again, "What are they here for?"
Lin Chen said, "I came to see my younger brother and bring him a gift."
Lin Nian'er's eyes lit up: "What gift? I want one too!"
Lin Chen smiled, picked her up, and walked inside:
"Come on, Daddy will take you to pick some out."
Lin Nian'er squirmed in Lin Chen's arms, extremely excited.
Since the change in address, the little guy has become even more attached to Lin Chen than before.
……
In the backyard.
Several pregnant women, including Zhao Mingyue, were sitting on the veranda, basking in the sun and chatting.
Seeing Lin Chen carrying Lin Nian'er over, Zhao Mingyue waved:
"Nian'er, come here, let Aunt Mingyue give you a hug."
Lin Nian'er slid off Lin Chen's arms and ran over to throw herself into Zhao Mingyue's arms.
Zhao Mingyue hugged her and asked with a smile:
"Where did you go just now?"
Lin Nian'er said, "I'm going to see the guests off."
Qin Shuyan, standing nearby, asked, "What kind of guest are you seeing off?"
Lin Nian'er said earnestly, "The guests from Songshan are here to give my younger brother a gift."
Xiao Yulou teased her, "Does Nian'er have a gift?"
Lin Nian'er shook her head: "No."
She pouted, looking a little aggrieved.
Wen Ruoxi smiled and patted her head:
"Nian'er, don't feel wronged. In a couple of days, your aunt will give you a gift."
Lin Nian'er's eyes lit up:
"real?"
Wen Ruoxi nodded: "Really."
Lin Nian'er was happy and ran to hug Ye Qingying again:
"Sixth Aunt, what are you giving me?"
Ye Qingying rarely smiled, and said softly:
What do you want?
Lin Nian'er thought for a moment:
"I want...I want a little bunny!"
Ye Qingying nodded:
"it is good."
Lin Nian'er jumped up excitedly:
"Great! I have a little bunny!"
She ran to hug Murong Xue again:
"Seventh Aunt, and what about you?"
Murong Xue smiled:
"I'll give you a pair of small jade bracelets."
Lin Nian'er blinked:
"What is a jade bracelet?"
Murong Xue explained, "It's something you wear on your wrist; it's very pretty."
Lin Nian'er nodded as if she understood, then ran to ask Su Xiaoxiao.
After asking around, I gained a lot.
Lin Chen stood to the side, watching this scene, grinning from ear to ear.
That girl is really clever.
Su Wanqing came out of the main hall, saw this scene, and smiled.
She walked over and stood next to Lin Chen:
"Chen'er".
Lin Chen turned his head: "Mother!"
Su Wanqing looked at the group of women and children in the courtyard, her eyes slightly reddening:
"very nice."
Lin Chen nodded: "Yes, that's good."
Su Wanqing held his hand:
"If your father were still alive, he would be so happy to see things like this today."
Lin Chen paused for a moment, then said:
"He can definitely see it."
Su Wanqing nodded and wiped her eyes.
In the distance, Lin Nian'er started running again, chasing after Qing'er and the others who had just arrived, playing around.
Laughter echoed throughout the courtyard.
The warm sunshine shone on everyone.
Lin Chen watched this scene and suddenly felt inexplicably comfortable.
He walked over, picked up Lin Nian'er, and kissed her on the cheek.
Lin Nian'er giggled as he kissed her, and returned the kiss.
Zhao Mingyue watched from the side and smiled:
"Aren't you two, father and daughter, all lovey-dovey?"
Lin Chen said in a serious tone:
"It's not cloying; it's a genuine expression of emotion."
Everyone laughed again, their eyes filled with satisfaction with their current lives!
