The inner city of Shencheng, the deputy city lord's mansion.

In the cold courtyard, the ground was noisy at this time, and the servants were scattered in an orderly manner like marching ants in every corner of the deputy city lord's mansion, either busy adding festive decorations to the elegant courtyard, or helping all kinds of chefs to cook evening feasts in the kitchen.

The Divine Sword Tower, Xuanyuan Tower, Kaishan Tower... Almost all the chefs from the top restaurants in Shencheng were present, surrounded by a slightly narrow kitchen showing their magical powers. Top ingredients from all over the world gathered like flowing water: Jinyu City, the spices from Liantian City, the deep sea seafood in the Nether Sea, the beast meat from Feiyan Mountain and even the Tianlan fruit in Tiangong City. A series of rare treasures are dazzling. After being processed and cooked by various tricks, they all turned into rare delicious dishes on earth.

The simple and elegant courtyard also changed its appearance bit by bit as the marching ants squirmed. It quickly took off its bare face and became colorful and delicate. In the cold winter, people were heart-pounding, as if they were directly warmed to their hearts by the warm current.

The scenes in the Deputy City Lord's Mansion are mixed and orderly. Each servant works diligently in his respective positions like a strictly trained soldier, maintaining the efficient operation of the entire system.

In order to host the 100th birthday party for the city lord, Shen Jinghai has been training a team of servants with strong combat effectiveness since a year ago. Now, in just a few days before the birthday party, the strength of this team has been fully demonstrated. In just half a day, a small banquet venue was arranged in an orderly manner. The work efficiency and quality were so high that even the shopkeepers of several top restaurants that often host banquets were ashamed of.

In the evening, the venue was all arranged, and the servants lined up at the door in an orderly manner to wait for the VIP to come. The deputy city lord Shen Jinghai took the lead, wearing black clothes and black hair, which looked particularly elegant but difficult to get close to under the night lights.

In the past twenty years, Shen Jinghai has been showing this image for most of the time, but the people close to him know that Shen Jinghai, who was standing in front of the door to welcome the guests, was already nervous and entered a state of fighting. This small banquet held at the Deputy City Lord's Mansion seemed to him as the 100th birthday party of the City Lord.

The first guest to attend was the Shen family. Shen Feihong, the successor appointed by the city lord, walked in front of the team. His huge body covered the team behind him, but he could still see the figures of Shen Qing, Shen Wuyong and other elite figures in the outer courtyard.

In sharp contrast to the celebration scene where the smiles of the servants in front of the deputy city lord's mansion were piled up, the group of people in the outer courtyard were like mourning soldiers fighting with their backs, each with a generous and heroic look of dying together, and each step was like a background music.

Seeing this posture, Shen Jinghai's eyebrows jumped slightly, and the blood vessels near the temples were also ignited.

These little guys have so many inner scenes.

Of course, from their perspective, the small banquet ordered by the deputy city lord himself was indeed a bit suspicious. On the surface, it claimed to be a friendship between the Shen, Zhao and Li families, but wasn’t it enough for the young people of the Shen and Li families to have been in contact for the past month? After several friendships, especially after the racing competition, the elites of the Shen family’s outer courtyard were all connected into a mourning soldier. This time, they actually brought the Zhao family to watch together. Could it be that people wanted to kill themselves and survive and burst out in the limits of the force that surpassed the limit?

Chen Jinghai really wants to tell them that you are thinking too much! The protagonist tonight is not you at all! He held a banquet in the name of the Shen family, but only contacted the Li and Zhao families, which was really out of place, so he brought you in to make up for the scene. After the banquet started, you just need to eat and drink, but don’t make any extra money!

Unfortunately, these words were of course not able to be said, so Chen Jinghai could only glance at them with his usual indifferent eyes, hoping to use this vague and light attitude to make them realize that their roles are just supporting roles and even supporting roles tonight.

Chen Feihong and others naturally saw Chen Jinghai's gaze. Although the contemptuous gaze hidden behind the lens was concealed, it was also straightforward.

In an instant, a sensation broke out in the hearts of the young people, and talkative words came from the Secret Word Channel.

"What does the deputy city lord mean? Do you look down on us?"

"Is it obvious? Outside the courtyard racing, four of the top five are from the Li family, and there is another place that they deliberately betrayed the fat man... How can people respect us with such achievements?"

"The racing competition is clearly because the Li family cheated and took advantage of tricks, how can it count!?"

"No one stopped us to cheat. We also got the test questions in advance, why didn't we think of a way to self-destruct the spirit stone? We were not as good as others, and we lost after all. Besides, if the racing doesn't count, the competition between Li Wanqing and Brother Feihong and Brother Chen Qing had to count, right? We are from the outer courtyard. Our performance during this period is indeed not worthy of the family's expectations for us, so it is not uncommon for the deputy city lord to have such contemptuous eyes today..."

"Damn it, what should I do? Should I really become a foil for outsiders at home?"

"Of course we can't admit defeat. Do you still remember what the city lord said? The Shen family can lose, and they can afford to lose, and they will be considered the Shen family! Although we lost two games before, we may still lose the third game today, but as long as we continue to move forward, be indomitable and not be burdened by false reputation, we will not really let down the family's expectations for us."

"Well, so what if you lose, so what if you are not as good as others? The Shen family stands tall and fearless. At today's banquet, I will challenge the Li family and Zhao family and learn about their methods!"

"Okay! I will challenge them too. Even if I can't fight, I will die standing still. It will definitely be worthy of the reputation of the Shen family!"

Listening to the passionate young people on the secret speech channel, the corners of their mouths began to twitch.

You bastards, get back to me now!

——

Of course, the Shen family could not leave. The three families joined forces and held the event with great fanfare, but no one of the family members came to the home court... This banquet fell into the eyes of outsiders, and was probably the standard Hongmen Banquet. So although Chen Jinghai was so distressed, he still let the elite team of the outer courtyard enter the venue.

The Zhao family arrived next.

The team is quite streamlined, led by Zhao Jincheng, with only 4 young people in total, and the rest are two bodyguards who work as part-time guide dogs. Among the people in this group, Zhao Jincheng is the only one who can be called the protagonist, and the other three young people, the older one is 18 years old and the younger one is only 12 years old. They are not considered core members of the Jinyu Zhao family, and their immortal cultivation is even shallow. They are just members of the family members of the envoy who came to Shencheng for tourism, and are temporarily pulled to make up the numbers.

In fact, most of the teams representing family forces to attend the Chen Ruoshi birthday banquet are led by elderly people who hold core positions to show respect. Only Jinyucheng, which has always been arrogant and unruly, will young people like Zhao Jincheng lead the team. But then again, as the younger brother of Jinyucheng, it is not impossible to talk about friendship with Shenzhou City Lord in the eyes of Jinyu people.

After welcoming the Zhao family's team, Chen Jinghai looked at the door with some concern and saw the guide dog A desperately pulling Zhao Jincheng, who was turning straight towards the toilet.

Chen Jinghai was suddenly a little nervous and always felt that tonight's banquet would not go so smoothly.

——

It was not until half an hour later that Chen Jinghai had no choice but to realize that things were not going well, and I am afraid that it was still above expectations.

At this time, the banquet had officially begun for more than ten minutes, but the Li family and their group didn't even have a shadow! With Chen Jinghai's understanding of them, although the Li family was despicable, shameless, sinister and vulgar, they were at least considered famous families in Xiangzhou, and they still understood the truth that they should not be late for attending the banquet.

Something must have happened.

As a professional conference team, some servants from the Deputy City Lord’s Mansion have taken the initiative to go to the Divine Sword Tower to check the situation, and soon after, they sent messages.

A good news and a bad news.

The good news is that at tonight's banquet, the ugly man Wang Jiu, who was despised by the city lord, could not come anymore, and he wanted to stay in the restaurant to take care of the patients.

The bad news is that the patient is Chen Qingming.

"What did you say!? Chen Qingming suddenly fell ill and was bedridden!?"

Chen Jinghai stood in front of the deputy city lord's mansion, listening to the news reported by his subordinates, he felt that the whole world was a little dizzy.

However, as the city lord's right-hand man, Chen Jinghai gritted his teeth and held on to dizziness and continued to think.

Although the current situation is bad, it may not be used in reverse. For example... I have tried to instigate Zhao Jincheng to visit the Divine Sword Tower, and give care when the woman is at its weakest, so as to win the favor of beauty in one fell swoop?

Just as he thought of this, Chen Jinghai suddenly saw a group of people coming in front of him.

A woman in the lead has a slender figure, and her gorgeous dress looks like a star in the night.

It was one of the culprits who turned the elites of the Shen family's outer courtyard into mourning soldiers, Li Wanqing. Behind him, Li Chaolu, who was also dressed in gorgeous clothes, followed with a little shyness.

When they were talking, the Li family was already there! And looking at the dressing, Chen Qingming's acute illness seemed to have not affected their fun at all!

Chen Jinghai admired this kind of friendship between classmates and couldn't help but ask: "Chen Qingming is not..."

"Oh, she was taken care of by someone in the room, and was more happy than healthy. We were inconvenient to disturb us, so we had to come here to eat and drink."

When I heard the gentle care and happiness was better than health, Chen Jinghai immediately thought of several plots in Cai'er's collection of books.

The lonely man and the widowed woman live in a sick room, dry firewood and fire, and the baby crying...

As this series of imagination continued, Chen Jinghai was sweating all over, so Lian Angnian asked: "Do we need to give us some condolences?"

Li Wanqing immediately looked at Chen Jinghai with a look of mental retardedness and asked back: "What are you condolences? Do you want sesame oil?"

"What sesame oil?" After all, Chen Jinghai was not in-depth enough to read the book.

"Anyway, those two people don't need to be disturbed by outsiders now, so don't go in the way. By the way, how long will we have to stand at the door? I smell the smell of the rice. Could it be that we will smell it all night?"

When Chen Jinghai let the entrance and brought Li Wanqing and Li Chaolu into the venue, he would still have some inexplicable thoughts.

What's wrong with sesame oil?
