Chapter 29 - 27: Cheap Gifts_1
For both the Elixir Palace and the Martial Palace to issue invitations simultaneously and make such a promise was unprecedented in Iron Bull Town. It clearly showed how highly the Third Palace Master and the Hall Master of the Martial Palace valued Qin Feiyang.
The Lin Family Head's heart was once again filled with regret. He had never imagined that events would escalate to this extent. Now, as long as Qin Feiyang agreed, he could become a Disciple of either the Elixir Palace or the Martial Palace. His status would rise instantly! Furthermore, with his talent, his future entry into the Elixir King Palace or Martial King Palace was an absolute certainty! His future prospects were truly bright!
Oh heavens! Why would you play such a cruel joke on me! the Lin Family Head lamented in his heart, so upset he couldn't even cry.
At this moment, Qin Feiyang once again became the center of attention, with all eyes on him. Everyone eagerly awaited his decision. Would he join the Elixir Palace? Or the Martial Palace? If the choice were theirs, they would undoubtedly choose the Elixir Palace without hesitation. In this world, nothing was more important than elixirs.
However, as the person in question, Qin Feiyang seemed oblivious, swiftly descending the stone steps with Uncle Yuan. The crowd automatically parted, creating a path to the main street. Watching Qin Feiyang and Uncle Yuan enter the main street, a hint of disappointment crept onto the faces of both the Hall Master of the Martial Palace and the Third Palace Master. This boy was a true talent. It was just a pity they couldn't secure him.
Lin Baili's gaze flickered. He turned towards Qin Feiyang and smiled, "Qin Feiyang, today is Yiyi's fifteenth birthday. We've arranged a grand banquet and invited all the prominent figures of Iron Bull Town. Would you do us the honor of attending as our guest at the Lin family?"
"Yiyi's birthday?" Qin Feiyang was momentarily stunned. So much had happened recently that he had almost forgotten Lin Yiyi and he were born in the same year, month, and on the same day. He was born in the morning, and Lin Yiyi in the evening. That was why Lin Yiyi called him 'brother.' This was the main reason for their close relationship.
If this were the past, he would have undoubtedly accepted the invitation. Now, however, he no longer wished to set foot in the Lin family's home, unwilling to face their hypocritical expressions.
Just as he was about to decline, Uncle Yuan spoke first, "I'll accept on Feiyang's behalf. He'll be there punctually in the evening to offer his congratulations."
"Then it's settled. When the time comes, I will personally greet you at the door," Lin Baili said with a laugh.
Uncle Yuan turned his head, gave Lin Baili a meaningful glance, then swiftly departed with Qin Feiyang.
