The ultimate Valkyrie has fallen for me

twelve.

The large main table had twelve people besides Shen Fuyue.

These twelve people, looking at the entire Chongming Base City, can be considered to be among the most powerful people.

Of these, Lu Yuan only knew one: Qin Dingfang, the vice-manager of the guild hall.

Previously, Wu Jianming and Lu Diaolong had a long argument because of Lu Yuan, and in the end, the case was resolved by Deputy Master Qin.

As one of the two vice masters, Qin Dingfang is said to not participate in the struggle between the old master and Dugu Chongxiao. Shen Fuyue is the grand elder of the guild, and his presence here is likely as a vice master, simply representing the guild.

Based on this, it can be inferred that the other six of the seven major martial arts groups in Chongming Base City should have sent representatives as well, making a total of seven, leaving five remaining.

One of them, dressed in military uniform, was clearly from the military. Correspondingly, the official government agency would also send a representative, leaving three people.

Lu Yuan couldn't guess the identities of these three people for the time being.

In fact, apart from the military personnel, everyone else was wearing civilian clothes, and he couldn't even tell who belonged to which family.

However, it was nothing more than curiosity and gossip; it had nothing to do with him in any real sense.

"Thank you all for attending Mr. Shen's 108th birthday celebration..."

With everyone present, the banquet was about to begin, with the two main hosts from Chongming TV acting as emcees.

Then comes the various procedures for the birthday celebration.

Although it is an exceptionally grand occasion, it is really nothing more than relatives and friends presenting birthday gifts and saying auspicious words.

After a short while, Shen Fuyue looked impatient and waved his hand dismissively.

It's been simplified.

There's no need for everyone to offer this as a birthday gift; let's just have the emcee read out the gift list.

Of course, it's not read out the whole list; only the gift lists of some VIPs are read out.

After all, this is not just a birthday gift, but also a matter of face for both the host and the guest!

It has to be said that this is truly the treatment befitting a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm; every birthday gift is priceless, leaving Lu Yuan speechless with amazement.

The things collected at this banquet alone are enough to train a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm!

Of course, besides resources, the most important thing to become a Grandmaster is aptitude.

Shen Fuyue married four wives in his lifetime. Although the first and fourth wives had few children, the second and third wives had many offspring.

But so far, no one has been able to reach the Innate Realm.

"The following are the filial offerings from the Shen family."

More than an hour later, the guest list was finally read out. The host breathed a sigh of relief and then took out another list.

"First, the eldest grandson of the Shen family, Shen Qiubing, donated a portion of century-old Dragon Blood Grass and a piece of Crimson Flame Crystal..."

The order of seniority begins with the eldest son's family.

The eldest son's family now consists of only Shen Qiubing, but even she is a long line. As expected of the eldest grandson, Lu Yuan knew that Shen Qiubing was a little rich, but he didn't expect her to be this rich.

After all, Shen Qiubing usually works hard with them to earn points when doing tasks, and there is no trace of extravagance in her behavior.

After the first wife comes the second wife and then the third wife, which means there are many more people in the family.

Sons, daughters, grandsons, granddaughters, and even great-grandchildren who are still breastfeeding all receive separate birthday gifts.

This reading through everything took nearly half an hour.

"Finally, it's the fourth branch of the Shen family."

After finally finishing reading, the host took a breath and continued.

There are four more rooms?

Lu Yuan was taken aback, then remembered Shen Humeng.

Yes, Shen Humeng's mother died early. Although she was fostered by the first wife's family since childhood, strictly speaking, she did belong to the fourth wife's family.

It is only natural to list them separately at this point.

But then, the host, who had just been loud and energetic, suddenly looked troubled as he looked at the gift list.

The male host next to her noticed something was wrong and exchanged a glance with her. The female host then showed him the gift list, and the male host's eyes widened instantly, and he couldn't help but start wiping his sweat.

What happened?

Seeing the unusual behavior of the two hosts, the guests were also puzzled.

One by one, those who had been listless suddenly perked up.

Did the fourth branch of the family not offer a birthday gift?

After all, Miss Shen was nowhere to be seen at the venue at that moment.

Rumor has it that Miss Shen and Master Shen had a falling out some time ago, to the point that Miss Shen ran away from home.

Unexpectedly, there was more juicy gossip at the birthday banquet, which made everyone even more curious.

But the host remained silent, which made everyone anxious.

"read."

Just then, Shen Fuyue, who was sitting there, calmly gave an order without changing his expression.

"This is."

The two hosts exchanged a glance, having no other choice but to grit their teeth and read it aloud.

"The fourth branch of the Shen family, son-in-law Lu Yuan, presents a birthday gift of 100,000 yuan."

One hundred thousand yuan?

Everyone was taken aback, then couldn't help but laugh. A dowry of 100,000 yuan? This fourth son-in-law is too stingy.

Wait a minute, everyone was stunned again. What about the other birthday gifts? Why weren't they reading them out?

As the host closed the booklet, the guests widened their eyes, wondering if it was all gone!

In other words, this fourth son-in-law only gave a dowry of 100,000 yuan!

One hundred thousand yuan. Anyone who can sit here would give their child more than that amount in pocket money.

This fourth son-in-law actually used it as a birthday gift?

You should know that his father-in-law is no ordinary person; he is none other than Shen Fuyue, a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm!

This birthday gift is worse than not giving it at all; who are they trying to humiliate?

That's a slap in the face!

Slap on the face!

This isn't a birthday celebration; it's a public slap in the face to his father-in-law!

In an instant, everyone fell silent.

On Shen Fuyue's 108th birthday, he was publicly humiliated, and it was his son-in-law who slapped him. How should he react?

Who wouldn't fear the wrath of a grandmaster?

At the same time, everyone couldn't help but secretly glance at the fourth branch of the family.

This "ideal son-in-law" is easy to identify, since there is only one person sitting at the table of the four families.

At this moment, Lu Yuan, holding a teacup, was completely stunned.

Did you just read his name?

But why is there an extra prefix? What does "four sons-in-law" mean?

It should mean exactly what it says.

But when did he become the son-in-law of the fourth wife?

Perhaps it's just a coincidence of names. After all, his name is actually quite ordinary, so it's not impossible for such a coincidence to happen.

The problem is, that son-in-law, Lu Yuan, also gave a dowry of 100,000 yuan. What a coincidence, it's the same as his.

This is such a coincidence.

Immediately afterwards, feeling countless needle-like gazes directed at him, Lu Yuan almost burst into tears.

There are no coincidences. It was clearly him who was speaking!

That's it, we're completely finished.

Putting aside how he became the son-in-law of the fourth wife, the 100,000 yuan he mentioned in this situation was hardly a birthday gift; it was a direct slap in the face to Shen Fuyue.

A grandmaster-level expert, celebrating his 108th birthday under the watchful eyes of countless dignitaries, was humiliated in this way. Let alone his so-called son-in-law, even his own son would probably be torn apart and fed to the dogs.

Lu Yuan thought to himself, "Who the hell ruined me?!"

"It's over, it's over, it's completely over."

Jin Xinxin and the others, watching Lu Yuan who was frozen in place, thought to themselves, "This is bad."

I was worried that Lu Yuan would cause trouble because he was impulsive, so I kept an eye on him. I never expected that he would actually get into the Shen family's family section.

At this moment, the host spoke up, and lo and behold, he's now the son-in-law of the fourth branch of the Shen family!

From chicken to phoenix!

Putting all that aside, since he's the son-in-law of the fourth wife, how come he only gave 100,000 yuan? Isn't that just asking for trouble?

Jin Xinxin and the others wiped their sweat repeatedly. Let alone them, even Wu Jianming and Qin Dingfang probably couldn't save Lu Yuan this time.
