Alert! Miracle doctor released from prison
Chapter 62
Faced with everyone's birthday wishes and gifts, the old immortal nodded and smiled in response, but his eyes and brows did not focus.
However, upon hearing the names Chen Huo and Murong Bingyun, his cloudy eyes immediately turned to the two of them.
He stepped forward, clasped his hands in a fist and bow, and said, "So it's Young Master Chen and War God Murong. I've heard so much about you!"
"It is an honor and a great privilege for you two to attend my birthday banquet!"
These words caused an uproar.
All eyes turned to the two of them, and discussions ensued.
"Who is this person? Such a big shot! Even an old immortal would lower himself to do that!"
"Are you kidding? Haven't you heard of Murong Bingyun? The newly crowned female war goddess of the Dragon Kingdom, her status is extraordinary!"
"No wonder. In terms of wealth and ability, the God of War Murong may not be as good as him, but his identity alone is enough to impress! But who is that Chen Huo next to him?"
"I'm not too sure, I haven't heard much about it, but maybe it's something big..."
Chen Huo remained silent throughout.
Murong Bingyun, however, responded, "Old Immortal, you're too kind. It's our honor to be invited to your birthday banquet!"
"It's just a small token of my appreciation!"
"Oh dear, Young Master Chen, War God Murong, you've come all this way, and even brought gifts. We are truly unworthy of such hospitality!" The old earth immortal remained extremely humble, waving his hand in greeting. "You two are my honored guests. Please take a seat and wait a moment before joining us!"
Murong Bingyun nodded, and under the guidance of a member of the Earth Immortal Society, she and Chen Huo arrived at a table.
The tabletop was large and made of extremely precious Phoebe zhennan wood. In the center was an exquisitely carved peach, tied with a large red silk ribbon. Compared with the other tables, it stood out from the crowd and was particularly eye-catching.
Without a doubt, this table is the head seat for the old earth immortal, the god of longevity.
The fact that Chen Huo and Murong Bingyun were seated at this table caused quite a stir.
"Judging from the old immortal's attitude, he probably doesn't want to break ties with us. Let's have a good talk with him later!" Murong Bingyun poured herself a cup of tea and took a sip.
Chen Huo chuckled: "The more senior someone appears, the more it shows they're insecure!"
"Oh my, isn't this the War God Murong? I've heard so much about you, my apologies for not recognizing you sooner!" Just then, an old man in a short jacket walked over with a smile.
"Uncle Feng!" Murong Bingyun stood up. "Uncle Feng, I'm colleagues with the God of War Lieyang, and I should have visited you long ago. I haven't been thoughtful enough!"
"War God Murong, we're all family, no need for such formalities!" Feng Wanli, the head of the Feng family, sat down opposite him, then his gaze fell on Chen Huo beside him. He narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a half-smile, "Young Master Chen, I've heard so much about you!"
From the very beginning, Chen Huo had no interest in dealing with the Feng family.
Seeing the other party's sarcastic attitude, he didn't even lift his eyelids, pretending not to see it.
Feng Wanli's face darkened.
He thought to himself, "This Chen Huo is truly outrageous!"
I greeted him, an elder, but he didn't even respond.
Do you really think the Feng family is easy to bully?
"Uncle Feng, where is the God of War Lieyang?" Murong Bingyun changed the subject.
"He came with me...wait, where is he?" Feng Wanli glanced around and saw Feng Lieyang standing not far away, trying to slip away. He immediately called out, "Lieyang, what are you doing?"
"War God Murong is here, come here quickly!"
Feng Lieyang was like a caught mouse, his body stiff, wishing he could run away.
Actually, he didn't want to attend this birthday banquet at all.
There was no other way; Feng Wanli insisted on dragging him along.
Especially after seeing Chen Huo present, he was extremely unwilling and just wanted to find another place to sit.
Yesterday's battle at the abandoned chemical plant had shaken his resolve and shattered his worldview.
He, who had always been proud, suffered an incredibly heavy blow.
There's always someone better. Feng Lieyang is no match for him, so how can he have the nerve to show off?
However, he found it difficult to talk about it and didn't tell anyone.
Even Feng Wanli was unaware of it.
"No, Lieyang, what are you doing? This table!" Feng Wanli urged again.
Having no other choice, Feng Lieyang reluctantly approached and said, "Dad, the birthday banquet hasn't started yet, I'm just wandering around!"
"What are you loitering around for? Do you think you're a three-year-old?" Feng Wanli said, displeased. "Sit down quickly! Almost everyone who gave gifts has done so; the banquet is about to begin!"
"Alright!" Feng Lieyang originally wanted to sit next to him, but after seeing Chen Huo, he automatically moved away and sat in the farthest seat.
Feng Wanli frowned deeply.
What's wrong with this kid today?
Something was wrong with him.
He looked listless and lacked his usual energy.
Like a defeated rooster.
"Lieyang, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"Sun God of War, you don't look too well. Have you been overworking yourself lately?" Murong Bingyun noticed this as well and offered, "If you can't handle it, just rest at home for a few days. I can take over the Assassin's Guild!"
"Ah...no, no, it's probably because I haven't been back to Jiangcheng for too long, and my body isn't used to it!" Feng Lieyang immediately denied.
Feng Wanli was even more puzzled.
He's a native of Jiangcheng, and he's been away on missions for years, but I've never heard him complain about not adapting.
I went back to my hometown and I still can't adjust to the new environment!
However, Feng Wanli didn't think much of it and said, "Lieyang, let me introduce you. This is Chen Huo, the young master of the Chen family!"
Feng Lieyang inwardly groaned.
What I feared most has come to pass!
He has been traumatized ever since he was defeated by Chen Huo.
Upon seeing Chen Huo, he felt a sense of inexplicable frustration.
He forced a smile: "Young Master Chen... we've met before... my apologies!"
Chen Huo smiled, which was his response.
Feng Wanli seized the opportunity to speak up: "I've heard that Young Master Chen is quite capable. Recently, he's been causing a huge stir in Jiangcheng. Even my Feng family doesn't dare to show their faces, for fear of provoking Young Master Chen... Lieyang, don't you think so?"
"Ah...yes..." Feng Lieyan looked absent-minded.
Feng Wanli trembled with anger.
What is it?
We asked you to come out and support the family, but you're timid and hesitant, showing no reaction whatsoever.
"Lieyang, you've held an important position in the military all these years, and your strength has long since reached the Grandmaster level. I wonder if you've broken through the bottleneck yet..." Feng Wanli tried to steer the conversation in, but before he could finish, Feng Lieyang immediately interrupted, "Dad, I'm already very lucky to have reached the Grandmaster level. How easy is it to break through the bottleneck and take another step forward!"
"My current level of cultivation is far from sufficient in the face of true masters!"
"Besides, I've always been in the military, only dealing with military affairs; I don't get involved in anything else!"
