"Xiao Ning, this is wrong for you. The old man usually loves you the most, but he doesn't care much about Sister Xiao Qing."
Xiao Sen took the opportunity to say: "We don't expect the birthday gift you give to the old lady to be better than Sister Xiao Qing's, at least it can't be too bad. But now look at it, maybe the old lady doesn't care, but we can't stand it."
"Birthday gifts are about the heart, not the appearance."
At this time, Ling Yun said: "Sister Ning's respect for the old man has always been in her heart. How can it be replaced by a birthday gift?"
"ridiculous."
Xiao Sen said sarcastically: "Ling Yun, you have the nerve to chatter here?
I wonder what birthday gifts you have prepared?"
Several Taikang Prince's disciples who were with Xiao Sen also looked at Ling Yun mockingly.
They didn't think that Ling Yun, a warrior from the Daluo Upper Realm, could come up with anything good.
In Da Luo Upper Realm, I am afraid that even medicinal materials above Youying level cannot be found, let alone Youying level elixirs.
Ling Yun directly took out the birthday gift box: "Ling Yun, I wish the old man a long life like a sea of stars and may his cultivation continue to improve. A little gift would not be enough to show respect."
"I want to see what gifts you can come up with."
Xiao Sen smiled disdainfully.
He moved very quickly, taking Ling Yun's birthday gift box and opening it in one go.
The contents of the birthday gift box have been replaced by Ling Yun.
Before, Ling Yun put several precious medicinal materials in it.
At this moment, there is only one pill inside.
This elixir is dull green in color, has no strong aroma, and looks simple and unpretentious.
"That's it?"
"This is just a joke, this elixir looks like inferior quality."
"Could it be that you bought it from any street stall, so you have the nerve to use it as a gift?"
There was discussion all around.
"You don't even have the luster or fragrance. Ling Yun, what kind of sect leader are you anyway? You're so stingy that you use this kind of street stall to make up for your losses?"
Xiao Sen laughed heartily.
Xiao Qing also had a smile on his face.
Ling Yun was brought by Xiao Ning, and now that Ling Yun has made a fool of himself, Xiao Ning will undoubtedly be embarrassed as well.
"Come, take a look at the birthday gift I gave you."
Xiao Sen directly opened the gift box he had prepared, revealing a red elixir with an alluring luster.
"You see clearly, although this elixir is not as good as Sister Qing's, it is still the first-grade Youying true elixir."
As he spoke, Xiao Sen was extremely proud.
Now everyone around was in an uproar.
It was said that it was Xiao Qing, and even Xiao Sen's congratulatory gift was more precious than Xiao Ning's.
Xiao Ning frowned.
As the saying goes, family scandals should not be made public.
She was really dissatisfied with the behavior of Xiao Qing and Xiao Sen.
The actions of the two people undoubtedly made the internal struggles and conflicts of the Xiao family public, and made people laugh at them for nothing.
Xiao Sen thought it was a blow to Xiao Ning, and the smile on his face became even stronger.
But he was also very smart and did not directly target Xiao Ning, as that would be too obvious.
He continued to stare at Ling Yun and said: "Ling Yun, no matter how shabby you are, this birthday gift still needs some snacks. How can you make up for it with such an unknown pill?"
"Brother Sen, why should we be serious with him? To put it bluntly, they just didn't take the old man's birthday banquet seriously."
Xiao Qing smiled, but what he said was a hidden secret, "But it is understandable. Sister Ning is a princess and has many things to do. It is normal for her to ignore the old man's birthday gift for a while."
Xiao Ning's face showed an angry look.
In the past, she knew that Xiao Qing was very jealous of her and often played tricks in secret, but she didn't pay much attention to it.
Today is different.
This is the old lady's birthday party, and there are many guests nearby.
Xiao Qing's behavior not only made people laugh, but also caused trouble for the old man.
"Sister Ning, there is no need to take their words seriously."
Ling Yun smiled instead of getting angry, "Maybe our gifts are not very valuable, but they are all beneficial to the old man anyway. Unlike some people who bring some poisonous pills, it really makes people wonder whether this is
It’s harboring evil intentions.”
"What do you mean?"
Xiao Sen's expression suddenly changed.
Ling Yun looked at him calmly: "Do you have to say it so clearly?
Forget it, let me tell you straight, Xiao Sen, is it inappropriate for you to use poisonous pills as birthday gifts?"
"Poison pill?"
Xiao Sen was furious and said, "Fuck you, I spent a lot of money to ask Master Yu to refine this elixir.
Moreover, before I used it as a birthday gift, I also asked Master Tie Zhen from Prince Taikang’s Palace to taste it. Master Tie Zhen said that this elixir was fine.
Now, you are actually talking nonsense and just want to slander me?"
"Ling Yun, I've heard a little about your reputation, but there are some things you shouldn't say nonsense."
Behind Xiao Sen, a man in his fifties wearing a blue pill robe said in a bad tone: "I refined this pill, so why is it poisonous?"
When other people around who had a good relationship with Xiao Sen heard this, they looked at Ling Yun with extremely unhappy eyes.
They had heard more or less that Ling Yun seemed to be an alchemist as well.
But in their opinion, no matter how good Ling Yun is in alchemy, he cannot compare with Master Yu Zhen.
After all, Master Yu Zhen is the Youying alchemist.
They didn't think that Ling Yun could reach such a level at such a young age.
"Ling Yun, don't think you know something about alchemy and just talk nonsense."
"I've seen people like you a lot. You like to make alarmist statements to gain attention."
"This is the elixir refined by Master Yu. Are you worthy of slandering Master Yu?"
In an instant, there was a cry of crusade against Ling Yun from all around.
Xiao Ning calmed down instead.
In the past, she would have been a little uneasy.
But after experiencing the two incidents of Xiao Cheng and Xie Lingshan, she already knew very well how strong Ling Yun's alchemy attainments were.
Since Ling Yun said this, it means that there may be something wrong with this elixir.
"There are many alchemists in Prince Taikang's palace. If this elixir is poisonous, wouldn't it be clear if a few more alchemists taste it?"
Ling Yun was not anxious at all, and said in a nonchalant manner.
At first, he thought that even if there was no problem with the elixir, he would still cause problems.
With his methods, it is easy to secretly destroy an elixir.
But he also didn't expect that Xiao Sen's elixir didn't require his own tricks.
This elixir is really poisonous.
Seeing Ling Yun being so indifferent, Xiao Sen's heart skipped a beat.
Only he knew that this elixir was refined by Master Yu Zhen, but the ingredients for the elixir were purchased at low prices on the black market for the sake of bargaining.
Since the black market seller vowed that there was no problem, and Master Yu Zhen later found no abnormalities, Xiao Sen took a chance and thought that there was really no problem.
Now that Ling Yun said this, he suddenly felt guilty.
"What is this doing?"
Two figures walked in from outside.
Seeing these two figures, many guests in the hall smiled brightly.
Of these two figures, the one on the left is Xiao Qing and Xiao Sen's father, Xiao Ning's uncle Xiao Wen, and the one on the right is Master Tie Zhen whom Xiao Sen had mentioned.
Not only Master Tiezhen is Master Youying, but so is Xiao Wen.
Xiao Wen's alchemy skills are even stronger than Master Tie Zhen's, ranking among the best in the entire Taikang Palace, and he is the Fourth Grade Master of Youying.
