"Alas, it's a pity that we have to wait for three more days."

"Yeah! Time goes by so slowly!"

The two little ones sat side by side on the doorstep, with their chins supported by their hands and their elbows on their knees, looking at their brother Li Heng strolling back and forth not far away, and sighed.

Why let them know the good news so early?

Li Heng ignored the two little ones because he was also thinking about what would happen three days later.

Now that the birthday party has been confirmed, just as Jiang Mei said, he doesn't have to worry about anything else.

But he still had to think carefully about the menu for the banquet day.

After all, he was the one who invited everyone here, so he had to make sure the guests enjoyed the meal.

“How many dishes should I make?”

"Also, I don't have much food left, so I need to replenish it urgently."

Li Heng paced back and forth in the yard with his hands behind his back, thinking about the problem that needed to be solved.

"Should we get some high-quality ingredients first? Well, it looks like I'll have to go see Sister Jiang again tomorrow."

When talking about ingredients, Li Heng thought of what he had eaten before: golden-horned sheep, red-faced white bear, and dark-scaled python.

The golden-horned sheep was caught by Song Qingfeng. Bear and Python Li Heng remembered that they had picked it up on the way to Tianyan City.

These are rare and precious ingredients that are hard to come by, but unfortunately they have already been consumed by them.

"Time is running out. It seems we have to hurry up and prepare."

It was getting dark outside. After staying in the yard for a while, Li Heng returned to his room.

While lying in bed in the middle of the night, he was still thinking about the menu, which must be the top priority.

During breakfast and lunch time the next day, Li Heng did not see Jiang Mei. It seemed that she was not in the sect.

"It seems that Sister Jiang is quite efficient! She just told him last night, but she's already sending out invitations this morning?"

After lunch, Li Heng went to the nearby clan leader's mansion to look for Jiang Mei, and the result was the same as he expected.

"Brother Li Heng, your birthday is coming soon! Why didn't you inform us earlier? That way we can all prepare in advance!"

Nangong Ya and her group of poker friends only learned about the birthday party from the two little ones today.

"Prepare? Prepare for what?"

Li Heng scratched his head, not quite understanding what Nangong Ya meant. They just had to wait for dinner, so why would they need to prepare anything else?

"Of course I'm preparing a birthday gift for you! I can't go to your birthday party empty-handed, right?"

Su Lingxuan added on the side.

"Oh! So this is what you are talking about!"

"Actually, I just want to take this opportunity to get everyone together. It doesn't matter if there are gifts or not!"

Li Heng waved his hand and spoke casually.

"That won't do! Birthdays only come once a year, so we can't treat them lightly."

"Besides, if in three days, everyone else comes with gifts and we are the only ones to come empty-handed, wouldn't that be inappropriate?"

"That's right! People who don't know would think we don't know how to behave!"

Lin Shiqi, Daning and others refuted Li Hengdao one after another.

"Yes... Is it that serious? Has it risen to the level of whether you can behave like a human being?"

Li Heng was a little stunned, and felt that what they said was a little too exaggerated.

"Of course! Master Li Feng, haven't you ever heard of 'reciprocity'? You treat us to a feast, and we give you a gift."

"But......"

Li Heng wanted to say something but was interrupted by Su Lingxuan.

"Oh! No buts. Whether or not to give gifts is our business. Junior brother, don't worry about it!"

Su Lingxuan stepped forward, patted Li Heng on the shoulder, and signaled him to stop "meddling in other people's business."

"Okay! Okay! Since you guys are willing to give it to me, I definitely won't stop you. Anyway, when the time comes, I will accept everyone who comes. No matter what you give me, I will be happy."

Li Heng shrugged and did not argue with them about whether to send it or not.

"Fortunately, we have three days to prepare. Shouldn't we discuss first what to give as a gift?"

Someone spoke up to remind everyone.

"We should discuss this carefully. How about we hold an emergency meeting?"

Nangong Ya suggested.

"I agree!"

"I agree!"

As soon as she finished speaking, others raised their hands and agreed.

Soon, everyone in the yard, except the two kids and Li Heng, agreed to the same condition.

"And what about you two little ones?"

Everyone's eyes were directed towards the two little ones.

"Ah? What about our business?"

Lu Xiaoxiao was a little confused by everyone's gaze. She was just a spectator, so why was she involved in this?

"Okay! We agree too!"

Lu Xiaoxiao felt a little embarrassed being stared at by so many people, so she just followed the crowd.

As for Xiao Chi, she didn't care at all what happened. She just followed whatever the young lady did.

"There are too many people here, why don't we go somewhere quieter to talk?"

Su Lingxuan glanced at Li Heng and said to the others.

"How about going to the card room?"

Lin Shiqi stepped forward and suggested that, besides their group of people, no outsiders would go to the chess and card room anyway.

"Let's go!"

Su Lingxuan also thought it was feasible, so she took the lead and walked towards the chess and card room.

A group of people followed him and walked into the chess and card room one after another.

Li Heng was the last one. He was curious about what gifts everyone would give him, so he wanted to go over and listen.

"boom!!"

Danning, who was walking in front of him, immediately closed the door after entering the room, giving Li Heng, who was walking behind him, a real "rejection".

"Uncle Master! There's no need for you to get involved in this kind of thing!"

After locking the door, Denim's voice came from the room.

"No, so what Senior Sister Lingxuan said just now, the 'person' in 'many people and many eyes' is referring to me specifically?"

Li Heng pointed at his nose, and then he understood the meaning of his senior sister's words.

"Hahaha~ Junior brother, you are so smart!"

"We are planning to prepare a surprise for you. If we tell you in advance, what kind of surprise will it be?"

After Su Lingxuan joked with Li Heng, the noise in the room became much quieter.

But people are sometimes so strange. The more you don't let them listen, the more they want to listen.

"Is it really that serious? It's just a gift, but you have to make it so mysterious!"

Li Heng felt as if his heart was being burned by a cat's claws.

When I turned my head, I saw the window next to me, so I bent down and tiptoed to get there.

"Okay, now that everyone is here, let's officially start the meeting!"

"If you have any good opinions, please feel free to speak up."

Nangong Ya is the tallest among this group of people in terms of both cultivation and age, so she naturally became their leader.

In fact, this is not quite right, because among them, there is another person named Leng Zhong, whose cultivation is higher than Nangong Ya.

But it is obviously impossible to ask Leng Zhong to stand up and organize such things, so let him be a transparent person.

The fact that he can appear in the room now is already a great honor to everyone.
