Ninety-five, birthday

  Bai Yu followed Jiu Shu upstairs and saw that the floor was already crowded with people, who were probably local gentry.

  However, after Bai Yu saw clearly the faces of these people, there was some unnaturalness.

  Because these people are absolutely big shots in the real world, I believe that no matter where they go, they will cause a stir.

  These people were originally played by Hung Kam-bo and others in the movie, but when watching TV at that time, there was nothing, but now being on the scene, being stared at by such a strong lineup, Bai Yu will definitely have some unnaturalness, to know that Bai Yu can be said to have grown up watching these people's movies.

  At this time, Ninth Uncle laughed loudly and cupped his fists towards the people inside, saying: "Everyone, sorry to keep you waiting for so long."

  At this time, everyone inside stood up and waved at Jiǔ Shū, saying: "Uncle Jiu, don't be polite, come sit down quickly."

  Jiu Shu heard this and chuckled, leading Bai Yu to sit down, then said: "While the birthday banquet has not yet begun, I'll first introduce a friend for everyone to get acquainted with."

  A man in Chinese attire said, "Is the person you want to introduce this little brother next to you? We are also very curious, who is this person that can walk with Ninth Uncle?"

  "Ah, this is a fellow practitioner of mine," said Ninth Uncle. "I'm sure you've all heard about what happened yesterday when we were suppressing the bandits? That young man who unleashed his divine might was him."

  "Oh." Everyone was shocked by his words and couldn't help but take a good look at Bai Yu.

  Bai Yu adjusted his mentality and smiled slightly as he cupped his fists in greeting, saying: "I am Bai Yu, it's nice to meet you all."

  Everyone who heard the words also hurriedly clasped their fists in return.

  At this time, A Qiang came back from outside with a box in his arms, and he looked very happy.

  Jiǔ shū is the main character, so he stood up and raised his cup, saying: "Come on, everyone has finally gathered together, let's have a drink." The crowd can be said to be very respectful of Jiǔ shū, and they quickly stood up and raised their wine cups, saying: "Good, good, we'll drink."

  They sat down again, and Bai Yu heard only two people whispering softly: "Buyer Hong, why hasn't he come yet? Doesn't he know it's Ninth Uncle's birthday today?"

  "Hey, speak of Cao Cao and he arrives."

  Everyone heard the sound and involuntarily looked towards the door, only to see a fat man in Western attire holding a cake with a smile on his face walking towards them.

  "Happy birthday, Ninth Uncle!"

  Everyone smiled at him and said: "You've finally arrived, take a seat quickly."

  At this time, Mai Bang Hong sat down and put the cake on the table in his hand. He smiled at Jiu Shu and said: "Jiu Shu, happy birthday, hurry up and blow out the candles."

  Ninth Uncle didn't recognize the cake in front of him and laughed as he asked: "Where did you get this from?"

  "Ah, this is a Western-style mooncake," said Mai Bang Hong with a smile. "Quickly blow out the candles for good luck."

  A Qiang looked at the cake and laughed: "You lit so many candles, are you trying to get my master to do magic?"

  "Buy Ban Hong shook his head and smiled: "No, this means auspicious." Then he turned his head to Ninth Uncle and said: "Ninth Uncle blow it out, the candle has a son and a daughter-in-law."

  A Qiang shook his head and smiled wryly: "My master doesn't have a son..." But he couldn't continue, because at this moment Ninth Uncle was staring at him.

  Bai Yu smiled and said, "Brother Dao, let's hurry up and extinguish the candles, don't miss the auspicious time." Jiū Shū heard this and nodded, shifting his attention away from A Qiang. He then got up slightly and blew out the candles on the cake.

  As the candles went out, a group of people suddenly started singing and shaking their heads in unison, as if they had rehearsed beforehand, using chopsticks to beat against bowls.

  "Wishing you a long and happy life, may your birthday be filled with joy..."

  However, for this song, Bai Yu wouldn't know it. Looking at these people shaking their heads and singing, he could only stare with wide eyes in bewilderment. But in the end, feeling that not singing would be somewhat awkward, so he prepared to find a popular song that he was more familiar with to hum along to.

  At this time, Ah Qiang stopped everyone and saw him shaking his hand: "It's not this one, it's not this one." Bai Yu thought of it at this time. He wanted to sing that embarrassing song "The World Only Has Good Masters". Just thinking about the movie, when he sang this song, Bai Yu's hair stood up involuntarily.

  As expected, at this time Ah Qiang suddenly paused for a moment, as if he was brewing his emotions, and then in an instant his face was filled with tenderness, and he began to sing.

  "In this world, only masters are good, apprentices with masters are like treasures, throwing themselves into the master's arms, happy little babies..."

  As he finished his last sentence, Bai Yu involuntarily let out a loud shout and almost fell to the ground.

  Others were also stunned, one by one, towards Ah Qiang who still had a gentle expression, and they all secretly despised him.

  However, after being stunned for a while, these people also reacted and hurriedly applauded. After all, they had to give face to Ninth Uncle. But it's unknown what they were thinking in their hearts.

  Everyone took another sip and put the matter aside. Maibang Hong asked Jiū Shū, "Uncle Jiu, why didn't you introduce some new faces? Who is this young brother?"

  Someone beside him smiled and said, "Who says there was no introduction? It's been introduced already, you just didn't hear it. Let me tell you again, this little brother is quite something, I just heard from Ninth Uncle that he's Ninth Uncle's fellow disciple, this skill is really impressive! Yesterday's bandit suppression, I suppose you know about it?"

  Maibang Hong nodded and said, "I know about this. I heard that the battle that day was intense, and those bandits even used some evil magic."

  That man smiled again and said, "Right, it was during the suppression of bandits that this little brother showed off his skills. His magic directly subdued those horse thieves, killing several people, and he became an idol for many young people in the town."

  Buyer Hong listened to the words and patted his thigh, saying: "I've also heard about this matter, I didn't expect it was this young brother in front of me. It's not good, I have to toast this young brother a cup, as a thank you for his help to our town." As he spoke, Buyer Hong raised the wine cup in his hand.

  Bai Yu also hastily raised his wine cup and smiled: "These are what should be, it's the lot of a cultivator."

  Maibang Hong listened and suddenly showed a look of admiration on his face, saying: "Well said, since that's the case, let's raise our cups in respect."

  But at this time, the person next to him pulled him back and stopped him, saying: "Hey, you've already toasted with all the wine, what are we going to do? We're also from this town, he helped our town and helped us too, so we should toast too." The others listened and felt it was reasonable, so they raised their cups as well, saying: "Come on, let's toast together!"

  Bai Yu saw so many wine cups coming up, and hurriedly refilled his own wine glass. He smiled at these people and said: "Thank you all for your kindness, let's drink together." However, he still had some strange feelings in his heart. He suddenly felt like he was stealing the limelight from Ninth Uncle, but fortunately, Ninth Uncle wasn't a petty person and didn't mind these things.

  At this time everyone put down their wine cups, and one of them suddenly pointed at A Qiang and said: "Qiangzi, your master is having a birthday, what gift have you prepared? Hurry up and take it out to show us!"

  A Qiang heard this and a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes, but he still took out his gift - a small bag.

  Jiushu took it over, just about to open and take a look, Ah Qiang hurriedly stopped him on the side, saying: "Master, let's go back and look at it again." But Jiushu gave him a glance and said: "Let me see what this is."

  Bai Yu was now closer to the two of them, but he didn't sneak a peek because he knew that the bag only contained one coin.

  Someone next to him whispered: "It's such a small package, it can't be jade, right?"

  "It looks like it." Someone nodded in agreement.

  Bai Yu's heart secretly laughed, this "jade" was really worthless, only worth a single coin. However, the gold later would be valuable, that thing made Ninth Uncle lose face in front of people, at that time Ninth Uncle had already had the intention to kill someone.

  After Old Man Ji finished examining the object, a curious onlooker asked: "Old Man Ji, how is it? Is it jade?"

  Jiu Shu's rigid face squeezed out a hint of a smile and said, "Whatever is fine."

  But his eyes glanced at the box behind A Qiang.

  A Qiang smiled and said, "Ah, the small package is just an appetizer, the big box is the main course." He bent down to pick up the box and placed it in front of Jiu Shu, saying, "Here, Master."

  "Good, you still have some filial piety," Ninth Uncle said with a snort. In his heart, he thought that whatever was in such a large box must be quite valuable, and so his heart suddenly felt very happy.

  "Wasn't the previous one jade? This one can't be gold, right?"

  "Ah, absolutely gold."

  With hope in his heart, he opened the box in his hand.

  But the next moment, a fist came into view, and Ninth Uncle was stunned, unable to understand what this thing was.

  The spring-loaded fist "thudded" just as he was stunned and popped right onto his face.

  It became even clearer what this thing was as Ninth Uncle's anger gradually brewed.

  Everyone was shocked at this time.

  "True gold fears fire."

  "It's all over, it's all over."

  "Hehehe." At this time, Ninth Uncle smiled with a seemingly cold yet not quite cold smile, and for a moment the atmosphere in the room became eerie.

  Bai Yu saw the oppressive atmosphere and hurriedly smiled to adjust: "Lin Dao brother, I know it's your birthday today, so I also prepared a gift."

  As expected, everyone in the audience was drawn to Bai Yu's words and focused their attention on him.

  Jiu Shu gave a sideways glance at A Qiang, and handed the box to him, lowering his voice, saying: "You'll deal with this when you get back!" Then he turned around, forcing a smile towards Bai Yu, saying: "Friend, what a waste!"
