Jiangnan Water Town, Huo Manor.
The morning sun was warm and charming.
Qin Shuang opened her eyes and heard the sound of firecrackers.
He stood up and pushed open the window. The Huo Residence appeared not far away.
Outside the Huo Manor, firecrackers were already ringing and gongs and drums were playing. There was an endless stream of people wishing him a happy birthday.
Qin Shuang calmly picked up the congratulatory gift. Snow Guzzle Frenzied Sword was already tied to her back.
Step by step, he walked towards the Huo family's door with a calm expression. If one looked carefully, every step he took was covered in frost, shining under the sunlight.
Outside the Huo Manor, shouts could be heard.
"The chief of Gale Stronghold, Yan Ming, has arrived!"
" Luohe Gang Leader Zhao Bei has really arrived!"
"Lianjiang Stronghold Chieftain Guan Tian has arrived!"
……
Huo Butian greeted the guests with a smile.
"Haha, long time no see, Brother Yan.”
"Brother Huo, congratulations on your birthday today.”Yan Ming smiled and congratulated him.
"Brother Huo, I hope you're not late."
Zhao Beizhen walked over and cupped his fists.
"Aiyo! Brother Zhao! How have you been?"
Huo Butian extended his hand and led Zhao Beizhen into the room.
"Brother Guan, why are you treating me like an outsider? Why did you bring so many things?”
Huo Butian was extremely busy.
In the middle of the courtyard, rows of tables were filled with people. People from the martial world were sitting in twos and threes, chatting with each other and bragging.
Red lanterns hung high up under the eaves, looking jubilant.
When there was basically no one outside the door, Huo Butian finally heaved a sigh of relief, but the smile on his face became even stronger.
In the distance, a child who looked to be only seven or eight years old was leaning against the railing alone.
He held a piece of wood in his left hand and a carving knife in his right.
The carving knife kept moving on the surface of the wood. It was hard to believe that a child's carving skills were so exquisite. It looked pleasing to the eye.
His expression was very focused, as if he was a carving knife in his hand.
The corners of his mouth were still overflowing, as if he had encountered a very happy thing.
"Young Master! Young Master!"
An old woman found Bu Jingyun.
"What are you carving?"
Bu Jingyun showed the wooden carving in his hand to the old woman. It turned out to be a Buddha statue with a kind face.
"Today is Godfather's birthday. I want to give this to him as a gift.”
The child's tone was immature, but it made the old lady feel gratified.
"What a good child. Let's go over quickly. The birthday ceremony is about to begin.”
"Yes." Bu Jingyun nodded and gently brushed off the wood shavings with his sleeve before putting it away.
In the middle of the courtyard.
Huo Butian stood there and exchanged pleasantries. His red robe made him exceptionally energetic.
"Friends of the martial world, heroes of the martial arts world!”
"Thank you, everyone, for coming to celebrate my birthday despite your busy schedule. I don't deserve it!”
"Since you're here, don't stand on ceremony. Everyone, eat and drink well!”
A wave of friendly cheers came from below, making Huo Butian's smile even wider.
"Today, I'll take advantage of this good day to announce something to everyone.”
Huo Butian cupped his hands and smiled solemnly.
"The Hunts 'swordsmanship will be inherited by my adopted son.”
The guests sitting at the side were puzzled.
Lianjiang Stronghold Chieftain Guan Tianlin could not help but ask,""Why didn't Manor Lord Huo pass on this sword technique to his son?”
Huo Butian lovingly pulled the seemingly dull youth beside him.
"My son's aptitude is too dull, so I passed the Huo family's sword technique to my adopted son.”
After saying that, Huo Butian looked around but did not find the figure he was looking for. He was stunned for a moment and asked the servant beside him in a low voice.
"Eh? Where was Jingyun? Quickly find Jingyun!"
The servant quickly ran to the backyard.
Huo Butian let out a sigh of relief, and his face changed back to the smiling expression from before.
At this moment, a servant's ear-piercing shout came from outside the door.
"Qin Shuang from the World Conference has arrived!"
For a moment, the smiles on everyone's faces froze.
An uninvited guest walked in from outside the door.
Everyone turned their gazes over and saw a young man slowly walking over. His long hair was like a waterfall, and his aura was outstanding. His eyes were clear and cold, and from afar, he was a peerless beauty.
Qin Shuang had a warm smile on her face as she swept her gaze over. However, everyone's hearts trembled as they felt the surrounding temperature gradually turning cold.
In the end, he fixed his gaze on the person in the middle.
"Manor Lord Huo, I'm Qin Shuang, I hope you can forgive me for disturbing you.”
It was clearly an ordinary tone, but everyone could feel a killing intent.
Qin Shuang handed over a long box that was beautifully wrapped. Inside it was the calligraphy from before.
At this moment, everyone couldn't help but stand up because the murderous aura coming from the birthday gift was even stronger.
Everyone knew that this young man represented Xiong Ba, who had already become a peak expert. The battle at the Leshan Giant Buddha had made everyone aware of Xiong Ba's strength, but they didn't expect Xiong Ba to send someone to cause trouble.
"I believe this young master should be the disciple of Sect Master Xiong!”
Huo Butian stared at Qin Shuang and said.
Qin Shuang nodded slightly, her right hand that was holding the gift did not move at all.
"Rumor has it that Sect Leader Xiong's disciple has an extraordinary aura. Seeing him today, he's truly a young hero.”
Huo Butian smiled again.
"Young Master Qin, I'm extremely grateful that you've come to offer your congratulations today!”
"If you don't mind, you can sit here and let me do my part as the host.”
Qin Shuang still had a smile on her face, but she did not have the slightest intention of drinking some wine.
"But if Young Master Qin wants to talk about something else, then forgive me for being impolite. I can only ask Young Master Qin to leave.”
Huo Butian's tone became colder and colder as he spoke, and his burning eyes flashed with a strange light.
Qin Shuang sighed softly and placed the gift box on the table beside her.
"Manor Lord Huo, why do you have to be like this? The Huo Manor and the World Association forming an alliance is a match made in heaven.”
Huo Butian's expression changed.
"Young Master Qin, please return."
Qin Shuang placed her hands behind her back and said unhurriedly.
"I came here with sincerity. Are you really going to fall out with me? You have to think about the 165 people in your Huo Family.”
When Huo Butian heard this, his expression turned cold.
"It seems that Young Master Qin already knows our Huo Manor like the back of his hand.”
As soon as he said that, everyone present could not help but reach for the weapons they carried with them.
Qin Shuang smiled coldly as she took in everything.
"Today, there are already people from the World Association outside. Manor Head Huo, are you sure you don't want to reconsider?”
"We will not become the lackeys of the World Association. I advise Young Master Qin not to waste your breath and please return.”
Huo Butian shook his head.
"Lackeys?"
Qin Shuang's expression turned cold as frost filled the entire courtyard. The true qi in her body had already filled her hands as she spoke.
The people around them were shocked when they felt the true qi released by Qin Shuang.
"This youth's internal strength is actually so strong!”
Qin Shuang ignored the clowns beside her and stared straight at Huo Butian.
Huo Butian was in a trance. It seemed to see a fierce beast that looked like a dragon and a moose. The scorched earth under his feet was burning.
"Manor Lord Huo, you have to consider the consequences of going against the World Association…"
Qin Shuang continued to release the true qi in her body. The majesty emitted by the Qilin body made everyone present feel as if they were suffocating.
Huo Butian hardened his heart and bit his lips. The intense pain stimulated his brain and made him temporarily wake up from his trance.
"World Association, don't go too far!”
His eyes were already filled with blood. The Qilin's majesty made him feel extremely confused.
Qin Shuang's cold voice was like a god of death.
"Those who obey me will prosper, and those who resist me will die. Why couldn't Manor Lord Huo understand?”
Huo Butian bit his teeth tightly. He began to mobilize all the internal strength in his body, relying on his peak Houtian cultivation to compete with him.
"Dream on! I advise you to leave. There are so many martial artists here. We are not afraid of you!”
Huo Butian immediately circulated all the internal strength in his body and barely blocked the might.
"Just a bunch of ants!"
Before Qin Shuang could get serious, this group of people could not hold on any longer.
His cold tone was filled with disdain.
"Brat, don't be so arrogant!"
A loud shout and the arc of a blade came at him.
