"Is this the antler of a white jade elk?”Director Chen said in surprise.
The entire place was in an uproar as they exclaimed in admiration.
"That's right. This is the antler of the White Jade Elk. It's said that it has the effect of prolonging life after consumption.”The Second Prince said.
Everyone was amazed by the Second Prince's gift.
For people like Director Chen, if he gave something related to cultivation, it might not be enough to catch Director Chen's eye.
On the contrary, the old principal might like something that had nothing to do with cultivation.
"Thank you, Second Prince." Director Chen gestured for the attendant beside him to put away the brocade box.
"The First Prince has arrived."
At this moment, a voice came from outside.
Everyone else quieted down. The Second Prince also retreated to the side without batting an eyelid.
However, the person who appeared before them was not the First Prince, but a man in silver armor.
"It's the First Prince's number one swordsman!”
This person carried a very large wooden box and walked in front of Old Director Chen. He knelt on one knee and said,"The First Prince is unwell today and is not in a good condition to attend the birthday banquet. I hope that Old Director Chen will forgive him.
He had specially prepared this birthday gift to congratulate the old Principal Chen on her seventieth birthday!”
As he spoke, he opened the wooden box.
Seeing what was inside the wooden box, the surrounding people all took a few steps back.
Old Director Chen took a step forward and looked at the things in the wooden box in surprise.
It was a human head.
"This is the head of Fan Zetong of the Southern Wei Kingdom. Back then, the Southern Wei Kingdom plotted to besiege the old Director Chen with four people. Today, he was offering this man's head as a gift to Old Director Chen!”
When Director Chen saw this, his gaze was a little complicated. He didn't say anything and let the person accept it.
However, the people around them were noisy.
"I didn't think that the First Prince's gift would be so special.”Xiong Wu exclaimed.
"Who is this Fan Zetong?" Ye Hao asked curiously.”
"Didn't I tell you before that old Dean Chen was killed by a Soul Marquis Realm and three Martial Soul Realms eight years ago? In the end, Director Chen escaped with injuries.
On the other hand, one of the enemy's Martial Lord Realm warriors was killed, and two of them were seriously injured, leaving behind hidden injuries. And that Soul Marquis Realm had never entered the battlefield again.
Fan Zetong was one of the remaining Martial Marquis Realm warriors. He hadn't expected the First Prince to take his head and give it to Director Chen as a birthday gift.”Xiong Wu said in admiration.
The First Prince had used the head of a Martial Lord Realm expert from an enemy country as a birthday gift.
After this interlude, everyone began to pay their respects to Director Chen.
"Director Chen has specially invited a beautiful woman to perform a song for everyone at today's birthday banquet.”Su Mei, the Vice Principal of Zi Yang College, clapped her hands.
A veiled beauty walked in with a few maids holding a zither.
"It's her?" Yang Xing was a bit surprised.
"Spring Swallow Brothel's Courtesan Belle, Zi Yan, has actually been invited!”
"I heard that Ziyan never attends other people's family banquets.”
"It seems that Director Chen is still the one with the most face.”
Ziyan walked to the platform that had been set up for her in the middle and placed the zither on it.
"I, Ziyan, wish to congratulate Director Chen on his birthday.”Zi Yan said a few words respectfully and then began to pluck the strings.
Yang Xing looked at Zi Yan and then at the Second Prince who was sitting in front of him. He had a feeling that Zi Yan was here for the Second Prince.
Could it be that she wanted to assassinate the Second Prince here?
"Teacher Yang, why are you sitting here? You really made it easy for me to find you." Ouyang Qingqing suddenly appeared beside Yang Xing.
Yang Xing was a little surprised and could not help but be moved.
Could it be that this girl was here to take him as her master? That would be great.
After three times, his mission would be considered complete, and he could take Ouyang Qingqing as his student.
"Why did you come to Director Chen's birthday banquet?”Yang Xing asked.
"I'm here with my grandmother." Ouyang Qingqing replied.
Ouyang Qingqing's grandmother was the principal of the White Rose Academy, so it was very normal for her to be invited.
However, Ouyang Qingqing didn't talk about her apprenticeship and just chatted with Yang Xing.
Could it be that this girl had already retreated in the face of difficulties and did not want to acknowledge him as her master?
"Director Chen, Lin Nan knows that you like poetry. He specially pondered for a few days and wrote this poem as a birthday gift.”Lin Nan suddenly pretended to be loud and stood in front of Director Chen to offer his gifts.
"Shi? This is interesting." Director Chen's eyes lit up. It seemed like he really liked this.
Lin Nan took out a piece of white paper and pretended to be solemn."In eight years, he shocked the four kingdoms and fought four marquises alone. After success, he retired from the Hidden Dragon Pool and raised the Banbi Mountain of the Northern Yan Dynasty.”
pa, pa
The sound of applause came from the surroundings. The content of this poem was very simple and easy to understand. It was about Director Chen's life.
The first sentence was about the battle eight years ago, and the second was about Dean Chen's teaching and contribution to Zi Yang College.
"Teacher Lin Nan is indeed a great teacher. This poem is not bad.”
"This birthday gift is excellent."
"The old principal is really good at nurturing talents."
Praise came from the surroundings.
Ouyang Qingqing pouted and whispered,""How can this poem compare to the ones from Spring Swallow Brothel?”
"You also like those poems from Spring Swallow Pavilion?”Yang Xing looked at Ouyang Qingqing.
Ouyang Qingqing nodded, her eyes shining."Even my grandmother couldn't compare to this literary giant's talent and state of mind. When I saw his poem, I felt like I was going to melt. I really admired him!”
As she spoke, Ouyang Qingqing felt that something was wrong. She hurriedly looked at Yang Xing and said,"Teacher Yang, I like it very much too! Besides my grandmother, you two are the two people I admire the most.”
Yang Xing smiled and said nothing. Xiong Wu, who was at the side, also drank his wine and did not speak. It was really uncomfortable to endure it.
"I'm ashamed." After reciting the poem, Lin Nan clenched his fists.
"I'll accept Lin Nan's poem." Director Chen accepted Lin Nan's piece of white paper.
Lin Nan walked down, but he did not return to his seat directly. Instead, he walked towards Yang Xing.
It seemed to have coincidentally bumped into Yang Xing.
"Aiya, isn't this Teacher Yang? Oh right, I haven't seen Teacher Yang give me a birthday gift just now.”Lin Nan suddenly pretended to speak loudly. His voice could be heard by the surrounding tables.
In addition, Lin Nan had been in the limelight previously, so many people's attention was still on him.
"What's wrong? Could it be that Teacher Yang did not prepare a birthday gift? The old principal's birthday is such an important matter, yet you're not even allowed to give her a birthday gift. Isn't that too embarrassing?”Lin Nan looked reproachful.
The surrounding people also started gossiping.
"If you've said enough, then get lost. You just casually wrote something and you're bringing it out to embarrass yourself. I'm ashamed of you. However... it seemed that these things might not have been written by Teacher Lin Nan.”Yang Xing looked at Lin Nan.
These words hit the nail on the head. How could he write this poem? He had hired someone else to write it.
"Nonsense. You didn't prepare a birthday gift and you're still talking about others? If my poem is not good, do you, Yang Xing, only know how to write poems? I think you don't even know what poetry is.”Lin Nan pointed at Yang Xing's nose and scolded.
This commotion completely attracted the attention of many people around.
If Yang Xing couldn't find a way out, he would definitely embarrass himself here and even affect his future in Zi Yang College.
"I really can't hold it in anymore. Brother Yang, if you don't want to tell me, I will!”
Xiong Wu took a sip of wine and pointed at Lin Nan with a red face."You said Yang Xing doesn't know how to write poems? Do you know who wrote the most popular poems recently?
Kill a person every ten steps, leave no trace for a thousand miles. As the sun set, the heartbroken man was at the end of the world. Can you, Lin Nan, write it?!"
