"Gift?" Jiang Siming tilted his head and looked at the gloomy old man.
"Do you think your life is valuable to the Li family?" Jiang Siming said jokingly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere at the banquet suddenly became extremely weird.
"Hmph! Young people who are arrogant have to have good reasons." The head of the Ye family said with disdain, not taking Jiang Siming seriously at all.
"I like this boy's personality. Boy, my granddaughter is also of young age. Anyway, your relationship with the girl from the Qin family hasn't been settled yet, are you interested in being my granddaughter's son-in-law?" Wang Tianhua said with a laugh, and his eyes looked more and more satisfied when he looked at Jiang Siming.
"Old ghost Li, I'm not looking for trouble! If you didn't teach your grandson a lesson, I wouldn't mind helping you!" The head of the Liu family said coldly. Being threatened by a junior like this, if he hadn't been concerned about the Immortal Butcher, he would have probably taken action long ago.
Li Changsheng remained silent and looked at Jiang Siming with a smile on his face, with no intention of paying any attention to him.
Old Master Qin looked at Qin Keqing, who was worried, and shook his head helplessly. His granddaughter had finally fallen.
"Everyone, please give me some face. Today is Changsheng's birthday, and we should be harmonious." The third elder stood up and prepared to act as the peacemaker.
Ye and Liu's expressions changed slightly. It would be fine if it was someone else who spoke, but if it was the third elder in front of them, it would be a different story.
"Since the third elder has spoken, we naturally dare not be presumptuous!" Old Master Qin also spoke.
The heads of the Ye and Liu families did not say anything, indicating that they agreed with what Mr. Qin said.
"Si Ming, come and sit down!" Li Changsheng waved with a smile.
Jiang Siming did not refuse and sat directly in the seat next to Li Changsheng.
"Jiang Siming, we finally meet!" Li Tiancheng said sarcastically.
"Si Ming, I'm just being bold and calling you that. This is the eldest brother Li Tianyu, and the third brother Li Tiancheng. There's no need for us to say much now that we've met." Li Tianming said with a smile.
Li Tianyu also nodded to Jiang Siming. No matter what attitude the three people had towards Jiang Siming, at least the Li family must be united in front of outsiders.
……
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.
"Old Man Li, I have given you the face you should have given. Next, should we talk about business?" The head of the Ye family put down his wine glass and said seriously.
The other four families, as well as Wang Wei and the three elders, all focused their attention on Jiang Siming who was standing next to Li Changsheng.
"Then what do you think we should do?" Li Changsheng sighed secretly. The five major families are closely related, and there is no way the Li family can remain immune.
"Of course, we must completely eradicate the root of evil, and from now on there will be no Yellow Springs Underworld in the world!" said the head of the Ye family domineeringly. In his eyes, the cultivation world does not need the Yellow Springs Underworld at all.
Let a fallen myth remain a myth forever!
"Master Ye, although it is the Dharma Ending Age now, the world is stable. Why create disputes again?" The third elder said with some reluctance.
"The Guardian House never gets involved in the affairs of the cultivation world. Wouldn't it be better if we just keep out of each other's way?" Patriarch Liu said with a grim and somewhat sarcastic expression.
The Guardian House adheres to the doctrine of the mean and treats cultivators and those with special abilities equally. The last thing they want to see is a conflict.
Huang Wei, who was sitting at the last seat, looked a little strange.
"Director Huang, what do you think?" Old Master Qin suddenly asked, looking at Huang Wei meaningfully, as if he might take action at any time.
The other few companies also watched coldly. These old foxes were not fools. They naturally knew the truth that the mantis stalks the cicada while the oriole waits behind.
Even if there is a change of dynasty in the cultivation world, it will not be the turn of the supernatural beings to interfere.
What Huang Wei did in secret was completely transparent to the five major families.
How powerful is a family that has been passed down for thousands of years? How can these supernatural people who have only emerged in recent years guess it?
"Mr. Qin, you're joking. The affairs of the cultivation world have nothing to do with me. I'm here today just to celebrate the birthday of the Changsheng Butcher." Huang Wei smiled awkwardly. He originally wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between two tigers, but he didn't expect to get himself involved.
The Supernatural Inspectorate is indeed not weak, but it is still not strong enough in front of the five powerful and well-established families, otherwise they would not be so wary.
"Really? Then how did Yin Tianchou die?" The third elder suddenly said with a sneer.
The Guardian House never likes to get involved in disputes, but if it is bullied, no matter how docile a tiger is, it is still a tiger.
"Elder Yin? It has absolutely nothing to do with my Supernatural Supervision Bureau. Third Elder, please make sure to investigate thoroughly and do not wrongly accuse a good person."
Huang Wei was sweating profusely. He always thought he was smart, but he didn't expect that these old guys had already seen through his thoughts. They were using this birthday banquet to question him!
"I also hope that Director Huang will not get involved, let alone drag our Guardian Institute into this. Otherwise, you know the Dean's temper! Although the Dean hasn't said anything about the minions you have infiltrated over the years, don't be too smart!"
"Master Li, I am feeling unwell! I hope you will understand. I will take my leave now!"
Huang Wei said hurriedly that these old guys had already made things clear, which meant they would no longer take it into consideration.
If he stayed any longer, it would be questionable whether Huang Wei could return alive.
"Since Director Huang is not feeling well, it's fine. But since you have decided to leave, you have to leave cleanly so that everyone can look decent." Li Changsheng said with a smile.
Huang Wei felt somewhat unwilling that the plan he had spent so much time setting up had failed at the last moment.
"I am here! I'll take my leave!"
Although he was angry at these old guys, Huang Wei didn't have the courage to say it out loud.
After all, this is a world where strength is respected. No matter how many conspiracies and schemes there are, they cannot match the absolute leadership of the five major families!
……
"Now that all the outsiders have left, let's not delay any longer. Let's just say it clearly! Do you want to kill Jiang Siming or not?" Wang Tianhua said in a cold voice. Don't be fooled by his burly appearance. Anyone who dares to look down on him will pay a heavy price.
Jiang Siming smiled. The drama he had been watching for so long finally happened to him.
Qin Keqing, who was beside Mr. Qin, looked at Jiang Siming worriedly, pulled at the corner of Mr. Qin's clothes, and looked at him with pleading eyes.
"Don't worry, if he wants to leave, he can leave at any time. At least no one here can threaten him. Whether you can win his heart depends on your ability." The new old man said in a low voice.
Even Li Changsheng might not know how high Jiang Siming had reached, but Old Master Qin was sure that Jiang Siming didn't take anyone present seriously. He had never seen such a calm and ruthless person.
It’s not that Jiang Siming is heartless and ungrateful, but it seems that nothing can really move Jiang Siming’s heart. Even at the saddest time, it cannot extinguish that restless Shura heart.
