" You can be assured, Young master. We are monitoring every single place." Huo San replied. " So far, Only normal guests are coming."
" Alright, Stay alert and tell me if anything suspicious happens."
Jun Tianyun ended his call he checked his final preparation. He was looking forward the performance of Xue Feng tonight.
.
.
The venue was already getting crowded as many influential people of the city came there. Jun Tianyun had some plans, so he chose to arrive there early.
" Jun Tianyun! You are here." Li Yuling wore a beautiful blue dress and she was elated when she saw Jun Tianyun.
" Haha, Li Yuling, You are looking really pretty in this dress."
" Thank you for your praise. Oh, Yunyun came."
" Hehe, Jun Tianyun, Is this dress looking good?"
" Well, I already told you in the shopping mall. You look gorgeous." Jun Tianyun smiled at Mu Yunyun.
" Alright, Come with me. My grandfather is curious to meet you." Li Yuling spoke.
Jun Tianyun and the two girls walked side by side, attracting the attention of the crowd.
" How, That youngster looks so handsome."
" Haha, Is it what they say, beauties accompany the hero?"
Jun Tianyun\'s charm was already by many times. So, It\'s natural that everyone finds him attractive. The girls felt their hearts thump when they saw Jun Tianyun\'s mature and handsome face. As for guys, they felt endless regret and envy.
" My grandfather is one of the members of the National Chamber of Medicine and Science. He just came back after giving a lecture abroad." Li Yuling explained.
" Is that so? I am really looking forward to meeting him." Jun Tianyun smiled as he followed Li Yuling.
" Jun Tianyun, Even my father has come today. You must be respectful to him, ok?" Mu Yunyun whispered.
" Alright, I will meet Father In Law." Jun Tianyun nodded seriously.
" You! Why you are being like this?" Mu Yunyun snorted as he pinched Jun Tianyun\'s waist.
Jun Tianyun winced in pain. Even after having such a powerful physique, something really hurts, eh?
An old man clad in a traditional white robe was surrounded by many peoples. Jun Tianyun recognized the middle aged man standing behind him. It was Li Yun, Li Yuling\'s father. Li Yun saw Jun Tianyun as he nodded in appreciation.
" Ah, So you are Jun Tianyun? The one who saved my sweet granddaughter?" The old man raised his brows as he looked at Jun Tianyun.
" Junior has seen Elder Li Min. I have long wished to meet you." Jun Tianyun bowed his head and cupped his fist.
" Haha, What a nice young man. No wonder my granddaughter keeps talking about you." Li Min laughed. Li Yuling stomped her feet when she heard Li Min. " Grandpa, Wh-What are you talking about?!"
" Elder Li, Since today is our first meeting, I have brought some gifts for you." Jun Tianyun smiled as he gave a wooden box to Li Min. The wooden box had a glossy surface and one could see exquisite patterns carved on it.
Li Min raised his brows as he opened the box. Inside the box, There was a scroll.
" I hope Elder Li like this."
" Eh? What\'s this?"
" A scroll? That looks ordinary to me."
The crowd murmured when they saw the things. Li Min\'s curiosity was piqued when he saw them. He took the scroll and unfurled it.
Suddenly, The crowd turned silent as everyone stared at the scroll with awe.
" This..."
" This is a painting! Oh my! Are you sure it\'s a painting made of colors?"
" It looks more vivid than high quality photos taken by cameras."
With the ambient lighting of the venue, everyone could see a painting depicting a grassy plain with flowing rivers as a sun rising from the horizon. They suddenly felt transported inside the painting as a mysterious charm hooked their soul.
Even Li Min couldn\'t hide his shock when he saw that painting. he felt like he was witnessing the sunrise in reality as a cool morning breeze brushed past his face.
" This painting is called The Pines and Sun. The rising sun represents prosperity and the pine represents longevity. This junior felt it will be a good gift for Elder Li."
" Hahah! Wonderful! Such a simple painting, but it\'s filled with such an abstract intent. Little Jun, You sure have a good number of treasures, eh?" Another old man walked forward as he chuckled.
" Eh? Elder Feng? Please, you are overpraising me." Jun Tianyun was startled as he greeted Feng Taihong. Li Min became more curious as he looked at Feng Taihong, " Ol Feng, You also know him?"
" Of course, He is a great benefactor of mine. Tsk, To think your granddaughter and he is classmates." Feng Taihong chuckled as he looked at the painting. " Huu, Although I can\'t identify the painter of this painting, I have only felt such feeling from the ancient paintings from Imperial Clans."
" What? Paintings from Imperial Clans? To think that youngster pulled out something like that as a gift." The crowd murmured.
" Well, Since little Jun has given me such a gift, I won\'t refuse it." Li Min smiled as he kept the scroll.
Jun Tianyunc couldn\'t help but chuckle when he saw that.
Boomers, after getting old, like two things most: Wealth and Longevity.
Jun Tianyun used his Painting Saint class to create a painting just as the liking of Li Min did. He was sure no old man could refuse a thing that might bring longevity and prosperity.
" Haha, Little Jun, You are full of surprised. Honestly, You have impressed me." Li Min couldn\'t help but praise him.
But then, He suddenly raised his head as Li Min smiled. " Mu Shui, You are also here."
Jun Tianyun\'s ears perked up as he turned around. Mu Yunyun\'s eyes brightened when she saw his father come. However, she frowned when he saw Xue Feng walking behind him.
" Uncle Li, Long time no see." Mu Shui greeted Li Min as he smiled. " You brat, Your Yuan Medicinal Hall is surely doing well, Eh?" Li Min chuckled. " I have made some contacts in the capital. They will help you in your firm."
" Uncle Li, You are doing too much. I can handle it." Mu Shui laughed as he also hugged Li Yun. After that, He turned around to look at Mu Yunyun.
" Yunyun, Aren\'t you going to hug papa after meeting after so long?"
" Hmph, Who forgot his daughter in the first place?"
" Ouch, Such harsh words. Alright, Papa is asking sorry, Ok?"
" Well, Since you have asked sorry..." Mu Yunyun suddenly ran forward and hugged Mu Shui. " Dad, I missed you."
" Me too, My child. Forgive me that I couldn\'t give time to you."
" Dad, Come and meet him. He is Jun Tianyun, The one who saved Li Yuling and me." Mu Yunyun dragged Mu Shui as she took him to Jun Tianyun.
" Greetings, Uncle Mu."
" En, Thank you, Young man. Thank you for saving my one and only child. I don\'t have words to thank you." Mu Shui smiled as he shook hands with Jun Tianyun. However, Jun Tianyun could see a cold smile on Xue Feng\'s face.
" Well, Yunyun was my friend. I had to save her."
" Yunyun, Eh?" Mu Shui was surprised when he saw Jun Tianyun using Mu Yunyun\'s nickname to call her.
Xue Feng coughed as he cleared his throat. " Ahem, Junior greets Elder Li. I hope Elder Li will accept my gift." He walked forward and greeted Li Min.
" He is Xue Feng, He is my... a talented young man." Mu Shui coughed as he introduced Xue Feng.
" Ohoho, Mu Shui, Since you have come forward for him, he must be no ordinary youngster." Li Min stroked his chin as he nodded. " Alright, Let\'s see what he brought."
Jun Tianyun\'s eyes narrowed as he felt the familiar plot playing in front of him. Jun Tianyun walked to Li Yuling and whispered something to her. Li Yuling was startled, but she nodded.
" Xue Feng, Grandpa is talking with the guests. I think he will check your gift afterward. Thank you for the gift, though." Li Yuling took the box as she spoke. Xue Feng was startled when he saw that.
" Eh? Li Yuling, You are saying you are not opening my gift here?" Xue Feng frowned. " But, I have brought something precious for Elder Li. It would be vain if you don\'t open it."
" Hoh? So you are saying what you brought is more precious than Jun Tianyun\'s Pine and Sun painting?"
Mu Yunyun walked forward as she retorted. She was always ready to bicker with Xue Feng.
" Well, I am certain that my gift is more valuable than a painting." Xue Feng chuckled. Jun Tianyun smiled as he was standing beside Li Yuling.
" Alright, Since brother Xue is insisting so much, we should open it."
Li Yuling became confused when she heard Jun Tianyun. However, she nodded as she opened the box.
" This..."
" This is a pendant?"
" Wow, The gem looks shiny."
Xue Feng\'s expression changed when he saw the pendant. But, Before he could say anything, Feng Taihong walked and inspected the pendant. " Eh? There is a nice Moon Pearl embedded in it. Hmm, This is a good pendant." Feng Taihong nodded.
Xue Feng\'s eyes brightened as he heard Feng Taihong.
" But, Compared to Jun Tianyun\'s painting? It can\'t hold a candle." Feng Taihong added.
" This...That\'s not my present!" Xue Feng protested.
" What? Now you have loosed, You are saying it\'s not yours?" Mu Yunyun raged as she looked at Xue Feng.
" Of course. Someone must have swapped the gift. I brought a different thing!"
" So, Are you saying Li Yuling swapped your gift?" Jun Tianyun sneered as he pointed at Li Yuling. " Xue Feng, I admit that you don\'t like defeat. But accusing Li Yuling is a bit too much."
Li Yuling\'s eyes turned cold as she looked at Xue Feng. " Mr. Xue, It seems you are doubting me, Eh? So, Why don\'t you even ask to search me?"
" This..."
Li Min\'s face frowned when he saw that. Mu Shui walked forward as he patted Xue Feng\'s back.
" Ahem, Young people. Xue Feng just got agitated. Everyone, please treat it as child\'s play."
" Tch, Brother Xue is really a party pooper." Jun Tianyun commented.
" You..."
Mu Shui was slightly displeased." Xue Feng, It\'s enough."
Jun Tianyun cackled in his heart when he saw Xue Feng got suppressed.
When Li Yuling was holding the gift, Jun Tianyun held it for a moment and sent it to God\'s Space. Su Qingyao coordinated with him as she replaced the item in God\'s Space. Since the time in God\'s Space flowed faster than outside, Jun Tianyun used the same trick he used to save the Flamecloud Imperial Jade.
[ Ding! You stopped Xue Feng\'s gift trope! Xue Feng\'s Destiny - 30! Host gets +30 Destiny points! Host gets 800 Fortune points!]
[ Favorability of Li Min and Mu Shui toward Xue Feng decreased! Xue Feng\'s Destiny points -20! Host gets +20 Destiny points! Host gets 500 Fortune points!]
As Jun Tianyun was smiling, A newcomer startled him.
" Hah! Xue Feng, It seems you are really alive!"
