Family Portrait

Few people knew about Han Xiaosang's background. After returning to the tavern, Chen Xi told Li Yao about her background.

Li Yao certainly knew Han Xiaosang. One of the reasons he detained Derek's soul after the battle on the high seas cruise ship was to find out the secrets surrounding Han Xiaosang. However, in Chen Xi and the others' minds, Li Yao had always been in the provincial capital, which was why they needed to report to Li Yao.

now,

Han Xiaosang is already a member of the tavern.

Because she is not close to anyone except Lin Xiaoxi and Chen Xi, she becomes withdrawn and rarely communicates with the outside world once she leaves Lin Xiaoxi or Chen Xi.

So Li Yao used his privilege as Wallfacers to get Han Xiaosang's household registration transferred to Li Yao family.

certainly,

This operation was done covertly, and the two elders were unaware of it.

Li Yao didn't dare let his parents know either; who knew what kind of trouble those two might cause!

They just didn't expect that the two elders would be caught having such thoughts by their senior before they even got to see the girl!

Li Yao explained, "Don't overthink it, I'm still very young! This is a relative of mine."

Li Shishi was a little embarrassed. "Oh dear, I knew it!" She smiled sweetly and said, "By the way, could someone come out and help me carry my things? I brought gifts for everyone."

Li Yao: "Go, you two huskies!"

As Cao Erha stood up and walked outside, he said, "I'm doing this out of respect for my senior! Not because I'm listening to you, Li Da Yao!"

Seeing this, Chen Tao and Shuisheng Ge also stood up. "Let's go see if we can lend a hand."

Regardless, Li Shishi is still their senior, so they should help her.

Only a lazy bum like Li Yao wouldn't tolerate that senior!

They soon returned carrying piles of gifts.

Anyway, my senior is rich.

The piles of gifts were distributed so that almost everyone received one, and she even carefully selected suitable gifts for everyone.

For example, the senior student picked out a Van Cleef & Arpels necklace for Chen Xi and a Bulgari earring for Lin Xiaoxi... In short, she paved the way with money, giving everyone a small gift, which made everyone feel a little embarrassed.

Finally,

Li Yao looked at his empty hands. "I don't have any?"

The senior student raised an eyebrow. "You don't."

Li Yao: "..."

Okay.

He clapped his hands and called out to everyone, "Come and eat!"

But once I sat down, I realized something was missing.

He clicked his tongue in disappointment. "Old Man Lu and Boss Zhou aren't here..."

Feng Li laughed and said, "Oh, it's rare that you still remember Old Lu and the others! Don't worry, I've made a call. They should be arriving soon. Just wait a little longer."

About forty minutes later, Old Man Lu and the others arrived. Seeing the room full of people, they smiled and said, "You're all here."

Boss Zhou Li popped out from behind Old Man Lu: "Hey everyone, it's been a long time!"

Also present were Qi Qi and the Kings.

Li Yao looked around. "Where's Ye Yu?"

Old Man Lu said, "He has a mission."

Okay.

Li Yao asked everyone to pour their drinks, raised his glass and tapped it, making a crisp clinking sound, "It's truly a wonderful thing to have met everyone this year. Li Yao toasts you all."

He raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp.

Everyone laughed and drank their wine.

After finishing their drinks, everyone picked up their chopsticks and began to eat heartily. Soon, the table was filled with clinking glasses and laughter. As they ate, everyone praised Chen Xi's cooking skills and her kind personality.

Under the dim yellow light,

The steam was billowing and bubbling. Everyone was a little reserved at first, but soon they started offering each other drinks.

Big Sis Feng Li, was the weakest and was the first to be taken down.

Who would have thought that a fifth-tier peak expert would have black marks on his face from drinking!

The remaining people were evenly matched!

Lin Xiaoxi can't drink either, but she's never lost a game!

In the end, she got a little angry and just drank it all herself!

Cao Erha laughed when he saw this, "Girl, you're making things difficult for yourself."

Lin Xiaoxi: "I'm so thirsty! (`Д)!!"

"Fine, fine! "Cao Erha immediately backed away.

He still remembers the words Lin Xiaoxi said when they first met, "Ugly, no thanks"... It still hurts him to this day.

It's almost the last day of the year, and I can't afford to be heartbroken any further.

Later on,

Chen Tao's girlfriend also got drunk and went to keep Big Sis Feng Li. Several girls also set up a small table next to them and whispered to each other—judging from their enthusiasm, they looked like they had been good friends for decades.

But most girls are like that, right?

Zhao Shuai once said on the Qipa Talk" Qipa Shuo": How do you become good friends with girls?

Just drink more water during class.

Now only a few men are left at the dinner table.

Chen Tao had drunk a bit too much and was a little confused. "When I was a kid, my teachers often said that junior high was strict, high school was intense, college was relaxed, and society was dark... I'm only now truly understanding what that means."

Cao Erha chimed in from the side. "That's right! Back in junior and senior high school, I was a troublemaker and didn't do well in school, so my dad almost beat me to death!"

Old He thought for a moment, then nodded at Cao Erha: "Brother, he might not be talking about studying."

Cao Erha: "???"

Zhou Li was the first to react, and he slapped his thigh. "Holy crap, I always thought this was about reading!"

Qi Qi silently raised her hand and pinched the soft flesh of Zhou Li's waist...

A sudden burst of power!

Twist! Instantly,

Boss Zhou is quite handsome, but his face is twisted like Papa Ma Yun's.

Li Yao and Shuisheng Ge looked at each other in silence.

Who knew that Brother Tao and Old He were actually hidden God of Cars?

Old Man Lu never drank much, and he never got drunk. After drinking about the right amount, he found Chen Xi to test her cultivation during this period. He hadn't had a proper chat with her before because he was in charge of security matters in Kyoto.

The group gathered in twos and threes to drink and chat.

The tavern was filled with a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere.

After testing Chen Xi, Old Man Lu turned around and was stunned by the scene in the tavern. Then, a kind and carefree smile appeared on his old face.

All those years of bloodshed and turmoil were worth it, absolutely worth it!

However, the unprecedented changes of the past century are about to erupt.

How long can this peaceful and happy life last? But no matter what, even if it burns him to ashes, he will stand at the forefront of that battle line! So he is Wallfacers —facing not only the iron wall between China and the West, but also the enormous barrier between the present world and the Warp!

He charged into battle facing the wall, fighting countless battles, never complaining about death! There was no way around it; he simply loved seeing that kind of spectacle.

When they arrived at the tavern, the tables and floor were a mess. Chen Xi brought down a DSLR camera from upstairs and said, "Shall we all take a picture together?"

"Okay."

The group gathered together, all smiles. In the center stood the oldest man, Old Man Lu, who stood ramrod straight, leaning on his Dragon-Snake Staff and dressed impeccably, a true gentleman. On either side were Li Yao and Chen Xi. Sauron was being held in Han Xiaosang's arms, his meow face filled with utter despair. Senior Lin Xiaoxi, Big Sis Feng Li, and Zhou Li stood in a row under the lights, staring at the camera, all smiles.

"Click".

With a crisp click of the shutter, this scene was captured forever.

Old Man Lu, who had lived alone for almost half a century, wiped his eyes and said with a smile, "Oh dear, this wine stings my eyes..."

This is the first update, and the pacing is really comfortable. I hope you all enjoy it. The second update is coming soon!
