Cheers!

That evening, the guild hosted a banquet for Bai Xiaowen and Bai Xiaowen to welcome them back and celebrate their triumphant return from the Spirit Realm.

Xiao Jun, Bai Xiaowen's younger sister, and Sister Zheng, his professional agent, will both be attending. In addition, Zhang Jing, the old manager of the Super God Potion Shop, and Sun Hecheng, the Alchemist, have also volunteered to come.

Bai Xiaowen specifically called Chen Guowei:

"What are you doing? Come have a meal with us..."

"Ah... Your guild is throwing you a welcome banquet, is it really appropriate for me to go?" Chen Guowei said, feigning politeness.

"Just tell me if you're coming or not."

"Come on! It's a fool not to take advantage of a good deal," Chen Guowei said cheerfully. "By the way, should we call Lao Xiang and the others too?"

"Just call them whatever you want. There's plenty of space, so it doesn't matter if a few more come."

Bai Xiaowen hung up the phone. He had his reasons for inviting Chen Guowei and the University Team members over. On one hand, the Super God Guild needed to recruit new blood, and these outstanding Awakened students from Jinghai University were all promising talents. On the other hand, even if Chen Guowei and the others didn't join the Super God Guild in the future, it wouldn't hurt to get to know one or two guild leaders in advance.

It was still early, and in the spacious private room, besides Bai Xiaowen and his wife, there were only Li Beihai and his wife, who was also Li Shuyi's biological mother.

Li's parents flanked Li Shuyi, showering her with concern and care. The delay of over ten days had given them quite a fright.

Li Shuyi was quite happy and briefly recounted her experiences in the Kane Plane.

Almost every time she mentioned a significant achievement, Li Ma would let out a gasp of surprise.

Feeling a little embarrassed, Li Beihai coughed and said, "The two children did a very good job, but you should be a little more reserved... I've ventured into the Spirit Realm so many times and even acquired top-tier equipment, and I've never seen you make such a fuss."

Li's mother pursed her lips. "I'm happy to see my child succeed, so what?"

"We didn't just get equipment this time, we also got a Permanent Team-Building Item!" Li Shuyi said.

Li Beihai's mouth dropped open in astonishment, and he pressed for an answer, "What kind of Team-Building Item?"

"It's called Oath of Black Edge. After Xiao Wen created the team, it was confirmed to be Elite Tier permanent team, and it even has team enhancement effects! You can choose two out of three!" Li Shuyi smiled happily. "Dad, you've never had anything like this before, have you?"

A hint of embarrassment appeared on Li Beihai's stern, gorilla-like face as he coughed repeatedly, "Um, this..."

"Silly girl, what are you comparing yourself to your father for?" Li's mother defended Li Beihai for once.

Li Beihai, having found a way out, casually remarked, "Hmm... Elite Tier teams are indeed rare. Ordinary teams offer a choice between two enhancement options, and generally, the options given are inferior to those of Elite Tier teams. Of course, Hero Squad are even more formidable, offering a choice of three out of five enhancement options, each with a considerable improvement."

"Furthermore, Xiao Wen also completed an S-Tier Hero Quest and received a permanent territory..."

"Territory? What does that mean?" Aunt Li didn't quite understand.

"S-Tier ... Hero Quest?" Li Beihai's eyes widened in surprise.

Bai Xiaowen said, "It's barely finished; it's less than half complete."

Li Beihai couldn't quite describe the feeling in his heart. As a future father-in-law, seeing such an excellent son-in-law should have been a happy thing, but Li Beihai still felt a sense of sadness, like the Yangtze River generation surpassing the older generation, the older generation dying on the beach...

Bai Xiaowen didn't hide the matter of the territory from Li Beihai, mainly because he wanted to ask about some information related to the territory.

However, Li Beihai didn't know much about territories. After all, he had never done Hero Quest in his life, let alone S-Tier hero mission, or even Hero Quest below B-Tier. Including his circle of Awakened Ones, very few people had completed Hero Quest, and he had never heard of anyone receiving a Permanent Territory as a reward.

As for how to manage the territory and generate profits, that's something Bai Xiaowen will have to figure out for himself.

Not long after, Zhang Jing, the old shop manager, and Sun Hecheng arrived.

"Old Zhang, Master Sun," Bai Xiaowen stood up to greet them, smiling apologetically, "I'm sorry, my return being delayed by half a month must have had a significant impact on the shop's potion auction plans."

"Yes, you'd better toast this old man properly later," Zhang Jing said.

Sun Hecheng glanced at Zhang Jing with amusement, waved his hand, and said, "It's nothing. My teacher and I understand the priorities perfectly well. After all, you're still an Awakened One. You should try to gain as many benefits as possible in the Spirit Realm."

"How's business at the shop? Is it picking up?" Bai Xiaowen asked.

"Since the teacher implemented the promotional auction plan, the shop's reputation has grown significantly. Many customers from other places have called to order Perfect Grade potions. However, we only have your two bottles in stock, and to maintain the weekly auction, we dare not agree to that."

Sun Hecheng continued, "However, last week's auction had to be canceled at the last minute because there was no more Perfect Potion in stock, and your promotional plan was also forced to stop. Some people have begun to question the authenticity of the young potion master... With the weekend approaching, many people are asking if there will be an auction. Fortunately, you're back."

Bai Xiaowen apologized repeatedly, admitting that his delayed return had indeed affected the pharmacy's plans.

The door to the private room was pushed open, and Sister Zheng walked in with Xiao Jun.

"Brother!" Xiao Jun ran over and grabbed Bai Xiaowen's arm, then pinched it at a ninety-degree angle, "You told me to come back and you didn't call me!"

"But we saw him that very evening..."

Bai Xiaowen pretended to grimace, and Xiao Jun's heart softened. She quickly let go of Bai Xiaowen arm and gently rubbed it, saying, "I'll sit here with you..."

"Okay, okay..." Bai Xiaowen quickly reassured her sister.

"Is everyone here?" Li Beihai glanced around.

"I have a few more classmates..." Bai Xiaowen had just started to speak when the door to the private room opened again.

"Old Bai!" "Captain!" "We've missed you so much!"

A group of teenagers ran in, laughing and joking, like they were performing a comedy routine.

Bai Xiaowen stood up to greet them, "Xiang Hui, Lao Chen... Old Feng is here too, welcome, welcome..." He unexpectedly spotted Han Xu in the crowd, but his expression didn't change, and he still invited Han Xu to sit down.

Chen Guowei sat down on Bai Xiaowen's other side. "Old Bai, you're finally back. If you hadn't come back, the captain's position would have gone to someone else."

Bai Xiaowen laughed and said, "Not that fast, right? For ordinary people, it takes four years to be considered dead after they go missing... What, is our senior Liu Fei getting impatient?"

"That's hard to say..." Chen Guowei said.

"Don't listen to Old Chen's nonsense," Xiang Hui said, scoffing. "Liu Fei isn't stupid. He knows that jumping around now won't do him any good. He'd better sit back and wait..."

"Alright, let's not talk about him." Bai Xiaowen spared Han Xu's feelings.

Li Beihai raised his glass. "To celebrate Shu Yi and Little Bai's triumphant return, everyone, cheers!"

"Cheers!" The private room was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
