Dugu Bo's Brother

After the brief interlude, Dugu Bo exchanged a few pleasantries with Jiang Huai before departing, and Jiang Huai led Gu Yue and Xiao Wu into the academy.

Tang San told Jiang Huai, "Brother Huai, this Tai Long's grandfather is Tai Tan, the patriarch of the Power Clan. He is a level 84 Soul Douluo, and his martial soul is also a Giant Ape, a power-attack type. I am worried he might come to cause you trouble, but you don't need to worry. Tai Tan calls me Young Master when he sees me, so I presume I should have some influence over him."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Huai patted Tang San on the shoulder and said, "I understand, Little San. I'm tired from walking around today, so I'll head back to rest first."

Tang San nodded and watched Jiang Huai leave. After returning to his dormitory, Tang San picked up a pen, wrote a message on a piece of letter paper, and then sent someone to deliver the letter to the Power Clan.

Soon, the patriarch of the Power Clan saw the contents of the letter, which read:

'Jiang Huai is my elder brother. Your descendants have all come to provoke him, and I am very dissatisfied.'

As soon as Tai Tan saw it, he knew who had written it. Was this written by the Young Master he had acknowledged not long ago? There was even a signature at the bottom.

Late at night, in a private room of the Shrek canteen, Ning Rongrong used her experience with high society to decorate the room like a noble's birthday celebration.

Gu Yue and Xiao Wu were pulling Jiang Huai toward the private room, while Ning Rongrong urged the staff to bring out the cake and other dishes.

Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu, Gu Yue, Tang San, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, and the teachers of Shrek had all gone to great lengths to decorate the room to make Jiang Huai feel at home. To help Jiang Huai find a suitable gift, Ning Rongrong had even asked her father to bid on an item at an auction house early on.

At this moment, Jiang Huai had been brought into the canteen. Gu Yue covered Jiang Huai's eyes with both hands, while Xiao Wu held his hand and led him forward.

After Xiao Wu brought Jiang Huai and Gu Yue to the location, she went outside the door to give the signal for the people inside to get ready.

Hearing the bird calls from outside, Ning Rongrong immediately told everyone to grab their ribbons and prepare to throw them.

Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo Chen Xin were also there. They did not participate in the children's entertainment but sat at their seats, waiting for the birthday boy to arrive.

Of course, they had also brought gifts; how could one attend a birthday banquet without bringing a gift?

Soon, Xiao Wu opened the door and pushed Jiang Huai inside. As soon as Jiang Huai entered, Ning Rongrong and the others threw the shredded ribbons into the air.

Ning Rongrong and the others shouted in unison, "Happy Birthday!" x7

Jiang Huai was stunned, standing in place in a daze. Gu Yue stepped forward, took his hand, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Huai shook his head and said, "It's nothing. It's just that after all these years, this is the first time someone has prepared a birthday party for me."

Tang San stepped forward, punched Jiang Huai on his left shoulder, and laughed, "What's wrong? Aren't you touched?"

Jiang Huai nodded and smiled, "Of course. Although I don't know where my family is, you all are already my family."

Soon, Jiang Huai was led to the large cake. Thirteen candles were stuck into the cake, and the words "Happy Birthday" were written on it.

Jiang Huai took a deep breath and blew out all the candles, and everyone cheered.

Soon, Jiang Huai began to cut the cake. The first piece was handed to Ning Rongrong, the organizer of this banquet.

Then came his lover, Gu Yue. He handed the second piece of cake to Gu Yue, and then everyone began to cut their own portions.

After the cake was finished and everyone was full, it was time for the gift-giving segment.

Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin stood up and walked over. Ning Fengzhi said with a gentle smile, "Little Huai, I am Ning Rongrong's father. I wish you a happy birthday. It was Rongrong who told me about your birthday. Please accept this humble gift as a token of our meeting and a birthday present."

Jiang Huai nodded and stood up, saying, "Thank you, Uncle Ning."

On the other side, Chen Xin took out the sword he had bought at the auction. He said, "Jiang Huai, your name reminds me of my master. He was my master and my elder, and I respected him greatly. I heard from Rongrong that you also like to practice swordsmanship, so I am giving you this sword as a gift. Of course, I might be a stranger to you, but I will give you a small hint: Heaven Dou Grand Auction House."

Hearing this, Jiang Huai was stunned and realized something, saying, "You are those two."

Ning Fengzhi nodded, confirming Jiang Huai's guess. Ning Rongrong came up, picked up a box, and handed it to Jiang Huai, "Brother Huai, this is a pair of glasses I asked Dad to help me pick out. Although I don't know if you are nearsighted, I think boys who wear glasses are the most handsome, so these glasses are for you."

Zhu Zhuqing stepped forward and handed over an opened box, her voice cold and clear, "The preparation was rushed, please don't mind. This is one of the gifts my father gave me back then. It is a short dagger called the Golden Cat Dagger."

Tang San took out a hidden weapon and handed it to Jiang Huai, "Brother Huai, this is a Soul Guidance Device I made not long ago, inspired by your Deadly Void. I call it Three Thousand One Hundred Li. The attack method is not an energy ball, but an arrow. It has powerful penetration and fierce attack power, and I even coated the blade with a bit of poison."

Ma Hongjun stepped forward and said, "Brother Huai, I didn't know what to give, so I just spent a high price in Heaven Dou City to buy a painting. It depicts the scenery of the core area of the Star Dou Forest. I hope Brother Huai likes it."

Oscar stepped forward and scratched the back of his head, "Brother Huai, you know I have some social anxiety, but I made a pair of goggles by hand. They might not compare to the value of their gifts, but I put my heart into it. I hope Brother Huai likes them."

Xiao Wu jumped in front of Jiang Huai and said, "It's my turn, it's my turn! Brother Huai, the gift I prepared for you is..."

Xiao Wu took out a carrot from somewhere. The carrot was tied with a bow and was wet. Jiang Huai asked suspiciously, "This is?"

Hearing this, Xiao Wu's face turned red, and she said shyly, "Brother Huai, this was carefully prepared for you by me. You can't refuse!"

Jiang Huai accepted it helplessly. Gu Yue walked up gracefully and kissed Jiang Huai on the cheek, "A-Huai, the gift I prepared for you is a bracelet I wove with my own hair."

Gu Yue took out the silvery-white bracelet, which had a small silver dragon figurine hanging from it. Gu Yue also took out a scale and handed it to Jiang Huai.

Jiang Huai took the scale and asked, "Gu Yue, what is this scale?"

Gu Yue whispered, "This is my reverse scale. When you encounter danger, inject your soul power into the reverse scale, and I will immediately arrive by your side to protect you."

As she spoke, Gu Yue had already put the bracelet on Jiang Huai's right wrist. Jiang Huai gently pinched Gu Yue's earlobe.

Gu Yue blushed and leaned into Jiang Huai's arms, and everyone fell silent at this moment.

Not far away, to liven up the atmosphere, Jiang Huai and Tang San decided to spar to entertain everyone.

Tang San used the method Jiang Huai had taught him, using Blue Silver Grass to transform into various weapons. Tang San held a sword condensed from Blue Silver Grass and pointed it at Jiang Huai.

Seeing this, Jiang Huai waved his hand, no longer hiding, and summoned his second martial soul, the Jinxu Longyuan Sword.

In the shadows, Jiang Yi watched this martial soul and was instantly stunned. She clearly recognized that this sword was the Longyuan Sword, only Jiang Huai's sword was even more ancient-looking than hers.

Chen Xin watched and was also stunned. Isn't this sword the Longyuan Sword?

Chen Xin called out to Tang San, "Tang San, let's make this spar more interesting. I will give you a bit of this old man's sword intent."

Jiang Huai curled his finger and said, "Come on, Tang San."

Tang San had also accepted the sword intent given by Chen Xin, and gripping the Blue Silver Sword, he charged forward.

Jiang Huai easily raised his sword to parry, laughing, "Why are your hands so limp, Tang San?"

With a powerful flick, Jiang Huai sent him reeling, and then he prepared to use a sword technique.

"Xuanyuan: Hidden Edge Style!"
