Hua Xinrui gasped, and stood up: "That's right, why hasn't my sister come yet? I'll look for it."
With that said, she stood up from her seat.
"No need to go, Senior Sister Hua is here." Zhuang Su looked at Hua Feihua who followed Wen Yuanhong.
Shen Gunian looked over with complicated eyes.
"Sister, here, here." Hua Xinrui walked over a few steps and pulled Hua Feihua over.
Shen Gunian thought, Hua Xinrui probably didn't know that her sister was actually her brother, right?
"Senior Brother Shen, you seem very unhappy?" Zhuang Su kept feeding Xiao Hei, with concern in his eyes.
Jimo Qing's eyes flickered, she reached out and squeezed Shen Gu Nian's hand under the table.
"I'm fine." Shen Gunian smiled, looking at Wen Yuanhong who was sitting alone next to the host, his eyes deepened.
Wen Yuanhong is the wife of the city lord of the Hua family. Since it was a big night banquet, she should attend it with her husband so as not to lose their tongues. However, judging by the reactions of the people present, they seemed to be used to it.
Immediately, Shen Gu Nian realized that this might not be a night banquet, but a family banquet, right?
Let them participate, really good?
"Your family members are really huge." Shen Gunian asked casually.
Hua Feihua sat across from Shen Gunian, sitting with Hua Xinrui, perhaps because she was worried about her sister who only came home once a year, Hua Xinrui chatted all the time.
Hearing Shen Gunian's question, Hua Feihua nodded: "My father has three brothers, and he is the third oldest."
Shen Gu Nian raised his eyebrows, looked around at the tables and chairs all around, there were estimated to be hundreds of people, and he didn't know if all of them were from the Hua family.
"This is... a family banquet, right?" If Shen Gu Nian hadn't mentioned it casually, Xu Chaoan really wouldn't have known that it was a family banquet.
"Isn't it a bit abrupt for us to participate?" Liu Qingming frowned slightly.
Zhuang Su was surprised, and exaggeratedly said: "Senior Sister Hua actually has so many relatives?"
The envious little eyes made Hua Feihua a little embarrassed.
"Also...not bad." Hua Feihua really didn't know the family members, only knew that the two uncles would attend this night banquet, and the rest were side branches.
Due to the sacrifice of the Hua family, the members of the immediate family were withered, and at a glance, the people sitting in twos and threes were almost all women, and the men either hadn't come yet, or they hadn't.
Thinking of this, Hua Feihua looked down at the wine glass in her hand, wondering what she was thinking.
At this time, Hua Xinrui stood up, secretly pulled Hua Feihua's sleeves, and looked at the door.
Everyone also looked over subconsciously, and saw two middle-aged men coming with their hands behind their backs, followed by men and women in twos and threes.
I saw the Hua family who were chatting in the seats all stood up, with a bit of uneasiness on their faces, and called out respectfully: "Second City Master, Third City Master."
Shen Gunian raised his eyebrows. He thought there was only one city owner, but he didn't expect it to be the third hall.
This aura is quite sufficient.
However, he could see through the identities of the people present at a glance.
Those sitting in the lower right seat are all side branches, who call Hua Feihua's uncle and second uncle the second city master and the third city master.
And the one sitting in the upper right seat, called uncle or uncle, is a member of the immediate family.
The vacant seat in the upper left seat was specially reserved for the two city lords.
In ancient times, men were superior to women, and men were left on the right and women were on the right. The pedantic rules of the Hua family are really annoying.
But what makes Shen Gu Nian interesting is that there are three seats on the main seat. Since the two city lords are sitting on the upper left seat below, then who owns the other seat on the main seat?
"The city lord arrives—"
A high-pitched voice sounded.
Shen Gunian was finally able to see the demeanor of Hua Feihua's father "eating Suzaku".
"Damn!" Hua Xinrui cursed in a low voice.
Everyone at Shen Gunian's table looked at her in unison.
Hua Feihua's face was also a little ugly, because Hua Feihua's father came out, and there was another coquettish woman behind him, who was seated on the left.
Xu Chaoan was puzzled: "Why is Xinrui so angry?"
Shen Gunian raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect Senior Brother Xu and Hua Xinrui to be so familiar, and they called them by their names.
Hua Xinrui spoke bluntly, looked dissatisfiedly at the woman who appeared with her father, took a deep breath, and said slowly, "It's my father's second wife."
Shen Gunian felt that the real reason for her anger should be that her father appeared with the second room, and let the second room sit in a seat that only the main room should be able to sit together, right?
This is undoubtedly within the family, which has severely reduced Wen Yuanhong's face and status, and has also successively improved the status of the second wife.
"Huh?" Shen Gunian noticed that Hua Feihua's father's appearance was even older than the two eldest brothers.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help turning sideways and asked quietly: "Senior brother, is this the five declines of heaven and man?"
Hua Feihua's father is also a Nascent Soul cultivator, and his appearance should not change any more. Normal monks will definitely think about the five declines of heaven and man.
Or, if the cultivation base fails to advance, it will be backlashed, and the cultivation will stop here, and it will slowly age like a mortal.
Jimoqing's eyes were dim, and she smiled coldly: "The way of heaven, how can he allow him to live as long as the sky?"
After a pause, he explained: "You should know every year, the reincarnation of heaven, right?"
Shen Gunian nodded, he knew that there is no hell in this world, and that it is the Dao of Heaven that controls reincarnation, and those who die and Dao disappear, what kind of cause they sow, what kind of fruit they will reap.
The phrase that mortals often hang on their lips: Good and evil will be rewarded in the end, the way of heaven is like reincarnation, if you don’t believe me, look up, the sky will forgive anyone.
Therefore, what Hua Feihua's father fears most now should be death, right?
He is the advocate of participating in eating the Suzaku, and he is also the chief culprit. Once he dies, the punishment of heaven, and the death of his soul is inevitable. I am afraid that there will be endless punishment waiting for him.
Shen Gunian's eyes lingered on the three city lords of the Hua family, and found that the faces of the three of them were old-fashioned. He guessed: "Among the people who eat the Suzaku, they all have a share. Hua Feihua's father eats the most?"
Jimoqing's eyes were slightly cold: "He is greedy."
Shen Gu Nian hissed, and muttered: "It's not that we didn't report, it's that the time hasn't come yet."
Suzaku is a god, and if he eats a god, apart from improving his cultivation, there may be unknown punishments for him, right?
"Wait, the time is coming soon." Jimoqing's Danfeng eyes fell on Wen Yuanhong coldly.
Only then did Shen Gunian realize that Wen Yuanhong's eyes seemed to be looking at this side, at first he thought he was looking at Huafeihua and Huaxinrui.
But no, what she was looking at was Jimo Qing.
Thinking of the Suzaku blood in her hand, I am afraid that after the banquet, Wen Yuanhong will invite Jimo Qing to a gathering.
Zhuang Su lay on the table and sighed, "It's so boring."
I thought it would be some kind of fun banquet, but it turned out to be a family banquet. Except for the three brothers of the Hua family talking, the rest echoed a few words.
Xu Chaoan and Liu Qingming also felt that the atmosphere of the scene was not lively, they just lowered their heads to pick up food.
Hua Feihua doesn't talk much at all, Erhua Xinrui seems to be depressed because of her father's behavior with Erfang, and keeps drinking with her head down.
When the banquet was over, Xu Chaoan and Liu Qingming left first, and then Zhuang Su also felt bored and went back.
Hua Feihua stood up and wanted to see them off, but her father, who had been neglected all the time, stopped her and said, "Feihua, come here."
The uncle of the Hua family and the second uncle looked over together.
Those family disciples who had already left the table, saw this posture, but accelerated their pace to leave.
At this time, Shen Gunian was sensitive to a sinister gaze from the Hua family's uncle and second uncle, and subconsciously turned his head, but he couldn't find who it was.
This made Shen Gu Nian slowly frown.
