Chapter 169 - 169: De Shun Prince’s Mansion’s Big Deal, Chen

There were many rules for gifting gifts for a banquet like the promotion Banquet, which was held because of a major event.
It was impossible to present the gifts according to the order of sitting in front and back like Wang Shuo’s coming-of-age ceremony.
For example, the Chen family’s promotion banquet this time, the order of the gifts was strictly calculated.
Merely calculating the order of the gifts had made the Second Elder busy for an entire month.
The final result also made the families who participated in the promotion banquet very satisfied.
First, the gifts were divided into three batches. The first batch was the gifts from the ninth-rank aristocratic families.
Then, according to the order of strength, the first person who was almost in the middle would present the gift, and the rest would present the gift according to the order of strength from weak to strong.
The rules for the order of the fights for an Eighth-rank Aristocrat Family were exactly the same as the rules for a Ninth-rank Aristocrat Family.
Don’t think that this arrangement is simple. You have to know that there are many families with similar strength. If you say who is stronger or weaker, there will be people who will be unhappy.
The reason why the Second Elder had been busy for a month was to calculate the strength of the aristocratic families.
“The Mo Family of Nanyang presents a gift to the Chen Family to congratulate them on reaching Level Eight. May the Chen Family live forever!”
“Jiangyou’s Liu Family presents a gift to the Chen Family, congratulating them on advancing to Rank-8. May the Chen Family live forever!”
“The Zuo Ling Wei Clan presents a gift to the Chen Clan to congratulate them on advancing to Rank-8. May the Chen Clan prosper!”
As the ninth-rank aristocratic families presented gifts, many more treasures were added to the Chen family’s treasury.
Don’t think that a ninth-rank aristocratic family can’t bring out good things. For a promotion banquet like this, the gifts are all presentable.
Moreover, the Deshun Commandery Prince had requested for everyone to develop peacefully. Only such a promotion banquet could display the strength of the family and gain an advantage in business with other aristocratic families.
In addition, this was also a matter of face. No one wanted to lose face to other aristocratic families, especially hostile aristocratic families, in such a big situation.
After all the ninth-rank aristocratic families had presented their gifts, it was time for the eighth-rank aristocratic families.
Yang Chen also focused his attention. The treasure that an Eight-rank Aristocratic Family had brought out was definitely not ordinary.
The first person to offer a gift was the Sun family of Zuo Ling.
Sun Tianke, the head of the Sun family of Zuo Ling, walked to a place ten meters away from Chen Yang and cupped his hands to congratulate him.” The Sun family of Zuo Ling has specially presented an eighth-grade ling armor. May the Chen family’s martial arts prosper!”
Hiss!
Everyone sucked in a mouthful of spirit wine!
As expected of an Eighth-rank Aristocratic Family, they were generous.
Take this Grade Eight ling armor for example. It could be considered the foundation of a Grade Nine family, yet it was generously presented to them.
Yang Chen also said happily,” Alright, the Sun family of Zuo Ling is generous. The Chen family will appreciate it.””
When Sun Tianke saw this, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes. It was painful for him to offer such a treasure.
However, there was nothing they could do about it. About ten years ago, the Sun family offended the Chen family. Although it was a normal business fight, it still made the Chen family unhappy.
Now that the Chen family was developing rapidly, they were almost on par with the Beast Tamer Sect. Sun Tianke naturally wanted to ease the relationship between the three families.
Now that Yang Chen was satisfied with the Sun Family’s gift, Sun Tianke finally felt relieved.
Next, they only needed to cling onto the Chen Family’s thigh and follow behind them to cheer for the Chen Family. Then, the Sun Family would be able to earn a lot of money.
After the Sun family of Zuo Ling was the Xu family of An Ning.
The Xu Clan had no objections to the Chen Clan’s arrangement. After all, the Xu Clan was weak and their strength was indeed at the bottom of the Rank-8.
Of course, the Xu family also wanted to use this opportunity to tell the other families. Although the Xu family was weak, they had a lot of resources. They were not someone that ordinary families could provoke.
Master Xu took out a spirit sword from his storage bag and handed it over with both hands.” An Ning’s Xu family specially offers the Peak Rank-8 Spiritual Qi Cold Rain Sword. May the Chen family reach Rank-7 as soon as possible.” “Alright, alright, alright.”
Yang Chen said three times in a row, then smiled and said,”The Xu family is indeed an old eighth-rank family. The family’s foundation is indeed extraordinary.”
Yang Chen naturally knew the reason why the Xu family was so generous. He also wanted to help the Xu family, so he deliberately said this.
Sure enough, after hearing Chen Yangpu’s praise, the family heads showed hesitation on their faces.
Although the Xu family was weak, they still had their roots. They were not someone they could offend.
The next gift from an Eighth-rank Aristocrat Clan was a feast for the eyes.
One by one, extremely precious treasures were placed in front of the stage, making everyone exclaim in satisfaction.
With so many treasures, it also greatly increased the foundation of the Chen family.
After this promotion banquet, excluding the high-end combat power, the Chen family’s foundation was almost the same as the other eighth-rank aristocratic families.
After the last Eighth-rank Aristocratic Family finished offering their gifts, the crowd didn’t feel tired. Instead, they became even more excited.
Because they knew that the people who were going to present gifts next were all legendary big shots.
After the family head who was the last to present the gifts sat down, Wang Shuo finished the wine in his cup and stood up.
“Brother Chen, I remember that during my coming-of-age ceremony, you once presented a Howling Moon Wolf cub. This Howling Moonwolf has become my main fighting force.”
“Courtesy should be reciprocated. Now, my Beast Tamer Sect will also present a Demon Venerable cub to the Chen family.”
Then, Wang Shuo took out a demon beast egg from his beast pouch.” This is Zhihe’s egg.””
“It’s actually Zhihe!”
After hearing that the demon beast egg in Wang Shuo’s hand was Zhihe’s egg, the Meng family’s head stood up from his chair in shock.
Seeing this, Sun Tianke quickly pulled Master Meng to a chair.” Master Meng, you are the head of the family. Why are you so impatient?””
When the Meng family’s head heard this, he smiled embarrassedly.” It’s mainly because this demon beast egg is Zhihe’s egg, that’s why I’m so excited..”
