After searching to no avail, the three of them separated in the square.
However, Sima Chongting left and came back again, catching up with Ye Hong.
He handed the bank card back to Ye Hong, with a slightly embarrassed look on his face: "Brother, thank you for helping me. I'll give this thing back to you."
Unexpectedly, Ye Hong smiled slightly and had no intention of taking it.
"Just treat it as my senior brother's compensation for you."
Ye Hong smiled and went straight back to the wing, leaving only the confused Sima Chongting in place.
"Compensation? What compensation?"
Sima Chongting kept scratching his head and stared blankly at the bank card in his hand.
When Ye Hong returned to the room, he saw Sima Zhengming waiting for him there.
"Where have you been?"
Ye Hong told Sima Zhengming about the mysterious woman.
"Trying the tiger to leave the mountain? No wonder."
Sima Zhengming's face looked a little ugly.
"By the way, Taoist Master, didn't you catch up with that person?"
Ye Hong suddenly asked.
"Don't mention it, that bastard doesn't know what kind of evil martial arts he has practiced, he is as slippery as a loach.
The poor man has lost his way. "
Sima Zhengming stood up and said calmly: "I always feel that something big will happen at tomorrow's birthday banquet. You should be careful."
After saying that, he left the room with an ugly expression.
Ye Hong touched his chin, silently thinking.
In the evening of the next day, Sima Zhengming's 70th birthday banquet was officially held in the square in front of Taiyi Palace.
At the main table, Sima Zhengming was chatting happily with several old people who were also gray-haired.
Presumably these people are all close friends of Sima Zhengming.
In the square, the banquet tables were filled with guests who had gone up the mountain to attend the birthday banquet.
Because they went up the mountain together, the Bagua sect disciples arranged Ye Hong, Sima Chongting and Yan Lan at the same table.
There were several guests at the same table that Ye Hong was not familiar with.
Yan Lan still had the same reserved look, just lowering her head and eating the food silently, not talking to Ye Hong at all.
After Ye Hong's assist, Sima Lu seemed to have a great change in view of Sima Chongting.
Not long before the banquet started, the girl secretly joined the table and squeezed out a seat next to Sima Chongting.
At the next table, Sima An was so angry that he almost broke his teeth when he saw Sima Chongting and Sima Lu being so intimate.
"Why!
Why am I so much better than that boy Sima Chongting, but the boss looks down on me and chooses that stupid boy!
Why did even the junior sister fall in love with him!
All of this should have been mine! "
Sima An's face was twisted and he glared at Sima Chongting sinisterly.
Then he glared at Ye Hong's back with a more sinister look.
What happened yesterday made his hatred for Ye Hong even deeper.
Suddenly, Sima An seemed to have remembered something, and a sinister smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He suddenly left the table and headed towards the main table.
Many people were attracted by his actions and focused their attention on him.
The main table suddenly became quiet.
Sima Zheng was obviously in a good mood, with a rosy face and a smile.
He stroked his beard with one hand and asked with a smile: "Xiao An, is there something wrong?"
Sima An bowed respectfully to Sima Zhengming and said solemnly: "Master, this disciple heard that the master was about to celebrate his birthday a few months ago, so he went to prepare early.
The disciple knows that you, the master, like ancient music, so I went to the Duanmu family, a famous ancient music family in Linzhou City, to get a guqin. I will give it to you, the master, as a birthday gift today! "
