Chapter 535: 299 Birthday Celebration Scene, This is the World of the Capital’s Big Shots! (Please subscribe! Vote for monthly tickets!)_2

In the main hall, by the time the two of them arrived, the birthday celebration had begun.

Ye Jiuyun, the old master, had changed into a martial arts training outfit and was sitting in the seat of honor. Although he was already sixty years old, there was not a trace of aging on his face.

He appeared to be no different from someone in his thirties, his presence was strong, and as he sat there, he commanded the whole room with overwhelming authority!

No wonder he had always led special forces within the official ranks!

This was Gao Ziyuan’s first time seeing Ye Jiuyun.

She quietly asked her best friend Ye Shu beside her,

"Ye sister, are you sure that’s your grandfather? Are you sure your grandfather is sixty? I can’t tell at all that he’s sixty! He looks just like someone in his thirties!"

Gao Ziyuan was truly shocked.

After all, a sixty-year-old man’s body and organs should be in decline.

One could easily see the signs of age.

But this old master Ye, really didn’t show it at all.

Gao Ziyuan even felt that old master Ye had more vitality than she did!

She, a young person in her twenties who had graduated from university just a few years ago, had less energy and looked older than a sixty-year-old man?

Ye Shu said, "My grandfather is indeed sixty, you don’t need to doubt that! Who would throw themselves a birthday banquet if they weren’t turning sixty? As for why he doesn’t seem old at all, that involves my grandfather’s early years of cultivation in Taoist practices, practicing special martial arts and cultivation technique, and keeping himself in training for many years, which has had the effect of prolonging life!

Plus, inside the official ranks, taking medicinal herbs, so he looks like this! Not showing any signs of aging at all, instead full of energy!"

Ye Shu’s words rang out in the live broadcast room.

Among the live broadcast audience, some had daring thoughts.

"Do you think, this old man being sixty and looking so vigorous, might actually be all show and no substance? Would he fall down with just a touch?"

"66666! Why don’t you go and try? Old master Ye is still leading Dragon Country’s special forces, I’ll give you a thousand bucks for a plane ticket and buy you insurance to go and challenge the old master, see if he’s all show or not?"

"Go ahead, there’s nothing to lose in trying! He’s a sixty-year-old man who looks decent! One punch surely won’t kill you."

"Old master Ye: Heard someone wants to challenge me? Come on, young man, I like the likes of you who think you’re superior, how about this, I’ll throw a single punch, and if you’re still breathing after that, I’ll admit defeat!"

"The last daring one went to challenge Qingyun Mountain’s Heavenly Master and is still sweeping floors on Qingyun Mountain, let me tell you secretly, the school that old master Ye Jiuyun used to practice at has some connection with Qingyun Mountain, they were a branch from Qingyun Mountain in the early years!"

...

Hearing someone wanted to challenge old master Ye, many in the live broadcast laughed.

The reputation of Ye Jiuyun was not just for show.

A famous old instructor of Dragon Country’s special forces.

Don’t look at him being sixty now, but after years of martial arts training and healthy living,

his actual physical age was still at the peak of his twenties and thirties.

And old master Ye’s combat skills, could just any Tom, Dick, or Harry challenge him?

To challenge old master Ye, it’s afraid it would be like taking one punch from him, and then the old master would kneel and beg you not to die!

...

At the main hall, old master Ye nodded, indicating that the birthday ceremony could begin.

Today, the bigwigs from the imperial capital who were invited to the Ye Mansion’s birthday celebration all brought gifts if they were the younger generation of the Ye Family.

"Zhengli Group’s Chairman Xiao Yongsheng brings his family to wish old master Ye happiness as vast as the Eastern Seas and longevity greater than the Southern Mountains! Presenting a White Jade Guanyin statue!"

"Yong’en Technology’s Chairman Wang Beiyu wishes the old master fortune and longevity as immense as heaven and earth, brightness as perpetual as the sun and the moon! Offering a pair of top-grade jadeite bracelets!"

"Jiashi Real Estate Group’s Director Gao Tianyuan wishes the old master health and happiness, a constant joyful smile! Presenting Tang Yin’s painting ’Pine Bamboo Rock’!"

...

All the bigwigs began to step forward to offer their birthday greetings.

While they greeted him, they presented their prepared birthday gifts.

Watching gift after gift being brought forward by attendants to be inspected by old master Ye Jiuyun and then taken away,

was full of ceremonial significance.

Old master Ye sat in the main hall, also showing a smile.

Giving a red envelope to everyone who came to celebrate!

For good luck!

Watching this scene, these expensive gifts,

audiences in the live broadcast room with knowledge of such matters discussed it furiously.

"Wow! Is this how the wealthy celebrate birthdays? It’s so impressive!"

"These birthday gifts are outrageous! Truly at a bigwig level! That White Jade Guanyin, made from top-grade white jade, and carved with the image of the Guanyin, the craftsmanship so fluid, definitely the work of a master, it wouldn’t go for less than a few million!"

"The White Jade Guanyin is just an appetizer, look at those jade bracelets – that’s outrageous! Ice-kind emperor green jadeite bracelets, this quality is not even seen on the market, they’re the kind of stuff that goes to auctions! Even a single one is worth tens of millions, and here they are in pairs! Conservatively estimating, they couldn’t go for less than fifty million!"

"Forget fifty million, I know these jade bracelets – they were auctioned by Delijia Auction House just the other day, the final transaction price was ninety million Dragon Country currency! Your estimate of fifty million needs to be doubled!"

"Wow! Ninety million! Almost a hundred million! That’s insanely luxurious!"

"A hundred million used to buy gifts for someone? Is this the world of top-tier tycoons?"

"A hundred million is like a listed company! And a pretty strong company at that! A listed company’s worth just given away as a gift? I’m envying to tears!"

"The jade bracelets, the White Jade Guanyin, you guys think a few tens of millions, a hundred million is a lot? Guys, the main attraction is yet to come! Do you know how much that authentic ’Pine Bamboo Rock’ by Tang Yin costs?

Tang Yin’s paintings and calligraphy are rare, and this painting presented for old master Ye’s celebration is so large, it probably starts at a few billion at the least! Doesn’t this trump any bracelet or Guanyin in terms of being impressive?"

"A few billion? Damn! That’s even more incredible!"

"I really don’t understand, casually giving away a few billion, does the Ye Family have that much clout? These people really don’t see money as money!"

"You just don’t get it, first, you can never imagine the wealth of the imperial capital’s bigwigs! Homes worth a few billion are bought as easily as vegetables in the market, why would they care about sending a little gift?

Second, you can’t imagine the power old master Ye Jiuyun of the Ye Family has within the officials of Dragon Country, being able to show your face and be remembered by this old master today could benefit you in ways beyond your imagination!

Do you think these bigwigs are reluctant to give gifts? In fact, they might not have had the chance even if they wanted to! If it wasn’t for old master’s sixtieth big celebration today, they likely wouldn’t have had this opportunity to give gifts!"

"The world of the ultimate elite, you don’t understand!"

The viewers in the live broadcast room were abuzz with discussion!

With each bigwig’s felicitations, the Ye family’s birthday banquet became more and more lively.

And right at this moment, old master Ye suddenly stood up.

He seemed to sense something.

His previously joyful expression turned gloomy in an instant.

"Humph!"

Old master Ye snorted coldly, his gaze shifting outside the main hall!

Seeing old master Ye suddenly rise, all the guests present were stunned.

"What’s going on?"

"Old master Ye? Is he upset?"

None of the guests knew what had happened.

Everyone was just giving birthday wishes.

Just a second ago, the old master seemed quite happy, all smiles, so why did his mood change so quickly?

Following the direction of the old master’s gaze and looking outside,

they realized then that several of the Ye Family’s security guards had come running over, with injuries on their faces!

Trouble had struck!

Seeing the injuries on the guards’ faces, the guests were shocked.

Someone dared to attack Ye Family’s people?

Had they gone mad?

Who could be so bold?

Suddenly, several people walked in nonchalantly.

They were unmistakably a group of foreigners, who stepped into the main hall of the Ye Mansion with arrogance.

One of them even dragged an unconscious security guard, and threw the guard into the main hall where the Ye family was hosting the birthday banquet.

By their demeanour, it was clear they were here to cause trouble!
