Chapter 394: Chapter 394 My Master Forgot My Birthday and Tried to Sell Me to a Rival Sect Again

“Master! Master! Something big has happened!”

The servants’ panicked shouts echoed through the courtyard, breaking the previously lively atmosphere.

Their voices overlapped in urgency, drawing the attention of everyone nearby.

Naturally, Liu Yichen heard them clearly.

His brows furrowed slightly as he turned toward the commotion, a faint sense of unease rising in his chest.

“Speak! What has happened?” Liu Yichen demanded, his tone sharp and authoritative.

The servants stumbled forward, their faces pale and their breaths ragged as if they had just run for their lives.

For a moment, none of them could even form a complete sentence.

“M-Master…” one of them stammered, clutching his chest as he struggled to catch his breath.

Finally, another servant managed to steady himself.

He raised his head, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

“Master… Mentor Lin Feng is here!”

Those words struck like thunder.

“What?!”

Liu Yichen’s eyes widened, his calm demeanor instantly shattered.

For a brief moment, he thought he had misheard.

But judging by the terrified expressions of the servants, there was no doubt…

Lin Feng had truly arrived. His mind raced.

In the next instant, realization dawned on him like a bolt of lightning.

“Liu Yang!”

He exclaimed the name almost instinctively.

Images of the morning flashed through his mind and his casual joke, his son’s innocent excitement, and the promise that had seemed so trivial at the time.

Now, that joke had turned into reality. A bitter smile appeared on Liu Yichen’s face.

He already knew it was too late to regret anything now. Blaming himself would accomplish nothing.

Without another word, he rose to his feet abruptly, his sleeves fluttering as he moved.

There was no time to hesitate. No time to think too deeply.

He had to personally welcome this unexpected guest.

As he strode toward the entrance, his thoughts churned.

Today’s banquet… it had been prepared as a simple birthday celebration for Liu Yichen.

Though he had put in effort, the dishes were, at best, modest and common spirit beasts, ordinary spiritual herbs, and fine but not extraordinary wine.

It was, of course, dumb to celebrate one’s birthday so grandly, especially for long lived cultivators.

To most, it would be a feast. But to someone like Lin Feng… Liu Yichen clenched his fists slightly.

A figure capable of defeating a Spirit Severing powerhouse… someone who might very well come from an ancient, unfathomable clan… what he had prepared would likely seem no different from dirt.

Not even worth a second glance.

The more he thought about it, the more pressure weighed down on his chest.

Sweat began to form faintly on his forehead despite his cultivation.

“I hope the clan leader won’t blame me for this…” Liu Yichen muttered inwardly, a trace of anxiety surfacing in his heart.

Even so, he did not slow his pace.

Very quickly, he exited his home and headed straight toward the celebration hall, where the entire commotion had begun.

Liu Yichen arrived in a hurry, his robes fluttering as he stepped into the main courtyard.

The moment his eyes landed on the scene before him, his heart skipped a beat.

Lin Feng was already seated at the main table of honor.

The seat that symbolized the highest respect within the Liu Clan… had been taken without hesitation, yet not a single person dared to object.

In fact, the entire area was unnaturally quiet, as if everyone feared making the slightest sound in his presence.

Taking a steadying breath, Liu Yichen quickly stepped forward and stopped a few feet away before bowing deeply.

“Young Master Lin Feng, you honor my clan with your presence! I apo…” He paused mid-sentence.

Originally, he had intended to apologize for the simplicity of the birthday celebration, fearing that it might appear crude in Lin Feng’s eyes.

But before he could finish his words, Lin Feng calmly spoke, cutting him off with effortless ease.

“I’m happy to be here, Master Liu Yichen. Kindly accept my simple gift. I was not prepared when I came.”

As he spoke, Lin Feng rose to his feet. With a casual motion, he retrieved a small, palm-sized box and handed it over.

The gesture was simple. Yet it carried an invisible weight.

Liu Yichen’s pupils contracted slightly as his gaze fell upon the box.

His hands, which had always been steady, trembled faintly as he reached out to receive it.

A gift… From someone like Lin Feng…

In Liu Yichen’s mind, Lin Feng was no ordinary cultivator.

He was someone who could defeat a Spirit Severing powerhouse with ease.

How could such a person give something ordinary?

Even if Lin Feng called it simple, Liu Yichen knew better than to believe those words at face value.

To Lin Feng, it might be insignificant. But to the Liu Clan…

It could very well be a treasure beyond imagination.

At this time, Liu Yichen didn’t even dare to open the box.

“Th-Thank you for the gift, Young Master Lin Feng!” Liu Yichen said, his voice trembling slightly despite his efforts to remain composed.

At that moment, several figures hurried into the courtyard.

They were clearly elders and high-ranking members of the Liu Clan, their expressions tense as they rushed over after hearing the news.

Compared to the panicked servants earlier, they managed to maintain some level of composure but the shock in their eyes was impossible to hide.

Liu Yichen noticed their arrival and, instead of feeling pressured, he felt a hint of relief.

With more people of status present, the burden of hosting Lin Feng no longer rested solely on his shoulders.

He straightened slightly and gestured toward the newly arrived figures.

“Young Master Lin Feng, allow me to introduce you,” Liu Yichen said respectfully.

“These are my clan’s patriarch… and our esteemed elders.”

His tone carried both humility and caution. Because standing before them…

Was someone none of them could afford to offend.

***

An hour later, the celebration began, and guests kept flowing in.

When one of the guests saw Lin Feng, she couldn’t help but be more shocked than anyone else.

“It’s him! Why is he here?”
