After rebirth, she discovered the space golden finger

Chapter 584 Banquet

The next morning, the entire Zhen residence was bustling with activity and filled with joy. Masters and servants, relatives and friends who came to witness the ceremony all gathered there. The bride's room was especially crowded. Pei Yun stood in a corner near the door, watching Zhen Yao being surrounded by people.

When the wedding procession arrived, the festive and noisy atmosphere reached its peak. Zhen Yao, dressed in a red wedding gown and wearing a phoenix crown, was carried into the sedan chair by Zhen Ang, and the wedding procession headed towards the Zhu family's residence...

Pei Yun watched with great interest; it was her first time witnessing someone else's wedding. However, she did not go to the Zhu family's house, but was instead ushered by servants to the main hall where the Zhen family was holding a banquet.

As soon as she entered the main hall, she felt several gazes directed at her, and the originally lively atmosphere seemed to fall silent for a moment.

Pei Yun glanced over and spotted Zhen Wei sitting at a banquet not far away. She paused, then smiled calmly, walked over, and bowed, saying, "Senior Zhen."

"Young friend Pei, you are an honored guest of the Zhen family. Please sit at the main table today..." Zhen Wei smiled and beckoned Pei Yun to sit next to him.

"Senior is too kind, then this junior will respectfully accept." Pei Yun knew the Zhen family's purpose, so she did not refuse and sat down with a smile. To her left sat Zhen Ming and his wife, as well as people from the second and third branches of the family.

Zhen Ming and his wife showed no unusual reaction, but the second and third wives were unhappy, muttering to themselves: How could they let an outsider sit at the head table!

However, this was Zhen Wei's suggestion, and they dared not voice their protest.

"Is this the alchemist who cured Uncle Zhen? He looks quite young..." At this moment, someone at the banquet suddenly spoke up.

Someone spoke up, and others, while sizing up Pei Yun, said, "Your family previously invited elders from the Pill God Palace and physicians from all over the city, but they couldn't heal the injury, yet a little girl healed it..." Their words revealed a tone of doubt.

Pei Yun knew that these people were from other families in Zilang City. Ostensibly, they came to observe the ceremony, but in reality, they came to inquire about Zhen Wei's health.

The Zhen family had hinted a few days ago that the Zhen family patriarch would be attending the wedding, and everyone was welcome to come and witness the ceremony.

It should be noted that after the Zhen family patriarch was injured, he never appeared in any public place again. Moreover, the doctors in the city "accidentally" spread the news that the Zhen family patriarch was seriously injured and bedridden, and everyone in Zilang City believed that Zhen Wei was about to die.

Zhen Wei was the only cultivator in the Zhen family to break through to the Void Refinement stage. With his death, the Zhen family will be completely without support, and then the major families in the city will ruthlessly begin to divide up the Zhen family's resources.

So you can imagine how shocked these family members who came to inquire were when they saw the Zhen family patriarch appear at the banquet with a smile on his face and moving freely!

The person who cured Zhen Wei's injuries was actually a young girl with no background!

"This is all thanks to my granddaughter, Zhen Yao. This young friend Pei is her friend. He came to attend her wedding, but he accidentally stumbled upon the medicinal soup brought by the servants. Young friend Pei noticed the problem with the soup just by smelling it..."

Zhen Wei's smile remained unchanged, but his gaze subtly surveyed the guests present. This time, he had invited all the physicians and alchemists who had treated him in Zilang City.

Sure enough, when the topic of herbal medicine came up, the guests at the banquet had different expressions, and the originally festive atmosphere became stagnant.

However, Zhen Wei was only testing the waters slightly; he didn't expect to find the person who harmed him based on just a few words. He then went on to praise Pei Yun:

"...I only learned from my granddaughter's story that Young Friend Pei is also a disciple of the Pill God Palace and a fourth-grade alchemist. It is truly the Zhen family's good fortune to have invited Young Friend Pei. I would like to offer you a toast to thank you for saving my life."

"Senior Zhen, you're too kind." Pei Yun glanced around, picked up the wine glass in front of him, and returned the toast. "Actually, Senior's injuries weren't originally this serious. Now that you've stopped taking the problematic medicine, with some time to rest and recuperate, and with Elder Zheng's pills, your body will gradually recover..."

Upon hearing this, Zhen Wei's eyes flickered slightly, and the wrinkles on his face appeared even deeper with his smile. He was very satisfied with Pei Yun's cooperation.

Many people present changed their expressions slightly after hearing Pei Yun's words. They did not expect that the Zhen family patriarch's injuries could be cured. The other families who had originally hoped that this old man would die soon inevitably felt disappointed.

Some people didn't believe Pei Yun could heal the Zhen family patriarch's injuries, and said sarcastically, "I wonder where this Fellow Daoist Pei's master is, which sect or family he belongs to. The Dan Shen Hall elders and all the physicians in the city couldn't heal the injury, but a disciple of the Dan Shen Hall cured it. This is truly unbelievable..."

Upon hearing this, the physicians and alchemists who had come to observe the ceremony became restless, their faces turning somewhat grim. The implication was that they were no match for a young girl.

These people were naturally unconvinced, and just as one of them wanted to test Pei Yun, a middle-aged man excitedly stood up and came to Pei Yun's side, his eyes shining, and said: "...Is this fellow Daoist Pei Yun, the creator of 'Pseudo-Dan Pattern'?"

"'Pseudo-Dan Pattern'? Pei Yun?" The crowd was shocked, but most of them did not know what "pseudo-Dan Pattern" meant. However, the physicians and alchemists were stunned and looked at Pei Yun.

"I am indeed Pei Yun."

"Fellow Daoist Pei, I've long admired you. I was fortunate enough to witness your brilliance during the alchemy competition in Tiandan City years ago." The middle-aged man was an ordinary alchemist from Zilang City.

His words piqued the curiosity of everyone at the banquet, even the Zhen family members were unaware of the matter.

"Old Zhou, do you know this Fellow Daoist Pei?"

The alchemist known as "Old Zhou" never expected to meet such a prominent figure in the alchemy world here. When he was secretly observing Pei Yun earlier, he felt that Pei Yun's face was somewhat familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before. Now he finally remembered.

"...Back then, during the alchemy competition in Tiandan City, Fellow Daoist Pei astonished everyone by refining a fifth-grade flawless pill engraved with pseudo-pill patterns. He stunned the city lord of Tiandan City and all the alchemists present, including myself. I greatly admire Fellow Daoist Pei..."

Old Zhou excitedly answered everyone's questions, then looked at Pei Yun, "Fellow Daoist Pei, I wonder how long you will stay in Zilang City? I would like to ask you for some guidance on alchemy..."

Pei Yun did indeed need to stay in Zilang City for a while longer to treat Zhen Wei. After thinking for a moment, she said, "I wouldn't presume to offer guidance, but as fellow alchemists, we can exchange ideas..."

After the alchemist's interruption, many people who had previously doubted Pei Yun's abilities began to believe him more.

Some people thought to themselves: The Zhen family is incredibly lucky; they actually saved this old man from the brink of death!

It's important to understand that this not only saved Zhen Wei, but also saved the Zhen family from falling into the abyss!

Even Zhen Wei himself hadn't expected that Pei Yun was such a rare genius alchemist, far exceeding his expectations. A hint of surprise flashed in his shrewd eyes.

His purpose at this banquet was to get Pei Yun to cooperate with him and make the guests believe that his injuries would be cured in the near future. In this way, the powerful families would not dare to press too hard, the Zhen family could catch their breath, and he would have time to plan for the next generation of the Zhen family.

It seems that this goal has been achieved, thanks to Pei Yun's reputation!

The banquet proceeded smoothly, with everyone toasting and laughing. Pei Yun was surrounded by many people who wanted to befriend her. After all, who wouldn't want to befriend a fourth-grade genius alchemist?

Just then, Wang Xiao, who had gone to the Zhu residence with Yin Yanyue to join in the fun, hurried in from outside and anxiously came to Pei Yun's side: "Fellow Daoist Pei, your friend Fu Lingchen is here. He went to the Zhu residence to snatch the bride!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the steward of the Zhen family rushed to Zhen Wei and Zhen Ming's side: "Master, Master and Madam, something has happened!"
