Chapter 1914: Chapter 1914: Isn’t It Just a Few Bottles of Elixir?
The Old Master heard this and furrowed his brows, looking at Fu Xiyan with a clearly inquisitive look: Weren’t you the one who told me not to take it out?
Fu Xiyan: "..."
He hadn’t expected that not only was someone unafraid of exposure, but they also wanted to take the opportunity to advertise.
Thinking this, he returned the Old Master a look that said, "Go ahead and take it out."
Previously, he didn’t take the item out because he was afraid of arousing envy and having someone target Gu Zhiqi.
Now...
He might as well help her with some advertising.
If worse comes to worst and she really gets targeted, he can dispatch a couple more people to protect her.
With Fu Xiyan’s words, the venue suddenly fell silent.
Everyone looked at the Old Master expectantly.
After receiving Fu Xiyan’s look, the Old Master was silent for two seconds, then gestured to the old butler and handed him a key, "In the safe, the big red gift box, go and retrieve it."
The old butler obliged, taking the key and quickly went upstairs.
After he went upstairs, the venue started murmuring in a low voice.
"What’s the gift? It seems so mysterious."
"What could a little girl from the Secular World possibly give, other than something expensive?"
"I think Old Master Fu treasures it quite a bit."
"If it was really worth showing, it would have been taken out already."
"We’ll know what it is in a while."
"Who knows, maybe the Fu Family might decide to swap it with another gift to save face."
"Come on, if the Fu Family really wanted to swap it, why go through all this trouble? They could have just written it in the booklet."
...
Although the murmurs were low, many small voices coming together turned into a buzzing noise.
However, the Fu Family pretended not to hear it.
The Old Master Fu’s table, his brothers, and friends asked him again, "Old Fu, what exactly is it? Just tell us, don’t keep it all mysterious."
Yet again, there was no answer from the Old Master.
He stroked his beard and said serene as ever, "You’ll know in a moment."
Several people: "..."
Seeing him like this was infuriating.
Fortunately, no one had to wait too long as the old butler came downstairs with a red gift box.
As soon as the old butler descended, everyone rose, looking at the gift box in his hands.
But since the item was inside the box, no one could tell what it was.
Instantly, everyone felt like a cat was scratching at their hearts, itching with curiosity.
"Master, the item has been retrieved." The old butler respectfully handed the item to the Old Master.
To be honest, he was also curious about what was inside the box.
He wasn’t around when Gu Zhiqi gifted it, so he didn’t know what was inside the gift box.
However, he had witnessed Gu Zhiqi’s true abilities before.
The Third Miss was so skilled, whatever she gave shouldn’t be too bad.
"Second Brother, hurry up!" Big Uncle Fu was impatient and, seeing the Old Master’s slow movements, immediately reached over to lift the gift box lid.
As the lid was lifted, everyone instinctively held their breath, staring at the gift box.
Those who were a bit farther away were stretching their necks to see.
When they saw a few small jade bottles lying in the gift box, everyone’s eyes were filled with confusion.
"What’s this?"
Third Master Fu voiced what everyone was thinking.
The Old Master Fu took out one small jade bottle from the box, saying calmly, "Elixir."
Third Master Fu: ?
Elixir? What’s so special about an elixir?
Everyone’s reactions matched Third Master Fu’s; they felt a bit disappointed and slightly contemptuous.
They thought the Fu Family was making a big deal out of nothing.
It’s just a few bottles of elixir, isn’t it?
