The beautiful lady walked up with a smile and patted Long Ling'er's head . "Ling'er is one year older now . "
"Mother, I don't like celebrating like this," Long Ling'er muttered, looking at the crowd . She only wanted to celebrate with people close to her, but because of her status, she had few true friends . Many came to her birthday, but they weren't genuine . It was just because of her status .
"Silly girl . You must remember that whether you like it or not, the Dragon Clan is one complete piece," the beauty said gently . The girl was still too young . She couldn't understand many things .
Long Ling'er nodded, half understanding .
"Auntie, Ling'er . " Long Mu walked over now .
"Hmph . " Long Ling'er glared at him and then looked away, ignoring him .
"You're still angry at your brother?" Long Mu asked helplessly .
"Ling'er, don't do that . " Madame Long's voice turned serious . Long Mu was the descendant of her elder brother .
"Mother, you always side with him," Long Ling'er said, pouting .
"What's wrong? What did your brother do?" Madame Long said .
"Ask him . " Long Ling'er seemed upset .
"Auntie, do you know about Ling'er buying the Celestial Pavilion?" Long Mu asked .
"Yes, I've heard about it . " Madame Long nodded . How could she not know about something like that?
"I went to the Celestial Pavilion and told the person to leave, so Ling'er became upset," Long Mu said, smiling wryly .

"Mother, Brother Futian is so nice to me . He even taught me how to play the guqin . I became a Dragon Master thanks to him too," Long Ling'er said .
Yang Xing stood to the side in shock . Long Ling'er hadn't been so nice when Ye Futian was here .
"I've heard of this too . Senior Feng is modest . You really think that it was all due to him? You have to know who your teacher is . That was just a coincidence," Long Mu said . He obviously didn't think that a youth in the Arcana Plane could teach Long Ling'er . It was most likely because Senior Feng had done most of the work and Ye Futian came at the right time .
"You don't know anything," Long Ling'er said, pouting .
"Alright, alright," Madame Long said gently . "You're the birthday girl today . Don't get angry . Since everyone's here, let's start the banquet . "
Long Ling'er still let out an upset huff . She didn't know if Brother Futian would come . He'd promised . He wouldn't go back on his words, right?
When the banquet started, Madame Long and Long Ling'er sat in the main seats . Long Mu sat on the side . The others were all from the Dragon Clan and they came up with gifts .
Long Yan was one of them . He couldn't buy that musical piece from the workshop and the West Court had many guqins . Unless it was a famous one, it was meaningless . Thus, he'd bought a necklace from Qingyun Street . It was pretty and also a defense ritual implement . It could protect the wearer . Long Ling'er always wore a dragon necklace, but it was still well-meaning . He honestly couldn't think of what to buy since Long Ling'er didn't lack anything .
Long Ling'er was emotionless when she accepted Long Yan's necklace . She put it to the side and reached out a small hand to caress the dragon necklace on her neck . It glowed softly and was warm . Long Ling'er smiled . Her uncle had given this to her .
Raising her head, Long Ling'er looked into the distance and then pouted . Did that guy lie?
"Madame," a voice said now .
Madame Long looked up . "Yes?"
"A guest is here," the person said .
Long Ling'er's eyes brightened . "Let him in . "

"Who is it?" Madame Long asked .
"Gu Yunxi from the Gu Clan," the person replied . "She said she's here for the miss's birthday . "
When Long Ling'er heard that it wasn't Ye Futian, she was disappointed .
"Why is Sister Yunxi here?" she wondered . After all, she was still young and wasn't the Dragon Clan's elder . It was just a birthday . Usually, only seniors would have outsiders come to celebrate their birthday .
However, the Gu Clan and the Dragon Clan have always had a good relationship .
"Oh, Yunxi, let her in . " Madame Long smiled . "Mu, go welcome her personally . "
"Okay . " Long Mu nodded . He rose and went outside .
Many youths from the Dragon Clan were confused but excited . They'd all heard of Gu Yunxi's beauty . In the Divine Sky City, she was known for making one want to give up a country for her . That was how beautiful she was .
They all knew why the madam told Long Mu to go personally . The two clans have always had a good relationship . It was rumored that when the last family leader had died, the two families had wanted an arranged marriage . It would have been Long Mu, son of the family leader, and Gu Yunxi of the Gu Clan .
But then Long Mu's father died and this wasn't mentioned anymore . The two families still had a good relationship though . Their interactions had just lessened a bit .
Now that Gu Yunx was here for Long Ling'er's birthday, the madam was obviously happy, so she had Long Mu go welcome her .
A while later, a group came over . There was a beautiful girl beside Long Mu . She wore a pale pink dress that complemented her graceful and slender body . Her swanlike flawless collarbone was extremely sexy . However, her beautiful features were serene . Her movements were soft, like a floating fairy .
She lives up to her name . For many, it was their first time meeting Gu Yunxi . She was as beautiful as people said . Many of the Dragon Clan were impressed . When she stood with Long Mu, it felt like they suited each other . Madame Long smiled warmly when she saw this . She hoped they could marry .
Gu Yunxi matched Long Mu well .

"Madame Long," Gu Yunxi bowed slightly . Her actions were light and graceful .
"Yunxi, I haven't seen you in a long while . Come sit beside me . " Madame Long's voice was gentle . It was obvious she really liked Gu Yunxi .
Gu Yunxi didn't object . She walked to Madame Long and sat down . She and Long Mu were on either side of Madame Long . Then she looked to Long Ling'er and she smiled . "Ling'er, do you still remember me?"
"Sister Yunxi, you underestimate me . You're so pretty . How can I not recognize you?" Long Ling'er was being playful .
"Ling'er, when you grow up, you'll be as beautiful as Madame and surpass me," Gu Yunxi said modestly .
Long Yan kept watching Gu Yunxi . When she spoke, he was confused . This voice was familiar . He'd heard it not so long ago .
So it had been her . No wonder she didn't care about him .
"Sister Ling'er, I came in a rush and didn't know what to prepare . Today, I visited the music workshop and bought a song . Since you are a musical sorcerer, I will gift it to you . Please don't look down on it . " Gu Yunxi took out the musical score for Long Ling'er . "I like this song too, so I had someone copy it . I hope you won't mind . "
"Of course not . " Long Ling'er shook her head .
"What kind of score would attract you too?" Madame Long asked, smiling .
"A very hot-blooded song," Gu Yunxi said . "The artistic conception is powerful and affects the listener greatly . You can sense the composer's brilliance from this piece . It is called Elegance too . I heard that the owner was the one who wrote it . I wonder which master wrote it . "
"Since Yunxi likes it, it must be a great song . If there's the chance, have Mr . Feng look at it," Madame Long said . "Speaking of music, Yunxi, you are also skilled in it . Few your age can be compared to you . "
"No way . Many in the Dragon Clan is skilled in musical sorcery and there are Dragon Masters too . I cannot be compared . "
"I know someone skilled in musical sorcery and he's around Sister Yunxi's age too," Long Ling'er said .
"You're too young to know about skills . You underestimate your Sister Yunxi," Madame Long said .
"It's true . " Long Ling'er glared at her mother .
"I believe that anyone Ling'er looks up to will be amazing," Gu Yunxi said .
"Yes . He promised he would come, but he still hasn't," Long Ling'er said, pouting . "Liar, liar . "
"Madame, someone else came to visit the miss," the servant from before came and said again .
"Let him in . " Long Ling'er jumped up . "No, I'll go personally . "
"Ling'er . " Madame Long grabbed her . This girl… She was the star but wanted to leave all the guests here . Long Ling'er was upset, but Madame Long continued, "Let him in . "
"Yes, Madame . " The person nodded and then left .
A while later, Ye Futian was brought over . When he saw the scene, surprise filled his eyes . Seeing the beautiful lady beside Long Ling'er, he guessed who she was . He realized he'd been fooled again .
Yes, he had been fooled . Why did he believe her? She said that her parents wouldn't spend New Years with her and needed him to accompany her .
This girl was too good at acting pitiful .
"Brother Futian, today's my 14th birthday and I was scared you wouldn't come, so…" She made puppy eyes at Ye Futian . "You won't be angry, right?"
Ye Futian gave her a look . What could he say? But it was her birthday and he hadn't prepared anything .
At that time, everyone present looked at Ye Futian . They'd obviously heard of him . He was the one that the princess of the Dragon Clan bought the Celestial Pavilion for . Their relationship seemed to be even closer than they'd expected . They couldn't help but feel jealous .
