Chapter 272: The Brave Marquis didn’t come?
As soon as Ning Quan took action, the other princes did not want to be left behind. They took out the gifts they had prepared and presented them to everyone for their appreciation.

There are glass corals taken from the East China Sea, thousand-year-old white lotuses brought from the snow-capped mountains of Western Xinjiang, earth fire demon lotuses brought from the demon realm, and many other rare things that open up one's eyes.

The ninth prince Ning Chen also prepared a gift. When the gift was taken out, Chen Xian was stunned.

The ninth prince Ning Chen was seen holding a scroll similar to an animal skin scroll in his hand and presenting it to Emperor Ning.

“That is...!” Chen Xian’s eyes flashed slightly.

Because the scroll presented by the Ninth Prince was exactly the same one he had seen before, only in a different size.

"The fragmentary map of the Immortal's Tomb?"

Yu Fengyi of the Yu family was also sitting in the hall. He stared at the scroll in the Ninth Prince's hand with excitement, thinking: The scroll is indeed in the palace, why is it in the hands of that 'useless' Ninth Prince?

"Old Nine, today is Father's 100th birthday. Take a look at what you are preparing." Yan Wang Ning Hong sneered, "What we have prepared are all rare things in the world. You are going to use an animal skin scroll to please Father, right?"

Hearing this, Ning Chen's face turned slightly ugly. The reason why he took this animal skin scroll was because he knew that the gifts from the eldest prince and others were extremely precious and rare in the world. He couldn't get them himself, so he could only prepare alternative gifts.

However, he found this animal skin scroll from his mother's Sumerian relics. Only because it was written "Map of Immortal's Tomb" did he know that it was very precious and that his father would definitely like it when he saw it.

At this time, Wei Cheng had already taken the incomplete map from Ning Chen's hand and presented it to Emperor Ning.

There was originally a hint of disappointment in Emperor Ning's eyes, but when he opened the animal skin scroll and saw the four words on it, his expression couldn't help but become excited.

He suddenly raised his head and looked at Ning Chen, "Old Nine, where did you get this thing?"

Ning Quan, Ning Yang, Ning Hong and others all frowned and stared at Ning Chen.

The same was true for everyone else in the hall.

Ning Chen didn't know whether his father was happy or angry. He lowered his head and said, "This item is a relic of my mother. I found it when I was sorting out my mother's belongings some time ago. Father, if you don't like it, I will take it back and prepare another one for you..."

"No need. I like this thing very much." Having said that, Emperor Ning quickly closed the animal skin scroll and carefully hid it in his sleeve.

He looked up at Ning Chen and said, "Old Nine, you are so thoughtful. Come back to me after your birthday to claim your reward!"

Upon hearing this, Ning Quan and the others were all bewildered. They thought that the gift they presented was a million times better than Ning Chen's, so why did their father care so much about the animal skin scroll?

He even let Laojiu go to collect the reward?
Sima Yi, Yu Wencheng and others were also surprised.

Only Yu Fengyi knew that the incomplete map of the Immortal Tomb in Emperor Ning's hand was the last incomplete map, and the important information of the Immortal Tomb was on that scroll.

If his Yu family can get it, they will definitely be able to find the immortal's tomb.

Chen Xian glanced at Yu Fengyi. He didn't know the latter, but he knew that he was a member of the Yu family.

Then he looked at Ning Chen in surprise. He was a little surprised that Ning Chen's mother, Concubine Su, actually had the fragments of the immortal painting in her hand.

Next.

The left and right prime ministers, civil and military ministers all presented gifts.

Emperor Ning suddenly frowned: "Dare Marquis Chen Xian is not here?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment. Those who had noticed Chen Xian knew where he was sitting and turned to look.

Those who don’t know will look around.

"Your Majesty, I'm here!" Chen Xian slowly stood up.

Those who didn't know Chen Xian turned their heads to look at him, talking among themselves.

"He is the Marquis of Divine Valor. He looks really young."

"I'd rather offend the King of Hell than Chen Xian. Are you talking about him?"

"How did he get there?"

Emperor Ning frowned and asked, "Who arranged you there?"

Chen Xian's eyes flickered, and he looked at Ning Quan, then at Wei Cheng.

Wei Cheng hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, this old servant arranged it!"

Hearing this, Emperor Ning glanced at Wei Cheng and said, "The Marquis of Divine Bravery is sitting in the first row." Wei Cheng looked unhappy. The first rows on both sides were already full of people. How else could he arrange them? No one would be happy if they were asked to move to Chen Xian's position.

"Your Majesty, it's not a big deal. It's great to be able to sit with Marquis Wuyong and learn from the old senior!" He bowed and said calmly.

Zhang Fuyong, who was standing by, felt extremely embarrassed and could only smile helplessly.

Emperor Ning's eyes fell on Zhang Fuyong and he nodded secretly, "Okay."

Chen Xian did not sit down either. He bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I have also prepared a gift. I wish Your Majesty a long life and good fortune."

"Hahaha, good!" Emperor Ning laughed heartily.

Everyone stared at Chen Xian, thinking that he could take out something good, but he actually took out a golden jade tube.

Is that thing used to store files?
Could it be some kind of calligraphy or painting?
Emperor Ning was also very curious. Chen Xian would not just prepare a random birthday gift for him.

Soon, Eunuch Hou came before Emperor Ning with the golden jade tube.

Emperor Ning opened it and his expression didn't change at first. Gradually, he was filled with shock. He stood up suddenly and looked at Chen Xian in disbelief.

Seeing Emperor Ning's reaction, everyone became more curious about the contents of the file, but they couldn't see it, nor did they dare to peek into it with their spiritual eyes.

After all, Emperor Ning is a powerful being in the realm of supernatural powers. Who would dare to spy on him with his spiritual eyes?
"good, very good!"

Emperor Ning looked at Chen Xian excitedly and said, "The birthday party is over, come to me to claim your reward!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly rolled up the file, put it into the golden jade tube and put it away.

Ning Quan and others turned around and stared at Chen Xian, the second person to receive the reward.

It can be seen that Chen Xian's gift made his father very satisfied.

After a commotion in the hall, people continued to present gifts.

Soon, Chen Xian saw Ji Yang, the number one genius of the Tianwu Sect. Ji Yang was wearing a beige suit and had a very ordinary face. He was the kind of person who would be hard to spot in a crowd at first glance.

However, there are such people who have entered Vientiane at a young age.

After Ji Yang, Li Hanyue from the Zhenwu Dao Sect also stood up.

Chen Xian stared at Li Hanyue, who was young, tall, and extremely beautiful, but very cold and aloof. There was no smile on her face even when facing Emperor Ning.

He took a closer look and found that Li Hanyue's aura was similar to Ji Yang's, very hidden, but there was still a trace of Yuan Gang aura leaking out, obviously he was in the Wanxiang realm.

Afterwards, young geniuses from Beixue Sword Sect, Leiwu Sword Sect, and Qingjiang Luomen stood up and presented their congratulations.

The demon clan's special envoy Feng Zhiheng also took out a gift and presented it.

……

Chen Xian and others sat there waiting. They had seen through the birthday gifts in the hall, but it was common for the civil and military officials, families, and sects outside the hall to present gifts.

Even so, the presentation of gifts lasted until the afternoon.

In the end, Emperor Ning did not accept the gifts one by one, but waved his hand and said, "Let's have the banquet!"

Everyone began to raise their glasses to congratulate Emperor Ning on his 100th birthday again.

Afterwards, the drinking and chatting continued until noon.

Emperor Ning used fatigue as an excuse to leave Zhengde Hall first, allowing everyone to continue drinking.

Many people also took this opportunity to interact with everyone in the hall.

After all, among these people, some are from the Eight Prefectures, some are powerful local figures, princes, dukes, and also people from the major sects and families of Daning, all of whom are worth making friends with.

Only Chen Xian sat in his seat and drank with Zhang Fuyong.

Of course, there were also people who wanted to drink with him and make friends, and he would always raise a glass to greet them.

It was not until the evening that people in Zhengde Hall left one after another.
