Chapter 1911: Didn’t Hear Miss Fu San’s Name
Besides introducing Gu Zhiqi to everyone, Old Master Fu didn’t have much else to say, so he didn’t speak for long. After finishing speaking, he was assisted down by Gu Zhiqi and Fu Mengchuan.
The host announced the start of the banquet.
Old Master first took Gu Zhiqi to his own table, where his elder brother, younger brother, and a few close friends were seated.
Old Master introduced Gu Zhiqi to them one by one.
After meeting the people at Old Master’s table, Gu Zhiqi was led by Fu Mengchuan to meet some of Fu Family’s closer relatives.
Despite this, there were already many people, and Gu Zhiqi couldn’t remember all, she just remembered broadly.
Fu Mengchuan knew she couldn’t remember so many people at once, so he only introduced her to the closer relations before letting her take her seat.
Gu Zhiqi went to the table with Jin Huazhu, besides Jin Huazhu, Fu Xiyan, Fu Wangchan, and four members of the Jin Family were seated around the table.
The Jin Family members had arrived in the Ancient Martial Arts World today, Gu Zhiqi greeted them one by one before sitting down.
After taking her seat, two uncles chatted with Gu Zhiqi for a while, then went off to discuss other matters with Jin Huazhu and Fu Xiyan.
Gu Zhiqi saw that no one was talking to her anymore, so she focused on eating. Joining her in earnest eating were Jin Cenglv and Fu Wangchan.

After three rounds of wine, they began reading the gift list.
Because so many people attended the birthday banquet, the gift list was very long, and simply reading it took a long time.
Although the gift list was long, it eventually came to an end.
When the list finished being read, suddenly a voice came from the crowd, "It seems Miss Fu San’s gift wasn’t mentioned."
The voice was quite loud.
Thus, many people heard it as soon as it sounded.
As this voice intruded quite abruptly, the surroundings quieted for a moment, then people turned their heads to see who had spoken.
The speaker was seated at the Shen Family’s table, a stout woman dressed in a dark purple gown.
Seeing everyone looking her way, the woman showed no embarrassment, covered her mouth slightly, and said, "Sorry, I might have said something wrong. I... didn’t hear Miss Fu San’s name, so I was a bit curious."
The woman who spoke was surnamed Lin, the wife of Patriarch Shen, Madam Shen.
Though Madam Shen acted as though she had mistakenly spoken, but wasn’t intentional, people suspected it was deliberate.
After all, most people just focused on the gifts they sent.
Though occasionally paying attention to others’ gifts, someone who could remember the names like her was unusual.
Nonetheless, since Madam Shen brought it up, curiosity unavoidable arose among the crowd.
Why didn’t Miss Fu San give a gift?
Could it be that the young girl from the Secular World didn’t understand the custom of gifting, or was the gift too paltry that the Fu Family found it embarrassing and thus left it off the register?
Thinking this way, people’s eyes inevitably fell upon Gu Zhiqi.
However, the person in question didn’t seem to be affected by their scrutiny, quietly conversing with the girl seated beside her.
As to what they were discussing, only the tables nearby could faintly hear.
Vaguely, words like Yuan Force and Talisman Paper were overheard, apart from the Meng Family members who had long since been stretching their ears to eavesdrop on the two’s conversation, others couldn’t understand.
Because their discussion concerned mysticism topics.
Jin Cenglv and Gu Zhiqi earnestly discussed, Meng Yunhe and the Meng Family attentively eavesdropped, wholly ignoring the banquet’s commotion.
However, Jin Huazhu and others noticed, including Old Master.
