Adorned with the Fenguan Xiapei, Xiao Ziyan was dazzling and unparalleled. Her peerless beauty only accentuated her nobility and her aura of remaining untouched by the mortal world.

At this moment, Xiao Ziyan was truly beautiful.

Moreover, everyone saw the Fenguan Xiapei adjust its size on its own as if it was tailor-made for Xiao Ziyan. This scene was nothing short of miraculous.

"So beautiful, so noble!" The young prodigies were all stunned by the sight before them. They even felt a sense of self-doubt standing in front of this woman, as if such a woman was beyond their reach.

The more it was like this, the more the young prodigies coveted Xiao Ziyan's beauty.

"This Xiapei?" Xiao Yuanshan was equally shocked by the scene.

Tianyu International is merely an ordinary business organization; how could they produce such a treasure? But now? Under the complement of the Fenguan Xiapei, Xiao Ziyan was incomparably noble, like a goddess descending to the world. Could this Xiapei still be a mundane artifact?

Of course, even if it's a treasure, everyone still wouldn't believe it could withstand the full force of a Saint Heaven Realm expert's strike. After all, there was no Saint Heaven Realm expert in Fengzhou City, so how could there be such a peerless treasure?

"The President indeed has good taste!" Mo Hanshan smiled faintly at Xiao Ziyan, "This Xiapei seems tailored for the young lady!"

"Thank my big brother for me!" Xiao Ziyan smiled lightly.

"If you want to thank him, it would be better for the young lady to thank the President in person when you see him!" Mo Hanshan waved his hand.

"Will big brother really come?" Xiao Ziyan's beautiful eyes shimmered, revealing a trace of expectation.

Mo Hanshan nodded, "It's the young lady's birthday; the President will surely come. The reason he's not here now might be due to other arrangements. By the way, young lady, the President asked me to relay to you that if there's something you don't want to do, you don't have to do it. No one has the right to make things difficult for you!"

"Alright!" Hearing this, Xiao Ziyan nodded, feeling a great sense of happiness at this moment.

Mo Hanshan continued, "There will be more gifts to be delivered later!"

Indeed, there were more gifts to come.

Everyone's eyes shone. Now that the first gift was already priceless, what would the second and third be? What were the treasures? And what was the relationship between the Xiao family Ziyan and the President of Tianyu International?

Could they really be lovers?

Thinking of this, the eyes of the youths from each family turned sharp. Everyone knew why they were here today. If this mysterious President of Tianyu International was Xiao Ziyan's boyfriend, wouldn't their presence here today be a joke?

"Such arrogance!" Finally, from the direction of the Ouyang family, Ouyang Jing snorted coldly, "You say that no one has the right to trouble Ziyan if she doesn't want to do something. Since when did Tianyu International become so arrogant and domineering?"

After saying this, Ouyang Jing continued, "As far as I know, it seems that Ziyan's birthday banquet did not invite anyone from Tianyu International. Coming here shamelessly is quite laughable. Dare Tianyu International to intervene in the martial arts contest for marriage today?"

"Please call me Xiao Ziyan!" A hint of coldness flashed in Xiao Ziyan's beautiful eyes. This Ouyang Jing seemed addicted to calling her Ziyan.

Hearing this, Ouyang Jing's brows furrowed with a trace of displeasure.

Xiao Ziyan continued, "Today is just my birthday, and the martial arts contest for marriage has nothing to do with me. Whoever arranged it, go find them!"

"..."

With these words, everyone in the hall was stunned. Seven days ago, the Xiao family Clan Leader announced that today was Xiao Ziyan's birthday as well as the day of choosing a husband. Now Xiao Ziyan was refusing. What did this mean? Was the Xiao family just playing with them?

"Ziyan, don't be rude!" Xiao Yuanshan snorted coldly at Xiao Ziyan, "Today is your sixteenth birthday. You should behave and not be willful!"

"Willful?" Hearing this, Xiao Ziyan's beautiful eyes turned, "Am I willful? My dear father, tell me, what am I to you? A tool for family interests or your daughter?"

"Martial arts contest for marriage? Haha~ Please remember, I'm only sixteen. Children of ordinary families at my age are still held close by their parents, and yet you are using my birthday to curry favor for the Xiao family!"

"Now I finally understand why my second brother was so disillusioned with the Xiao family fifteen years ago..."

"Shut up!" Xiao Yuanshan shouted explosively, "Dare you mention that traitor again? Don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Xiao Yuanshan's voice carried a hint of dominance. If it weren't for Xiao Yun's intervention that night, would the Xiao family ancestor have died? Would the Xiao family's status have fallen? Even to the point of using Xiao Ziyan as a tool for climbing the social ladder? In Xiao Yuanshan's view, all of this was owed to Xiao Tianyu.

As he finished speaking, Xiao Yuanshan's gaze swept over the various family members in the hall with a smile, "My daughter is young and naive, please be forgiving!"

"It's fine, she's only sixteen. Clan Leader Xiao, rest assured, as long as Ziyan marries into my Zhuge family, we guarantee she will not be neglected!" Zhuge Lantian smiled modestly and courteously while glancing at Xiao Ziyan, secretly thinking that only such a woman could match him.

"Lantian brother, speaking now seems a bit premature!" From the direction of the Nangong family, a young man smiled slightly, "The martial arts contest for marriage hasn't even started yet, and you're sure you can win?"

"Of course!" Zhuge Lantian nodded.

"Ridiculous!" Ouyang Jing sneered, "Saying this so early, if you can't win, won't the Zhuge family become a joke?"

With these words, many young people focused their attention on the prodigious disciples of the three major families. Everyone was clear about the true purpose of this birthday banquet.

"Everyone, please remain calm!" Seeing the situation turning, Xiao Yuanshan immediately spoke, "Please give me some face and discuss the martial arts contest after the luncheon?"

"Naturally!" The strong figures of the various families nodded.

Two hours later, an array of dishes was set on the tables in the main hall, and the people who came to offer congratulations took their seats. The places for the three major families were the most prestigious, clearly indicating they were the true honored guests.

After glancing at the crowd in the hall, Xiao Ziyan turned to leave, but Xiao Yuanshan spoke, "Ziyan, you are the main character today, where do you think you're going?"

"I don't want to stay here!" Xiao Ziyan's voice was cold as she spoke to Mo Hanshan, "Uncle Mo, let's go!"

"Alright!"

"Stop!" Xiao Yuanshan snorted coldly and warned Mo Hanshan, "People from Tianyu International are welcome to congratulate my daughter's birthday, but if you do anything inappropriate, don't blame me, Xiao Yuanshan, for turning hostile!"
