As the voice fell, an indifferent aura enveloped Mo Hanshan, making his expression change slightly. Xiao Yuanshan was a Celestial Realm expert, and Mo Hanshan did not consider himself a match for Xiao Yuanshan.

However, Mo Hanshan naturally wouldn't fear Xiao Yuanshan. He said, "Today's matter, I fear you can't control it. I still say the same thing; as long as the young lady doesn't want to do something, no one here has the right to force her!"

"Are the people from Celestial Universe International all fools?" Many people in the crowd looked at Mo Hanshan with a hint of amusement.

Someone said, "A mere Earth Level Realm person, where does he get the courage to speak to Xiao Yuanshan like that? He's pretty much seeking death!"

"It's not just seeking death; it's utterly clueless!"

"Does he think that by giving a gift to Xiao Ziyan, the Xiao Family would give face to Celestial Universe International?"

"..."

One sarcastic remark after another echoed, but Mo Hanshan's expression remained unmoved, as if he hadn't heard them at all. His gaze still fixed on Xiao Yuanshan.

"Huh?" Xiao Yuanshan frowned slightly and was about to say something when a voice came from outside: "A worker from Celestial Universe International, by order of the president, here to present the second birthday gift to the young lady!"

"The second birthday gift has arrived? What could it be?"

"Who knows? But since the first one was so precious, the second one must be quite valuable as well!"

"..."

Swish, swish, swish~

At this moment, many eyes turned to the entrance of the main hall, where a middle-aged man walked in, causing the expressions of various family's experts to subtly change.

Someone exclaimed in fear, "It's him?"

"Who?"

"A worker at Celestial Universe International!"

"Tch, does a mere worker make you turn pale?"

"But this worker has killed several Earth Level Realm experts from the Tuoba Family!"

At these words, others were momentarily stunned. A worker killing several Earth Level Realm experts from the Tuoba Family? Since when did workers become this formidable?

Also, are you sure you're not exaggerating?

Soon, under everyone's gaze, Elder Liu, holding a tray covered with a red cloth, entered the main hall. He exuded no aura, appearing as ordinary as anyone else, as he walked directly toward Xiao Ziyan.

"Is this the second birthday gift big brother prepared for me? What could it be?" Xiao Ziyan's beautiful eyes flickered. No matter what it was, she was happy as long as it was a gift from Xiao Tianyu.

"Miss, your birthday gift has arrived. Please accept it!" Elder Liu said to Xiao Ziyan with a smile.

"What is it?" Xiao Ziyan's beautiful eyes flickered.

"The young lady will know once she opens it!" Elder Liu smiled gently. His words were respectful, which made Xiao Yuanshan on the side show a hint of displeasure. Wasn't he the host here, and yet Elder Liu was treating him as if he were invisible?

Xiao Yuanshan then said, "Since Celestial Universe International is so courteous, Xiao Ye, you can accept this gift on Ziyan's behalf!"

"Yes, clan leader!" Xiao Ye nodded.

"What?" Elder Liu frowned slightly. Let Xiao Ye accept it? Who does Xiao Ye think he is?

Then Xiao Ye stepped forward and addressed Elder Liu, "Since it's a gift for the young lady, then..."

"Scram!" Elder Liu snorted coldly.

"What do you mean by this?" Xiao Yuanshan said coldly.

"I'm afraid this gift is something you, Xiao Yuanshan, cannot handle!" Elder Liu's voice was domineering, causing those around to pause slightly, thinking, are the people from Celestial Universe International always this arrogant?

"A gift that even the clan leader of the Xiao Family can't handle? Is this a joke?"

"For God's sake, I see it from all angles and that box weighs no more than two pounds, are you sure Xiao Yuanshan can't handle it?"

"Also, it's the daughter's birthday, and having the gift accepted on her behalf makes sense, doesn't it?"

"..."

Everyone around displayed a bewildered expression. No way the clan leader of the Xiao Family, a Celestial Realm early-stage expert, couldn't handle a gift from Celestial Universe International. How ridiculous!

"Huh?"

Xiao Yuanshan was also momentarily stunned. Can't handle it? I want to see what's in the tray. Are the people from Celestial Universe International truly this arrogant?

Whirr~

Suddenly, an aura of Celestial Realm spread from Xiao Yuanshan, and he said coldly, "I want to see what's in this tray!"

With that, he reached out a large hand to grab the tray that Elder Liu was holding. Elder Liu stood there without moving, his gaze calm, without a ripple.

However, Xiao Ziyan was flustered, stepping forward immediately to stand in front of Elder Liu, and said to Xiao Yuanshan, "They sent this gift to me, why would you receive it on my behalf?"

Seeing Xiao Ziyan block him in front of Elder Liu, Xiao Yuanshan immediately withdrew his hand, his gaze fixed on Xiao Ziyan: "Are you a member of the Xiao Family or someone from Celestial Universe International?"

This little girl, how could she side with outsiders?

"None of your business!" Xiao Ziyan shouted coquettishly and casually lifted the red cloth covering the tray. Instantly, the tray was filled with a dazzling golden light, causing everyone present to be bewildered.

"What is that?"

"It seems to be a token made of pure gold?"

"A token?"

"What use can this token have?"

"Who knows?"

"..."

Many displayed a puzzled expression. This second gift turned out to be a token. Even if it was made of pure gold, it didn't seem valuable. Could Celestial Universe International present such a thing?

At this moment, even Xiao Ziyan was taken aback. She only saw the word "Emperor Star" engraved on the token, thick and powerful, but she had never seen such a token before.

She blinked her beautiful eyes and curiously asked, "What is this?"

"Emperor Star Order!" Elder Liu said casually, his voice undisguised, causing everyone around to freeze. After a long moment, someone said, "What did he just say? Emperor Star Order? Did I... Did I hear wrong?"

"Are you sure that's the Emperor Star Order? Could you not joke around, I have a heart condition!"

"Damn, Celestial Universe International is really bluffing, an Emperor Star Order? Is it that easily obtained?"

"This looks too fake!"

"..."

Everyone around showed a look of disdain. An Emperor Star Order, honestly to be able to say it out loud, if an Emperor Star Order was that easily obtained, wouldn't everyone under the heavens be core disciples of the Emperor Star Academy?

Indeed, the Emperor Star Order is the most noble emblem of the Emperor Star Academy. The holder is at least a core disciple of the Emperor Star Academy, holding a noble status.

It's known that core disciples have a higher status than inner sect disciples, so the value of this token is apparent, hence it's reasonable that people don't believe it.

Moreover, seven days ago, the events that happened at Celestial Universe International Hotel are still vivid. An inner sect disciple of the Emperor Star Academy, Tuoba Lei, was killed, along with two Emperor Star Academy guards.

The event of that day even alarmed the Emperor Star Academy, which sent an elder, demanding the mysterious president of Celestial Universe International go to the academy to admit guilt. Thus, naturally, there was a grudge between Emperor Star Academy and Celestial Universe International.

With such a grudge, would Emperor Star Academy hand over an Emperor Star Order to Celestial Universe International? And then Celestial Universe International would give it to Xiao Ziyan?

Stop kidding.
