Emperor Star Order.

The Emperor Star Order is the symbol of the Emperor Star Academy, there's no doubt about it. Anyone possessing the Emperor Star Order is at least a core disciple of the Emperor Star Academy. What does that imply? It implies that if this Emperor Star Order is genuine, then, given to Xiao Ziyan, wouldn't Xiao Ziyan be a core disciple of the Emperor Star Academy?

A sixteen-year-old core disciple—there's never been one at the Emperor Star Academy.

Moreover, Tianyu International has a grudge against the Emperor Star Academy, this is well-known. Could the token Tianyu International suddenly produced be genuine?

Would the Emperor Star Academy grant an Emperor Star Order to Tianyu International?

Don't be ridiculous.

Many people around gazed at the pure gold Emperor Star Order, showing amused expressions as Tianyu International truly dared to pretend, even daring to forge the Academy's token.

At this moment, even Xiao Ziyan's beautiful eyes flashed, showing a hint of surprise. Is this really the Emperor Star Token?

However, since it's a gift from Tianyu International, regardless of its authenticity, Xiao Ziyan wouldn't refuse. Just as she was about to receive the token, Xiao Yuanshan coldly snorted: "Do not take it!"

This remark made Xiao Ziyan pause.

Xiao Yuanshan turned his gaze and said to Elder Liu: "What do you mean? Do you want to implicate the Xiao Family?"

"Implicate the Xiao Family?" Elder Liu asked.

"Indeed!" Xiao Yuanshan's eyes suddenly sharpened as he continued: "Tianyu International forged an Emperor Star Order, originally having no relation with the Xiao Family, but you are trying to pass this token to my daughter Xiao Ziyan, what is your intention?"

Xiao Yuanshan's voice thundered, causing many to realize suddenly.

Indeed, Xiao Yuanshan's words were absolutely correct. Under heaven, who would dare to forge an Emperor Star Order? There's no doubt it leads to death, yet Tianyu International dares to forge one, and even tries to gift it to Xiao Ziyan. If the Emperor Star Academy were to pursue this, who could bear the consequences? Surely not the Xiao Family.

In this scenario, should the Xiao Family receive this fake token? Only if they wish to disappear from Fengzhou City.

In Fengzhou City, the wrath of the Emperor Star Academy is something no one can bear.

"Forging a token!" Upon hearing these words, Elder Liu laughed. His laughter was immensely sarcastic. Does Tianyu International need to forge a token? It's utterly ridiculous. Elder Liu continued: "You're ignorant enough to claim this token is fake, apparently your insight as the Xiao Family's Clan Leader is quite limited!"

"Insolence!" A cold voice came from behind Xiao Yuanshan as an Elder reprimanded: "How dare you slander the Clan Leader? Today, you fabricated an Emperor Star Order and tried to pin false charges on the Xiao Family during Ziyan's birthday, what is Tianyu International's true intention?"

Having said this, the Elder's aura erupted, covering Elder Liu instantly and showing undisguised ferocity in his gaze.

"Is it your place to speak here?" Elder Liu said coldly.

Yet, before the words settled, Elder Liu suddenly made his move, swift as lightning, aiming a strike at the Xiao Family Elder's neck with overwhelming force, catching the Elder by surprise, who instantly raised a palm to strike.

"Dare to fight back!"

Elder Liu snorted coldly, his five fingers clamping down fiercely, seizing the opponent's wrist. Then, Elder Liu twisted his large hand with a cracking sound, causing the Elder to scream as his right arm was directly snapped.

"Get out!" Elder Liu's voice was icy cold as he swiftly kicked out, sending the Elder flying, crashing through several chairs before landing on the ground.

Elder Liu continued: "Were it not for Miss's birthday, where blood is improper, your life would have ended here today!"

Dominant.

Arrogant.

Elder Liu's actions were extremely domineering, daring to break the arm of a Xiao Family Elder at the Xiao Family's venue, clearly disregarding the entire Xiao Family.

"Insolence!" Xiao Yuanshan shouted, his hand slamming the table as he stood up: "Today is my daughter's birthday, our Xiao Family did not wish to trouble Tianyu International. Yet, you dare to attack my family in broad daylight, do you take the Xiao Family for pushovers?"

With these words, a Celestial Realm pressure filled the hall, causing everyone's hearts to feel oppressed.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~

Soon, countless gazes fell upon Xiao Yuanshan, their hearts turbulent. Was Xiao Yuanshan about to make a move? After all, he was of Celestial Realm; if a fight broke out, could Elder Liu resist?

However, Elder Liu's eyes remained surprisingly calm, portraying a confidence.

"It seems Tianyu International came to stir trouble today. With such animosity, we naturally won't stand by," at this moment, a strong voice from the Tuoba Family said coldly: "Clan Leader Xiao, in my opinion, why not keep the arrogant people from Tianyu International here today?"

The Tuoba Family had long wanted to eliminate Mo Hanshan and Elder Liu from Tianyu International. Yet, because of Xiao Ziyan's birthday, they endured until now. With the Xiao Family taking action, he naturally seized the opportunity to eliminate the two from Tianyu International.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ziyan's heart trembled, and she quickly stepped forward, standing before Xiao Yuanshan: "Stop it, all of you!"

"Still speaking for outsiders?" Xiao Yuanshan asked.

"Tianyu International is not outsiders, they came to celebrate my birthday!"

"He uses a fake Emperor Star Order, attempting to bring ruin upon the Xiao Family!"

"No matter if it's fake or not, I'll bear the consequences alone!" Xiao Ziyan's voice was forceful as she casually received the token, addressing everyone present: "This token is a gift from Tianyu International for my birthday. Even if it's fake, it has nothing to do with the Xiao Family. Should the Emperor Star Academy pursue it, it falls upon me, Xiao Ziyan!"

"Ziyan!" Xiao Yuanshan's expression changed.

"It's my affair!"

"You..." Xiao Yuanshan trembled with anger, should Emperor Star Academy pursue after Xiao Ziyan received the token without permission, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Yet Xiao Ziyan interrupted: "I've said it before, whatever the consequences, I'll bear them!"

Having spoken, Xiao Ziyan's beautiful eyes glanced at Elder Liu, smiling warmly: "Let me thank Big Brother!"

"Alright!" Elder Liu nodded, his aura converged as he continued: "After your birthday, the Imperial Capital Headquarters will send someone to escort you there, this Emperor Star Order will be your identity!"

"...What's going on?"

Upon hearing this, everyone around was puzzled.

"What did he just say? The Imperial Capital Headquarters? Isn't this a joke?"

"Damn, still claiming the Imperial Capital Headquarters will send someone to take Xiao Ziyan away. Is that possible?"

"Idiots exist every year, but this year they're exceptionally many!"

"..."

Everyone's eyes swept over Elder Liu, all showing expressions of disdain. Could Tianyu International possess such influence to have the Imperial Capital Headquarters send someone for Xiao Ziyan? If anyone were to come, it'd probably be to pass judgment.

Surely, it won't be long before someone from the Emperor Star Academy arrives to arrest Elder Liu for judgment.
