Upon hearing this, Ziyan's beautiful eyes slowly lifted. When he saw the unabashed greed in their eyes, he felt a sliver of disgust in his heart.

"I'm not feeling well, excuse me!" Ziyan said coldly.

"..." Upon hearing this, many people were speechless.

What is going on? Not feeling well?

This... is she really not feeling well? Why does it seem to me like she's refusing us?

Ah, the goddess's temperament must be like this, I guess.

"Ziyan!"

Xiao Yuanshan's voice revealed anger, yet Ziyan paid him no attention. She turned to leave, causing Xiao Yuanshan to feel utterly humiliated.

"I don't feel well..." However, before Ziyan could finish speaking, a voice came from outside the great hall: "Mo Hanshan, General Manager of Celestial Universe International Hotel, is here under the president's orders to present the first birthday gift to the young lady!"

The voice reverberated throughout the great hall, leaving everyone stunned. People from Celestial Universe International Hotel dare to come here? Don't they know that everyone here are enemies of the hotel? Do they really fear death?

Indeed, after the voice fell, one could see a trace of coldness flicker in the eyes of the people from various families. Especially those from the Tuoba Family, who showed an intent to kill; Tuoba Lei had died in the Celestial Universe International Hotel.

Tuoba Lei was the pride and first genius of the Tuoba Family. Would the Tuoba Family forget this feud?

Tonight, the Tuoba Family has come with strong figures. Their real purpose is, without a doubt, aimed at that mysterious youth of Celestial Universe International.

"Has big brother come?" Ziyan's beautiful eyes flickered with a trace of excitement.

Soon, a man ambled in from outside the hall, holding an elaborate headdress and robe. The robe was dazzling, the embroidered phoenixes seemed lifelike as if they were real.

"Stop!" At that moment, a guard from the Xiao Family shouted, blocking Mo Hanshan outside.

"Guests are welcome, let him in!" Xiao Yuanshan said to the guard, who then stepped aside.

Mo Hanshan swept his gaze over the crowd in the great hall, finally landing on Ziyan, and repeated his earlier words: "Mo Hanshan, General Manager of Celestial Universe International Hotel, is here under the president's orders to present the first birthday gift to the young lady!"

Is this just the first birthday gift?

Does this imply there are more gifts to come?

Upon hearing this, many directed unusual glances at Mo Hanshan, puzzled by the meaning behind his words. However, when they saw the headdress and robe in Mo Hanshan's hands, they revealed a look of surprise; Celestial Universe International is indeed well-off.

Soon, under the gaze of the crowd, Mo Hanshan arrived before Ziyan. Ziyan's beautiful eyes flickered and she spoke: "Uncle Mo, where is big brother?"

"That, I'm not entirely sure!" Mo Hanshan replied respectfully to Ziyan: "Young lady, why not first try on this headdress and robe to see if it fits!"

"Presumptuous!" Xiao Ye, standing behind Xiao Yuanshan, snorted coldly: "The robe the young lady is wearing now is made by her mother herself, why would she switch to yours? Unless your robe is some kind of treasure!"

"It's not exactly a treasure!" Mo Hanshan replied indifferently: "However, with this robe, even the strongest attack from a Saint Heaven Realm expert cannot harm the young lady in the slightest!"

"What, even a Saint Heaven Realm expert cannot harm the young lady in the slightest?"

"Are you kidding us?"

"..."

In an instant, everyone's gaze in the hall fell upon Mo Hanshan; this old man boasts without any drafts, claiming even Saint Heaven Realm experts cannot harm a bit. Who is he trying to fool? Ghosts wouldn't even believe such a lie.

Celestial Universe International is merely a commercial entity, can they really produce such a treasure? How is that possible?

But Mo Hanshan ignored the disdainful gazes, only spoke to Ziyan: "Young lady, you will know once you try it!"

"Wait..." At that moment, Xiao Yuanshan spoke to Mo Hanshan: "May I ask, what does Celestial Universe mean by calling Ziyan the young lady? It would be better for Mr. Mo to explain clearly; my Xiao Family does not wish to be unknowingly dragged into this confrontation!"

Xiao Yuanshan's words were clear; he wanted to sever ties with Celestial Universe, not wanting others to misunderstand, as Celestial Universe International is currently in the crosshairs.

"That, you'd have to ask our president!" Mo Hanshan loudly replied.

"Truly arrogant!" At that moment, a strong figure from the Duanmu Family stepped forward, a terrifying aura fell directly upon Mo Hanshan: "The death of Tuoba Lei was indeed done by your Celestial Universe; since you, Mo Hanshan, come to die, we may as well resolve it all!"

"With you?" Mo Hanshan's eyes glimmered with a chilling light, he spoke: "I advise you, it's best not to cause trouble, or else the consequences will be beyond what your Tuoba Family can bear. Don't doubt my words!"

Forceful?

Domineering?

Mo Hanshan's words were undeniably forceful and domineering, saying that the consequences would be unbearable for the Tuoba Family, where does Mo Hanshan's confidence come from?

Thud~

Upon hearing this, the Tuoba Family's strong figure took a step, the peak Earth Level Realm aura swept across: "I want to see how the Tuoba Family cannot bear such consequences!"

"Stop!" Xiao Yuanshan coldly snorted: "Today is my daughter's birthday banquet; please afford Mr. Xiao some face and settle your accounts after the birthday, shall we?"

"Tuoba Qingyun, here it's not only the Tuoba Family who has a vendetta against Celestial Universe!" At this moment, a strong figure from the Ouyang Family spoke: "Seated here are also those of us who hold an irreconcilable grudge against Celestial Universe, but today is Ziyan's birthday, so it is best you do not act recklessly!"

They are here for Ziyan, naturally, they would not allow anyone to ruin Ziyan's birthday, in their eyes, Ziyan's birthday is more important than anything else.

"If that is so, my Tuoba Family shall endure for now!" The strong figure from the Tuoba Family coldly snorted.

Currently, all families have come for Ziyan's matter, he also knows that acting now is not a wise choice, it may even anger all the families.

As for Xiao Yuanshan, his gaze again fell upon Mo Hanshan, asking: "Ask your president? Has my Xiao Family's Ziyan suddenly become the young lady of Celestial Universe, while I, her father, cannot inquire? Or do you have ulterior motives, attempting to drag my Xiao Family into the water?"

"Aside from the young lady, the Xiao Family is not qualified enough to be dragged into the waters by Celestial Universe!" Mo Hanshan's voice remained domineering as ever, causing many to frown; aren't his words too bold? Saying the Xiao Family isn't qualified enough for Celestial Universe to involve them?

But Xiao Yuanshan instead turned to the people in the hall and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, I believe you have heard that the Xiao Family and Celestial Universe have no connection whatsoever. You may have grievances with Celestial Universe, but it has nothing to do with the Xiao Family!"

"Clan Leader Xiao, we understand this point!" someone chimed in.

Ziyan's beautiful eyes flickered but paid no attention to the people; her innocent gaze fell on the headdress and robe in Mo Hanshan's hand, she smiled slightly: "Is this gift really sent by big brother for me?"

"Yes!" Mo Hanshan nodded: "Young lady can try it now!"

As the voice fell, the headdress and robe in Mo Hanshan's hand suddenly rose into the air, emitting a glow, and directly landed on Ziyan, even those in the hall could faintly hear the sound of phoenix cries from the robe.

"This..."

The crowd gazed at the headdress and robe, their expressions all revealed a trace of shock, could it really be a treasure?
