"Rebel? Xiao Ziyan's eyes glared at Xiao Yuanshan, mocking, "Now, I am also the Xiao Family's rebel!"

"Insolence!" Xiao Yuanshan shouted angrily, raising his hand to slap Xiao Ziyan's face. However, as the slap was about to fall, an invisible pressure descended upon Xiao Yuanshan, rendering him immobile.

Facing a Saint Heaven Realm expert, Xiao Yuanshan was utterly powerless.

"Dare to touch the core disciple of Emperor Star Academy? Do you wish for death?" A mysterious and domineering voice echoed from the void, followed by a boom, sweeping Xiao Yuanshan away with a blast wave.

Phew~

As Xiao Yuanshan's body slammed onto the ground, he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and looked with apprehension at the elder who attacked him.

Could he, Xiao Yuanshan, dare to reprimand the core disciples of Emperor Star Academy? Was he even worthy?

The other members of the Xiao Family stood there, not daring to move. It was a joke to even consider it, the opponent being a Saint Heaven Realm expert; moving would be akin to courting death.

Saint Heaven Realm experts are just that domineering.

Subsequently, the leading elder spoke to Xiao Ziyan, "If you have no objections, please come with us!"

"I have a question!" Xiao Ziyan's beautiful eyes flickered.

"What question?"

"Why do you know me and want to recruit me as an academy disciple? I can't fathom it!" Xiao Ziyan spoke; she didn't believe they would come for her without reason.

"What is the second birthday gift?" the elder asked Xiao Ziyan with a smile.

"Birthday gift, the second one?" Hearing this, Xiao Ziyan was stunned. Wasn't the second birthday gift the Emperor Star Order given by my big brother? Could it be...this..."

At this moment, the others present were also shocked. Xiao Ziyan's second birthday gift, they all knew, was a token made of pure gold. But wasn't that token fake?

Confused.

Now, the members of the Xiao Family also expressed confusion, especially Xiao Yuanshan, who was utterly bewildered, unable to believe everything before him.

The Emperor Star Order is fake?

If it's fake, how could people from the central academy have come to greet Xiao Ziyan now?

Thinking about it, it's laughable.

Xiao Yuanshan, with short-sightedness and limited vision, hadn't seen the Emperor Star Order, so he declared the Emperor Star Order given to Xiao Ziyan by Celestial Travel International was fake. Yet now? Is that Emperor Star Order still fake?

That's not the most important thing. The crucial thing is the relationship between Celestial Travel International and Emperor Star Academy. From this Emperor Star Order, it's evident that the relationship between Celestial Travel International and Emperor Star Academy is not shallow; otherwise, how could Celestial Travel International possess an Emperor Star Order and give it to Xiao Ziyan as a birthday gift?

Regretful?

Very regretful, one might say, Xiao Yuanshan's intestines are turning green with regret. Originally, he could have leveraged Xiao Ziyan's connections to climb onto the big tree of Celestial Travel International, but now he himself has personally squandered that opportunity.

What's even more laughable is that he claimed the Emperor Star Order given by Celestial Travel International was fake.

"This gift, you, Xiao Yuanshan, can't handle!" At this moment, the words previously spoken by Elder Liu echoed in Xiao Yuanshan's mind. Thinking back now, he indeed couldn't handle it.

"Is there anything else you want to ask?" the leading elder in the sky asked Xiao Ziyan with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ziyan shook her head, murmuring, "No...there's nothing else. But I have one more request. Can you take him with you?"

Finished speaking, Xiao Ziyan's delicate jade finger pointed at Xiao Tianyu. She was leaving but couldn't be at ease leaving Xiao Tianyu alone here. Regardless of whether Xiao Tianyu was her big brother or not, he had just killed for her sake; the major families would definitely not let it go.

Upon hearing this, the elder followed Xiao Ziyan's gaze. At this look, the elder was shocked; wasn't this the Executive Chairman? Am I seeing it wrong?

No, isn't his portrait hanging in the main hall of Emperor Star Academy?

At this thought, the lead elder's knees almost buckled in the void; he wanted to exclaim, "Mother~ what kind of earth-shattering situation is this? Why is the Emperor Star Academy's leader also here?"

"Salutations~"

"What salutations?" Elder Liu stepped forward, addressing the elder, "Since you've taken Xiao Ziyan, hurry up and return!"

The Executive Chairman surveys the world; how could he reveal his identity? How could these people be worthy of knowing the Executive Chairman's identity? Is it possible?

"This..." The lead elder deeply glanced at Xiao Tianyu. Seeing Xiao Tianyu indifferent, he understood Xiao Tianyu's intention, and thus waved his hand. Instantly, Xiao Ziyan's figure soared into the air.

The lead elder spoke, "Let's go!"

"Can't you take him?" Xiao Ziyan's beautiful eyes flickered.

Take, take my butt; does he need me to take him? Miss, please stop teasing me; my heart really can't handle it.

Thinking this, the elder took Xiao Ziyan into the air and left, Xiao Ziyan seemingly unwilling but powerless.

Before leaving, her beautiful eyes deeply gazed at Xiao Tianyu, feeling reluctance, yet beyond her control.

But Xiao Tianyu gave her a gentle smile, reassuring her that he, Xiao Tianyu, wouldn't encounter any mishaps.

"Are they leaving just like this?" The people watched the Emperor Star Academy's experts soaring away, their hearts unable to be calm. A birthday banquet brought them shocking revelations, too immense.

They never imagined Xiao Ziyan would transform suddenly, becoming the illustrious core disciple of Emperor Star Academy?

Originally, Xiao Family, under Xiao Ziyan's brilliance, would thrive; however, this opportunity was personally squandered by Xiao Yuanshan, and Xiao Ziyan declared that henceforth she had no ties with the Xiao Family.

Even so, other families dared not provoke the Xiao Family, for despite Xiao Ziyan severing ties, she was still a member of Xiao Family. Should the various families blame Xiao Family, and if Xiao Ziyan got angry and led Emperor Star experts to exact blame, their families would be doomed.

Of course, someone still had to be accountable for the death of their Young Clan Leader.

Swish, swish, swish~

Quickly, all eyes from various families fell upon Xiao Tianyu. They dared not provoke the Xiao Family, but Xiao Tianyu – did they still dare not to? Their Young Clan Leader wouldn't die in vain.

This person attempted to covet Xiao Ziyan's beauty, slaughtered their Young Clan Leader from various families. Now with Xiao Ziyan forsaking him, would they let Xiao Tianyu live?

"Clan Leader Xiao, I believe you won't intervene in this matter!" A strong voice from the Ouyang Family directed at Xiao Yuanshan.

Upon hearing, Xiao Yuanshan's glance swept over Xiao Tianyu, with Xiao Ziyan's divorce from the family indirectly caused by him.

Thus, Xiao Yuanshan coldly remarked, "The Xiao Family naturally won't intervene!"

"That's good!" The Ouyang Family expert nodded satisfyingly, then looked at the various family members and continued, "This person is a maniacal murderer; we should follow Celestial Travel's path and execute him for righteousness!"

"Indeed!" A Long Family expert nodded; others followed suit, "Originally, the martial gathering was meant to end in peace, yet this person went on a killing spree, slaughtering several; by law, he must be executed!"
