While everyone was shocked, they were even moreso could not believe their eyes. It was really a regular stone?!

When they heard him say that the stone he was gifting could barely be called a rare item, the crowd through that it was perhaps a uniquely shaped stone that was formed naturally. Although that would still be somewhat cheap, it could still reluctantly be accepted as a gift…

But no one had expected that this kid would really take out such a common stone that nobody would look at even if it were left at the side of the road… Furthermore, it was so small, what could it be used for! Pei, if it were bigger, it would take up even more space, making it even more useless!

This kid wouldn?t be stirring up trouble on purpose, right?!

Some among the crowd thought in a gleeful manner.

?It?s actually… really… a stone… HAHAHAHA…? Qiu Peng was also stunned for a moment, before he suddenly hugged his stomach and roared with laughter until tears flowed down his cheeks. ?Mo Jun Ye… HAHAHA, you bumpkin must have really hurt your brain from being too poor! To actually take out a stone like this on the Manor Lord?s birthday… you actually had the face to do it… I-I… I really have to hand it to you! What kind of present is this? Do you treat all of us as blind people??

?Whether you?re blind or not is something that I can?t determine. However, I like this stone very much! It?s such a beautiful stone!? Miao Xiao Miao walked out and looked unblinkingly at the stone in Jun Mo Xie?s hand as though she were looking at the prettiest thing in the world. ?This is too pretty! Mo Xie, can I touch it??

Miao Xiao Miao had already decided that the moment Mo Jun Ye passed the stone to her, she would instantly bury it in her embrace and declare that this was her favorite present…

In any case, no one could possibly pry the stone away from her grasp. Besides, she was not lying at all. Any present that came from Mo Jun Ye was the best present to her…

?Miss Miao! Little sister Xiao Miao! You… you can twist the facts like that?? Qiu Peng cried out in an anxious manner.

But what they hadn?t noticed was that in the instant that Mo Jun Ye took out the stone, none of the experts at the Saint Emperor level and above had mocked him or questioned him. Instead, all of them stood up together as they stared at the stone with a wolf-like greed in their eyes!

All the peak experts could not help but fix their eyes on this stone in a serious manner!

Their greedy gazes was as if they wanted to directly swallow this stone into their stomachs!

That?s right, all of them had the same thought, which was to swallow this stone with one gulp!

Even Miao Jing Yun forgot to speak for a short time as he opened his mouth slightly and looked unblinkingly at the stone. After a long time, he finally lifted his head slowly and looked at Jun Mo Xie.

?Lord Miao, I wonder if this junior?s stone was a satisfactory present?? Jun Mo Xie said with a faint smile and tossed the stone towards the table filled with gifts…

?Don?t throw it! Be careful, ah!?

?F*ck! Be careful!?

In that moment, over a hundred old voices screamed in unison. All the experts including the Saint Venerables panicked, as their faces turned pale in an instant!

Countless afterimages and shadows flashed through the hall, as the winds howled within the great hall. White shadows flew across the ground, among which was an eye-catching red shadow. This was clearly the main character of today?s birthday celebration, Miao Jing Yun!

All the peak experts had not hesitated to use their fastest movement techniques as they dashed towards the falling stone. Qiu Peng who was standing near the table and blocking the way was directly kicked away like a ball by a Saint Venerable…

Another Saint Venerable who was positioned behind the table stretched out his hand and with a swift sweep, all the presents were smacked onto the ground, many of them breaking into pieces. Even that ?Thousand Year Longevity Pine? was broken and destroyed, and its neat pine needles were sent flying everywhere!

That Saint Venerable completely did not have the slightest intention to stop as he shot forward, stretching his hand out wide towards the small stone.

In that instant, there was only that small stone in all those peak experts? eyes!

Nothing else mattered!

Afterimages filled the hall, and after some time, it finally stopped!

A Fourth level Saint Venerable was cradling the small stone in his hands as he stood at the center.

Numerous Saint Venerables and Saint Emperors surrounded him, staring voraciously at the little stone in his hand. From the looks of it, they were slightly wary of the old man?s strength, and also afraid that the stone would accidentally be harmed. Otherwise, they would have charged up to snatch it from him long ago!

As for the Fourth level Saint Venerable in the middle, he stared at the stone in his palm and swallowed visibly. As the mouthful of saliva travelled down his throat, the sounds of swallowing appeared everywhere as well. From the looks of it, all the peak experts had swallowed together…

After a long time, the Fourth level Saint Venerable forced his head up with great effort, then lowered his eyes to look at the stone in his hand again, before tearing his eyes away and saying in a greatly parched voice. ?This… it?s actually… that… that… the gift… may Manor Lord… please accept it…?

As he said that, his lips trembled, as if he were exceptionally unwilling to let go. He seemed as if he were already on the verge of tears…

Such a rare treasure… No! This was a godly treasure that was difficult to find even once in millions and millions of years! To have to give it away like this with his own hands… the pain in this Saint Venerable?s heart was simply too overwhelming…

Miao Jing Yun let loose a sigh of relief and laughed happily, quickly grabbing the precious stone. ?Hur hur… this present that the young rascal Mo had given to this old man… hehehe, this old man… shall shamelessly accept it… hur hur…? Even as he spoke, his hands moved with the speed of lightning as he stowed the stone deeply into the inner pocket of his robe, as if he were afraid of it getting snatched away…

At the same time, his old face became flushed with an irritated redness…

?Esteemed Manor Lord… this… that…? The Fourth level Saint Venerable that?d just handed over the stone suddenly said in a fawning manner that even other youngsters would disdain to do.

?… Esteemed Manor Lord… cough cough… this old man had been stuck at this bottleneck for 400 years already… I wonder… I wonder… cough cough cough… if it?s possible… to just ask for a bit of powder… cough cough…?

The instant he said those words, all the Saint Venerable experts stared at him with rage!

Shameless! You?d only been stuck at the bottleneck for 400 years! Which of the experts here hadn?t been stuck at their bottleneck for several hundred years? There are some that are even stuck for a thousand years! What is a mere 400 years counted as? A bit of powder… you?re making it sound so simple! That stone is only so large, how much powder is there available even if it was all scraped out? Why don?t you go and rob?!

?En… although this was a present that the little brat had given to this old man, but since it?d appeared in our Misty Illusory Manor, it should naturally be shared… cough cough, after today, this old man will organize another gathering, and everyone can discuss how we should deal with it…? Miao Jing Yun?s old face twitched as he said with some heartache.

Seeing all the expectant gazes around him, Miao Jing Yun felt exceedingly bitter in his heart. F*ck! This is clearly a present that others had given to me for my birthday ah… it?s something that belongs to me by right… How did it become a public property all of a sudden? This little brat is also too inconsiderate. How could he take something so good out in view in public eye? If he?d passed it to this old man in private, how much trouble would have been avoided!

This scene had caused the rest of the crowd who hadn?t reached a high enough cultivation realm to all look at each other in a dumbfounded manner.

What was this situation? Had the entire Misty Illusory Manor?s high echelon members all gone crazy?

Especially the Young Master Qiu Peng that was hobbling back into the great hall with difficulty after being kicked out, his face was filled with even greater disbelief! This… what was going on?

Li Xing Yue and the others also had looks of confusion on their faces…

This was a little too ridiculous wasn?t it? Was there a need to go that far? Wasn?t it just a marriage between Little sister Xiao Miao and Mo Jun Ye? To think that so many old fellows had come together to put on such a jaw dropping show! Going to such great efforts to fight over that inconspicuous stone? This… wasn?t this too much?

?Manor Lord… that… that stone… is obviously just a very ordinary stone! It?s one thing for Little sister Xiao Miao to want to distort the facts since she was clearly deceived by an evil person. But you Seniors are all peak experts of this world! How can you invert right and wrong like this? This junior is not convinced!?

Qiu Peng cried out in a wronged manner. He thought that he had just been one move away from being able to hug the beauty home. But for such a ridiculous scene to appear all of a sudden, Qiu Peng?s mind was completely filled with disbelief and a great unwillingness.

?Shut up!? Over a hundred voices roared together with rage. In an instant, a powerful gush of Qi surged up like an angry river, blasting towards this Young Master Qiu Peng!

The rage of over a hundred Saint Emperors and Saint Venerables could not be underestimated. With a loud bang, Qiu Peng was blasted out as though he was treading on clouds… after a long time, a soft bang could be heard far in the distance…

Not only had the Qiu Family?s Qiu Cheng Yun not tried to stand up for his grandson, his face was instead wreathed with anger as well. The loudest ?Shut up? just now had even come from this Qiu Family Patriarch!

At the same time, countless disdainful and mocking gazes landed on Qiu Cheng Yun?s body, causing the latter to lower his head with embarrassment… this was truly too shameful…

Even if one was ignorant, they should at least have some common sense…

Even if you don?t have any common sense, is it so hard to keep your mouth shut like everyone else? Did you have to shout so loudly to show off your stupidity? This is great now… our Qiu Family?s face had all been destroyed by that one shout…

Miao Xiao Miao?s little mouth was also opened wide with shock, unable to say a single word. After a long time, she finally turned her head and looked at Jun Mo Xie?s face in a questioning manner.
