Morning Star

Mo Xinglan was looking at her, but he only glanced at her and then glanced at Chu Congnan who was sitting in the main seat, suggesting that she look over there.

She looked over and saw Chu Congnan glaring at her. She recalled the eye contact she had just had with Mo Mingjie and Mo Xinglan for only a few seconds.

She felt a little frightened by his staring at her, so she simply looked up at the ceiling.

At this time, Chu Congnan snorted coldly and said, "You said you didn't do anything wrong?"

As he said this, he looked at Gao Qin, who was standing beside Xiang Tingqin with her head down: "Xiao Qin, tell me, what happened just now?"

Gao Qin then raised her eyes timidly and looked at Chujiu, only to see that Chujiu was also looking at her. She trembled and whispered, "Just now, I accidentally bumped into the Third Miss on the road, and the jade bracelet that my grandfather gave me was broken, and the Third Miss scolded me."

Although what she said was true, it was easy to be misunderstood. Especially when the other party was Chujiu, who was known for bullying and being willful.

Chu Congnan glared at Chujiu: "You still say you are not wrong? You broke Xiaoqin's jade bracelet, not only did you not apologize, you also cursed. Is this what I taught you?"

Chujiu expected him to say that and immediately found it funny. He chuckled but was not in a hurry to mention the matter between him and Gao Qin. Instead, he said, "I know that Daddy values ​​the upbringing of us young people the most. Since I said I wanted to reform myself, Daddy has been even stricter with me."

"I'm glad you know." Chu Congnan's expression finally eased a little.

Chujiu immediately felt wronged: "But you can't wrongly accuse me."

"When did I wrong you?" Chu Congnan was puzzled and looked serious.

Chujiu looked at Gao Qin and chuckled: "Have you wronged me? You let..."

At this point, she drew out her voice and smiled at Gao Qin: "Xiao Qinqin, tell me the whole process in detail."

Gao Qin heard her address and trembled all over. She looked up at her and saw that she was smiling at her. She seriously suspected that Chujiu was up to something bad again.

Chu Congnan didn't think too much about it and looked at Gao Qin: "Xiaoqin, tell me the whole process in detail."

Gao Qin looked at him and then at Chujiu, pursed her lips, lowered her head, and stammered as she told the whole story.

After saying this, he pursed his lips and his eyes were red.

Chu Congnan was stunned for a while after hearing her words, took a deep breath and felt embarrassed. He looked at Chujiu and met her innocent eyes.

He sighed: "Dad spoke too loudly just now and misunderstood you. It's Dad's fault."

Chujiu raised the corners of her lips and snorted, "It's okay. Daddy, you are so generous, and I, as your daughter, can't be stingy. It's okay as long as you admit your mistakes and correct them."

"Uh-huh?!"

"Um, no, I mean you admit your mistake... No, you, you... you are really my dad." She gave a thumbs up.

Chu Congnan's expression changed again and again after hearing her unclear words. He lowered his head and tried to hold back his laughter while looking at Tingqin and the others.

Chu Congnan snorted coldly: "That being said, you shouldn't curse at people."

"I..." Chujiu wanted to refute but stopped talking. He took a deep breath and said in silence, "Okay, okay, got it."

She was too lazy to argue with him, otherwise he would say that she was wrong in this or that.

The matter was settled. Xiang Tingqin thought that Gao Qin's bracelet was given to her by her grandfather. The damaged jade could not be repaired, so she comforted her a few words. She also said that if she was willing, she would give her a piece of the same material. She lowered her head and said, "It's broken, it's broken. This is what her grandfather gave her, so she has to keep it even if it's broken." After that, she made an excuse to leave.

Chujiu looked at her leaving back and shouted at her with a smile: "Xiao Qinqin, remember to run slower next time."

"..." Gao Qin almost fell down because of her sudden words. Then he quickly left her sight.

Seeing Gao Qin's reaction, she smiled smugly and turned around, only to meet Chu Congnan's angry eyes.

"..."

Well, she was wrong again.

……

Soon the birthday party began.

There aren't so many red tapes in families of cultivators, and a birthday banquet is just a day for cultivators to get together to play or rest, so there are even fewer requirements for children.

Except for the adults in the two families, the other children can sit wherever they want, as long as they observe some basic etiquette.

The children sat with the children, and the adults sat with the adults.

Chujiu did not choose to sit with Mo Xinglan, but instead sat down at a table with people of the same age.

But sometimes fate comes and nothing can stop it. She assured that it was just a random table, but she didn't expect that the person next to her was Mo Xinglan.

Mo Xinglan's face was so good-looking that he attracted several girls from the Chu family. At this time, more than half of the people at his table were women.

Mo Xinglan always kept a seemingly friendly smile. He answered whatever they said, giving people the feeling that he was approachable, gentle, well-behaved and sensible.

However, only Chujiu knew that these were all fake.

His real character is totally different from what he shows, not even close to what he actually is.

As expected of a black-hearted demon, he was indeed powerful. She, Chujiu, admired him for this.

The birthday banquet was halfway through, and Chujiu was the only one left at the table where she was sitting.

After all, her reputation was well-known, and many people in the entire clan had been bullied by her, so there were only a few people at her table at the beginning.

Seeing her sitting at this table, there were almost no other people there. Halfway through the banquet, everyone found excuses to go to other tables.

She didn't care about it at all. After all, she wouldn't stay in Hualing Continent forever, and there was no need to add interpersonal relationships that were useless to her mission progress. Otherwise, it would only get in the way.

Halfway through the banquet, the noise died down, and the eating and drinking gradually stopped.

The children in the clan all gave Chu Congnan the gifts they had prepared for the head of the Chu family.

The first to present gifts were the children of the elders, followed by Chu Wenxuan and Chu Furong.

After a while, when everyone had finished delivering their food, they began to wait for Chu Congnan to speak as usual: "Everyone continue eating."

Chu Congnan stood up with a smile on his face, "Everyone continues..."

"Daddy..."

The last two words were interrupted by a crisp voice before they were uttered.

There was immediate silence all around, and everyone looked at the originator of the voice.

When Chujiu saw that everyone was looking at him, he paused.

She was sure she didn't do it on purpose. This was the first time she had given a gift to Chu Congnan since the original owner could remember.

In the past, the original owner had never paid attention to how others gave gifts, nor did he know when to start or end gift giving.

Just now she thought there was someone else who was going to send her off, but then she saw Chu Congnan stand up and talk, so she interrupted him.

If you want to blame someone, blame the original owner. Blame her for not knowing anything, which is why she is now the focus of everyone's attention.

She was so embarrassed that she felt like she could dig a villa out of her toes.

But I have no choice but to go ahead with it.

Chu Congnan saw Chujiu standing there stupidly without saying anything after he called out, so he asked, "What's wrong, Xiaojiu?"

She came back to her senses and said, "Daddy, my daughter hasn't been sent off yet."

As soon as he finished speaking, the guests at the banquet began to discuss.

"Miss San is also going to give a gift?"

"Did I hear correctly?"

"I think there's something wrong with my ears, too."

"Hey, what gift do you think the Third Miss will give to the Master?"

"What can she give? I don't think it's a big gift anyway."

"Yeah, I think so too."

……

The ninth day of the lunar month: "..."

After hearing this, Chu Congnan paused and couldn't describe the feeling in his heart.

Anyway, it feels pretty good, but I don’t know what she will give me.

"You want to send it too?"

After he asked, the party fell silent again.

"Ah."

Chujiu nodded, then took out a large sandalwood box, walked in front of Chu Congnan and Xiang Tingqin, and handed the box to Chu Congnan.

Chu took it from Nan but didn't open it. He turned around and wanted to put it among the pile of gifts.

Chujiu felt a little unhappy when he saw it.

He had clearly opened every gift he received, but why didn't he open hers? Wasn't he looking down on her?

"Daddy, won't you open it and take a look?" She showed an innocent expression.

She wanted him to open it and read it today. He refused to read it, but she insisted that he read it.

"Um...Xiaojiu, Daddy will put it aside for later." Chu Congnan said perfunctorily with a smile.

In fact, he didn't have high expectations for the gift she gave him, but he was already very satisfied that she gave him one. At least it showed that she had changed a little.

"Daddy, please open it and take a look. Maybe you will like it at first sight." Chujiu refused to give up.

What? Was the gift she gave poisonous? She just didn't believe it.

Chu Congnan looked at her in a daze for a few seconds.

How come he found Xiaojiu to be particularly persistent today?

What happened to this kid today?

She had to make him open the gift she gave her in front of so many people. Didn't she know that he was actually helping her?

Oh, forget it. Seeing that she is so persistent, he might as well open it and take a look.

At most, he could block it a little to prevent too many people from seeing it. This would prevent her from making a fool of herself, after all, it was the first time this child gave him a gift.

So he slowly opened the sandalwood incense box.

Xiang Tingqin beside him was also looking at him curiously.

As soon as they saw what was inside, they were stunned. Shock appeared on their faces and did not fade away.

Looking at the expressions of the two people, Chujiu blinked his big watery eyes.

The people at the banquet watched with curiosity, and discussed what Chujiu had given that shocked the two big men.

Chu Congnan opened the box completely and displayed it to everyone.

It immediately became silent again, and one could probably hear a pin drop on the ground.

I saw a complete set of tea sets placed in the sandalwood incense box.

Each tea set is white jade in color, with exquisite patterns carved on it, and also has a hint of spiritual energy floating on it.

"Cold white jade!!!" an elder who had reacted shouted loudly.

"A complete set of cold white jade!!!" another elder was also shocked.

Wow! ! !

After the two elders' surprised voices, a heated discussion began at the banquet.

Only Mo Xinglan glanced at Chujiu's back and continued eating.

There are four treasures in Hualing Continent: one is the Xuantian Qin, which is said to be able to play the most beautiful sound in the world. Moreover, this qin has intelligence and recognizes its master, and its sound can be used as a weapon;

The second one is a painting of a beauty. It is said that the owner of this painting was a young lady from the Luoyun Sect, which was a very large cultivation family 20,000 years ago.

It is said that the person in the painting is incredibly beautiful. Later, the painting gained intelligence and the beauty in the painting was able to walk out. Moreover, it is very powerful, and being able to obtain it is like obtaining a talisman.
