The people gathered around the center of the hall, and a couple of servants pushed the cake trolley closer. Han Lingshi walked over to the cake, with Hao Ren. Han Ming stood next to Bai Yulong who was watching the entire thing with a cold gaze. Hao Ren did not care about him. Experience tales at empire
The Han Family all greeted Hao Ren with smiles on their faces, because they also got to know what this young man had done a few days ago by breaking into Han Ming's office.
Han Lingshi picked up the knife, and blew the candles as the people began to cheer and applause, and she cut the cake with a smile on her face. She picked up the first piece of cake, and was instinctively about to feed Hao Ren when the young man smiled and said, "Elders first."
The girl realized the aning of her actions and a faint blush appeared on her face before she turned to feed her mother, and grandparents. She fed the cake to Han Ming as well, but it was evident from her gaze that she was not happy about it. Finally, she fed Hao Ren and said to the staff to take the cake away and serve the guests.
Suddenly, one of the people said, "Young Miss Han, please accept this gift."
He walked up and gave her a small box. The man said, "This is a small product that we have designed to launch next week, and the first finished product is our gift to you."
Han Lingshi opened the box and found a pair of beautiful earrings, and she thanked the man with a polite smile. Many people ca forward with a variety of gifts, from jewelry to premium cards of various hotels and places. However, this was because Han Lingshi was a child and they did not know what was appropriate at this age.
Finally, Bai Yulong took out a box, and said, "This is a jade dagger that belonged to an empress seven hundred years ago. It is a symbol of strength, I hope up like it."
He confidently opened the box and showed it to Han Lingshi, who saw the exquisite red jade dagger with a stale expression and Hao Ren asked, "Master Bai, is this dagger from the Cui Dynasty? The seventh Empress, Cui Houling?"
Bai Yulong raised his brow, he knew that this youngman was after sothing, but he still nodded, and jabbed, "I didn't expect you to have such a wide knowledge even though you co from humble beginnings."
Hao Ren smiled and replied calmly, "Actually, I am surprised that you do not have the knowledge that I do. It seems that a strong background does not an you are wise too."
Bai Yulong clenched his other fist and said, "Can you tell what do you an by this?"
Hao Ren replied, "I am a humble guy who reads in class, my history book has a ntion that Empress Cui Houling was forced to take the throne when her seventeen years old husband, Emperor Cui Jiao Long, was murdered, and she also was conspired against by the courtiers. When she was attacked, she killed the assassin with her dying breath and cursed everyone who tried to follow the throne.
The resentful energy was said to be so strong that it destroyed the entire political structure of the dynasty. All and any kings or queens who tried to rule the Cui Dynasty further died under the age of twenty. That is why the last ruler of the Cui Dynasty was never coronated and stayed a Prince his entire life.
So, what I am trying to say is, are you trying to stain Lingshi with bad energy, or curse her to have a small life?"
The people were shocked, and they looked at the situation and distanced themselves from Bai Yulong. Han Lingshi took the chance and said, "Young Master Bai, I am thankful for your gift, but I am satisfied with the painting you got earlier. You do not need to bring such a treasure. I cannot hold on to it."
Bai Yulong knew that the faint smile was actually a sneer, and the words were just a jab on him in secret, telling him to fuck off with his gift. He closed the box and coldly asked, "I wonder what this Brother is giving."
Hao Ren replied, "I am not your brother, so please just stay formal, you can call Young Master Hao. Also what I am giving is nothing to do with you, right Master Bai?"
His words were blunt, and he did not mind sounding rude either. Then without waiting for a retort, he turned around to look at Han Lingshi and raised the wooden box. He said, "It is sothing I made with my own two hands."
Han Lingshi smiled and said, "Now, I am curious what you made."
She reached out to feel the lines on the box before opening it, and she was shocked. She took a big gulp and asked, "Did you really make this?"
Hao Ren nodded and said, "I have recorded the entire video of carving, after you put it on, I will post the video online for the people to watch it."
Han Lingshi asked her mother to help her, and even Yue Shi was shocked to see the necklace inside the box. She took it out of the box, and the crowd gasped in shock. Bai Yulong snorted and did not say anything else, he knew that Hao Ren was a cultivator like him, and this bit of skill did not seem to be surprising. He turned to Han Ming and said, "I will take your leave."
That said, he left with his servant but Hao Ren frowned. He looked at Han Lingshi and said, "I will go and talk to Master Bai, I have sothing to ask him."
Han Lingshi was surprised but before she could say anything, Hao Ren left the place and the forr was surrounded by the ladies who wanted to admire the necklace.
...
Hao Ren caught up with Bai Yulong who was outside the mansion, and said, "Young Master Bai, wait."
Bai Yulong stopped and the next mont, Hao Ren appeared behind him with a quick step. Hao Ren asked, "Did you like the gift?"
Bai Yulong clenched his fist and moved forward when a strong pressure forced him back, and Hao Ren asked in a calm and soft voice, "Why can't you enjoy your life for a little longer?"
