When the people inside the Magnificent Hall heard the commotion, they all looked outside and saw Alexander, who was wearing black clothes made from pure silk with gold trimmings. He looked stately and full of authority. Tate was also there, in a blue and white robe, which made him look extraordinarily handsome. The father and son duo were walking side by side, as their momentum surged around them. Behind them were several spirit manipulators of the Heavenly Stage, and three of them were holding a box in their hands.
Lucilla was surprised to see the father and the son from the Qi Clan. Although she had sent an invitation card to the Qi Clan, she only did so as part of good etiquette and conduct, as she did not believe that the Qi Clan would come to the banquet. After all, their loss from the Cao Clan was very fresh, so their pride must still be sore and aching. If they showed up, they would, undoubtedly, be the topic of most discussions, even within their hearing. With Alexander's personality, he could not tolerate being around for that.
But unexpectedly, both the father and the son of the Qi Clan came.
As soon as the crowd saw the two, there was an uproar in the hall, as a flurry of whispers and exclamations floated from the other guests. They were surprised to see the two members of the Qi Clan appear in the Cao Mansion, so they speculated that the purpose of the two's arrival would be something complicated but interesting.
"They don't come with good intentions." Lucas walked to Lucilla and whispered discreetly in her ear.
Of course, she knew what he meant, but she still walked up to them gracefully and said to the two politely, "Thanks for coming, Chief Alexander and Tate. This is an honor for the Cao Clan!"
"You're welcome, Chief Lucilla. You are celebrating your birthday today, and your father and I have been friends for decades. Besides, I've always thought of you as my niece, so how can we not come?" Alexander immediately replied as an elder.
When Tate saw Lucilla, he looked at her expectantly, as if he was waiting for her to meet his gaze, but she completely ignored him. She did not even glance in his direction.
"I'm only afraid that your blessing is too much for me to handle." Lucilla looked at Alexander with caution, as her face darkened with her thoughts.
When he heard Lucilla's remark that was bordering on insolence, Alexander coughed awkwardly, but the cunning smile on his face never wavered. He looked at Tate and said, "Tate, didn't you prepare gifts for her? Take them out, or the people will think we are here to freeload." With that, he glanced around the people in the hall, looking self-satisfied, as he strutted about the room like a peacock.
To be fair, he was entitled to his vanity around these people, as he was the only one among them, besides Lucas, who had reached the Divine Stage. With this alone, Alexander had reason to be proud.
Tate stood silently beside Alexander, as he glanced at Lucilla with intense longing in his eyes. He waved his hand, and instantly, the servants with three boxes in their hands stepped forward, bowed their heads, and respectfully raised the boxes in their hands.
All the people present immediately looked at the three boxes and wondered what kind of gifts he had given Lucilla.
Tate walked closer to the servants and opened the first box with a flourish. As soon as it was opened, light and rich spiritual energy flooded out. As the vivid light faded, it became apparent that it was a pearl-shaped treasure.
