Chapter 280 She needs to speed things up and stir things up! Stir things up!
When Young Master Lan saw that the ink was about to spill onto the rare book, his breathing became heavier, but his eyes regained their brilliance and light, and he seemed to have returned to his spirited state.
Strange things then began to happen.
The ink stopped abruptly when it was only a millimeter away from the painting, as if blocked by an invisible barrier. The ink slid down at the angle and didn't touch the painting at all!
"His-"
Many people present closed their eyes, heartbroken that the rare book had been destroyed. But others stared wide-eyed at the bizarre scene and gasped in shock.
The person with their eyes closed was startled awake by the person drawing air from them, and was prepared to see the destroyed rare book when they opened their eyes. But the moment they opened their eyes, they saw the intact rare book.
"This...it wasn't destroyed..."
Incredulous voices rose and fell from the crowd.
Young Master Lan hurriedly looked at the rare book, his eyes widening. His heart soared to heaven in an instant, only to plummet to hell in the next. This dramatic rise and fall left Young Master Lan powerless, slumping to the ground. His strength seemed to have been drained in an instant, and he couldn't even stand up. But just then, his live-streaming system came to kick him while he was down.
The electric shock punishment came without warning, and Young Master Lan fell to the ground, letting out a painful roar.
What image... what composure... does he still have any dignity left? He's completely lost face!
The live stream screen in front of Young Master Lan switched from the live stream page to the task page, and the progress of the main task dropped from 96% to 46%!
Suddenly, I lost fifty points of my mission progress.
The live-streaming system residing in Young Master Lan's mind immediately began its frantic beating program, relentlessly subjecting Young Master Lan to a two-quarter-hour electric shock punishment, the longest it had ever endured.
Young Master Lan lay on the ground, groaning. His convulsive movements gave the other five people, who also had live streaming systems, a sense of familiarity.
Although everyone present was worried about Young Master Lan's identity, their eyes still held contempt and disdain when they looked at him. It turned out that the reputation of the young master of a noble family was fabricated using other people's poems. Fake, so fake!
"Quickly, Young Master Fulan, go to your guest room to rest!"
The Prince of Yan immediately issued the order, his brow furrowed in disbelief. What was going on?! Why were problems arising so frequently during his banquet?!
Young Master Lan was helped away, and the Prince of Yan helped summon the imperial physician. For a moment, they were torn between continuing the banquet or ending it.
"Besides this rare book, I have something else to give to Prince Jiang and Prince Yan. Since you are both here, I will give it to you both at the same time," Xia Mo said with a smile.
Her voice wasn't loud, but everyone present could hear it clearly.
She's planning to cause trouble at the banquet, how can she let it end like this?!
King Yan thought that what Xia Mo had shown was a rare sight, and that if he missed it, he might never have the chance to see it again. So he decided to let the banquet continue.
To show his respect, the King of Yan sent his trusted confidants to guard Prince Lan.
With a flick of her wrist at the end of summer, two exquisite boxes appeared in her seemingly empty hand.
When the Prince of Yan saw Xia Mo's performance, he was surprised and thought of the acrobatics he had seen in his early years. He suspected that Xia Mo's performance was a similar technique.
Xia Mo handed the top box to Huangfu Qian, and then threw the last box at the Prince of Yan in a parabolic motion.
The exquisite box spun rapidly through the air, leaving afterimages, making its speed completely invisible.
The Prince of Yan was shocked and instinctively reached out to block it, but the box seemed to have its own consciousness. It landed on the table in front of the Prince of Yan and remained still.
When the King of Yan thought he was about to be hit by the wooden box and was angry, he did not feel any pain. When he let go, he was surprised to find that the box had landed safely on the table in front of him.
King of Yan: "..."
He seemed to be making a big fuss just now. Did someone make a fool of him?
The Prince of Yan quickly glanced at the crowd at the banquet and, seeing that everyone looked frightened and terrified, felt that his behavior just now was not so shameful.
"What's in this box?" the Prince of Yan asked, adjusting his breathing.
"Should we open it and take a look?" Xia Mo reminded him.
The Prince of Yan opened it and found an exquisite tea set, all made of glass. He widened his eyes in surprise.
"Seventh Brother, quickly open it and see what's in your box," the Prince of Yan said, playing with the glass tea set in his hand, reluctant to put it down, while also keeping an eye on the one in Huangfu Qian's hand.
Huangfu Qian glanced at Xia Mo, opened the exquisite wooden box in his hand, and what he saw was not an exquisite tea set or anything like that, but a contract.
Huangfu Qian immediately understood what the contract was.
When the two of them were working together to build Liulichang, Xia Mo said that she would not give him the shares of Liulichang for the time being, and that she would choose a suitable time.
Right now, late summer feels like the perfect time.
"Seventh Brother, what is that contract in your hand?" The Prince of Yan played with the glass tea set in his hand, feeling that Xia Mo's gift had touched his heart. He felt that his own gift was even more thoughtful than the contract Huangfu Qian had received.
However, when the Prince of Yan saw the contract in Huangfu Qian's hand, the glass tea set in his hand suddenly lost its aroma.
In Huangfu Qian's hand was the dividend from Liulichang, and it was 60% of the dividend!
Liulichang?
When the Prince of Yan realized that this exquisite tea set might have been made in Liulichang, and that Huangfu Qian was directly holding the hen that laid golden eggs, his heart felt even more complicated, as if something was blocking his chest, making him extremely uncomfortable.
Huangfu Qian's lips curled up almost imperceptibly, clearly pleased by Xia Mo's actions.
There are deeds from Liulichang, plus already-made Liuli tea sets as proof...
"boom--"
The sound of a heavy object crashing to the ground rang out.
Those present noticed that Young Master Chen, who had been sitting perfectly still, suddenly convulsed and collapsed to the ground, convulsing.
Apart from Xia Mo and Huangfu Qian, no one present noticed why Young Master Chen suddenly collapsed and convulsed.
The screen in front of Young Master Chen switched from the live stream to the main quest, and the main quest progress dropped from 96% to 80%.
The Prince of Yan was already feeling frustrated, and when Young Master Chen collapsed, his frustration intensified. Should this banquet not have continued at all?
"General, I have another set of blueprints to present, which I discovered by chance," Xia Mo said, becoming a little anxious as she realized the banquet was about to end. Her grand scheme wasn't over yet! She couldn't let the banquet end like this!
She needs to speed things up and stir things up! Stir things up!
