As time went on, guests flowed into the square like water, finding their seats, including some princes, princesses, and the Crown Prince, with the Second Prince greeting and chatting with them.

"Brother Cheng." Hua Zheng looked at Cheng Yang and cupped his hands.

Cheng Yang nodded as well, accompanied by a man and a woman, none other than Lin Mo's acquaintances, Wu Peng and Feng Yuchun, both elite disciples of Heavenly Beak Martial Arts Hall, with strength at the Star Sea Level.

"Brother Hua Zheng, Junior Sister Yun." Cheng Yang also politely cupped his hands, but his gaze fell on Hua Yun, despite trying to restrain himself, a hint of passion still flickered in his eyes.

Hua Yun glanced at the latter, nodded, and then turned her gaze away, seemingly unwilling to speak with Cheng Yang, causing him a bit of embarrassment.

"Elder Hua, it's been a long time since we met, and you remain as spirited as ever." At this moment, Cheng Hai and Elder Hua sat together, exchanging pleasantries.

"Master Cheng, you're joking, this old man has aged, yet your presence is vigorous, you seem to be nearing the Star System Level!" Elder Hua replied with a faint smile.

Upon hearing this, a hint of helplessness appeared in Cheng Hai's eyes, and he shook his head, saying, "The distance between Star Sea Level Peak and Star System Level is only a step, but many are trapped here all their lives, never able to advance, entering the Star System Level is as difficult as ascending to heaven."

Then, Cheng Hai smiled, "Elder Hua, I actually have another matter I wish to discuss with you today."

"Oh, what does Master Cheng wish to discuss?" Elder Hua frowned, looking puzzled.

"Cheng Yang is also getting older, and your granddaughter Hua Yun is naturally beautiful and of age… So, I have an impertinent request, hoping Elder Hua would marry your granddaughter Hua Yun to my son." Cheng Hai cupped his hands, speaking earnestly.

Upon hearing this, Elder Hua was momentarily stunned, and Hua Yun beside him suddenly widened her eyes, her pretty face showing an incredible expression. She hadn't expected Cheng Hai to propose to her grandfather.

Elder Hua frowned, showing hesitation on his face. He knew Cheng Yang liked Hua Yun, and although Cheng Yang was a talented young man, his personality was too frivolous and arrogant, not a good match for Hua Yun in his heart. However, with Cheng Hai personally proposing, given Cheng Hai's status and strength, refusing was not easy.

"I don't like Cheng Yang, I won't marry him." Hua Yun clenched her pink fists and suddenly spoke.

"Yun'er." Upon hearing this, Elder Hua's expression slightly changed, rejecting Cheng Hai in front of so many people would make Cheng Hai lose face.

Elder Hua's gaze landed on Cheng Hai's face, and he cupped his hands apologetically, saying, "Master Cheng, this girl has been spoiled by me, speaking and acting without decorum, I hope you won't mind her."

"How could I mind a young girl, but please consider what I said earlier." Although Cheng Hai spoke like this, his expression had grown darker.

Elder Hua's face showed a troubled expression; Cheng Hai was arrogant and sharp-edged, likely to cause trouble in the future; what's most important is Hua Yun never liked Cheng Yang.

"When it comes to marriage, it's crucial that Miss Yun has feelings, emotions can't be forced." Suddenly, a mild voice entered Cheng Hai's ears.

Upon hearing this voice, Cheng Hai and Cheng Yang's gaze simultaneously fell on the owner of the voice, a young man with black hair and black eyes, sitting steadily in a chair.

"Who is this?" Cheng Hai frowned, a faint sharp aura emanating from him, speaking with Elder Hua, when does someone else get to interrupt, especially an unknown young man, he knew all the big shots in Snow Country except for this young man.

Elder Hua knitted his brows; Cheng Hai was domineering, offending him wouldn't end well.

"This is the fellow who showcased the Qiankun Array at the Second Prince's night banquet, relying on some alchemy technique he knows and being arrogant, humph." Hua Zheng coldly snorted, already displeased with Lin Mo, how could he miss a chance to ridicule Lin Mo.

Simultaneously, Chen Yang's gaze fell sharply on Lin Mo, long displeased with this guy, and didn't expect him to oppose at the Emperor's birthday celebration.

"Relying on helping the Second Prince to lose sight of one's place?"

"Do you know the status of our 'Heavenly Beak' Martial Arts Hall? Is it your place to speak?"

At this moment, Wu Peng and Feng Yuchun, behind Cheng Yang, also mocked.

"I had heard of the person helping the Second Prince refine medicine... but young people must learn humility, don't think having some skills means disregarding others, success must be achieved step by step." Cheng Hai squinted, speaking with a faint chill.

Clearly, these people regarded Lin Mo as someone with a bit of skill trying to use the Second Prince's prominence to rise, getting carried away momentarily.

Hua Yun pressed her thin lips, her intelligent eyes filled with anxiety; Heavenly Beak Martial Arts Hall had significant influence in Snow Country, Cheng Hai was at Star Sea Level Peak in cultivation realm; offending them wouldn't result in good outcomes for Lin Mo.

"No one teaches me what I should do!" Lin Mo said indifferently.

"You…" At this moment, Cheng Yang stood up, his powerful True Yuan bursting forth, an imposing aura directed at Lin Mo, coldly saying, "Since you're so arrogant, you must be capable, why not fight me, if you win, I'll pretend I didn't hear you speak earlier, otherwise, you'll kneel today and apologize to my father."

"If it's a fight you want, I'll accompany you." At this point, Zhou Xinyue suddenly stood up, emanating a wave of Primordial Power, her cold, clear eyes staring icily at Cheng Yang.

Cheng Yang sneered, "Hiding behind a woman is not manly, if you have the ability, stand out and fight me honorably."

"You are not qualified." Lin Mo looked at him indifferently, speaking slowly.

With one sentence, Cheng Yang clenched his fists tightly, producing cracking sounds, his True Yuan surging like a flood; even Cheng Hai's gaze showed traces of coldness, Snow Country had never seen someone so contemptuous of Heavenly Beak Martial Arts Hall.

No one had ever shown such contempt for Cheng Yang, causing the muscles in Cheng Yang's face to twitch slightly, revealing his anger.

"Tsk, tsk, anyone can brag… if you have the skill, fight Brother Cheng." Hua Zheng tried to add fuel to the fire, a hint of resentment in his eyes.

"Hua Zheng!" Elder Hua's brow furrowed, coldly reprimanding, causing Hua Zheng to shut his mouth sheepishly.

Just as Cheng Yang was about to make a move to teach Lin Mo a lesson, a commotion suddenly erupted at the entrance of the square, drawing everyone's attention.
