In an atmosphere that seemed harmonious on the surface but was actually fraught with hidden annoyances, the Five Emperors begrudgingly offered their gifts in succession.
It felt like having a piece of flesh forcibly cut away, the pain making their gluteal muscles tense.
After presenting the gifts, the Five Emperors expressed their desire to leave, but An Ran proposed they stay to witness the celebration.
The Five Emperors felt that An Ran's words were deeply offensive, yet dared not show any sign of it, and reluctantly agreed to remain as spectators.
An Ran, being adept at handling situations, waved her delicate hand, materializing five luxurious seats and invited the Five Emperors to sit, then looked up to the sky, smiling as she said, "On behalf of the Immortal Sect, I thank all fellow cultivators for taking time out of their busy schedules to come and celebrate."
Her words caused an uproar in the crowd.
