1030 Birthday Banquet 5 (1/2)
There wasn't a single sign of anyone behind those open doors, and there wasn't a single sound that came back.
After Qu Ling Yue finished her greetings, she knelt there a moment longer before she got up and said to her father: ”Father, I'll head on home first.”
Qu Wen Hao nodded.
Qu Ling Yue then secretly stole a glance at Jun Xie before she departed from the place.
Jun Wu Xie's brow lifted slightly and Qing Yu beside her said softly: ”The Heavenly Cloud Chambers does not allow any females to come near as Qu Xin Rui detests girls. So, not even the Young Miss is allowed to enter. On her birthday every year, the Young Miss is made to kneel before the Heavenly Cloud Chambers and convey her well wishes like this.”
Having a junior pay respects and send their well wishes to a senior was nothing strange.
But when it was done like how Qu Ling Yue did it, when there was no sign of anyone before her and she was made to kneel at the doors, that was something completely unheard of.
Jun Wu Xie sneered in her heart, but did not let it show on her face.
”Gentlemen, please.” Qu Wen Hao turned around and said to everyone, as they all made their way into the Heavenly Cloud Chambers.
Inside the Heavenly Cloud Chambers, lavish extravagance exuded from every single corner. After Qu Xin Rui revealed her true nature, she went completely unrestrained. She asked Qu Wen Hao to move all the treasures in the Thousand Beast City into the Heavenly Cloud Chambers and even the account books of the Thousand Beast City were to be scrutinised by her every month. Every single precious item the people of the city received need to be declared and checked by her, and if it suited her, it would be confiscated and the people would not be compensated with a single copper.
Such extortion and unreasonable seizure, blatantly disregarded the feeling of the people. The citizens of the Thousand Beast City moaned and complained, but before Qu Xin Rui's tyrannical powers, the people had no choice but to swallow back their grouses.
