The eyes and attention of everyone at the Palace Banquet were drawn to Lei Fan's words and they all turned to look at Jun Xie. Although Lei Chen's face was smiling, but the smile did not reach her eyes.
Jun Xie did not reply immediately but just stared at Lei Fan's smiling face. After a moment of silence, she slowly raised her cup and drank it in a perfunctory manner.
The Emperor then said with a smile: "And this must be the youngest contestant from the Zephyr Academy? Your name is Jun Xie right? "
Jun Xie stood up and replied: "That's right."
"Good, good, good! Heroes really do come from the youths. I had not expected you to achieve so much at such a young age. Your future is truly limitless! You are of a similar age to the Fourth Prince and you should get to know him more often in the future. " The Emperor said with a smile, his smiling gaze sizing up Jun Xie from head to toe. But when his gaze swept over the ring on Jun Xie's finger, the smile at the corners of his mouth suddenly froze up!
"Jun Xie, you are the youngest contestant in the history of the Spirit Battle Tournament. Come forward a step and let me have a good look at the little prodigy you are." The Emperor said without batting an eyelid.
Jun Xie did not want to embarrass the Emperor in front of everyone and she stepped out from her seat to come before the Emperor.
The smile on the Emperor's face was still the same, but his eyes were flashing with shock.
The ring on Jun Xie's finger, how could he ever forget it!
"Jun Xie, is that ring on your finger your ring spirit? This is the first time I have seen someone wearing their spirit ring on that finger. " Most people wore their spirit rings on the middle finger of their right hand. It was not intentional, but it was because the moment the ring spirit was awakened, the ring would appear on the middle finger and most people would not bother to change the position of the ring spirit.
But the silver ring on Jun Xie's finger was worn on the ring finger.
Jun Xie lowered her head to look at the ring on her right hand's ring finger. That was the ring she had picked up from the stone hut at the Heaven's End Cliff. After leaving the Heaven's End Cliff, she had worn it on her finger and had not taken it off.
Firstly, it was the only relic left behind by her "Master", and secondly, her spirit ring was not visible to others. Wearing the ring on her finger, it could also confuse her opponents.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Although the Emperor was trying his best to hide it, but she could still detect from the minute changes in him that the Emperor seemed to care a lot about this ring of hers.
"So that's how it is." The Emperor breathed a sigh of relief, but the worry in his eyes did not fade.
"Heh, I was just curious that's all. Jun Xie, please take a seat. Today is a celebration for the ten winners of the Spirit Battle Tournament, do not stand on ceremony."
Jun Wu Xie retreated back to her seat, but in her heart, she was still scrutinizing the Emperor's strange actions.
The banquet officially began, and the dancers danced gracefully. The music of the zither was melodious, and their skirts fluttered in the wind. The smell of wine permeated the air, bringing with it an intoxicating smell.
After three rounds of wine, the banquet grew a little more lively. The four princes would occasionally engage in small talk and several youths from the War Banner Academy and the Dragon Slayers Academy would offer toasts to the Emperor one after another. The Emperor's face was filled with a smile, but his eyes were a little distracted and he only said a few perfunctory words to them.
Lei Fan took advantage of the moment when everyone was talking to each other to stand up and walk straight towards Jun Xie.
