The Luo clan Sacred Empress was peerless in her beauty.
Empress Luo wore a Nine Phoenix hairpin on her head. Her long hair was coiled up like the angry clouds in the sky. She wore a jade robe embroidered with ancient Fey beasts. The elegance and nobility she exuded truly came from her bones.
Empress Xuan, on the other hand, had a voluptuous and graceful figure. Her skin was no different from that of a sixteen year old girl. The passage of time had long forgotten about the passage of time on her face, causing the youthfulness of a young girl and the charm of a mature woman to merge perfectly on her body.
"Greetings, Empress Luo! Greetings, Your Highness Xuan Hou! "
The maids and young elites present all bowed.
The two Sacred Empresses walked to the seats of honor and sat down. Empress Luo was on the right, while Empress Xuan was on the left. In the Luo clan, the right was honored, so from this point, Empress Luo's status was slightly higher than Empress Xuan's.
"Xue 'er is here too."
Empress Luo looked at Princess White Fox with a benevolent and loving smile. Clearly, she was very pleased with Princess White Fox in the Lightning Domain. At the beginning of the banquet, she had nodded and smiled at Princess White Fox. This was probably the treatment only a daughter-in-law would receive.
"From the looks of it, Her Majesty Empress Luo wishes to see Prince Crimson Firmament marry Princess White Fox. If that happens, Prince Crimson Firmament's position will be unshakable."
People discussed in private, envious of Prince Crimson Firmament's luck with women.
Empress Luo and Empress Xuan sat at the seats of honor, while Prince Crimson Firmament and Luo Huo 'er sat to their left and right respectively. Sitting beside Prince Crimson Firmament was naturally Princess White Fox. However, Princess White Fox did not sit at the same table as Prince Crimson Firmament. Instead, she sat at a table right beside him, so the distance was naturally quite far. From the looks of it, Princess White Fox had yet to fully accept Prince Crimson Firmament. In such an occasion, she did not wish to be overly intimate with him.
This was nothing, but on the other side …
Be it Empress Luo, Empress Xuan, or Prince Crimson Firmament, they were somewhat taken aback when they saw the person sitting opposite Princess White Fox.
The person sitting beside Luo Huo 'er was an ordinary youth. He looked very young, but his cultivation level had just broken through to the early stages of the Heaven Ascension realm. Such a person would not have cultivated for a long time, at most thirty to forty years.
And the strangest thing was that he was a human.
Yi Yun?
Empress Xuan immediately thought of Yi Yun. Only this person matched the characteristics.
But why was Yi Yun sitting beside his daughter?
It was impossible that he did not know the rules and simply sat there. Otherwise, the palace attendants in charge of the banquet would not turn a blind eye to it. Could it be that his daughter allowed him to sit here?
Although Empress Xuan was surprised, she still knew Yi Yun's identity. As for Empress Luo, she did not even know Yi Yun's identity.
For a trivial figure like Yi Yun, although he had obtained first place in a collective training, he was nothing in Empress Luo's eyes. To Empress Luo, Yi Yun was nothing, but now that he was sitting beside Luo Huo 'er, she paid him some attention.
Empress Luo looked at Yi Yun's clothes. They were not worth much and he did not look like he had any background. Why would Luo Huo 'er allow such a person to sit beside her? Furthermore, this was no ordinary occasion. Luo Huo 'er and Crimson Firmament's every word and action would be recorded by the palace attendants and reported to Emperor Luo.
"Xiao 'er, who is this young man?"
Empress Luo transmitted her voice to Prince Crimson Firmament.
"Mother, if I did not guess wrongly, this person should be Yi Yun. He performed outstandingly at the Mt. Azure Billow collective training. He obtained the recognition of three ancient Fey columns and two Hibernation Awakening ratings. At the same time, he went down to Black Wind Valley and captured the Intermediary Spirit Blood Snake. He is considered a talent of the Human race. He is Sister Purple Spirit's man and was recommended by the prince."
In a few words, Prince Crimson Firmament explained Yi Yun's origins and achievements. This made Empress Luo rather pleased. Her son was extremely meticulous. This was what it should be like to do great things. Even if it was a trivial figure, he still knew all the information about him.
"Very good. Xiao 'er, you did well. However, according to what you said, this Yi Yun is not considered a proud son of heaven. He's just a young elite. Ignoring sitting beside Purple Spirit, he doesn't even have the qualifications to sit below the Ran and Donglin family's kids. This Purple Spirit is too reckless."
Empress Luo secretly shook her head and glanced at Ran Xueyi and Donglin Yu. The two of them were sitting obediently below Yi Yun. When they saw Empress Luo glance at them, they immediately revealed an embarrassed look. They probably knew what Empress Luo was looking at. They found it embarrassing to sit below Yi Yun, but since it was arranged by Princess Purple Spirit, what else could they say?
Empress Luo frowned slightly. For a princess of the Luo clan to show such favor to a human youth of low standing, to the point of letting him sit beside her, was something that did not conform to the rules. It would be a laughing stock, especially with Princess White Fox around. What would Princess White Fox think of Yi Yun sitting in a seat equal to Princess White Fox?
"Mother, Little Sister Violet Spirit has always had a lawless temperament. Just let her be. Imperial Father also indulges her. Even if news of such a small matter were to reach Imperial Father, he wouldn't care."
Prince Crimson Firmament said. His tone was filled with displeasure towards Emperor Luo. It was no secret that Emperor Luo was biased. If not for Emperor Luo favoring Princess Purple Spirit, wouldn't the throne be firmly in Prince Crimson Firmament's hands?
"It's fine if she's reckless. It's not like she's embarrassing us."
As Empress Luo transmitted her voice to Prince Crimson Firmament, she glanced at Empress Xuan and a smile suffused across her lips.
Her son, Prince Crimson Firmament, had brought Princess White Fox with him and was sitting together with her.
Look at who your daughter is sitting with. It's too embarrassing.
"Alright, young geniuses, the reason why I invited all of you here is to welcome all of you. I also hope that all of you will be able to achieve something in the Luo Divine Hall trials, so as to bring a more glorious future to our Luo clan."
As the host of the banquet, Empress Luo had to say some pleasantries. As for Yi Yun, she quickly stopped paying attention to him.
Everyone raised their cups in unison. Yi Yun also raised his cup and drank a cup of fragrant spirit wine. It was unknown what was used to brew the wine, but not only was it delicious, it also made his body feel hot after drinking it. His lifeblood seemed to thicken.
The good wine was probably worth a fortune. As for the dishes in front of him, they were all top-grade treasures. Eating them was beneficial to one's cultivation level and lifeblood.
Yi Yun estimated that just the small table of dishes he had was worth hundreds or even more than a thousand World Stones.
Just thinking of Lie Ya's pained expression when he took out a few hundred World Stones, Yi Yun felt that he had not come for nothing.
Although he had Purple Crystals, he was actually not rich. Since he had come to the banquet, Yi Yun did not want to lose out. He did not want to miss out on the delicacies and drinks. Hence, the spirit wine and food quickly entered Yi Yun's stomach.
Seeing Yi Yun eat in such a manner, Ran Xueyi and Donglin Yu, who were by the side, were impressed. Did he not notice that Empress Luo had noticed him? Didn't he feel like he was sitting on pins and needles despite his status?
