"Luo Xiaodie, Luo Kui …"
Yi Yun looked at the man and woman with a huge difference in body proportions. According to Luo Huo'er, Empress Luo had many geniuses under her. Luo Xiaodie and Luo Kui were just two of them.
In a sense, Empress Luo's banquet had achieved the effect of a demonstration. She had completely overshadowed Empress Xuan.
However, Empress Luo was not satisfied with this. Empress Xuan had deliberately avoided the spotlight at this banquet. She did not bring the Xuan family's geniuses, making Empress Luo feel like she was punching cotton.
"Xuan Junyue did not come. How boring!"
Luo Kui said casually as his voice resounded throughout the venue.
The impression that Luo Kui gave others was that he was wild and unrestrained, a boorish person. He seemed to be using this to purposefully say some outrageous words, challenging Empress Xuan's bottom line time and time again.
Empress Luo ate grapes with a smile, but she had no intention of reprimanding Luo Kui.
Luo Kui seemed to be encouraged as he stood up from his seat. He cupped his hands at the crowd and said, "Everyone, just eating and drinking is too boring. Let me add some excitement for everyone."
After Luo Kui said this, he scanned the young elites on Empress Xuan's side. Although there were many young elites present who were clearly standing on Empress Xuan's side, such as Yi Yun, Gu Qing, Ling Wu, etc.
Luo Kui had no way of getting these people to come down and crush them. This was because their standards were too low. For example, Yi Yun was only at the beginning stages of the Heaven Ascension realm. Even if Luo Kui crushed them, he would not feel any sense of accomplishment. Instead, he would be accused of bullying the weak.
However, if he did not crush these people, Empress Xuan had no one on her side.
Luo Kui stroked his chin as he swept his gaze around. His gaze landed on Luo Huo'er. Immediately, a smile suffused across his lips.
"Your Highness! I heard that Your Highness has unparalleled attainments in fire-elemental laws. Furthermore, you are proficient in the Desolate Heaven technique. No one your age can compare with you. This lowly one has been researching fire-elemental laws and the Desolate Heaven technique in recent days. I am very interested in this aspect, but I am not very familiar with the practical aspects. I wonder if Your Highness can teach me? "
When Luo Kui said this, everyone present was stunned.
Although he said that he was asking for advice, if Luo Huo 'er really came down, he would not be as simple as' asking for advice 'if he did anything heavy during the' advice '!
What status did Luo Huo'er have!? Luo Kui could not find an opponent to crush, so he wanted to compete with Luo Huo 'er. He was too lawless!
Indeed, Empress Xuan's expression had sunk.
She already knew that Empress Luo was showing off at the banquet. She had already tolerated it, but she never expected that Empress Luo would target Luo Huo 'er.
A Kui Luo was Kui. Yun and Luo Kui Yang. Luo Kui Yun.
Actually, in terms of the Desolate Heaven technique, Empress Xuan believed that Luo Huo 'er could win. However, Luo Kui might just be a pathfinder. After defeating Luo Kui, there would definitely be someone more powerful. If Luo Huo' er accepted Luo Kui's challenge, but did not accept the next match, it would inevitably make people think that Luo Huo 'er was admitting her inferiority, which was why she did not accept the challenge.
"It is a good thing for young people to have a desire to improve themselves. The Princess is kind-hearted and loves talent. If you sincerely seek advice, Her Highness will definitely not be stingy with her advice." At this moment, Chi Xiao said with a smile.
When Chi Xiao said this, it was equivalent to affirming Luo Kui's sudden idea. People believed that Empress Luo only wanted to suppress the young elites on Empress Xuan's side, but they never expected that they wanted to damage Princess Purple Spirit's reputation!
At this moment, Luo Huo'er spoke. She looked at Luo Kui and said with a sneer, "Luo Kui, have you been conferred a viscount?"
Luo Kui was momentarily unable to answer Luo Huo'er's question. Among the younger generation of the Fey race, his background was definitely not bad. He came from the Yunyang Luo clan. Although it was incomparable to Luo Huo'er, it was still a large faction that ranked in the top twenty of the Luo clan. Compared to Ran Xueyi and Donglin Yu, it was in no way inferior. However, Luo Huo'er deliberately did not mention Luo Kui's background and instead mentioned his viscount.
It was easy for a descendant of a prestigious family to enjoy wealth and splendor, but to be conferred a viscount, one had to have actual meritorious deeds!
Luo Kui was young, so how could he have any meritorious deeds to speak of? He had not even been conferred a viscount. As for Luo Huo'er, she had been designated as the heir to the throne, so she had been conferred the title of queen!
Although the difference in background was small, the difference in the viscount was huge!
Luo Kui's expression turned ugly as Luo Huo'er poked at his sore spot. He said in a muffled voice, "My status is low, and according to the rules, I am indeed not qualified to consult the Princess. However, rules are not absolute at times … For example, at this banquet, the seating arrangement is not completely in accordance with the rules, right?"
When Luo Kui said this, the gazes of everyone present could not help but drift towards Yi Yun.
Luo Huo'er had reprimanded Luo Kui for not knowing the rules, but Luo Kui had counterattacked without batting an eyelid. Indeed, it was against the rules for Luo Huo'er to allow Yi Yun to sit beside her.
"This brother sure has a good appetite." Luo Kui looked at the large pile of spirit food remains in front of Yi Yun with a faint smile.
Yi Yun never expected that the spearhead would suddenly shift to him.
"I wonder which family clan this brother comes from, and if he has a noble title?"
He was asking a question he already knew the answer to. Many people on Empress Luo's side were looking at Yi Yun, waiting to see him make a fool of himself. However, they did not see any embarrassment on Yi Yun's face. Yi Yun took out a snow-satin handkerchief from the table and leisurely wiped his mouth. "This lowly one comes from a tiny village in the lower realm. As for my background … my ancestors were farmers."
Yi Yun's answer made everyone stare at him. Even people on Empress Xuan's side, such as Ling Wu and Gu Qing, were impressed by Yi Yun's tenacity. A typical person would have found a hole in the ground to hide in after being mocked by him in such a manner. Yet, he was able to give such a serious answer.
"Hahaha!" Luo Kui roared with laughter. "This brother sure is' simple '. You must have gotten to know Princess Purple Spirit in the lower realm, right? Her Highness is indeed courteous to a human from the lower realm."
When Luo Kui said this, everyone was enlightened. So this punk and Princess Purple Spirit had gotten to know each other in the lower realm. Princess Purple Spirit was truly childish to think so highly of a punk from the lower realm she got to know.
Empress Luo glanced at Empress Xuan as a teasing smile suffused across her lips. Although she did not believe that Luo Huo'er, who had lofty aspirations, would fancy Yi Yun, if she were to exaggerate the matter to Emperor Luo, she believed that no matter how much Emperor Luo doted on Luo Huo'er, he would still be angry. This would be a disgrace to the royal family.
At this moment, Yi Yun had just wiped his mouth and carefully wiped his hands with the snow-satin handkerchief. Then, he threw the handkerchief away and said, "I got to know her when I was learning the Desolate Heaven technique in the lower realm. I learned the Desolate Heaven technique from Princess Purple Spirit for about five to six months, so I can be considered to have some small achievements."
"Didn't you want Princess Purple Spirit to give you pointers in the Desolate Heaven technique? You already said that you just began studying the Desolate Heaven technique, so I'm guessing that your standard isn't much. You might even be inferior to me. If you get Princess Purple Spirit to give you pointers, I'm afraid you won't understand. Why don't I give you some pointers? "
When Yi Yun said this, everyone present was dumbfounded.
Even Empress Luo was a bit dumbfounded, much less Luo Kui.
There was too much information in Yi Yun's words. They all knew that Yi Yun had obtained first place at the Mt. Azure Billow collective training. With Yi Yun's background, it was indeed impressive for him to have such an achievement.
But … Yi Yun also knew the Desolate Heaven technique!?
"Learned the Desolate Heaven technique for five to six months"?
"That can be considered to have some small achievements"?
The Desolate Heaven technique was extensive and profound. Without decades of hard work, it was impossible to have any achievements! Yi Yun was bragging!
However, it was also impossible for Yi Yun to be immersed in the Desolate Heaven technique for decades. He was a warrior from the lower realm, and his bone age was not even forty. Practicing martial arts took up most of his time, so how could he have the energy to study the Desolate Heaven technique?
"Little Yun, what are you talking about?" At this moment, Luo Huo'er's Yuan Qi voice transmission rang in Yi Yun's ears. "Little Yun, I know you have talent in the Desolate Heaven technique, but you do not know that the Ten Thousand Fey Empyrean Heaven's Desolate Heaven technique heritage is the best in the 12 Empyrean Heavens. It is completely different from the Desolate Heaven technique heritage in the lower realm. Be it the techniques or techniques, all the techniques are different! After you came to the Ten Thousand Fey Empyrean Heaven, have you learned the Ten Thousand Fey Empyrean Heaven's Desolate Heaven technique? "
Yi Yun shook his head. He naturally understood the logic behind Luo Huo'er's words. Although Yi Yun had the Purple Crystal, the time he spent learning the Desolate Heaven technique was just too short. Ignoring the Ten Thousand Fey Empyrean Heaven, even in the lower realm, the time he spent learning the Desolate Heaven technique was measured in months.
"Hahaha!" Luo Kui suddenly laughed out loud. "What did you say? You want to give me pointers? How interesting. I just casually mentioned that I am only at the beginning of the Desolate Heaven technique, and a person who has only learned the Desolate Heaven technique for five to six months jumped out to give me pointers. A godly person like you actually managed to gain the favor of Her Highness? Could it be that you are trying to swindle and deceive Her Highness by using Her Highness' consideration for the wise!? "
Luo Kui mocked mercilessly. He did not dare to speak rudely to Princess Purple Spirit, but he had no qualms with Yi Yun. Regardless of whether Yi Yun had deceived Princess Purple Spirit or not, mocking Yi Yun would damage Princess Purple Spirit's prestige.
At this moment, Yi Yun had already stood up.
Luo Kui looked at Yi Yun with contempt. He was extremely ambitious, and none of the geniuses present caught his eye. Only by trampling on the high and mighty Princess would he be able to make a name for himself, allowing Prince Crimson Firmament to bestow him with a noble title after inheriting the throne.
But now, he could not trample on the Princess, but a minion had come to court death.
Luo Kui had been cultivating for eighty years, and he had studied the Desolate Heaven technique for more than a decade. He had definitely come prepared! Even if he met Luo Huo'er, he was confident that he could compete with her.
Many people present knew Luo Kui's background. They looked at Yi Yun and shook their heads. This was a complete farce.
Seeing that this matter could no longer be stopped, Luo Huo'er's lips quivered, but she eventually chose to remain silent. She understood Yi Yun and knew that he would always do unexpected things. Back in the Tai Ah Divine City, Luo Huo'er had believed that she had Yi Yun in the bag several times, but she ended up suffering a great loss.
