When Luo Huo 'er said this, no one present said a word. The outcome was obvious. Yi Yun had at least managed to refine a relic, but Luo Kui, who looked impressive, had ended up being reduced to a pile of ashes.
Empress Xuan could not understand it either. She looked at Yi Yun in amazement. She did not know if Yi Yun had already predicted that he would win. It looked like everything was a coincidence, but Yi Yun looked calm and composed from beginning to end. It made people feel like everything was under his control.
Could it be that he had predicted such an outcome from the beginning?
"Huo 'er, what's going on?"
Empress Xuan asked Luo Huo 'er with a Yuan Qi voice transmission.
"Hehe, Mother, I'm not sure what exactly happened, but Yi Yun is an interesting person. It's not easy to make him suffer!"
Among everyone present, Luo Huo 'er knew Yi Yun the best. Although Yi Yun looked harmless, he was extremely black-bellied. He was full of evil tricks!
"Oh? You have such a high evaluation of Yi Yun? " Empress Xuan was somewhat surprised. She knew her own daughter the best. Luo Huo 'er looked a little childish, but she was actually very proud. She looked down on everyone, but she had such an evaluation of Yi Yun.
If that was the case, Empress Xuan felt that she had to re-evaluate the young man.
Upon hearing Empress Xuan say this, Luo Huo 'er's face turned red. How could she not have a high evaluation? Previously in the Tai Ah Divine City, she had suffered quite a bit under Yi Yun's hands. A person who could make her suffer was naturally powerful. If not, wouldn't it be equivalent to saying that she was incompetent?
Of course, she absolutely would not tell Empress Xuan about the embarrassing incident in the lower realm, especially the matter of her body being seen by Yi Yun. If she did, she did not know what Empress Xuan would think.
As Luo Huo 'er was making her own calculations, Empress Xuan's next sentence made Luo Huo' er's face pull down. Empress Xuan said, "Huo 'er, in a while, tell Mother about your experiences in the lower realm."
Ah?
Luo Huo 'er's eyes widened. She was a little choked. Those things … how was she supposed to explain?
Worst of all, her mother knew her the best. If she were to fabricate a story, it would be easy for her to be exposed. Furthermore, back when Luo Huo 'er was stranded in the Tai Ah Divine City, there were Luo clan members who were responsible for her safety. Although they had never shown their faces, nor did they take a step into the Divine City, they more or less understood the situation. As long as Empress Xuan asked them, and compared it with what Luo Huo' er said, it would be easy to infer what was true and what was false …
Upon thinking of this, Luo Huo 'er felt bitter.
…
"Still not coming down? Haven't you embarrassed yourself enough?"
Prince Crimson Firmament's Yuan Qi voice transmission exploded in Luo Kui's ears. Luo Kui had just suffered a heavy blow, and his Ancient Fey bloodline had been damaged. He got up and staggered back to his seat.
He refused to accept this!
But he also knew that he had lost!
Luo Kui felt like he was sitting on pins and needles in the grand hall. Every second he stayed there made his face burn. He felt like others were mocking him.
However, he was indignant to leave. He felt that Yi Yun had won for free. With Yi Yun's Desolate Heaven technique standard, even his Desolate Heaven technique servant was better than Yi Yun, much less himself!
Hence, no matter how embarrassing it was, Luo Kui had to sit in his seat and wait to see Yi Yun being trampled on.
"Your Highness Crimson Sky, this subordinate is ashamed, but … but this brat, he's simply trash. You must get revenge for him," Luo Kui said angrily as he wiped the blood flowing from his ears and nose.
"There's no need for you to say anything. I know what I'm doing!"
Prince Crimson Firmament said with a Yuan Qi voice transmission. He no longer wanted to bother with Luo Kui, but Luo Kui was right. He had to get back at him, or he would really become the laughingstock of the royal capital. Even Emperor Luo might hear of what happened today. It was unknown what Emperor Luo would think of him.
Prince Crimson Firmament looked at Yi Yun as his eyes lit up.
He did not believe that all of this had been arranged by Yi Yun. The main reason was that he did not believe that Yi Yun had the ability to do so.
Taking ten thousand steps back, even if Yi Yun had a tiny bit of a scheme in this matter, his own Desolate Heaven technique strength was definitely limited. Yi Yun's age and background were obvious, so Prince Crimson Firmament did not believe that Yi Yun's standard could match even a tenth of Luo Kui's.
Prince Crimson Firmament took a deep breath and looked at Empress Luo.
Empress Luo's reaction was calm. She only nodded, indicating that everything would be arranged by Prince Crimson Firmament.
This banquet was originally prepared for Prince Crimson Firmament. It was to pave the way for his ascension. Now that a little accident had happened at the banquet, Prince Crimson Firmament should be able to settle it.
Prince Crimson Firmament sighed slightly as he swept his gaze to his side. He first swept his gaze across Princess White Fox.
Princess White Fox was sitting quietly in her seat. She was like a snow lotus that was as pure as ice and as pure as jade. Even the ridiculous outcome of the competition did not stir up much of a stir in her heart.
Prince Crimson Firmament knew that Princess White Fox's Desolate Heaven technique was unparalleled among the younger generation. However, for her to take action, she needed Luo Huo 'er to be her opponent.
Princess White Fox would not take action against just Yi Yun alone, for it would lower her status.
"Luo Mo!"
Prince Crimson Firmament's voice transmission reached outside the grand hall.
About a dozen seconds later, a delicate-looking young man walked into the grand hall. His long hair was tied up behind his head, and he was dressed in a black and white ink shirt. His clothes were painted with beautiful landscape paintings. He did not look like a warrior at all, but more like a scholar who played the zither to the tune of mountains and rivers.
"Young master Luo Mo?"
The moment the delicate-looking young man appeared, someone immediately called out Luo Mo's name.
Luo Mo, who had the title of being the number one scholar among the younger generation in the royal capital!
Luo Mo was not one of the four great young masters of the royal capital. The main reason was that his background was not illustrious. He came from a side branch of the Luo clan. However, Luo Mo had become famous in the royal capital despite his humble background.
He was called a 'scholar' because of his talent in various aspects.
It was sufficient for a typical warrior to have good talent in martial arts. As for Luo Mo, not only was he talented in martial arts, he was also proficient in the zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting. He also had extremely high attainments in the Desolate Heaven technique.
In a warrior's world, the zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting were only treated as pastimes. They were not a Great Dao. However, Luo Mo had managed to develop his own martial arts through the zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting. It was truly amazing. And it was because of his talent and his delicate looks that made it easy for Luo Mo to capture the hearts of girls. In the royal capital, there were many daughters of wealthy families who fought to marry Luo Mo.
"Luo Mo actually came to this banquet. Why didn't I see him just now?"
Many young elites were astonished. If a famous person like Luo Mo appeared, he would definitely be in the limelight. It would be difficult for him not to attract attention.
"He should be in a side room. There is a small banquet table in the side room. It should be a banquet of extremely high standards. If I'm not wrong, there should be some important figures sitting in that side room. It might even be a genius that Empress Luo and Prince Crimson Firmament have recruited."
People discussed with Yuan Qi voice transmissions. With that said, everyone understood.
So that was the case. Empress Luo had set up a Feast at Hongmen. She was worried that if all the lineup was revealed, it would be too strong. It would immediately scare Empress Xuan.
As such, Empress Xuan would not hesitate to leave a reputation of being a coward in order to refuse the competition. It was clear that she would suffer a crushing defeat, so who would agree to it?
Hence, Empress Luo had the intention to hide a few people in a side room with an array formation.
If Empress Xuan agreed to the competition, Empress Luo could call out her people bit by bit. With a gorgeous lineup, she could crush Empress Xuan into a pulp!
However, Empress Luo never expected that Empress Xuan did not even bring her family. It left her powerless. It was not easy for her to use the boorish-looking Luo Kui to pull Empress Xuan's people off the stage to compete, but she ended up encountering a weirdo like Yi Yun.
