Empress Luo's birthday banquet ended in a completely unexpected outcome. As for Yi Yun's name, it was spread among the upper echelons of the Luo clan through the mouths of the top geniuses of each state.
He came from a lower realm, yet he was ranked first in the Fire Cloud State and Phoenix Firmiana State's collective training. This achievement might not be considered amazing, but after he defeated Luo Mo in the Desolate Heaven technique, he had truly shot to fame!
Now, Yi Yun was in the limelight. Furthermore, he was only in his thirties, so his future was limitless.
At this moment, within a large hall of the Xushui Ran Clan.
Ran Yu knelt on the ground and pressed his hands against the ground. Due to excessive force, the veins on his fingers were bulging.
A middle-aged man was sitting in front of Ran Yu. He was holding a book in his hand and silently flipping through it.
This middle-aged man was one of the elders of the Xushui Ran clan and also Ran Yu's fourth uncle. He had always been Ran Yu's backer.
But just now, the middle-aged man had told Ran Yu about Empress Luo's banquet. When he said it, Ran Yu's heart palpitated. The contents were unbelievable, but how could Fourth Uncle lie to him?
Yi Yun even knew the Desolate Heaven technique!
Ran Yu did not understand the Desolate Heaven technique at all. He had placed all his focus on cultivation. The Desolate Heaven technique was too time-consuming, but even so, his cultivation achievements could not compare to Yi Yun's.
The difference was too great …
"Don't provoke Yi Yun again. You can't afford to provoke him either. The family clan has already decided not to target Yi Yun."
The middle-aged man poured a bucket of cold water on him, and Ran Yu's body trembled.
"But my Xushui Ran Clan's face …" Ran Yu said unwillingly.
"Hmph!" The middle-aged man snorted coldly and said, "Face is relative. If Yi Yun was an ant, then even if he gently bit you, you would be trampled to death. But now, he is no longer an ant. My Ran clan is obviously not afraid of Yi Yun. However, Yi Yun is currently in the limelight and has a close relationship with Princess Purple Spirit. My Ran clan can deal with Yi Yun, but the cost is too high. It is not worth it!"
As the middle-aged man spoke, Ran Yu knelt on the ground, his fingernails scratching the floor tiles.
Why was this happening? Just a month ago, Yi Yun was like an ant in his eyes.
But now, be it his identity, status or reputation, he was far inferior to Yi Yun. Even the family had chosen to avoid the brunt of this matter!
The middle-aged man added, "Now that Yi Yun has taken up residence in Viscount Manor, he will likely be in the royal capital often in the future. As for you … feel free to choose any of the Ran clan's secular properties in the other states. I will do my best to arrange them for you."
As the middle-aged man spoke, he stood up and left the main hall. As for Ran Yu, he slumped to the ground. Managing a family business, slowly dying of old age. Was this his ending …?
…
The Luo clan royal city was the sacred land of the Luo clan. In the royal city, elites gathered.
Not everyone had the qualifications to own a mansion in the Luo clan's royal capital, not to mention the astonishing land prices.
Being able to own a house in the Imperial City was a symbol of glory in itself.
But now, Yi Yun had obtained a huge mansion that spanned more than a kilometer.
This was one of the Xuan family's properties in the royal capital. Now, it was conferred to Yi Yun as a viscount residence.
When Yi Yun first entered the viscount residence, there were some people who sent him congratulatory gifts. However, it was not to the extent of being crowded. On the contrary, there were very few people who visited Yi Yun.
After all, Yi Yun was on Empress Xuan's side. During the critical period of the fight for the throne, the factions in the royal capital were very cautious when interacting with people from both sides.
On the night that Yi Yun took up residence in the viscount residence, a visitor came. It was a golden-armored guard from the royal palace. He only brought one piece of news — Her Majesty Empress Xuan wanted to meet Yi Yun.
It was reasonable for Empress Xuan to meet Yi Yun after the banquet ended.
Yi Yun packed up a little and followed the golden-armored guard straight to Fenghua Palace.
This was the first time Yi Yun came to the Luo clan's true royal palace. As far as the eye could see, it was filled with immortal mountains and palaces.
The true core of the royal palace was enveloped by a large array. It was impossible to see that the lofty Emperor Luo of the Luo clan lived in the core region.
As for Fenghua Palace, it was located behind the royal palace. There was also a large array set up here. Under the escort of the golden-armored guard, Yi Yun successfully entered.
Most of the buildings in Fenghua Palace were covered in red glazed tiles. From afar, Fenghua Palace looked like a fire phoenix that resided deep in the mountains. It was beautiful and glorious.
"Little Yun!"
Just as Yi Yun entered Fenghua Palace's grand hall, he heard a joyful voice. It was Luo Huo'er.
Yi Yun turned his head and saw Luo Huo'er dressed in a red chiffon dress walking towards him with a grin. Fenghua Palace's grand hall was covered in goose down carpets, so Luo Huo'er went barefoot. Her white toes were like pearls.
And behind Luo Huo'er was Empress Xuan.
As the mother of a country, she was graceful and dignified. However, when Empress Xuan looked at her daughter, she shook her head.
Usually, Luo Huo'er could barely maintain the bearing of a princess outside. However, in the royal palace, she did not look like a princess at all.
Now, in front of Yi Yun, Luo Huo'er was the same.
"Greetings Your Majesty Empress Xuan, greetings …"
"There's no need for formalities." Seeing Yi Yun about to call her Princess Purple Spirit in all seriousness, Luo Huo'er felt very awkward and hurriedly interrupted Yi Yun. Yi Yun might be calling her princess, but he might be holding back his laughter in his heart.
"It's been a while since we last met. Little Yun, you have improved quite a bit. Not bad, not bad. This Princess is very pleased! Thinking back to when you were in the lower realm, you were very talented in the Desolate Heaven technique. Back then, This Princess was already very appreciative of your talent. "Luo Huo'er walked forward and said with a grin.
But when these words entered Yi Yun's ears, it sounded a little weird …
"When you return, you have to cultivate. The Luo Divine Hall trials are around the corner, so you should be in reclusive training." As Luo Huo'er said this, she smiled at Yi Yun. "Alright, go ahead. Enter reclusive training in one go until the trials begin. Do not have any distractions! "
What was going on? Yi Yun was at a loss. She had called him over just to say a few words? And then she wanted him to enter reclusive training?
Yi Yun glanced at Empress Xuan in a daze. He heard Empress Xuan say, "There's no rush. This Princess still has a few words to say to you."
Luo Huo'er hurriedly said, "Mother, Little Yun still needs to enter reclusive training!"
"The time it takes to brew a pot of tea won't delay his reclusive training." As Empress Xuan spoke, she looked at Yi Yun with a smile. "Yi Yun, you and Huo'er already knew each other in the lower realm. If that's the case, there's no need for you to stand on ceremony in front of This Princess."
"Huo'er mentioned that when the two of you first got to know each other, you were at odds with each other and there was quite a bit of friction. This Princess knows Huo'er's character very well. It's not surprising that she would do such things. However, the matter regarding the relic was too much. This Princess has already spoken to Huo'er. "
The matter regarding the relic? Could it be referring to the explosion of the relic during the refinement process?
That matter was caused by Luo Huo'er's attempt to embarrass Yi Yun first …
