When Chen Xiao and Jun Mengxiao arrived together, the crowd was so shocked that their eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
Although Jun Mengxiao had only been in the royal capital for a short period of time, she was the daughter of the Second Duke, Princess Huiqin, and her stunning beauty. She had long become a goddess in the royal capital!
Even within the top ten heroes, there were admirers of Princess Huiqin.
However, just as many of the prodigies were rubbing their fists and preparing to fight over the beauty, an unknown kid suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
This scene made countless people speechless!
"Oh my god! It can't be that fast, right? Princess Huiqin is taken already? "
"Who is that kid? How could he win the princess's heart?!"
"Wait... I remember now! Yesterday, there was news that not only did the princess reject Lian Wenhua, she even invited a mysterious young man into her carriage. Don't worry! "
"Now that you mention it, I remember that there was such news. However, at that time, I thought it was fake news..."
The group of people were all wailing in grief. Their hearts felt stuffy, as if someone had blocked their heart veins.
"What kind of fake news is this? It's such a shocking event, but it didn't spread much. Clearly, someone is secretly stopping the news from spreading!"
"To be able to do this, I'm afraid the influence behind this kid is greater than we imagined!"
Outside the palace, there were people with serious expressions. They believed that Chen Xiao was not simple.
To some people, as the only daughter of the Jindan State, how could the Second Duke not check on Jun Mengxiao's friend?
The fact that the two of them were able to attend the Genius's Banquet had already explained everything.
At the same time, Jun Mengxiao whispered into Chen Xiao's ear, introducing the other prodigies to him.
"The Genius's Banquet is indeed worthy of its name. For example, Wu Shifan, Luo Qianqiu, Lian Shanghao, etc. of the top ten heroes of the royal capital. In the Hundred Sect Alliance, even the weakest prodigies have reached the Dharma stage. "
"And the top three of the top ten heroes have reached the Yuan Dan Pill stage. Their talents are the best in the entire Xuan Wu country."
"Other than that, to be able to groom these geniuses, the faction behind them is also not to be underestimated …"
The large group of people at the back were almost heartbroken by this scene. In the eyes of many people, this was a display of intimacy, and it represented that the progress of their relationship had already reached a point where it caused others to be envious and jealous!
The two of them went deeper into the palace.
They hadn't walked far when a few familiar figures appeared. It was Yi Lansheng's group.
"Little brother, you guys are here too!" The little she-devil Liu Ziqing was pleasantly surprised. Imperial Book II
Even though they had just joined Xuan Wu Academy, they were told that they had met the requirements and were qualified to attend this unprecedented banquet.
Of course, their cultivation realms were among the lowest in the entire banquet.
"You guys are here too?"
Jun Mengxiao frowned slightly. She suddenly sensed something unusual.
Liu Ziqing couldn't help but curl his lips and grumble with dissatisfaction, "Could it be that you don't want to see us and are afraid that your world of two will be disturbed?"
"You little girl, you're always thinking about these things!"
Jun Mengxiao blushed slightly and then glared at Liu Ziqing. She said solemnly, "That's not the case. Logically speaking, your cultivation realms have indeed met the requirements of the Prodigy Banquet and you are qualified to attend tonight's banquet. However, you've only been in the royal capital for a day. Who was so kind as to specially add on a spot for you?"
Theoretically speaking, as long as one met the requirements, they would naturally be qualified to attend.
But that wasn't the case most of the time.
Not to mention that the name list of the Prodigy Banquet was determined in advance. Under normal circumstances, it was impossible to add people at the last minute …
Even if someone really wanted to add people, Liu Ziqing and the others had just arrived in the royal capital and were completely unfamiliar with the place and people. Who would deliberately pay attention to a few young people?
"Now that Miss Jun has put it this way …"
Yi Lansheng also frowned and said solemnly, "It's indeed strange that we were invited to the banquet. However, since we're already here, we can't miss such a good opportunity to broaden our horizons."
The others nodded.
To them …
Even though they were at the bottom among the prodigies, the Prodigy Banquet was a once-in-a-century event. If they missed this opportunity, their horizons might fall behind their peers!
"You don't have to worry about safety. I'm here."
Right at this moment, Chen Xiao spoke indifferently and calmly.
"Brother Yao, can you protect us?"
The little she-devil Liu Ziqing's expression instantly changed, revealing a pitiful expression.
Yi Lansheng only smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Thank you for your kindness, Brother Yao. However, there are too many prodigies here and many of them have powerful backgrounds. Brother Yao doesn't need to offend those big shots for us."
"We'll be careful ourselves. Brother Yao, you have to be careful too. You and Miss Jun together will probably make many people jealous."
Even the usually carefree Bu Zhan unexpectedly showed his attentiveness as he shook his head to remind Chen Xiao in a low voice. A flash of misfortune
However, anyone could see that these people didn't think that Chen Xiao had the ability to protect them.
If he really had that ability, Chen Xiao wouldn't have come with Jun Mengxiao. He would have been invited to the Prodigy Banquet alone.
"That's fine. Since we're here, we have to see it for ourselves."
After pondering for a moment, Jun Mengxiao nodded.
The group walked towards the depths of the royal palace again.
Soon...
The surrounding crowd gradually dispersed. What appeared before their eyes was a dazzling and gorgeous venue.
The prodigies shuttled through the crowd, exuding an astonishing and extraordinary aura. Their auras collided ceaselessly in this area, and it was as if the stars in the sky were twinkling.
"Once the banquet begins, prodigies from all over will compete. The next hundred years will belong to us!"
It was a grey-haired young man holding a goblet of wine. His eyes flickered with pride as he spoke as if no one else was present.
"This person's name is Yan Wuqing. He cultivates a domineering demonic art. His cultivation is second only to the capital's ten heroes."
Seeing Yan Wuqing not far away, Jun Mengxiao revealed a trace of fear and reminded in a low voice, "This person is extremely ruthless. It's best to stay as far away from him as possible. If it's not necessary, don't provoke him."
The capital's ten heroes might have to consider their reputation if they took action.
However, Yan Wuqing's actions had always been extremely daring and could be said to be fearless!
The others were similarly frightened as they nodded in agreement.
However, at this moment, a young man walked to Yan Wuqing's side and quickly whispered a few words into his ear. Then, Yan Wuqing suddenly looked up and glanced at Chen Xiao and the others!
Jun Mengxiao's pretty face changed. "Lian Wenhua!"
Who else could the young man who suddenly appeared be other than Lian Wenhua?
And now, Lian Wenhua had obviously said something that attracted Yan Wuqing's attention.
"I heard that the few of you … snuck in?"
Yan Wuqing held the goblet of wine. His figure was extremely slender, and his grey hair fluttered in the wind. A pair of indifferent eyes looked down at Chen Xiao.
"I'll give you a chance now. Get out of the Prodigy Banquet. Don't stay and embarrass yourselves."
As soon as the words came out, everyone was shocked!
