Chapter 144 I heard that recently, a peerless genius named
Xu Tianran has emerged from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, and there are many stories about him.
If you were to ask who the most dangerous person in the entire Sun Moon Empire is, Yun Ze would definitely put him at the top of the list.
Ruthless, shameless, and unscrupulous—that's Yun Ze's assessment of Xu Tianran.
Whether you're his enemy or friend, you have to be extremely wary of him.
After Xu Tianran appeared, he merely greeted the many high-ranking officials at the front of the banquet, and then was pushed in a wheelchair by a maid to Jing Hongchen and the others.
"Royal Uncle, Hall Master Hongchen, today is my little sister's birthday. Please enjoy yourselves." Xu Tianran's tone was very calm, and coupled with the gentle smile on his face, he did indeed appear to be a very approachable crown prince.
Xu Tianyuan and Jing Hongchen responded in kind.
Xu Tianzhen blinked, then his eyes suddenly lit up. He waved to a middle-aged man who emerged surrounded by numerous guards, "Father!"
The final figure to appear was naturally the current emperor of the Sun Moon Empire, the most powerful being in the entire empire.
He glanced at Xu Tianzhen, a smile appearing on his imposing face, before he stepped onto the dragon throne.
The moment he sat down, his supreme royal aura was instantly released.
*Whoosh*—the
instant the Sun Moon Emperor took his seat, almost everyone present instantly buckled at the knees, kneeling on the ground. Those at the front did not kneel, but bowed slightly.
Yun Ze was also pulled to half-kneel by Meng Hongchen. He slightly raised his head, memorizing the emperor's face.
His first impression: this was definitely not someone to be trifled with.
Then, he understood why the Sun Moon Empire had developed so rapidly in recent years.
The original emperor, who was the elder brother of the Sun and Moon Emperor, advocated peaceful development and stable expansion. However, after the death of the former emperor and the ascension of the new emperor, he became extremely radical.
Whether it was the military development in the field of soul guidance or the strategic strike against the Star Luo Empire, the closest empire to their territory, it was all the work of this emperor.
An absolute ruler!
"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live
the Emperor!" A deafening roar echoed through the hall. The Sun and Moon Emperor's face remained expressionless; he merely nodded slightly, then raised his hand and said calmly, "Rise, everyone. Today is my beloved daughter's birthday banquet. Please enjoy yourselves."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
With a chorus of rustling sounds, the numerous nobles and geniuses present resumed their standing postures, though they appeared more restrained than before.
Xu Tianran smiled slightly and waved his hand. Soon, melodious music filled the hall, and dozens of elegantly dressed palace maids danced gracefully to the music.
Just then, two figures suddenly walked towards Yunze. Meng Hongchen narrowed her eyes and instinctively stepped in front of Yunze, while Xiao Hongchen curled her lip and walked straight past.
"Xiao Hongchen greets Your Highness."
The one in the lead was a voluptuous and beautiful woman who looked to be around thirty years old. Her well-fitting and gorgeous palace dress accentuated her perfect figure.
Her face gave off a dignified beauty, but what was most eye-catching were her ridiculously pert buttocks.
Many noblemen nearby were first stunned, then revealed gloating expressions.
Although they had no connection with Yunze, this kid's extremely high looks alone were already enough to annoy them. Not to mention that the person who has come to visit is none other than the current Emperor's legal wife—Empress Jiang Liyan of the Sun Moon Empire!
Jiang Liyan's delicate red lips pursed slightly, her voice gentle yet elegant, "I have always regarded Master Hongchen as an elder brother. You are his descendant, and naturally, you are also my junior. Today is Tianzhen's birthday banquet, so there is no need for such formalities."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xiao Hongchen nodded. "May I ask what brings Your Majesty here?"
"I heard from my nephew that a peerless genius has recently emerged from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, and he has a close relationship with Master Hongchen's beloved granddaughter, so I wished to come and see him." As Jiang Liyan spoke, her gaze shifted and landed on Yun Ze.
Her pupils contracted slightly. Could there really be such a handsome young man in this world?
No wonder the eldest daughter of the Hongchen family is so enamored with him.
If she weren't the Empress of a nation, perhaps she herself would be interested in this little fellow.
"This must be Yunze, the student my nephew mentioned. Indeed, despite his young age, he possesses an extraordinary aura. No wonder he's the youngest Level 3 Soul Master in our empire." Jiang Liyan walked up to Yunze and Meng Hongchen, smiling slightly at Yunze.
Yunze bowed, "Yunze greets Your Majesty the Empress."
Then, he looked at Jiang Moyan beside him, "Senior, if I offended you that day, please forgive me."
Jiang Moyan smiled slightly and shook his head, "Junior, there's no need for that. You are a genius of the academy, and you will likely represent the academy in the Soul Master Competition in the future. I hope you can defeat Shrek Academy and bring glory to the empire."
"Of course," Yunze nodded.
Jiang Liyan gave Yunze a deep look, then suddenly beckoned to someone not far away, "Tianzhen, come here for a moment."
Xu Tianzhen, who was enjoying her meal, paused when she heard Jiang Liyan's voice, then clapped her hands and ran over, "Mother, I'm still eating."
"You silly child." Jiang Liyan's face showed a hint of doting affection as she gently rubbed Xu Tianzhen's head, then said, "This is Yunze from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. It seems he's been exceptionally admitted to the Mingde Hall. He's about your age, but he's already a Level 3 Soul Master and a Level 40 Soul Grandmaster."
Xu Tianzhen looked at Yunze.
Hmm...
He's so handsome.
"So amazing." Xu Tianzhen said, "Mother, did you want me to meet him? I already do! Can we go back and eat now? The Imperial Kitchen made so much delicious food today, Mother, please eat more later."
Yunze couldn't help but chuckle to himself; this little princess was quite adorable.
Jiang Liyan gently stroked Xu Tianzhen's head. "Tianzhen, do you know how old your mother was when she got engaged to your father?"
Xu Tianzhen blinked. "No, I don't know."
"Back then, I was only thirteen, and your father was seventeen," Jiang Liyan said softly. "Although you're still young now, you'll get married someday."
"So, Tianzhen, your mother wants to ask you, what do you think of this Yunze?"
Upon hearing this, Yunze, Meng Hongchen, and Xiao Hongchen's eyes all flashed.
Not far away, Jing Hongchen glanced over, then continued to clink glasses with Xu Tianyuan and Xu Tianran.
Xu Tianzhen glanced at Yunze again. "He's quite handsome, but I don't like him."
Jiang Liyan smiled. "But in Mother's eyes, he's outstanding in both appearance and talent."
"I've only just met him, how could I possibly like him so quickly?" Xu Tianzhen pouted. "Besides, these pretty boys seem so amiable on the surface, who knows what they're thinking?" Upon
hearing this, Meng Hongchen became somewhat displeased.
But Yunze directly reached out and took Meng Hongchen's hand, then looked up at Jiang Liyan and Xu Tianzhen, saying, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I already have someone I love, so I think you should retract your suggestion."
