"It was the Emperor who wanted to see . Why didn't he tell you in advance?" Ye Liuyun asked yet again.
"You lured the two princesses. So shouldn't you et their parents?" Lingshuang said with a smile.
"To et my father-in-law? Do we need such a grand occasion?" Ye Liuyun noticed that there were a few young n who had arrived one after another today.
There was a large crowd in the dining hall. Based on the seating, it could hold four to five hundred people.
"It depends on your performance! But you don't have to worry, I will always be with you!"
"You're accompanying ?" Ye Liuyun was confused.
Lingshuang explained, "I'm your trophy. Since you won, of course I have to accompany you. I'm not like my sister! She's the protagonist tonight. Whether or not you can get my father's permission to marry her depends on your performance!"
At this ti, the Fourth Prince ca over and said to Ye Liuyun with a smile, "Everything hinges on your performance tonight!"
"What are you all talking about? How am I supposed to perform?" Ye Liuyun was still at a loss.
"Can you give so hints?" Ye Liuyun had no choice but to ask Lingshuang.
Lingshuang gently picked up his arm and comforted him, "Don't be nervous. Just do your best!"
Ye Liuyun beca irritated when she couldn't get to the point.
"What on earth is happening?"
Seeing that Ye Liuyun was a little angry, Lingshuang could only send a voice transmission to him, "My father is going to find a son-in-law through tornant!"
She pretended to be calm as she tried to persuade Ye Liuyun, "Why are you in such a hurry? You'll know soon. Let's go, I'll take you to your seat."
Ye Liuyun realised right away that soone had to be monitoring Lingshuang's words to stop her from revealing the details beforehand.
Therefore, Ye Liuyun pretended to be upset and followed Lingshuang to find a random seat to sit down.
Lingshuang sat next to Ye Liuyun, clutching his arm obediently.
Ye Liuyun asked, "Did your father ask you to be with ?"
"That's right! Didn't you have a bet with the sacred disciple of the Devil Clan? Even if my father wants to give to the Devil Clan, he can't!" Lingshuang said with a smile.
At the sa ti, she sent a voice transmission to Ye Liuyun. "That's why it's much more troubleso for my sister!"
Ye Liuyun nodded and didn't say anything else.
Whether the Emperor was testing him or making things tough for him, he would not let anyone else win over Xia Tianqiong's heart.
Those who were invited to the banquet were almost all descendants of the Royal Nobles and disciples of the great clans.
They began by discussing the royal family's competition for the ninth princess' prospective marriage.
"It seems as though he's just hiding it from !" Ye Liuyun was even more certain that the Emperor had intentionally given him a head-on blow.
When these people observed Lingshuang remove her veil and stay silently by Ye Liuyun's side, they were all taken aback.
"Is she the 13th princess? Who's the guy next to her?"
"Haven't you heard of the bet between the sacred disciple of the Devil Clan and Prince Yonglie?"
"So that's Prince Yonglie? He's so young?"
Soon, they beca the focus of everyone's attention.
Lingshuang, on the other hand, was unconcerned. She would occasionally pour wine for Ye Liuyun while seeming quite well-behaved.
"It's too much! You don't usually behave like this!"
For a mont, Ye Liuyun was not used to it.
"Since we're outside. I have to show respect for n!" Lingshuang replied with a smile.
Ye Liuyun smiled awkwardly and ignored her. Instead, he sized up these people's realms.
"There are still a few at the First Level!" Ye Liuyun was shocked.
He noticed other young individuals sitting quietly, but they had all reached the first level of realm.
"If I don't have the ability, Tianqiong will be taken away from !"
Ye Liuyun gave it a quick glance and then turned his attention away. Then, he spent his ti speaking and drinking with Lingshuang, making the other guys green with jealousy.
Lingshuang was overjoyed to see that Ye Liuyun could keep his attention on her despite the stress of the situation.
In the case of being the centre of attention, it felt different chatting and drinking with the person she loved.
The more they talked, the more engrossed they beca. They had completely ignored the people around them.
As more and more people arrived, the seats were almost full.
At this mont, a loud voice rang out.
"The Emperor has arrived!"
"Emperor Xia?"
"Emperor Xia ca in person?"
"And his wife, Empress Xiao?"
Everyone stood up in surprise.
Lingshuang tugged at Ye Liuyun and pulled him up.
"That's my father and birth mother of my sister!" Lingshuang introduced Ye Liuyun in a low voice.
This was the first ti Ye Liuyun had seen the Emperor, and he realized that the Crown Prince looked quite similar to him. When compared to the Crown Prince, the Emperor's visage seed considerably more dignified and solid. He appeared to be in his forties.
Xia Tianqiong followed behind him. She saw Ye Liuyun at a glance as he looked in her direction.
She hadn't been getting much rest recently, and it showed. She looked exhausted and drained since the Emperor was holding a son-in-law competition.
As she stared at Ye Liuyun, her eyes were likewise filled with sadness.
While Xia Tianqiong felt uneasy, Ye Liuyun gave her a reassuring glance and told her to relax.
Despite the fact that neither of them used Divine Sense transmission, Ye Liuyun's reassured stare instantly cald her, and a slight grin ca on her face.
When the others noticed the Ninth Princess smiling at Ye Liuyun, several of them expressed their displeasure and looked at Ye Liuyun with disdain.
"I trust that everyone who has been invited today knows the purpose of this banquet," the Emperor said. His deep voice was quite pleasant to listen to.
Ye Liuyun glanced at him and cursed in his heart: "I'm the only one who doesn't know!"
The Emperor turned to look at him. Then, he said while smiling, "This banquet is for the ninth princess to choose a husband through the tournant!"
As soon as the Emperor finished speaking, an arena rose from the center of the banquet hall.
The arena was quite unique. It didn't appear to be particularly large at first glance, but upon entering, the room within was actually large enough for a martial practitioner to practise normally.
The Emperor continued, "Anyone who has received an invitation will have the qualifications to participate in the competition. There are no restrictions to the competition. Immortal Level weapons, treasures, feral beast, and other items can be used."
"The winner will be determined by the defeat or death of one party. Whoever wins the final victory will marry the Ninth Princess!"
The Emperor's speech was straightforward and to the point. He had finished stating the rules of his hunt for a son-in-law in just a few words.
Although Xia Tianqiong was ntally prepared, she still looked nervously at Ye Liuyun.
The imperial family had sent an elder to be the referee of the competition.
After the elder stepped forward, he asked the crowd directly, "Which young hero will fight in the first round?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Liuyun chid in, "I'll do it!"
Ye Liuyun was afraid that Xia Tianqiong would be concerned, so he took the initiative to co on the stage.
Furthermore, he believed that since the Emperor wanted to make things tough for him, he would not disappoint the Emperor!
Therefore, he was the first to step onto the ring.
Everyone knew how difficult it was to fight from the beginning to the end!
