Chapter 160: Chapter 160 The Birthday Banquet Begins

"This martial technique is called the Yin Rou Nine Absolute Palm. It emphasizes using softness to overcome hardness, perfect for girls to cultivate. It contains hidden dangers within its softness, with nine continuous strikes that leave the enemy defenseless!"

Mo Wangchen explained with a smile, then looked at Yang Xu with disdain, "In battle, powerful martial techniques are key to victory. This Yin Rou Nine Absolute Palm isn’t useful to me, so I’ll give it to Miss Xiao Qian."

"Really going to give it to me?!"

Xiao Qian looked utterly incredulous, her heart pounding. That was a Xuan Rank Martial Technique! Even the five major families and the Royal Family couldn’t easily give such things away. She hadn’t expected that just by coming out to serve, she’d receive such a benefit today!

"Of course!" Mo Wangchen waved his hand indifferently, "Since I said I’d give it, how could I go back on my word?"

"Hmph!"

Watching Mo Wangchen’s proud expression, Yang Xu felt his anger rise. With a cold snort, he chuckled, "Wasn’t this martial technique originally intended as a gift for the Empress Yun? You’re really generous!"

Although using a martial technique as a gift was somewhat tacky, a Xuan Rank Martial Technique was different. Even the five major families would be reluctant to give such a thing away. Unexpectedly, Mo Wangchen actually presented a Xuan Rank Martial Technique to a maid beside the Empress Yun, such a grand gesture indeed.

"A Xuan Rank Martial Technique as a gift?"

Listening to Yang Xu, Mo Wangchen sneered, "I can’t believe you even thought of it. It’s just you petty people who would bring such a thing out. If it were me, I couldn’t give it away."

"You!"

Yang Xu’s face darkened, feeling openly provoked. "What bravado! If you couldn’t even take out a Xuan Rank Martial Technique, what else could you offer as a gift? Keep bluffing. I’ll see what you bring out during the gift-giving segment!"

"Hmph!"

With that, Yang Xu snorted coldly and then left with Luo Tian, walking forward.

At this moment, led by Xiao Qian, they had already arrived at the VIP area. Scanning the area, at least a hundred seats were arranged neatly in two rows, facing each other. At the end of the seating area was the main gate of the Royal Palace, where a stage was set up with two seats and a table adorned with fine fruits and dishes prepared for the Emperor Yun and Empress Yun.

The VIP area was already bustling with many people, most of whom had already entered and were engaged in conversations with each other.

"Young Master Mo, please follow me."

After Yang Xu and Luo Tian left, Xiao Qian smiled at Mo Wangchen and led him to the seat designated on his invitation.

Seating arrangements at the banquet were meticulously planned. At the very front were naturally the Emperor Yun and Empress Yun. Below them were the Crown Prince, the Prime Minister, and then the high-ranking officials and ancestral figures from various powerful forces.

Elder Ling, as the Alliance Hierarch of the Alchemist Alliance, held a status comparable to the Prime Minister. This time, his seat was right below Emperor Yun and Empress Yun, the most prestigious spot at the banquet.

Since Mo Wangchen’s invitation was prepared by Elder Ling, naturally, Mo Wangchen’s seat was next to Elder Ling.

"You rascal, you finally arrived!"

When Xiao Qian brought Mo Wangchen to the front, Elder Ling sat alone, sipping on the fine wine and fruits before him. Seeing Mo Wangchen, he stood up with a smile and invited him to the vacant seat beside him.

"Who is that? He can sit next to Elder Ling?"

"Never seen him, but he seems young. Could he be a Young Master of the five major families?"

"Nonsense, even the Young Masters of the five major families wouldn’t have the qualification to sit there. Look at Yang Xu and Wan Xingsheng from the Wan Family. They’re only seated in the middle of the banquet..."

"That’s true. Elder Ling’s position isn’t just for anyone, and that young man is seated to the left of Elder Ling and above the Wan Family Ancestor, equivalent to Crown Prince Yun Yi."

With surprise, everyone naturally noticed the scene where Mo Wangchen was invited to sit beside Elder Ling.

"The banquet hasn’t started yet, so I’m not too late." Ignoring the surrounding discussions, Mo Wangchen responded to Elder Ling with a smile.

He then rubbed his nose and chuckled awkwardly, "Did Elder Ling arrange this seating for me? I’m afraid it’s quite eye-catching..."

"Don’t blame me. Your invitation states this location. It was arranged by Empress Yun. Not just anyone can sit here. Young man, don’t take advantage yet feign dissatisfaction," Elder Ling teased.

Mo Wangchen shook his head with a bitter smile. Then, Wan Quan, seated to his right, also smiled and said, "If you think it draws attention now, just wait until you present your gift and your identity is revealed. That’ll really cause a stir."

"My identity?" Mo Wangchen was momentarily stunned.

"Don’t forget, the reason you’re here is because you crafted the Youth Pill. When Empress Yun asks, you won’t stay silent, right? Moreover, as an Alchemist Alliance member, your Youth Pill will be used as a gift, and you must present it." Elder Ling said.

"Is that so..."

Mo Wangchen was momentarily surprised but didn’t mind. He then chatted and laughed with Elder Ling and Wan Quan.

A seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man, chatting and laughing freely with the Alliance Hierarch of the Alchemist Alliance and the wealthiest Wan Family’s ancestor in the Yun Country—such a scene left the banquet attendees wide-eyed.

When did Yun Country have such an outstanding young prodigy?

...

Dong!

No one knew how much time had passed when a pounding, resonant drumbeat echoed. Next, a servant stepped out to the front of the stage and loudly announced, "Welcome the Emperor Yun and Empress Yun!"

At the very front of the banquet, a group of figures slowly approached. The Emperor Yun and Empress Yun, dressed in dragon and phoenix robes, entered with a retinue of maids and attendants.

Following them were two people, a man and a woman, both familiar to Mo Wangchen. The man was none other than Crown Prince Yun Yi, while the woman wore a beautiful, colorful long dress, incredibly stunning and possessing an extraordinary beauty, was Jun Muqing!

"Are the Royal Family officially going to announce Jun Muqing’s status as Crown Princess Consort?"

Watching the scene unfold, not only Mo Wangchen but those who already had some internal information also thought the same.
