Hearing Sky Soaring Sect, Emperor had a crease form on his forehead, but he soon controlled his facial muscles, "Blessed is the sect to have such a talented disciple at such a young age. I will be looking forward to your achievements in the tournament."
Han Cai shook his head and spoke, "I apologize to your majesty, but I am too young to join the tournament. My master had forbidden me from joining the tournament."
The Emperor thought something and sighed, then nodded and spoke, "Prime Minister." "Han Cai and His Master are guests of Our Royal Family. Please make sure that they are treated well."
Prime Minister bowed and spoke, "Yes, your majesty."
After that, the emperor turned and walked towards the throne and sat down.
As the emperor took his seat on the highest platform, He spoke briefly, thanking everyone for attending the banquet and wishing them all a prosperous year ahead. The empress and the prime minister also gave speeches, and then the feast began. The courtiers and guests started to eat and drink.
Han Cai's back was drenched in sweat. Not because he feared the emperor but because this was first time someone noticed when they were scanned by the system. Han Cai sat down and inquired about the system. How did the emperor find out about scanning? it was obvious only when he scanned the emperor noticed him.
The system gave him the response that it was a simple case of cause and effect.
The system basically used energy to bend the laws of this world when it accomplished something that was not feasible in this world. The royal family's defense array was one of the best types of defense array. It was able to notice when the law was manipulated in the royal palace, and the emperor was notified about it immediately. This is why the emperor might have noticed the fluctuations in the laws when the system used energy to bend the laws of this world to get the details about Emperor.
Han Cai asked the system if there was a way to hide the fluctuations in-laws when he scans someone, or he would never be able to scan anyone powerful again as the fluctuation in law will always alert them. The system responded that it could hide the fluctuations, but then the cost of scanning might double. Han Cai sighed in relief. As long as you were rich, there was always going to be a solution to every problem.
The royal banquet had begun in full swing, with entertainers taking the center stage one after the other. The display of music and dance was a breathtaking spectacle, creating an atmosphere of enchantment and joy. New exquisite dishes were being served continuously, providing the guests with a culinary experience like no other. The aroma of the food filled the banquet hall, tantalizing the senses of everyone present.
Most of the leaders of sects and families were more interested in getting the attention of the emperor than indulging in the festivities. They knew that the emperor's favor could bring great benefits to their sects and families, so they were eager to make a lasting impression.
The emperor, however, seemed to have his attention focused on a particular disciple from the Sky Soaring Sect. This did not go unnoticed by the other sects, especially the Frost Peak Sect. The Sky Soaring Sect and Frost Peak Sect were direct competitors, with both having cultivators with the highest cultivation at the Nascent Soul stage.
Seeing that the emperor was only paying attention to the Sky Soaring Sect's Han Cai, the Frost Peak elder, Elder Huiqing, became concerned. He knew that he had to do something to ensure that his sect did not lose out to their rival.
Elder Huiqing got up from his seat and addressed the emperor loudly, "Your Majesty, thank you for hosting such a grand banquet. On behalf of the Frost Peak Sect, I would like to introduce two of our core disciples who have come to pay their respects to you."
He gestured toward a young girl named Fei and a boy named Yu Jian. "These two are geniuses of our sect. Fei is a master with the bow and arrow, and Yu Jian is a master of sword art. In honor of Your Majesty, they wish to display their art at this banquet."
The emperor, intrigued by the proposition, granted permission for the two disciples to showcase their talents. The center of the banquet hall was cleared for Fei and Yu Jian to perform.
Fei was up first. She took her bow and arrow and had her eyes blindfolded. One of the outer sect elders of the Frost Peak Sect moved to the opposite corner of the hall and threw a large number of paper pieces into the air.
As the paper pieces scattered in the air, Fei released her arrow. It was imbued with her Qi, and as it flew toward the papers, it penetrated every single piece with astonishing precision. It was as if she was controlling the arrow through her Qi, like a flying sword. The crowd burst into applause at the incredible display of skill.
Next up was Yu Jian. He took center stage with his sword, and as the music began, he performed an exquisite sword dance. His movements were fluid and graceful, demonstrating a mastery of the sword that left the audience in awe. The dance was both mesmerizing and powerful, highlighting Yu Jian's incredible talent.
As the dance concluded, the banquet hall erupted in applause once more. The emperor's gaze shifted toward the Frost Peak Sect's talented disciples, and Elder Huiqing felt a sense of accomplishment. He had successfully drawn the emperor's attention toward his sect.
As the Frost Peak Sect successfully garnered the attention of the emperor and the audience, the elders of other sects and families perked up, realizing that they too needed to showcase their disciples' talents to remain in the emperor's favor.
Elder Jiang of the Heavenly Thunder Sect rose to his feet and introduced his sect's core disciple, Lei, who was talented in thunder arts. He respectfully requested the emperor's permission for Lei to demonstrate his abilities. The emperor, intrigued by the variety of talents on display, nodded and allowed it.
