Chapter 101: The Great Figures of Various Countries!
The Canglan Emperor’s birthday arrived as scheduled.
The location was chosen on the sea outside the Canglan Imperial Palace.
A huge sea-view viewing platform stood on the sea, the size of which was no less than a giant stadium.
The Canglan Emperor, the Canglan Empress, and other core members of the Canglan imperial family sat in the center and were the first to arrive.
Su Lingxi and Luo Chuxue arrived in the same carriage and came to their designated seats.
Originally, as a representative of the Snowfall Sect, she was not allowed to be so close to the Canglan imperial family, but the Canglan Emperor had given the order to allow her to sit with the princess.
Ever since the drinking incident, Su Lingxi had not seen the Canglan Emperor for two or three days, and it was not until the beginning of the birthday that she saw him.
At the same time, she also saw the Canglan Empress, who had not shown her face.
The Canglan Empress had been busy with the preparations for the birthday, and even Luo Chuxue and Luo Yunxuan had not seen her much on weekdays.
The Canglan Empress was Luo Yunxuan and Luo Chuxue’s biological mother. The passage of time had not left any traces on her face.
She was a beauty when she was young.
Luo Chuxue and Luo Yunxuan stepped forward to pay their respects to the Canglan Empress, respectfully calling her “Mother Empress.”
The Canglan Empress’s kind face smiled. “Today is your Father Emperor’s birthday. Many important people will be present. You two must remember not to be rude.”
“Yes.”
The Canglan Empress’s gaze rested on Su Lingxi behind Luo Chuxue. “This must be the new personal disciple of the Snowfall Sect Master. Her aptitude is indeed not bad, and her looks are one in a million.”
“Thank you, Empress, for your praise,” Su Lingxi replied.
“The Emperor loves talent and has placed your seat next to Chuxue’s. It can be seen how much he values you. In a while, there will be great figures from other countries present. With the Canglan imperial family here, you don’t have to be nervous.”
As soon as the Empress finished speaking, the Canglan Emperor burst out laughing.
“Su Lingxi, after my birthday banquet is over, you must stay for a few days. There are many beautiful sceneries around this Canglan Imperial Capital that you probably haven’t had time to see.”
“At that time, let Luo Yunxuan take you with him.”
Su Lingxi: “…”
Why is he still thinking about this?
The Canglan Emperor’s gaze suddenly lingered between Luo Chuxue and Su Lingxi for a few seconds.
“Su Lingxi, you and Chuxue have both broken through to the mid-stage and peak of the Nascent Soul realm in just a few days. Could it be that you were hiding your strength before?”
As the Canglan Emperor spoke, he was greatly shocked in his heart.
He hadn’t seen them for just a few days, but their cultivation had risen like a train.
Luo Chuxue took out a prepared excuse. “Reporting to Father Emperor, your son and daughter and Su Lingxi have both become disciples of the Sect Master, Jiang Xianyue.”
“The Sect Master has always warned us not to be impetuous in our cultivation. No matter how fast our cultivation speed is, we must lay a good foundation.”
“So the two of us had our cultivation suppressed by the Sect Master before we came to the Canglan Imperial Capital. The purpose was to lay a good foundation.”
Luo Chuxue’s words directly dispelled the Canglan Emperor’s doubts, and Luo Yunxuan on the side had already known everything about the Exquisite Body yesterday.
He was both sad and happy. His sister was finally with Su Lingxi as she wished.
So he also had to help hide the matter of the Exquisite Body.
Hearing Luo Chuxue’s explanation, the Canglan Emperor’s brief doubts were completely dispelled.
“Hehe, Jiang Xianyue is quite accomplished in the way of cultivation. It’s for your own good that she thought of this.”
At this time, Su Lingxi also echoed, “Your Majesty, now that your birthday banquet has begun, Chuxue and I no longer need to suppress our cultivation.”
“The purpose is to show the strength of our younger generation in front of the other countries. So… I have slightly concealed my cultivation before. Please forgive me, Your Majesty.”
Seeing that Su Lingxi was also following Luo Chuxue’s words, how could the Canglan Emperor bear to blame her?
The Canglan Emperor would never have thought that Su Lingxi had already taken away his precious daughter.
He would not simply associate the surge in her cultivation with her having the Exquisite Body.
After all, in his perspective, Su Lingxi was the future Crown Princess.
In the future, he would rely on her to continue the imperial bloodline, and the matter of the Snowfall Sect’s allegiance to the imperial family was also related to Su Lingxi.
Su Lingxi was now a hot commodity in the Canglan Emperor’s eyes.
“It’s fine. You two are thoughtful.”
“Take a seat!”
The Canglan Emperor signaled everyone to take their seats.
Seeing that the Canglan Emperor did not pursue the matter, Su Lingxi and Luo Chuxue also breathed a sigh of relief. However, the improvement in their cultivation was also a good thing for the Canglan Nation.
Just as Su Lingxi had said, it was to show the strength of the younger generation.
And the Canglan Emperor had so many things to do every day. He was too lazy to worry about whose cultivation was high or low.
The time was almost here, and the great figures of various countries also began to arrive. They all presented their gifts at the door.
Then they strode in.
The head eunuch outside the venue announced the identities of these people in a loud voice.
“The Twelfth Elder of the Vermilion Bird Divine Sect has arrived! Gift: a seventh-grade pill, the Heaven-Burning Phoenix Feather Pill!”
With that, an old man in a fiery red long robe took his seat. His aura was calm, and the pattern embroidered on his long robe was particularly eye-catching. This was the Vermilion Bird Divine Spirit that they were proud of.
As soon as the elder of the Vermilion Bird Divine Sect arrived, the venue immediately filled with discussion.
“As expected of an elder of the Vermilion Bird Divine Sect. A simple congratulatory gift is a seventh-grade pill.”
“That is the number one great nation in the Mortal Realm. Compared to them, the Canglan Nation is undoubtedly much poorer.”
Su Lingxi also couldn’t help but take a few more glances at the Vermilion Bird Elder. This was her first time seeing someone from the Vermilion Bird Divine Nation.
Feng Chuiying’s background and the Scorching Sun Heavenly Poison on her body were all inseparable from this Vermilion Bird Divine Nation.
Seeing Su Lingxi’s curiosity, Luo Chuxue also patiently explained.
“The Vermilion Bird Divine Sect belongs to the Vermilion Bird imperial family and is of the same lineage. They are the two groups of people with the strongest bloodline power in the Vermilion Bird Divine Nation.”
“This Twelfth Elder basically comes to Father Emperor’s birthday every time.”
Su Lingxi nodded and turned to look at the others.
The head eunuch was still constantly announcing the identities of the guests.
“The Fifth Elder of the Purple Cloud Divine Mansion has arrived! Congratulatory gift: three hundred high-grade spiritual crystals!”
“The envoy of the Rock Nation has arrived. Congratulatory gift: one hundred and fifty high-grade spiritual crystals!”
The envoy of the Rock Nation and the Fifth Elder of the Purple Cloud Divine Mansion entered at almost the same time, but the Fifth Elder of the Divine Mansion glanced at the Rock envoy with some disdain.
“Tsk, tsk, what a small and resource-poor country. To come to a banquet with so few spiritual crystals!”
“You…” The Rock envoy’s eyes were wide with anger, but in the end, he did not say a few dirty words, perhaps for fear of losing his last bit of dignity.
Everyone present was not surprised by this. Everyone knew that the Purple Cloud Nation and the Rock Nation were in constant conflict.
And the Rock Nation was no match for the Purple Cloud Nation. It was said that it had already lost one-third of its territory.
The other countries could not interfere either and could only let them solve their own problems.
The Rock envoy flicked his sleeve and sat opposite the Fifth Elder of the Divine Mansion, but his every move no longer had the confidence of representing a great nation.
The powerlessness of a weak country was concretized at this moment.
Su Lingxi’s main purpose was to get to know these so-called great figures. At the same time, she also paid attention to the situation of the other four countries besides the Canglan Nation.
It was also to make some plans for leaving the Canglan Nation in the future.
Su Lingxi counted the representatives of the various countries and found that the number was not right.
It seemed that one was missing.
“Eh? What about the Heaven Wind Nation?”
The Heaven Wind Nation was also a country created by Su Lingxi, but its presence was relatively low.
She recalled that the Heaven Wind Nation should be a country that mainly cultivated the wind attribute. But why did it not appear at the banquet?
Luo Chuxue shook her head. “The Heaven Wind Nation seems to have already disintegrated. Because the country does not have the strength to unify the whole territory, and there are many different factions, so they can no longer be called a country.”
“It should be called an alliance!”
Su Lingxi was surprised. She hadn’t expected this world to have changed so much.
Now it seemed that the Canglan Nation was better. Not only was there no war, but the people were also well-fed and well-clothed.
