Chapter 91 - 91 91 Talent Night Banquet
91: Chapter 91 Talent Night Banquet 91: Chapter 91 Talent Night Banquet The next day.
Lin Yi, accompanied by Bai Xiu and holding an invitation, went to Yun Country Palace to attend the much-anticipated Talent Night Banquet.
The Talent Night Banquet, aside from a few invited dignitaries, was largely attended by the young elites of Yun Country.
Although the banquet was themed around entertaining Yun Country’s young generation, it also had another purpose.
That was to allow the dignitaries of Yun Country’s Imperial Capital to select husbands for their daughters.
Moreover, it was rumored that the most outstanding individual at the Talent Night Banquet would be granted a marriage by Emperor Yun Yi himself to marry his sister, Princess Yunxi, and become the Prince Consort of Yun Country.
Princess Yunxi, being the Emperor’s own sister, was not only extremely beautiful but also held a special status.
Winning her hand in marriage would not just turn someone into a winner in life, but it would also secure immense benefits for his family’s faction.
This caused many uninformed young geniuses who attended the Talent Night Banquet to be incredibly eager.
However, when Lin Yi learned of this news, he couldn’t help but frown deeply.
He turned his head toward Bai Xiu and said, “What if I accidentally become the protagonist of this Talent Night Banquet, can I not marry the princess?”
Bai Xiu couldn’t help but roll his eyes at Lin Yi, “What, is being Yun Country’s Prince Consort not appealing to you?”
“If you became the Prince Consort, my father wouldn’t even need to come forward, the Yun Country army would be at your disposal!”
Lin Yi shook his head, “It’s not about whether it’s appealing or not, I just don’t know this Princess Yunxi at all.”
“What does that matter, you’ll know her after one night’s sleep, won’t you?”
Bai Xiu revealed a playboy’s true nature, then watched Lin Yi with a grin, “To be honest, are you still thinking about Senior Sister Luo?”
Lin Yi did not deny it, “If I had a choice, of course, I would choose Senior Sister Luo!”
Bai Xiu immediately looked at him with a you-should-know-better expression, “Come on, children make choices, adults take everything!”
“Why not just marry one more?”
Lin Yi: “…”
“I’m willing to call you the ancestor of playboys!”
During their conversation, they had already entered the depths of the palace and arrived at the garden where the Talent Night Banquet was being held.
After presenting their invitations, they smoothly entered the banquet hall.
At that time, the hall was bustling with activity, with most of the young elites from across Yun Country already seated.
“It’s said that the main character of tonight’s Talent Night Banquet will be chosen by His Majesty to marry Princess Yunxi and become the Prince Consort.
This has attracted all the young talents of Yun Country.”
“There are many people, but unless there’s a surprise, you and I are just the background.
The real hopefuls are probably only those three.”
“I know who you’re talking about, none other than the top three young talents of our Yun Country — Nie Hanlou, Wei Chi, and Major General Cao Kun’s son, Cao Wushuang.”
“…”
In the hall, various young talents gathered, all vigorously discussing who would become tonight’s “main character.”
Undoubtedly, the top three young talents were well-known throughout Yun Country, familiar to everyone.
“While these three are strong, there’s one person who may not be weaker than them.”
Just then, a different voice suddenly emerged, and a figure stepped out from the crowd — it was Baili Feng, who had previously lost to Lin Yi.
“Who?”
A trace of doubt appeared in the eyes of many young elites.
In Yun Country, there was someone capable of rivaling the three men they knew of?
How did they not know?
“That person is called Lin Xiu!”
Baili Feng said indifferently,
“Lin Xiu?”
“Who is Lin Xiu?”
Everyone was confused, having never heard the name.
“Never even heard the name, is this person really a master?”
“Baili Feng, could this person be one of your relatives?
Are you trying to promote him here to make him famous?”
Many people looked at Baili Feng with mocking expressions.
A bunch of frogs in a well!
Baili Feng shook his head, unwilling to engage in a verbal dispute with these people.
Actions speak louder than words; once they witnessed Lin Xiu’s strength, they would know whether he was telling the truth or not.
At that time, on a nearby pavilion,
the Emperor of Yun Country, Yun Yi, Princess Yunxi, the Great General Cao Kun, and other high-ranking officials of Yun Country were all in the pavilion.
From their vantage point, they could overlook the entire palace gardens and had a clear view of the Talent Night Banquet.
Emperor Yun Yi, a young man in his twenties, looked very delicate and lacked any imperial aura.
At that moment, he turned his head towards Cao Kun and smiled, “Great General, who do you think will be the victor tonight at the Talent Night Banquet and marry my sister?”
Cao Kun responded indifferently, “Nie Hanlou and Wei Chi are both young and have already reached the Grandmaster Realm.
They have extraordinary talents and a good chance of taking the lead.”
However, Marquis Zhenbei, upon hearing this, smiled and said, “Nie Hanlou and Wei Chi indeed have high talents, but compared to your son, Cao Wushuang, they might still be slightly inferior.”
“It is said that Cao Wushuang already possesses the strength to be ranked in the Hidden Dragon List, just waiting for the renewal of the list before he can officially join and awe all nations.”
Unexpectedly, Cao Kun shook his head and said, “That’s just a rumor, Marquis, do not take it seriously.”
“With only that modest ability, my son would not stand out; today, I only brought him here to broaden his worldview and witness the elegance of Yun Country’s younger generation.”
“That sly old dog,”
Marquis Zhenbei cursed inwardly.
This old man was too cunning and deep, making it impossible to extract any useful information from him.
Emperor Yun Yi had already secretly issued a death command regarding the organization of the Talent Night Banquet.
No matter what, they had to defeat Cao Wushuang!
If they could defeat Cao Wushuang and capture the young man, they could use Cao Wushuang’s life to blackmail Cao Kun, forcing him to be wary and seize the initiative in this coup d’état.
However, currently facing the profoundly scheming Cao Kun, Marquis Zhenbei was not entirely confident that the brilliant youth of Yun Country participating in the banquet could defeat Cao Wushuang.
Princess Yunxi stood nearby, her stunningly beautiful face tinged with a hint of sadness.
Although she was unaware of the coup plan for tonight,
she was aware of the Great General Cao Kun’s total control and betrayal of the Emperor.
This old man, who appeared to be a pillar of Yun Country, was actually a scourge to the nation!
He might rebel any day!
Her Prince Consort could be Nie Hanlou or Wei Chi, anyone from the banquet, even just anyone.
But it absolutely could not be Cao Wushuang.
