End of Banquet

The empress's mother finally got up, with a red bump on her head from crashing into the wall and a red cheek from the slap. When she stood up, she couldn't contain her anger and shame. She yelled with all her strength, "Royal guards! Kill that guy! I want his head right now!"

The royal guards, who could move now, immediately jumped into action. But before they could move towards Han Cai, they were stopped by a thundering voice, "STOP!" The voice belonged to none other than the royal patriarch. The guards immediately halted their movements.

The royal patriarch turned to Han Cai and spoke, "Young friend, it is our fault that we insulted such a young and talented cultivator and his master. I apologize on behalf of my wife."
