Mei Tai Banquet

Gu Xinyue also vaguely guessed something. She took the royal invitation from Mark's hand, opened it and took a look, with a slight frown on her pretty face.

Sure enough, it was an invitation from Princess Ji Rouyu to the Mei Tai Banquet, inviting Ye Fan to attend the banquet with her. The banquet also invited celebrities from the entire Zixuan Dynasty, including the most outstanding talents among the young generation.

Since ancient times, there is no good banquet, and all kinds of tricks will always be done. Especially for such a top-notch banquet of the Zixuan Dynasty, where the personnel have complicated backgrounds, intrigues and all kinds of overt and covert fights are inevitable.

For her, this banquet was not a good one.

She still remembered that during the Battle of Void Mountain half a year ago, Emperor Zixuan once wanted to marry Princess Ji Rouyu to Ye Fan. The princess even suggested that she be the eldest wife and she be the younger wife.

This made her almost explode with anger. If the princess is nice to talk to, she may not deliberately try to embarrass and exclude him. But the princess came with bad intentions, and she was not someone to be bullied.

As a result, he was rejected by Ye Fan, which made Emperor Zixuan quite embarrassed.

Later, although Emperor Zixuan and the princess did not mention this matter again, they were afraid that this matter would not be completely over so easily.

But if you avoid this one, there will be the next one. It is impossible to avoid it all the time.

Sooner or later, she would have to meet Princess Ji Rouyu.

Gu Xinyue thought of this, her ethereal and beautiful face showed a faint smile, and said to Ye Fan: "Since it is the princess's plum blossom banquet invitation, then we have no choice but to go! After staying in the villa for so long, go to the princess's plum garden Enjoy the view!"

"That's good! This banquet has gathered the top figures of the young generation of the Zixuan Dynasty. It's just right to get to know them all at once, so as not to have to meet them separately."

Ye Fan said lightly.

After half a year of silent cultivation at Beast Emperor Pavilion Villa, it was time to go out.

…

Early next morning.

The cold wind is strong, and the streets in Zixuan Imperial City are a bit cold and quiet. There are only a few city residents who got up early to sell breakfast or clear the snow on the streets. There were also some martial arts cultivators and business travelers who looked in a hurry and got up early to make the long journey.

A luxurious beast ride from the Beast Emperor Pavilion drove into the Zixuan Imperial City. After the palace guard inspected the invitation, he let the ride enter the Forbidden Palace.

The Zixuan Palace is huge, and the palaces and gardens are countless.

Under the guidance of several maids, the car drove to Princess Ji Rouyu's palace.

Princess Ji Rouyu has not yet married and has been living in the palace. The palace she lives in is called Rouyu Palace. Because the princess loves plum blossoms, she planted many plum blossoms of various colors in the palace. The nine-color plum blossoms are the most famous, and it is also called the Plum Palace.

Princess Ji Rouyu's Mei Tai Banquet is extremely famous throughout the Zixuan Dynasty. It is the most famous banquet among the countless young martial arts cultivators of the Zixuan Dynasty.

Every year, except for a few disciples of the Martial Saint Family who are frequent visitors, only the most outstanding young people from the major forces have the honor to be invited to participate.

Obtaining an invitation to the Mei Tai Banquet is almost equivalent to getting a ticket to enter the circle of the top young generation of the Zixuan Dynasty.

At this time, one to two hundred young heroes of King Wu had gathered in Mei Palace.

The martial arts cultivators gathered in twos and threes, walking in the snow and admiring the plum blossoms, chatting about interesting things that happened in various parts of the dynasty, exchanging martial arts skills, or commenting on the characters and items of each party.

For example, the "Three Beauties of the Dynasty" of the Zixuan Dynasty, the "Ten Sons of the State Religion", the "Legendary Martial King Squad", etc. are all hot topics for discussion and comment.

Among the young people who participated in the Meitai Banquet, more than ten of them were children of the royal family, representing the Ji family's royal family.

Among the Zixuan National Religion, Wang Luodan, a direct disciple of the Pope, and the ten major disciples of the National Religion headed by You Chujie, a total of eleven people were invited to participate. They are almost regular candidates for the Mei Tai Banquet, and they participate every year on behalf of the Zixuan National Religion.

Each of the eighty-eight martial sage families in the Zixuan Dynasty had a direct disciple invited to participate. The Martial Saint family has many direct descendants. The direct descendants invited each time are different, and only a few are regular guests.

Chai Lanyi, the legitimate daughter of Chai Mansion, Jiang Zixuan of Jiang Mansion, etc., have attended the Mei Tai Banquet for three or four consecutive years.

There are also young ministers of the imperial court, not many in number.

In addition to these representatives of major forces who must be invited, there are also some young martial kings who have relatively "ordinary" backgrounds, but are extremely outstanding and have become famous in recent years.

This is ordinary, of course compared to wealthy families such as the Zixuan Royal Family and the Martial Saint Family.

The five-man legendary team composed of Ye Fan and Gu Xinyue of the Beast Emperor Pavilion, as well as the three heroes of the Cao Mansion, Cao Hong, Xing Chou, and Tang Dapeng, climbed to the top of the Shenwu Star Tower. They are undoubtedly the most famous civilian martial kings this year and have all been invited. join.

The young martial arts cultivators were chatting in small groups in Mei Palace.

Most of the people, including the host Princess Ji Rouyu, had already arrived. Only Ye Fan and Gu Xinyue from the Beast Emperor Pavilion have not yet appeared in the Plum Palace.

Different small circles naturally separate into groups.

Cao Hong, Xing Chou, and Tang Dapeng were very excited when they received the invitation to the Mei Tai Banquet. They rushed to the appointment early in the morning. However, the three of them could not strike up a conversation with other people and could not integrate into other people's small circles. Except for the occasional Someone exchanged a few words with them, but the three of them could only chat by themselves, which was a bit awkward.

The real thoughts of most people in Mei Palace are not on the topic.

In previous years, this Mei Tai Banquet would have been the perfect place for the most outstanding young generation of the Zixuan Dynasty to compete for prowess.

The young martial arts cultivators had already begun to scheming and forming cliques the moment they entered the Plum Palace, intending to compete and make themselves the most prominent and eye-catching person at the banquet.

The annual Mei Tai Banquet is not only a banquet for exchanges between young martial arts practitioners in the top circles, but also a banquet for mutual competition.

But this year is different.

This year, the Zixuan Dynasty gave birth to a sensational legendary King of Martial Arts. He was so dazzling when he climbed to the top of the Shenwu Star Tower. The Battle of Void Mountain proved his strength in public, and he became the new idol of countless people in the Zixuan Dynasty. All the other outstanding figures of the younger generation have been overshadowed.

Just like a bright moon and a group of fireflies, there is no comparison at all. No matter how many fireflies there are, they can't compete with the bright moon's light.

Everyone knows that there is only one real protagonist in this Mei Tai Banquet.

Even the host, Princess Ji Rouyu, pales in comparison to this legendary King of Martial Arts.

If this year's Mei Tai Banquet does not have the attendance of the legendary King Wu, I am afraid that even the famous Mei Tai Banquet will lose a lot of weight and become unworthy of its name.

This almost made all the outstanding young people who participated in the Mei Tai Banquet feel a thorn in their hearts, which was very heartbreaking.

You know, in previous years, the scenery was the same, and they were the ones who matched the glory. Even if they are not the most glorious one, at least they are one of them, not as gloomy as they are now.

The atmosphere of this banquet was naturally a bit dull compared to previous years. There was only talk and laughter, and there was no smell of fire or smoke.

The one or two hundred young people attending the Mei Tai Banquet had no intention of competing with each other. They are all thinking, what will they do after the legendary King Wu arrives? !

Compete with the legendary King of Martial Arts at the Mei Tai Banquet? !

Even fifteen Royal Guardsmen couldn't do it, and the chances of them being able to do it were slim to none.

Indisputable?

Could it be that at this year's banquet, they were willing to be an unknown green leaf to set off the dazzling red flower of Ye Fan.

Many young heroes are definitely not so willing.

"Senior Brother You, I have a question for you!"

"Second Junior Brother, if you have something to say, it doesn't hurt to say it!"

"I have a very powerful opponent, but he is too powerful and too popular. I am no match for him and I dare not offend him. I don't know how I should respond? Should I surrender and obey, or... lie dormant and wait for the opportunity?"

Ran Dechang, who ranked second among the disciples of the state religion, asked You Chujie for advice.

The question was very vague, but everyone knew who he was referring to, but it was inconvenient to say it clearly.

In Mei Palace, when all the young people heard the conversation between the national disciple and You Chujie, they couldn't help but prick up their ears, for fear of making mistakes.

"There is an old saying that 'the higher you climb, the harder you fall'! When you encounter a strong opponent, you don't necessarily need to fight or surrender, you can just go and give him a hand! It's cold at high places, and if he can't stand it, he falls down Come down! This fall, it's easy to go up but troublesome to come down."

You Chujie thought for a while and said calmly.

The remaining nine young martial kings of Zixuan Guojiao looked at each other with surprise, and they couldn't help but have a tacit understanding and knew what to do.

Since he is the legendary Martial King, it is not convenient for them to confront him head-on. The higher you hold him up, the harder he will fall once he falls!

The conversation between You Chujie and others was not kept secret and was originally told to the young people in the palace.

In the Mei Palace, all the young people are outstanding figures. With just a little hint, they will naturally understand what You Chujie means.

Many people were nodding secretly in their hearts, applauding openly and belittling him secretly. This hand might be able to smash the legendary Martial King to the ground and push away the light from Ye Fan.

Originally, all the young people had different thoughts, and they didn't think of how to deal with it for a while.

But You Chujie, the great disciple of Zixuan Guojiao, expressed his thoughts, and soon all the young people had an almost unified idea of action.

…

"Beast Emperor Pavilion, Ye Fan and Gu Xinyue are here!"

Not long after, several palace maids led a beast-riding vehicle from the Beast Emperor Pavilion and arrived outside the gate of Mei Palace.

Ye Fan and Gu Xinyue came out of the car in the Beast King Pavilion together. Ye Fan was wearing a white gown with a black jade at his waist. Gu Xinyue walked into the Plum Palace wearing a snow-colored mink fur coat.

In an instant, almost all the eyes of the young people in the palace fell on Ye Fan and Gu Xinyue.

That's it, Ye Fan. He is the legendary Martial King. Although he looks indifferent and his clothes are simple, he has a power that is not angry and powerful. It is enough to make the Martial King of the same level feel huge pressure within ten feet. No one dares to compare with him. .

But Gu Xinyue is not well-known and few people know her. Under her purple jade phoenix mask, with picturesque black eyebrows, her stunning temperament and fairy figure made many people's hearts flutter and were greatly shocked.

The various and complex looks from all the outstanding young men ranged from admiration to jealousy to envy.

"Brother Ye and Sister Xinyue, you two have finally arrived! I was so worried that I thought they wouldn't come!"

Ji Rouyu's eyes lit up in the palace, and she couldn't help but stand up with a smile on her face, and in an extremely rare move, she took the initiative to greet her.
