Chapter 1578: Chapter 1579: Behind the Scenes, There’s More Behind the Scenes
The two were held in Ye Luo’s hand, utterly humiliated, so how could they not want to resist? In fact, when Ye Luo slapped them, they already thought of resisting.
But Ye Luo’s power was terrifying, and not only could they not resist, but they couldn’t even muster their spiritual power. They were directly stunned by Ye Luo’s slaps!
At this moment, they felt as if their entire body’s strength was sealed, without even a hint of ability to resist!
Hearing Ye Luo’s words, though they wanted to retort, they didn’t dare. Ye Luo’s ability to subdue them so easily spoke volumes. At least, there was no way they could be Ye Luo’s match; he could easily take their lives if he wished!
So, even though they were humiliated, they didn’t dare utter a word in defiance. They gritted their teeth tightly, fearful that any word might displease Ye Luo, leading to their demise!
Unfortunately, those around them didn’t notice anything unusual. Though they found it somewhat eerie, they were more outraged that this guy dared to harm people despite such an entourage’s presence?
Not only did this slap those two’s faces, but it was also a slap to everyone’s face there!
So this prompted another round of verbal condemnations.
In these people’s eyes, taking action would harm their status, so they were content with verbal criticism.
It’s a pity, if they knew the words of the person in the secret chamber, they might be scared out of their wits.
"Oh no, I miscalculated. I forgot that guy’s temperament. I told him to give the noble families a shake, and he could wipe out an entire noble clan, slaughtering millions. Little Gui, go out quickly, find a way to resolve this. If that guy is provoked, there might be casualties!"
Yes, the speaker was the Emperor of Great Tang. He was hiding in the shadows, planning to observe Ye Luo’s performance, to see if he fit the role of the Third Prince.
But what he didn’t expect was someone provoking Ye Luo.
The Emperor of Great Tang saw Ye Luo as brutally decisive, always bullying others with no one daring to bully him. So he was startled.
Those gathered here, they were all offspring of the Great Tang Empire’s nobility. If Ye Luo lost his temper, even the Emperor might find it hard to smooth things over.
Little Gui was a close attendant by the Emperor’s side and understood the Emperor well.
However, at present, he frowned slightly, thinking to himself, "The Emperor might truly be reluctant to let go of that boy. After all, his performance is outstanding. This time, the Emperor is clearly favoring that boy! It’s a pity he’s not really a prince of Great Tang..."
Of course, while Little Gui thought this, he didn’t show it but quickly headed outside!
The moment Little Gui stepped out the door, his figure flickered, turning into an afterimage! It turns out Little Gui was secretly a master!
Soon, Little Gui found a supervisor from Yazhuxuan. To resolve the present conflict, the best solution was to divert attention, as everyone here would give the Princess Hall face!
Perhaps because of the Emperor of Great Tang’s swift response, when the supervisor appeared before the crowd, no further conflict had erupted.
"The Princess has arrived, everyone, please follow me!"
Upon hearing the Princess had arrived, of course, these people immediately ignored what was happening here. To them, if Ye Luo offended the Princess, someone else would surely deal with him!
Moreover, to make a move now would ruin their image!
Ye Luo understood his task today was to socialize and not to be distracted by other matters. Besides, Ye Luo already taught the most vile pair a lesson, so his anger was quelled.
Hearing that the Princess had arrived, he naturally released the two.
Ye Luo took the lead moving forward, which was violating etiquette. By rights, the one who walks at the front has the most noble status.
With Ye Luo’s current apparent status, he should only qualify to follow at the back.
But since the supervisor’s aim was to mediate conflicts and divert attention, he naturally didn’t say much.
Others had their own calculations, thinking that acting now would seem discourteous, or deciding that it was better not to provoke Ye Luo.
In summary, though Ye Luo was at the forefront, making everyone indignant, no one dared to rebuke him!
Thus, Ye Luo led a large group of noble offspring, following the supervisor towards a bamboo building!
This scene was observed by the Emperor of Great Tang, admiration clear in his eyes, but his face showed concern.
In fact, Li Muxin had already arrived; she had just stayed with Chen Siqi.
Now, a servant found her, informing her that the supervisor was leading everyone to the banquet hall, but Li Muxin didn’t care much.
This banquet, ostensibly organized by Li Muxin, was actually secretly orchestrated for another reason, matchmaking!
Li Muxin’s marriage was a matter deeply concerning to the Emperor and Empress. Whenever there was an opportunity, the Empress arranged various situations to find a suitable Prince Consort for Li Muxin.
However, all previous attempts had failed!
This time, upon hearing that Li Muxin was holding a banquet, the Empress didn’t care if Li Muxin agreed or not and directly intervened, arranging a contest to select talents, hoping to win Li Muxin’s favor.
So, before the banquet officially began, there was an extra performance.
Though Li Muxin disapproved of the Empress’s actions, since she was her mother, she couldn’t openly refuse. She decided to wait until her mother was done playing before appearing. Meanwhile, she stayed with Chen Siqi without leaving.
Quickly, the group arrived at the banquet hall, which now contained many additional items.
"Everyone, the Princess has decreed that there will be three test questions. Whoever can earn the top honor will have the opportunity to dine with the Princess tonight!"
With those words, everyone was inexplicably excited. Dining with the Princess would be an advantageous position!
But they didn’t notice that the supervisor said "opportunity"!
Because the Empress also understood that the Princess wouldn’t fully comply with her arrangements; whether they dined together depended on her mood, but as her mother, the Empress hoped to make arrangements.
Who would have thought that the Princess’s ordinary banquet would not only attract the Emperor but also the Empress to personally attend!
The most crucial point was that the Emperor and Empress were both hiding in the shadows, completely unaware of each other’s presence!
