God Realm.
Endless Sea Region, Sea God Hall.
As the Chief God of the God Realm, the Sea God possessed a Divine Artifact that only a God King could wield: the Sea God Trident. Therefore, even among the Chief Gods, the Sea God's strength was among the best.
In the entire God Realm, the Divinities below the God King who possessed a Divine Artifact were few and far between, and the Sea God was one of them.
It was precisely because of the Sea God's powerful strength that his status in the God Realm was very high.
In the Divine Hall, the Sea God, who had been sitting in the main seat with his eyes closed to rest, instantly opened his eyes after receiving the message transmitted by his Divine Thought.
"I've found a Young Miss who can withstand the Han Hai Qian Kun Power."
A look of joy appeared on the Sea God's face, making him seem very happy.
One must know that his requirements for a Legacy holder were very high; only those who could withstand the Han Hai Qian Kun Power could trigger his Divine Thought. And for so many years, his Divine Thought had been triggered for the first time.
But very quickly, the Sea God's expression darkened.
Because from the message transmitted by his Divine Thought, he received a rather unfavorable piece of news: there was actually the Qi of another Divinity on that Young Miss.
Moreover, his Divine Thought couldn't even discern which Divinity's Qi it was.
"Has the Young Miss who can withstand the Han Hai Qian Kun Power already become the Legacy holder of another Divinity?"
The Sea God reached out and stroked his chin, a hint of contemplation appearing in his eyes.
"The presence of another Divinity's Qi doesn't necessarily mean she has become a Divinity's Legacy holder. Perhaps it only attracted the attention of a certain Divinity."
"However, if she truly became the Legacy holder of another Divinity, openly snatching a Legacy holder doesn't seem to conform to the rules of the God Realm."
"Should I ask the Law Enforcement Officer, Asura God?"
The Sea God muttered to himself, but a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.
The Sea God stood up and walked directly out of the Divine Hall, heading towards the Asura God's Divine Hall.
...
Meanwhile, on the continent.
Ye Xi, Tian Yue, and Ling Yuan walked out of the hotel. In front of them, a carriage with the Heaven Dou Royal Family's emblem was parked.
Xue Qinghe stepped out of the carriage and walked directly to Ye Xi.
"A banquet has been prepared in the Tiandou Royal Palace. My Imperial Father asked me to pick you up and bring you to the Tiandou Royal Palace."
Xue Qinghe's voice was very gentle, giving people a feeling of being bathed in a spring breeze.
"Then we'll trouble Xue Qinghe," Ye Xi said with a smile and a nod, then followed Xue Qinghe into the carriage.
After the two entered, Tian Yue and Ling Yuan boarded the carriage.
Once everyone was in the carriage, it began to move towards the Tiandou Royal Palace.
The carriage's speed was not fast; in fact, it was a bit slow, which was, of course, a deliberate arrangement by Xue Qinghe.
"The delicacies at the banquet are rare and delicious. I heard Young Miss Ye Xi say that Young Miss Tian Yue has a large appetite, so you can eat more later."
Xue Qinghe looked at Tian Yue, a faint smile on his refined face.
Hearing this, Tian Yue looked at Xue Qinghe blankly, then at Ye Xi beside her, confusion appearing in her eyes.
Although she knew her appetite was a bit large, she felt that this matter didn't need special emphasis.
"Young Miss Tian Yue, this means that you should eat as much as possible and talk less later."
"Leave the talking to Second Miss."
Ling Yuan's lips moved slightly, but no sound was emitted; instead, she used sound transmission to tell Tian Yue.
Hearing this, Tian Yue nodded seriously, indicating that she knew what to do.
Soon, the carriage stopped in front of the Tiandou Royal Palace. Under Xue Qinghe's lead, everyone proceeded to the Royal Palace's main hall.
Upon entering the main hall, the first thing that caught their eyes was Emperor Xue Ye on the main seat, followed by four tables laid out below, which were filled with various delicacies.
"Greetings, Imperial Father."
Xue Qinghe took two steps forward and bowed.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
Ye Xi looked at Emperor Xue Ye above, bowed slightly, her voice neither humble nor arrogant.
Ling Yuan and Tian Yue also bowed to Emperor Xue Ye as a sign of respect.
"No need for formalities."
"This banquet is mainly to apologize to you on behalf of my disappointing son, Xue Beng."
Emperor Xue Ye stood up, gestured for Ye Xi and the others to take their seats, then began to size up Ye Xi and the others with his gaze.
"Your Majesty is too kind."
"What we did at the time was also a bit inappropriate. We hope Your Majesty will not blame us."
After taking her seat, Ye Xi looked at Emperor Xue Ye. Although she was being polite, her tone was full of composure and calm.
"It's fine, your actions were entirely reasonable. It's good to teach Xue Beng a lesson, otherwise, he would become lawless."
Emperor Xue Ye waved his hand, appearing completely unconcerned, but then his tone shifted, saying, "I see that you have extraordinary bearing. You must be Disciples of a great Sect, right?"
"May I ask who your Elders are?"
While asking, Emperor Xue Ye paid special attention to the changes in Ye Xi and Tian Yue's expressions.
But Tian Yue just quietly looked at the delicacies in front of her, showing no intention of speaking.
"We are from a reclusive Sect. The Elders in our Sect went into seclusion many years ago."
As Ye Xi spoke, her sapphire blue eyes surveyed the layout of the main hall.
"Went into seclusion many years ago?"
"That's truly a pity. I originally wanted to pay a visit."
"Then, who is this Elder Ling Yuan?"
Emperor Xue Ye looked at Ling Yuan and asked softly.
"She is an Elder from our Sect."
"The Elders in our Sect were afraid that we wouldn't be safe while adventuring, so they arranged for Ling Yuan to protect us."
Ye Xi answered very straightforwardly.
"I see."
Emperor Xue Ye nodded, then gently waved his hand, and palace maids came forward carrying drinks.
"You are still young, so I had someone prepare some delicious fruit juice for you. I don't know if you'll like it."
"Here, you don't need to be polite, just eat your fill."
Emperor Xue Ye said, then was the first to pick up his bowl and chopsticks and began to taste the food.
"Your Majesty, then we won't be polite."
Ye Xi picked up her chopsticks and began to taste the food unhurriedly.
"No need to be polite."
"From now on, if you need any help in Heaven Dou City, you can always go to the Crown Prince."
Emperor Xue Ye pointed to Xue Qinghe below, a faint smile on his face.
"Yes, Xue Qinghe already told me about this this morning."
"If I truly need help, I will naturally go to Xue Qinghe."
Ye Xi looked at Xue Qinghe, a smile on her delicate face.
Listening to Ye Xi's words, Emperor Xue Ye cast an admiring glance at Xue Qinghe.
He had just been thinking about how to appropriately get closer to Ye Xi and the others, and it turned out his son had already handled it this morning.
Look how intimately she called him Xue Qinghe every time.
