""Greetings, Royal Father""

The Emperor, Dai Lengjing, was frowning. But his frown was gone as fast as it came, quickly replaced by his dignified expression.

"You two may raise!"

Originally, both of his sons were supposed to hide their identity until their battle of inheritance end. But alas they exposed themselves in front of many peoples here, the news bound to spread far and wide. Their wellbeing may be exposed to danger, and it was likely they would be subjected to assassinations' target by hostile parties.

'Since they already exposed, might as well do it in a high profile.'

...

"Ah, Master!"

Inside the Banquet Hall, a pretty platinum-blonde haired woman gasped seeing a face that familiar to her. The pretty lady was Asya, she was wearing an ice-blue colored gown embroidered with high-quality silk from the lotus-worm spirit beast and woven by a top-class tailor.

Qian Renxue that was silent in the corner, hiding from various nobles trying to win her favor, immediately turned her head with a speed that even will make saint ranked spirit master flinched.

"Which one?"

Asya then raised her hand and happily pointed at Dai Mubai, then she spoke with a proud tone.

"That one, the short golden-haired one. Yes, the one who wears a white suit with black-colored tiger pattern sleeves. He's handsome, right?"

Renxue squinted her eyes, she decided to observe her sister's master first.

...

"While you're at it, show me how much your cultivation has progressed."

""Yes, Royal Father!""

Both of them activated their martial spirit and summoned their spirit rings. Of course, Mubai tunes his spirit power down so that the peoples present doesn't get oppressed, and he masked the color of his spirit rings so it looks like the norm. He also hides his external spirit bone and some of the features that his martial spirit produces.

Immediately, eight spirit rings floated in the air, each of them owns four of the spirit rings. Each of them owns two yellow spirit rings and two black spirit rings.

The things that followed after was all of the peoples present gasped, their eyes bulged filled with disbelief.

"Oh lord, Spirit Ancestor! Both of them are Spirit Ancestors!"

"Are my eyes deceiving me?"

"God bless the Starfall Empire, the Princes are all genius."

"Our Empire is destined to flourish, All hail the Starfall Empire!"

Immediately, most of the peoples present became excited. They were all happy that their princes' talent in cultivating were all top-notch, of course not everyone was happy, despite his satisfaction getting praised as a genius, he couldn't help but feel jealous that his little brother was as strong as him. And that unhappiness was getting stronger when someone pointed his sore point.

"Wait, isn't His Highness the Second Prince is several years younger than the First Prince?"

"You're right! Does that mean..."

"In spite of their age difference, The Second Prince is as strong as the First Prince."

The Emperor nodded his head, a jovial smile bloomed on his face. He raised his hand and told both of them to cease their action. Both of them retracted their spirit rings and deactivated their martial spirit.

'That's my sons, alright.' That thought was passed inside the Emperor's mind, inside he was joyful, but he keeps maintain a dignified appearance outside.

"Both of you did well, keep working hard. Don't let this little achievement get into your head."

""Yes, Royal Father!""

"You're excused to leave my presence. Enjoy the banquet tonight!"

Both of Dai Mubai and Dai Weisi bowed and turned their bodies, the difference was Mubai went to the crowd while Weisi went out of the Banquet Hall. That night, Mubai was bombarded with countless questions, flatteries, and invitations to visit various places by an unknown number of peoples.

'It's an unfortunate thing Qing'er cannot leave the temple yet...'

His fiance, Zhu Zhuqing's absence was Mubai regret. He thought that the banquet would be more enjoyable with her presence accompanying him. But that thought didn't linger for long though, a top-class beauty approached him last night and asked him for a dance. Despite their age difference, Mubai's and that woman's height were the same.

'She told me her name was Renxue, I wonder who she was? I'll ask Ah Si later.'

...

"He's a good man indeed, I'll try to talk it out with him later."

"Hehe, I told you right? He's an amazing man. But what you want to talk about?"

Both Renxue and Asya were currently inside a luxurious inn near a beautiful lake in the commercial district. The view from where they were standing was mesmerizing, and the calm atmosphere of the lake made the place even more comfortable.

'But knowing his status, it won't be easy to task to ask him to give Asya to me. If he's from the Great Heaven Kingdom then it will be easier, alas...'

'Should I say it bluntly, what if he's asking for something in return?'

Knowing Asya's master identity didn't help Renxue to make up her mind, instead, it makes her even more worried than before. She let out a long exasperated sigh, her eyes staring blankly at the calm surface of the lake and she let her mind wander.

"But what should I do, sister Renxue? I want to meet master, but I want to find this spitefull Xiao Chen first. Where is he anyway? He's like a ghost."

That night, Renxue spent her time thinking about how she should ask Asya from Mubai.

...

"Achoo!"

Inside a room, Xiao Chen was cultivating earnestly until he had a sudden urge to sneeze.

"Weird, did someone just badmouthing me?"

...

"Damn it, it's supposed to be my time to shine! But he just has to flaunt on his high horse and take my limelight."

Somewhere in the Starfall Imperial City, Dai Weisi was drunk and screaming out his frustration. On both of his arms were two voluptuous women, their faces were red because of the alcohol and Dai Weisi's 'tweaking'.

"How is he able to cultivate that fast anyway, that's too abnormal!"

Dai Weisi closed both of his eyes. He tightly clenched his fist, causing his fingernails to dig into his flesh. Fresh blood slowly dripped out, and his whole body could not stop trembling.

Dissatisfaction!

He was not resigned!

A fierce resentment that stemmed from the depths of his soul began to pervade Dai Weisi's body. He cannot accept it! Then Weisi decided to vent out his frustration onto the two women beside him.

Several hours later after Weisi letting out all of his steams, a figure walking into Weisi's place. Seeing Weisi's shameful appearance, he's grinning widely.

"Your highness, what about my offer?"

Hearing a familiar voice, Weisi snapped out of his reverie. His different colored pupils were all staring at the figure unblinkingly.

"Don't test my patience, even though I envy him, I won't take that path."

"Pardon me? Are you sure?"

"Don't make me repeat it." Weisi's eyes keep staring at the figure without flinching.

"It's unfortunate then, I thought that you want your cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds. This method will let you become a Spirit King by the end of this month. It seems that this path has nothing to do with your esteemed self." The figure then turned his body around and walking out through the way he came.

"Wait."

The figure was smiling, his smile was as if saying 'Easy'. But he quickly hides his smile when he turned his body facing Dai Weisi.

"Anything I can help you with, your highness?"

"I..."
