Chapter 158 Summoned by Empress Yun
Yang Xu was the Young Master of the Yang Family, one of the five elite families in Yunge City, and he naturally qualified to attend the Yun Country Empress’s birthday celebration.
Moreover, with Yang Xu’s status, he would be arranged in the VIP area, where he could make an appearance before Emperor Yun and Empress Yun. As for ordinary people, if they couldn’t enter the VIP area, they could only remain in the regular section of the banquet, unable to see Emperor Yun and Empress Yun.
However, even the regular section was considered an immense honor for those who weren’t qualified to attend the birthday banquet.
The essence of the banquet lay not in who you could see but in whether you had the privilege to be there. This birthday celebration for Empress Yun was essentially a gathering of the most influential people in the entire Yun Country. If you didn’t even have the qualification to attend, it showed how insignificant your power in Yun Country was, rendering you unworthy of notice.
"Even Elder Luo Tian next to you is qualified to attend. I, who outperformed him to secure first place in the assessment, surely have no reason to be excluded, right?" Mo Wangchen cast a nonchalant glance at Yang Xu and then looked at Luo Tian beside him, chuckling lightly.
"You!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Luo Tian’s face immediately darkened. He harbored resentment for only securing third place in the assessment, and now, hearing Mo Wangchen mention it, his expression naturally worsened.
Yet, before Luo Tian could retort, Yang Xu extended his hand to stop him, his gaze coldly fixed on Mo Wangchen, "Sharp-tongued fellow, go ahead and be arrogant. Let’s see how you handle the life-and-death duel a month from now!"
Yang Xu sneered, although the duel between Mo Wangchen and Jun Muqing had not begun, he could already anticipate the outcome.
Jun Muqing had a cultivation level that suppressed Mo Wangchen significantly, not to mention her status as the Crown Princess Consort. Yun Chu Academy and the Royal Family couldn’t possibly sit idly by and watch Jun Muqing lose. The only possible outcome of this battle was Mo Wangchen’s demise!
