Apart from those who already knew Ye Hongyi's background and those like Wei Qizhao who had already guessed, everyone else was stunned when they heard "My master is the Holy Emperor." For a moment, they couldn't react.
The Holy Emperor? Which Immortal King is the Holy Emperor?
Wait... the Holy Emperor she's talking about, wouldn't it be the Holy Emperor of the Holy Emperor Palace?
Hiss...
In an instant, throughout the huge square, countless gasps of cold air arose amidst the originally festive atmosphere.
Some True Immortal experts who had just emerged from seclusion and hadn't had time to understand the truth of the mortal realm saw others' reactions and curiously inquired about who the Holy Emperor was.
For experts, a single divine thought could explain thousands of words. After a few divine thoughts flashed across the square, those True Immortal experts who were late to realize also joined the ranks of those gasping in shock.
Oh my god, even more formidable than the Red Dust Heavenly Emperor, the father of Qing Yan Immortal Venerable. It was impossible for them not to be shocked.
More importantly, such figures were not people they could meet whenever they wanted. Yet today, they were seeing the disciple of such a great figure. How fortunate was this?
No one doubted that Ye Hongyi was lying, because matters concerning such transcendent experts involved heaven-defying karma in every word, action, and even a thought.
At this moment, everyone's eyes towards Ye Hongyi changed.
Initially, the reason they attended this apprenticeship banquet was entirely because the initiator was the Su family's ancestor. When an Immortal King sends you an invitation, even fellow Immortal Kings have to give some face, let alone them, these True Immortals.
They were not without doubts as to why the Su family would make such a grand affair of an apprenticeship banquet, but ultimately, they were there to give face to the Su family's Immortal King. As for anything else, they didn't think much about it.
But now, they knew why the Su family's ancestor would hold such a grand apprenticeship banquet.
The Holy Emperor's disciple was accepting a disciple, which meant that the Su family's little princess, who was not even one year old, was a third-generation disciple of the Holy Emperor Palace, the Holy Emperor's grand-disciple.
Although they had never met the Holy Emperor, according to the various traces they had learned and some unconfirmed rumors, this Holy Emperor was likely a person who favored girls over boys, and coupled with the phenomenon of doting on grandchildren, the Su family's little princess was likely to be spoiled rotten.
"Damn, if I had known this, I would have prepared a generous gift."
Soon someone woke up, and then felt very regretful. He looked at the congratulatory gift in his hand, a top-grade holy medicine. Under normal circumstances, a top-grade holy medicine would be enough as a congratulatory gift for this apprenticeship banquet, because today's two protagonists, Ye Hongyi, was only in the Returning Origin Realm, and Su Xiao, was just a little girl who had just learned to walk.
But it was different for the Holy Emperor's disciple. Not to mention holy medicines, even divine medicines and immortal medicines they could afford.
"Hey, me too!"
"Who says otherwise, if I had known that Fairy Hongyi was a disciple of the Holy Emperor, I would have sold my ancestral immortal artifact as a congratulatory gift even if I had to sell everything I owned!"
...
On the other side, a group of Immortal Kings saw the expressions of regret and annoyance on the faces of others, and their hearts actually felt a trace of pride.
They were usually aloof and high above, and True Immortals did not enter their eyes. Now, they were actually complacent because they had guessed some truths and were one or two steps ahead?
It can only be said that even Immortal King experts cannot be without desires.
Among them, an old man with white hair slightly raised the corners of his mouth, unable to suppress it, unable to suppress it at all.
"Immortal King Yunhai, there's no need for you to be like this, right?"
Wei Qizhao couldn't help but smile wryly when he saw this. Although he also felt a little proud in his heart, none of them, including him, showed it. However, Immortal King Yunhai, an Immortal King who was even older than him, actually showed his inner emotions on his face.
Was it necessary?
Immortal King Yunhai chuckled. Although he was an old man, his tone was not old at all. He said, "Immortal Fairy Xingxing and Immortal Fairy Nanzhuo met my grandson not long ago."
Wei Qizhao frowned slightly and said, "What? Do you want to stand up for Yun Chuan?"
In the Ancient Academy, Yun Chuan was the proudest person. Even after being defeated by Jun Nanzhuo, his arrogance remained unchanged. Now that they met in the mortal world, it was not surprising that there were conflicts. What was surprising was that Yun Chuan actually wanted to call for help?
If that was the case, then he couldn't be blamed. Not to mention that Jun Nanzhuo was the princess's disciple, even if he wasn't, he would still stand up for him, because this kid was his granddaughter Wei Xingxing's Dao companion.
"Don't misunderstand, they had a pleasant conversation. My grandson, after going out, seems like a different person. His arrogance is gone, and he even told me that he made some good friends. It's really surprising!" Immortal King Yunhai chuckled.
"That's a good thing, but it's still a bit inappropriate to talk about it on this occasion, right?" Wei Qizhao said.
"How could it be? My grandson not only made friends, but also found a Dao companion who could make him stay, and his Dao companion has an older brother named Li Beifei." Yunhai looked at Wei Qizhao with a smile.
"Li Beifei!" Wei Qizhao was shocked, and then asked, "You knew it all along?"
Yunhai did not answer, but said, "I think my grandson has changed so much, and I have to thank Li Beifei, so I prepared two congratulatory gifts."
"You old brat..."
Wei Qizhao was very speechless. Yunhai must have known it a long time ago, otherwise why would he prepare two congratulatory gifts?
He thought that his Vermillion Bird Undead Medicine, which was about to become an immortal medicine, would be the best, but now it seemed that it was still not as good as this old brat.
"Immortal King Yunhai, you are not kind, you actually hid it from us."
The other Immortal King experts were also very speechless. The conversation between the two of them did not avoid them at all, so they could naturally hear everything clearly.
"Hehe, I'm old, I can't possibly break through in this life, but my grandson has more potential than me, so I have to do something for him in the last period of time."
Yunhai stroked his long beard and said with a smile.
"Yunhai, you..."
The other Immortal Kings' expressions suddenly changed when they heard this, and then they noticed that Immortal King Yunhai looked fine, but if they felt it carefully, Immortal King Yunhai exuded a strong aura of death.
"Your breakthrough failed?" Wei Qizhao asked.
Immortal King Yunhai did not hide it, but nodded and said, "People, after all, are always unwilling. Knowing that one more step forward can embark on a brand new avenue, how can they resist the temptation? It's just a pity that what I stepped into was the abyss of death."
The others were silent, even Wei Qizhao was the same. How could they not want to break through and become an Immortal Venerable? But the price of failing to break through was too great. If it was light, they would die, and if it was serious, they would not even have the chance to be reincarnated.
"Old Yun, I admire you!"
A relatively young Immortal King cupped his hands and said. He was the youngest Immortal King present, and should have been the most energetic, but he still did not dare to take a step forward, so he admired Yunhai and called him Old Yun to show his respect.
Yunhai waved his hand indifferently, but looked at Ye Hongyi on the high platform. They were communicating with their divine thoughts just now, and only a few breaths had passed. Next, he was going to find a backer for his grandson again. Even if he couldn't become a backer, he could at least leave some deep impression in Ye Hongyi's heart.
For this reason, he even gave up the chance of reincarnation.
On the high platform, Ye Hongyi was very satisfied with everyone's performance. A person's reputation is like the shadow of a tree. Although her cultivation was shallow, she had an invincible master.
It's really refreshing to have someone behind you.
Next, Ye Hongyi didn't say much, just let everyone eat, drink, and have fun.
As for those congratulatory gifts, she didn't care, and the Su family would take care of them properly.
She carried Su Xiao back to the pavilion. At this moment, the Su family's ancestor, Immortal King Yuhua, Su Qin, Su Yao, and Xiao Yi were all in the hall on the first floor, but their faces were a little strange.
Ye Hongyi looked over, and her face was filled with surprise.
"Master!"
