“Shen… Shen Ran.”

When Xiao Han turned around happily and saw Shen Ran standing in front of him, his smile instantly froze.

With the gift he planned to give to the ‘Alchemy Master’ in his hand, he hung in midair and did not react for a long time.

On the other hand, Shen Ran smiled playfully. “Master Xiao, we meet again.”

The others were extremely puzzled when they saw this.

Even Lin Tianhai, who was standing at the side, said in confusion, “Your Highness, do you know each other?”

The smile on Xiao Han’s face froze as he stared fixedly at Shen Ran.

“Shen Ran!…

“It’s you!”

Although he still did not know the relationship between Shen Ran and Xiao Han, Lin Tianhai could not help but frown when he sensed Xiao Han’s tone.

“Xiao Han! Watch your attitude! This is His Highness Shen Ran of the Empyrean Sword Sect!”

Xiao Han looked at Shen Ran and Zhao Honglian, who was standing beside Shen Ran. Anger rose crazily in his heart.

On the other hand, Lin Tianhai saw that the atmosphere was not right and hurriedly smiled. “Your Highness, take a seat first.”

As he spoke, he glared at Xiao Han, clearly asking him to behave.

In order to ease the atmosphere, he began to introduce those famous figures in East Sea City.

Lin Tianhai pulled out a chair for the banquet with an embarrassed smile and looked at Shen Ran.

“Your Highness, this is the president of the Star Flame Chamber of Commerce, Wu Xingtian.”

Lin Tianhai pointed at the middle-aged man in Room 3 of the three auction rooms and introduced him.

When Wu Xingtian heard this, he hurriedly stood up and cupped his fists at Shen Ran with a smile.

“I’ve long heard of His Highness Shen of the Empyrean Sword Sect, especially the Fallen Phoenix Hill Mystic Realm. You’re really a prodigy of the Southern Region. Now that I’ve met you, you’re indeed a dragon among men.”

As he spoke, he took out another gift.

“I wonder what Your Highness Shen likes. I only know that Your Highness’s attainments in alchemy are very high. I specially asked someone to bring an Ice Spirit Immortal Herb from the extreme north of the Southern Region. I hope Your Highness won’t mind my humble gift.”

As he spoke, a package was presented.

The bag was covered in a layer of ice crystals, and an endless stream of ice aura spread out.

When this ice aura spread, it directly turned into fog, forming wisps of white fog that were like immortal energy that enveloped the entire bag.

After Wu Xingtian presented the gifts, the other famous figures in East Sea City also presented some natural treasures.

Of course, Shen Ran did not stand on ceremony with these natural treasures and accepted them all.

After all, these were their well wishes.

After everyone introduced themselves, the banquet officially began.

It was more of a flattery than a dinner party.

From the beginning of the banquet, these people were flattering Shen Ran unceasingly.

Shen Ran only nodded in response.

As for Xiao Han, he still looked like he was holding a gift. He stood rooted to the ground, his eyes fixed on Shen Ran.

Especially when he heard the continuous flattery around him, the anger in Xiao Han’s heart was ignited bit by bit.

Once upon a time, these people curried favor with him.

They were usually very respectful to him.

But now, they no longer cared and even curried favor with his enemy!

Thinking of this, Xiao Han was even more resentful.

He hated himself for being so stupid. Lin Tianhai had clearly said that he was an expert of the Empyrean Sword Sect and an alchemy master.

If he had pondered over his words, he would definitely be able to guess the identity of this expert.

Then he would not have to be humiliated in public now!

Particularly when he kept hearing the laughter and flattery, it sounded like mockery.

Xiao Han completely exploded.

He stared fixedly at Shen Ran and shouted, “Shen Ran! It’s you! You were the one who snatched my Heavenly Flame and the opportunity that belonged to me. Now you’re snatching everything that belongs to me. What exactly do you want to do!”

The sudden roar stunned everyone.

After being stunned for a moment, Lin Tianhai was the first to stand up and confronted Xiao Han.

“Xiao Han! How dare you! This is His Highness Shen. How dare you be so rude.”

Moreover, it was not only Lin Tianhai. Those famous figures from East Sea City who had come to the banquet also scolded Xiao Han angrily.

“Xiao Han! How dare you be disrespectful to His Highness Shen? Are you courting death?!”

“Xiao Han, get out of the City Lord Residence immediately. You’re not welcome here!”

Faced with the angry shouts, Xiao Han knew very well that he was not Shen Ran’s match yet, but he could not stay here and listen to those sarcastic words.

He could only glare at Shen Ran again and left the banquet like a stray dog.

The moment Xiao Han left, Lin Tianhai quickly looked at Shen Ran with an embarrassed smile. “Your Highness, don’t be angry. It’s not worth being angry at such a person.”

The others also spoke up and criticized Xiao Han.

Shen Ran was relatively calm about this.

Seeing that Shen Ran was not angry, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.

Without Xiao Han, the banquet was relatively quiet.

The time was also spent in laughter.

Soon, with everyone bidding farewell respectfully, Shen Ran left the City Lord Residence with the two women.

Although Shen Ran had left, Lin Tianhai and the others were standing at the entrance of the City Lord Residence, looking at Shen Ran’s back view from afar.

Lin Tianhai narrowed his eyes, which looked deep under the moonlight. “What do you think of His Highness Shen?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Xingtian spoke first.

Wu Xingtian blinked and said solemnly, “His Highness Shen is not simple.

“We know a little about that Xiao Han, but he has clearly suffered at the hands of His Highness Shen. Moreover, he has the deeds of the Fallen Phoenix Hill Mystic Realm. We can’t offend him!”

As soon as he finished speaking, someone else spoke suspiciously.

“Now that we know that Xiao Han has a grudge with His Highness Shen, how should we deal with him?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Tianhai’s eyes lit up.

“Compared to His Highness Shen, Xiao Han is just a powerless person. Ignore him.”

…

The next day, the entire East Sea City exploded with news.

It was mainly about what happened at the City Lord Residence’s banquet the day before.

The respected Master Xiao had actually offended Shen Ran, the Dao Seed of the Empyrean Sword Sect. When this news spread, it instantly caused a sensation in the entire East Sea City.

Moreover, because East Sea City was adjacent to the East Sea, there were many cultivators in the city.

They came to the East Sea City to rest so that they could go to the East Sea to hunt powerful and ferocious beasts.

However, when they found out that Shen Ran had actually come to East Sea City, they were all shocked.

In fact, a storyteller had started to tell stories in the most prosperous part of East Sea City.

At this moment, in the middle of the East Sea City, amidst the crowd, countless people gathered and looked at the storyteller in front of them.

Moreover, streams of light kept flashing across the sky.

Those landing on the ground were powerful cultivators.

Some cultivators even caused a phenomenon in the sky when they arrived. As the sun was setting in the west, dark clouds covered the sky. They were top experts.

When these cultivators learned that people were recounting what had happened at the banquet the day before, they were all attracted to gather here.

In the middle of the crowd, a gray-haired old man held a gavel and brought it down hard.

“Let’s talk about this legendary figure of the Empyrean Sword Sect, one of the three Dao Seeds, His Highness Shen Ran!

“His Highness Shen is definitely the top being among the younger generation of the Southern Region.

“Especially in the Fallen Phoenix Hill Mystic Realm, he suppressed Gu Shujue of the Heavenly Demon Sect, beat up Zhou Ziran, and defeated Xiao Han forcefully.

“That’s right! It’s Xiao Han, Master Xiao from our East Sea City.”

“…”

As the storyteller spoke, there was continuous discussion below.

“Your Highness Shen is indeed the strongest person among the younger generation.”

“I heard that bullsh*t Xiao Han actually dared to speak rudely to His Highness Shen yesterday. He really doesn’t know what’s good for him.”

“Hmph, how can a mere Xiao Han be compared to His Highness Shen!”

“…”

These people’s discussions, together with the storyteller’s story, had become the focus of countless people’s discussions.

Listening to Shen Ran’s past achievements attracted a large number of fans.
