Peerless Divine Sovereign

When everyone was discussing among themselves, Zhao Kuangji was also observing them from top to bottom, carefully sizing them up. Not to mention Ye Xuan's outer appearance, just his fearless appearance made Zhao Kuangji feel much more satisfied.    

    

After sizing up Young Noble Ye for a while, Zhao Kuangji then laughed out loud: "As the saying goes, when heroes give birth to youths, the reputation of being widowed is like thunder piercing one's ears. To meet Young Hero Ye today, it's truly an honor for the few to meet each other."    

    

There are not many people that could make the king of an empire say such words, so it can be seen that Zhao Kuangji appreciates Ye Xuan a lot. After seeing this point, Qiu Zhiming immediately praised: "Young Hero Ye's reputation, can only be described as cool breeze, in terms of the younger generation, he is definitely ranked number one in our Light Wind Empire."    

    

Just as Qiu Zhiming finished speaking, praises sounded out one after another. But if one looked carefully, they would realize that the people who praised him were practically all the ministers of the Light Wind Empire, since they were the people who were praised by the king, after all, they had to curry favor with him if they could curry favor with him.    

    

After the praises from the crowd had come to an end, Zhao Kuangji continued to speak while looking at Ye Xuan: "I heard from Elder Zhao that you were originally not planning to come to the National Celebration Ceremony, so I'm not sure if you think the National Celebration Ceremony is boring or if the prizes from the Clear Wind Peak Competition are not enough to attract you?"    

    

It was not hard to tell that Zhao Kuangji's words had a hint of 'interrogating' meaning, causing everyone to be stunned, they did not dare to reply, and the atmosphere instantly became tense. Duan Yuxin was even more so nervous that her heart had almost stopped beating, afraid that Ye Xuan's answer would be wrong and that it would be dangerous.    

    

At the same time, both Zhao Yan and Yin Yanran were stunned as well. They couldn't help but look towards Zhao Kuangji and Yin Yanran, who was about to say something even more anxious, was stopped by the look in Zhao Yan's eyes.    

    

At this time, everyone's eyes were once again focused on Ye Xuan, waiting for his answer. Ye Xuan, on the other hand, was not afraid at all as he looked at Zhao Kuangji without the slightest hint of nervousness, "I wonder if the king wishes to hear the truth or a lie?"    

    

"Nonsense, you still dare to lie in front of the king?" Ye Xuan had just finished speaking, and did not wait for Zhao Kuangji to reply, Qiu Zhiming took the initiative to shout.    

    

"Oh." Ye Xuan lowered his head to think for a moment, then looked at Zhao Kuangji and truthfully said: "Firstly, I am indeed not interested in the National Day Ceremony, and secondly, I am also not interested in the prizes from the Qingfeng Peak Competition … This shouldn't be illegal, right? "    

    

"Hua!" When Ye Xuan said this, the entire arena was in an uproar, all of them were dumbstruck, unable to believe what they had heard. All of them had strange expressions on their faces as they stared at Ye Xuan, as though they were looking at a monster.    

    

But don't say it, especially if you say it in front of the king. Although it's not against the law to say it out loud, but you feel like you're slapping your own face. No matter if it's the National Celebration Ceremony or the Qingfeng Peak Competition, they are all closely related to the king.    

    

All of a sudden, everyone present was stunned, all of them shaking their heads and sighing in their hearts. If the king got angry, then there would be no way that Ye Xuan could escape with his life on the line.    

    

At this moment, Qiu Zhiming was the first to react. With an ugly expression, he pointed at Ye Xuan and berated: "Ye Xuan, do you know what you're saying?
