C6 The Emperor's Wind Martial Palace the Birthday of a Thousand Gold

It had been three months since then, and Huoyan City had finally welcomed the long awaited examination of Difeng Martial Mansion to recruit students.

In the past, the young generations of Huoyan City had to head to the Imperial Capital for taking part in the examination of High-Class Martial Mansions. However, Difeng Martial Mansion came to Huoyan City in order to recruit students this year. It was a glorious event for the entire Huoyan City.

And what was even more surprising was that Difeng Martial Mansion's examination was being held at the mansion of Ye Family, and also at the birthday banquet of Ye Family's eldest daughter, Ye You.

"This is really amazing! I never thought that the Ye Family would actually be related to one of the Five Great Colleges in the Holy Star Dynasty. Is the era led by Ye Family in Huoyan City coming?"

"Maybe! Whoever builds a good relationship with Difeng Martial Mansion will naturally prosper forever in the future."

"Let's go to the mansion of Ye Family to have a look! I wonder how many young geniuses of Young Sect College will successfully pass the examination of Difeng Martial Mansion."

"The four great geniuses will surely be able to pass the examination."

"You're wrong. They are only three great geniuses now."

"Oh, I'm sorry! I forgot that there was one disabled person."

Amidst the excitement of the audiences, the Ye You's birthday banquet quietly kicked off.

It was almost noon, and Ye Family’s house was already full of guests. As a top-notch family in Huoyan City, Ye Family had a formidable reputation in the city.

The decorations were luxurious, and the area of the Ye Family’s Mansion was enormous.

A brand-new red carpet directly spread out from the Ye Family’s gate into the front courtyard.

In order to cater to this year's student assessment of Difeng Martial Mansion, the Ye Family had specially altered the front courtyard into a wide Dao Pillar. In the center of the Dao Pillar, there was a square platform that was over fifty meters in length and width, which showed great majesty.

There was hubbub of voices in the mansion, and it was bustling with noise and excitement.

A magnificent grandstand was also built in the upper part of the central platform.

On the grandstand, four people with extraordinary vitality were sitting on comfortable and wide chairs.

At a glance, only these four people had the qualification to sit on those chairs.

"Have Patriarch of Liu Family, the Liang Family's Patriarch, and the Young Sect’s Master all arrived?"

"How rare it is! Several important persons of Huoyan City have not gathered together for a long time."

"I think that it should be attributed to the Difeng Martial Mansion."

The crowd below the arena discussed animatedly, and all of them had expressions of reverence on their faces.

The one seated to the far left was the Patriarch of Liang Family, Liang Hui.

Around forty years old, his hands were placed horizontally on both sides of the wide chair, and his expression was especially calm.

Next to Liang Hui was a middle-aged man in a long robe, and he seemed as old as Liang Hui. With his deep gaze, it could be seen that he wasn't an ordinary person. It was the Patriarch of Liu Family, Liu Xuan.

At the far right was an old man in his fifties or sixties. Two iron balls were rotating in a uniform speed in his palm, giving off a feeling of steadiness like mountains.

He was the Master of the Young Sect College, Qing Shi.

And the heroic and extraordinary middle-aged man who sat in the very middle of the four of them was the Patriarch of Ye Family, Ye Qing.

Ye Qing sat upright on the wide chair, and the corners of his mouth curled into a faint smile. For Ye Qing, the event today was not merely the birthday celebration of his beloved daughter, Ye You.

Guests had arrived, and salutes were firing in unison!

The joyous atmosphere pervaded every corner of the Ye Family.

However, at this very moment, the ones who attracted the most attention were not the three Patriarchs and the Young Sect’s Master. Instead, they were the two young men who were respectively located beside the Patriarch of Liu Family and that of Liang Family.

"Senior Brother Liu Xiao is so handsome!"

"Senior Brother Liang Yiming is also very cold and handsome."

"Amongst the geniuses of Young Sect College, the two are the ones I admire the most."

Many of the surrounding girls looked at the two with infatuation. As this year's number one genius of the Young Sect, no matter where Liu Xiao went, he would always be the focus of attention. He was in high and vigorous spirits, and his valiant brows were full of arrogance and haughtiness.

Liang Yiming was cold and cool, and he seldom smiled. His proud and aloof temperament was like an eagle on the prairie.

"Miss Ye You came out."

Suddenly, the crowd below the arena burst into an uproar as all gazes swept towards the same spot. Under various envious gazes, a young girl with an elegant, refined, and noble temperament walked out from the inner courtyard of the Ye Family.

"Miss Ye You is so beautiful today."

"Nonsense. Miss Ye You has always been very beautiful."

"Happy birthday to Miss Ye You."

Ye You was the eldest daughter of Ye Family and was one of the four great geniuses of Young Sect College.

Ye You, on the other hand, possessed an extremely high popularity. Adding to the fact that today was her sixteenth birthday, her appearance on the scene gave off an amazing feeling.

"You, come here to greet the two Patriarchs and the Headmaster." The Patriarch of Ye Family said with a bland smile.

Ye You's mouth revealed a charming smile. She gently walked to the stand, and politely bowed as she said, "Welcome, Uncle Liu, Uncle Liang, Uncle Principal."

"Niece You, there’s no need to be so polite." Liu Xuan slightly raised his hand and laughed.

"Little You…" Young Sect’s Master Qing Shi waved his hand and said, "Come here, I have a present for you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qing Shi took out an exquisite brocade box and opened it. Accompanied by a burst of seductive fragrance, a dark red Pill appeared in everyone's line of sight.

"Yuan Gu Pill!" Ye Qing frowned, and could not help but blurt out.

When they heard the words 'Yuan Gu Pill', the surrounding people all had expressions of shock on their faces.

Qing Shi squinted his eyes, and a pleased smile appeared on his face, "Little You, this 'Yuan Gu Pill' is enough for you to break through your Essence Mastering Stage in half a year, so you'd better do your best!"

Ye You was ecstatic, "Thank you for your gift, and I will definitely not disappoint you."

"Good girl."

Amidst the countless envious gazes from the audiences below the arena, Ye You received the Yuan Gu Pill from Qing Shi and stood next to the Patriarch of the Ye Family, Ye Qing.

It was also at this time that Liu Xiao, who was not far away, walked over to her and laughed faintly with some interest, saying, "Miss Ye You, that cripple hasn't come to you, right?"

Ye You frowned slightly, and casually replied, "Of course."

"Aha!" Liu Xiao laughed complacently, "A cripple with broken arms and legs will probably not be able to crawl through the gate of the Ye Family."

The atmosphere of joy kept growing.

As for the second daughter of Ye Family, Ye Yao, who was standing at the side, she was completely depressed, and her eyes were especially complicated as she looked at her elder sister, Ye You, who was like a myriad of stars surrounding the moon.

"Brother Chu Hen, where exactly are you?"

Ye Yao bit her lips lightly, worry showing on her beautiful face.

Very soon, almost all the famous people in the Huoyan City reached the Ye Family.

"Now, only Patriarch Long Zhan of General's Mansion isn’t here."

"People of General's Mansion would definitely not come here. Because the cripple Chu Hen brought shame on General's Mansion by being related to the scandal. If Long Zhan come here, he will be definitely humiliated."

"That's right. Aha!"

The General's Mansion that everyone was talking about had also great influence in the Huoyan City, and Chu Hen had been adopted by the General's Mansion since he was young.

Originally, the Patriarch of General's Mansion should have been present personally on today's occasion. However, not only did the Patriarch Long Zhan had not come, not a single person from General's Mansion had.

The reason for this was naturally because of Chu Hen.

In the eyes of the entire Huoyan City, Chu Hen was just a humiliated cripple who had lost face.

"Screech!"

Abruptly, a resonant and passionate whistle of an eagle echoed in the air above the Ye Family.

Everyone in the crowd was shocked as they all raised their heads to look at the sky. Everyone's pupils contracted as they saw an imposing yet domineering gigantic white condor flying towards them from the clouds in the horizon.

This giant condor was completely white without a single mixed feather. It spread its wings that were a hundred meters wide.

Moving like a stream of light, and it seemed to be able to trigger the wind and thunder.

The aura it emitted directly suppressed the entire audiences.

"It's the Level Nine Spiritual Beast, Extreme Edge White Eagle!" An exclamation came from the crowd below.

"Looks like the people from Difeng Martial Mansion have arrived."

"How impressive! They are coming by riding on the Level Nine Spiritual Beast! It is indeed worthy of being titled Difeng Martial Mansion."

The Patriarch of Ye Family, Ye Qing, the Patriarch of Liu Family, Liang Hui, and the Young Sect's Master, Qing Shi, all stood up at the same time. They all looked at the awe-inspiring Extreme Edge White Eagle with solemnly anticipation on their faces.

Accompanying the huge black figure that was moving swiftly on the ground of the Huoyan City, the white condor reached the air above the Ye Family in the blink of an eye.

On the back of the white condor, there were more than twenty sharp silhouettes with extraordinary auras.

The person leading them was a middle-aged man in his thirties. He looked down at the crowd below with a faint, arrogant smile on his face.

"Screech!"

The white condor drew an elegant arc in the sky, and then landed steadily on the square platform in the center of the Ye Family front courtyard.

A powerful shockwave, accompanied by a majestic aura, swept out in all directions. The surrounding crowd was shaken and they were forced to retreat.

"Mentor Li Gu! It’s definitely gracious presence! I’ve failed to meet you!"

Ye Qing immediately welcomed him with a smile, and his was especially warm.

"Patriarch Ye!"

The middle-aged man on top of the white condor smiled, then led the crowd to leap off the stage. He turned to the white condor and said, "Wait for my order in the forest outside the city."

"Screech!"

The white eagle let out a low and deep whistle, then opened its wings once more. Under the surprised gazes of the crowd, it rose into the air and disappeared above the Ye Family.

"So powerful! This is the first time I have seen a Spiritual Beast being tamed so obediently."

"It's even a Level Nine Spiritual Beast."

"Difeng Martial Mansion is indeed extraordinary."

After hearing the exclamations and discussions of the people around them, the people from Difeng Martial Mansion felt a sense of superiority.

"Thank you for traveling all the way here, Mentor Li Gu. Please take a seat!" Ye Qing politely received the group of people from Difeng Martial Mansion personally.

Young Sect’s Master Qing Shi also went up to greet him, "Aha, Mentor Li Gu, long time no see, and you are still powerful!"

"Principal Qing Shi, you are getting stronger and stronger! Aha."

One was a mentor and the other was the dean.

But Young Sect College and Difeng Martial Mansion could not be compared in the slightest. Qing Shi had to keep a low profile even as the dean in front of Li Gu.

Patriarch of Liu Family and Patriarch of Liang Family also stepped forward and gave a simple greeting.

After that, Li Gu dignifiedly took a seat between Ye Qing and Qing Shi. From the arrangement of the seats, it could be seen that Li Gu and Qing Shi were almost equal in status.

To be able to sit on equal footing was sufficient to show the respect Ye Family had for the Difeng Martial Mansion.

"Patriarch Ye, it is said that today is the birthday of your precious daughter. Why not hold the banquet for her first, and then we can proceed with the assessment?" Li Gu said.

"How polite is Mentor Li Gu!" Ye Qing waved his hand, shook his head, and said, "The Difeng Martial Mansion Assessment is a major event that will attract the attention of the entire Huoyan City. Let's finish this first, and then everyone can happily relax."

As soon as he said that, it attracted the approval of countless people around him.

One had to know that the reason why a vast majority of people had come here today was all to discuss the matter of the examination to recruit students into the Difeng Martial Mansion.

In the past, all the young geniuses of the Huoyan City would personally head to the Imperial Capital to participate in the examination of the High-Class Martial Mansions.

It was rare for someone from the Difeng Martial Mansion to personally come to Huoyan City this year.

"Since that's the case, let's take the examination first!" Li Gu did not insist. His voice paused for a while, and his gaze turned towards the Master of Young Sect College, Qing Shi, beside him, and continued, "However, before the assessment, I have one more thing to announce."

Was there anything important to announce?

Everyone was startled!

On the spacious street of the Huoyan City, a tall and handsome youth raised his head to look at the white condor that had disappeared into the clouds.

The youth was dressed in black clothes, and his firm and unswerving outline was as if it was carved by a knife.

Then, the young man's gaze turned to the front. On the board on top of the dignified gate, the two words, 'Ye Mansion', exuded a solemn and mighty aura.

The corner of the youth's mouth curled into an indifferent arc, and there was a hidden violet light showing sharpness in his icy cold eyes.
