Wu Shattered Star River

The banquet was scheduled for the evening of the next day, at Listening Rain Lake in the north of the city.

This lake had very beautiful scenery, with many beautiful buildings constructed here, making it the best restaurant in the Wushan Immortal Kingdom.

This was also the property of another influential clan, the Bai family.

Jiang Han went to the Lord's Mansion and found Immortal Lord Wuyun, recounting the gifts he had received from the various families and the invitation to a banquet.

Immortal Lord Wuyun smiled and told Jiang Han to enjoy himself, saying that as long as he didn't reveal his identity, everything else was fine. He wouldn't even mind if Jiang Han killed all the young masters and misses from the families.

Although Immortal Lord Wuyun said this, Jiang Han naturally wouldn't do such a thing. He wasn't a psychopath; why would he cause trouble if no one provoked him?

After obtaining Immortal Lord Wuyun's consent, Jiang Han went to the backyard to find Wu Qi. Wu Qi had a good impression of Jiang Han. Although he was her family's master, he didn't have the airs of a super-rich young master, so Wu Qi was naturally willing to be close to Jiang Han.

Jiang Han took Wu Qi out of the Lord's Mansion, but he didn't immediately go to the restaurant. Instead, he took Wu Qi back to his own small courtyard.

Meng Yi was already waiting there, along with Wu Ji, Lu Yu, and Yin Ruoxi.

Jiang Han planned to take these three to the banquet, wanting them to integrate into the Wushan Immortal Kingdom and get to know these young masters and misses from influential families. If these three were willing to stay and develop in the Wushan Immortal Kingdom, it would be much more convenient in the future.

Jiang Han had always taken good care of his friends, just as he had in the Star Dust Realm and after going to the Myriad Worlds.

These three were among the few friends he had made since coming to the Upper Realm, and now that he had the ability, he naturally wanted to help them.

When Meng Yi saw Wu Qi following behind Jiang Han, and Wu Qi was even smiling, she was deeply shocked.

However, she didn't show it on the surface, and respectfully bowed, saying, "Greetings, Miss Qi!"

Meng Yi had told Wu Ji and the others about Wu Qi's identity, so the three of them were naturally sensible and all bowed in respect.

When Yin Ruoxi saw the clever, beautiful, and intelligent Wu Qi, her eyes became even dimmer. She felt that the distance between herself and Jiang Han was growing further and further.

She hadn't seized the opportunity in the Cangyun Immortal Kingdom, and now she was afraid that she would never have another chance.

Jiang Han introduced the three of them to Wu Qi, but Wu Qi only nodded slightly, considering it a greeting. The group left the small courtyard and went to a teleportation array in the north of the city, teleporting to Listening Rain Lake outside the city.

Wu Qi didn't bring any guards, just following Jiang Han's side alone.

Jiang Han suspected that there might be secret guards following in the dark, otherwise, how could Immortal Lord Wuyun be so at ease?

The group teleported and appeared in a pavilion. Jiang Han glanced around and found that the pavilion was above a large lake, and it was even starting to drizzle.

The drizzle made the entire lake misty, giving it a unique flavor.

In front of the pavilion was a straight corridor, leading directly to a wooden palace complex. The palace complex was very magnificent, appearing even more beautiful and dreamlike in the misty lake, with pleasant scenery.

At this moment, four young masters and three young misses were standing on the corridor in front of the pavilion. All seven of them were dressed in grand attire, the men handsome and dashing, the women beautiful and charming.

When the seven saw Jiang Han and the others teleporting over, they immediately greeted them and bowed respectfully, saying, "Greetings, Miss Qi, greetings, Young Master Jiang!"

Wu Qi nodded slightly but didn't speak, her gaze turned to Jiang Han.

Jiang Han smiled and said, "You are all too polite, please rise!"

"Huh?"

The seven young masters and misses all straightened up and realized that it was Jiang Han who had spoken. Moreover, Wu Qi didn't seem to have any dissatisfaction and was still standing behind Jiang Han. All of them showed a look of astonishment on their faces, and their hearts were shaken.

They had known Wu Qi for many years and knew the temperament of this willful little princess.

This little princess was accustomed to being the center of attention, and in any occasion, she was basically the focus. Now, she was actually willing to be behind Jiang Han?

Like Meng Yi, the seven were all very shocked and somewhat puzzled.

Jiang Han was just an illegitimate son, even if Immortal Lord Wuyun valued him. Under normal circumstances, shouldn't Wu Qi resent him, dislike him, and make things difficult for him in every possible way?

Even if she didn't resent him, she shouldn't be so well-behaved, right?

The seven were very surprised in their hearts, but they didn't dare to show it on the surface. The group welcomed Jiang Han and the others inside.

Jiang Han habitually walked forward, but after a few steps, he realized and pulled Wu Qi's arm, saying, "Cousin Qi, you go ahead."

Wu Qi smiled sweetly and said, "Cousin Jiang, we are close cousins, why be so particular? You go ahead!"

Jiang Han pulled Wu Qi along as they walked, and the group of young masters and misses followed behind, looking at each other.

Looking at Jiang Han's back, their eyes began to change. It seemed that this "illegitimate son" was more valued by Immortal Lord Wuyun than they had imagined.

Wu Ji, Lu Yu, and Yin Ruoxi exchanged glances, and the three of them felt that Jiang Han was becoming increasingly unfathomable.

This little pseudo-immortal had more and more secrets on his body. They couldn't understand him at all.

The building was good, the wine was good, and the dishes were good.

The group of young masters and misses were very enthusiastic, polite, and courteous. Their words were subtly flattering, saying pleasant and agreeable things. The atmosphere of the banquet was very harmonious.

A young master from the Meng family came, who was Meng Yi's own brother, and he had excellent eloquence. He was skilled at socializing, knew how to observe people's expressions, and was good at guiding the atmosphere. He talked about many interesting things in the Heavenly Court, which made Jiang Han very interested.

Although Jiang Han had been in the Heavenly Court for more than a year, he was actually very unfamiliar with it. Before, his status was low, and he had no chance to learn about some secrets. Now that he finally had the opportunity to learn, he was naturally very interested.

Seeing that Jiang Han was listening attentively, the group of young masters and misses were all very understanding and began to tell various strange and unusual stories.

"Have you heard?"

A young master from the Bai family brought up a secret, which made Jiang Han even more interested. She said, "The identity of the fourth on the Heavenly Maiden Ranking is not ordinary."

Jiang Han naturally knew who the fourth on the Heavenly Maiden Ranking was, the beautiful fairy from the Planet of Bewilderment who suffered from a strange illness.

Wu Qi chuckled and said, "Her identity is almost public knowledge. Who in the upper echelons of the Heavenly Court doesn't know?"

Jiang Han asked curiously, "Who is she a descendant of?"

A divine array was activated in the pavilion, and Wu Qi wasn't afraid that anyone outside would hear. She said, "The illegitimate daughter of the one in the Heavenly Court who is second only to the Jade Emperor."

"Second only to the Jade Emperor?"

Jiang Han frowned, and he asked somewhat uncertainly, "The Azure Flower Great Emperor?"

"Yes…"

Wu Qi nodded and said, "It is said that she is the illegitimate daughter of the Azure Emperor and the Moon Rabbit Fairy. Speaking of which, Fairy Bewilderment is also quite pitiful. Her mother died as soon as she was born."

"Decades ago, the Azure Emperor mysteriously disappeared. There are rumors in the Heavenly Court that he has already fallen. She herself also contracted a strange disease, and is lonely and helpless…"

"Disappeared?"

Jiang Han was stunned and said in confusion, "Someone of the Azure Emperor's level could just go into seclusion somewhere for decades, right? Or enter some secret realm? He is so powerful, how could he fall silently?"

"I don't know!"

Wu Qi shook her head and said, "There are only rumors that the Azure Emperor has already fallen. As for the specific situation, I don't know."

"Alas!"

The young master from the Bai family sighed slightly and said, "The Heavenly Court can have what it has today, and we can leisurely drink here, thanks to the Azure Emperor."

"If it weren't for the Azure Emperor, the Heavenly Court would have been breached by Mount Divine King and the Cave of Heavenly Demons long ago. Such a brilliant and outstanding figure, if he really fell, that would be the Heavenly Court's greatest loss."

"I heard a rumor that the Azure Emperor is not dead. He fought fiercely with the Blood Demon Emperor of the Demon Race, and his soul suffered a severe injury. He is now in a dying state!"

A young master from the Fan family said, "I also heard that the Eastern Heavenly Emperor led people into the Ancient God Star Region, actually to find a divine medicine to save the Azure Emperor!"

"Hmm?"

Jiang Han was surprised. The casual conversation actually touched on his father? The young master from the Fan family even said that his father entered the Ancient God Star Region to save the Azure Emperor?
