Everyone held their breath, staring at Mo Yu's lips, waiting for him to speak.
The birds were flying by, the sound of the wind was particularly obvious in my ears, and the leaves were rustling against each other.
Mo Yu raised his eyes, ready to nod and agree to speak.
"My Lord, then..."
Chu Xuanyao looked at the lips on a piece of paper with eyes full of desire, becoming more and more excited.
Suddenly, a voice interrupted the quiet scene.
"The Emperor has arrived!"
The guard beside Yi Jinyi spoke loudly, and everyone knelt down and saluted.
"I pay my respects to His Majesty..."
"I pay my respects to His Majesty..."
Yi Jinyi saw the awkward scene, observed everyone's expressions, and guessed what was going on.
With a slight nod and a wave of his hand, everyone stood up. Yi Jinyi's sudden arrival eased the tense atmosphere at the scene.
Mo Yu was furious. Thinking of his father's death, he was determined to let this arrogant man in front of him know how powerful he was.
"Your Majesty, I have something to ask."
Yi Jinyi took a look, glanced at it lightly, turned his head and looked at everyone.
Mo Yu was ignored like this, and the emperor did not answer, feeling a little uncomfortable.
If Chu Xuanyao didn't give the man in front of him a hard time, he would probably not know how powerful he was.
However, Yi Jinyi didn't want Mo Yu to do this, because he just received news today that Chu Xuanyao was the best martial artist in Lanyue Country and Mo Yu was no match for him.
The two of them must not be allowed to fight each other, but Mo Yu didn't know this news. When he heard about Mo Hexuan's death, he naturally felt sad.
"Your Majesty..."
Yi Jinyi glanced at Mo Yu who was still speaking, but he ignored him and looked towards Chu Xuanyao.
"Since the winner of the hunting ground is Prince Chu of Lanyue Country, then we should follow the rules and give rewards to those who deserve them. I have specially prepared a banquet for everyone to enjoy delicious food in the palace."
The dignitaries smiled brilliantly and looked at the emperor happily.
But Chu Xuanyao did not give up, because he was suddenly interrupted and saw that his goal was about to be achieved, so how could he let it go
"Your Majesty, I have something to ask."
Chu Xuanyao walked out and bowed. Yi Jinyi saw him and immediately knew what he wanted to say.
But he couldn't agree and answered indifferently.
"What do you want to report? Is it more important than the banquet I'm hosting?"
Yi Jinyi looked over with cold eyes. Chu Xuanyao was speechless for a moment when he saw the emperor's threatening tone.
If I say yes, it would be a crime of disobeying the emperor. If I say no, it would be difficult to achieve my goal.
Chu Xuanyao hesitated for a moment.
"This...Minister..."
Chu Xuanyao glanced at the person next to him. Mo Yu lowered his head and said nothing.
I felt helpless and conflicted, but I had to go for it no matter what. I didn't believe the emperor would dare to do anything to a prince from Lanyue Kingdom.
If they did anything to me, it would be like two countries preparing for war.
"I was just discussing something with Lord Mo. I want to invite Lord Mo to compete with me and test Lord Mo's skills."
Yi Jinyi didn't expect that he actually had the courage to speak like that and to say it so decisively.
He is pushing me so hard, it seems like Chu Xuanyao won't give up until he achieves his goal.
Yi Jinyi's face changed and became ugly, but only Mo Yu noticed the change in Yi Jinyi's expression.
Chu Xuanyao didn't get a response from the emperor and didn't straighten himself up.
Everyone kept watching the show, and an immersive atmosphere wafted through the air.
"Haha, I can't make the decision on this, but I think everyone must be very tired from hunting and should take a rest."
Chu Xuanyao didn't give up, he looked up and nodded.
"Your Majesty is right. I will naturally rest and recuperate first. Since Your Majesty says that he cannot make the decision, what does Lord Mo think?"
Yi Jinyi looked at Mo Yu and gave him a look. Mo Yu took a look and saw that Yi Jinyi particularly didn't want to compete with Chu Xuanyao.
He saw the implication and shook his head.
"Prince Chu's ability is obvious to everyone."
This person keeps praising himself, but he doesn't see his archery skills at all. I wonder what this person is up to.
"My skills are naturally not as good as Prince Chu's. There is no need to compete. Hunting is a bit of a waste of energy. I am afraid I am exhausted and cannot accept the invitation."
Chu Xuanyao raised his eyebrows, slightly stunned, and looked at Mo Yu in astonishment. Just now, he almost made him agree.
He felt unwilling and wanted to show him how powerful he was. He knew how powerful he was in Lanyue Country and how no one could match him.
"Haha, I didn't think it through. Since we can't do it now, why not schedule it during the day in a few days, when everyone is in better spirits?"
Mo Yu saw that Chu Xuanyao kept inviting him, and even the emperor's obstruction was of no use.
I still don’t know what’s in this person’s stomach
Yi Jinyi was afraid that Mo Yu would agree, but when the competition started, he might not be able to stop it.
The burning gaze was looking at Mo Yu. Mo Yu was noticed by this strong gaze and turned his eyes to take a look.
With just a glance, the two people seemed to exchange some information, and Mo Yu still smiled slightly.
"I'm afraid I will be busy with official business in the next few days and won't be able to compete with Prince Chu."
Chu Xuanyao was constantly rejected and his face looked grim. He looked at the emperor standing there indifferently.
Since the emperor won't interfere, I must force you out. I don't believe you won't agree.
Suddenly, he thought of something, and an idea flashed across his mind.
Maybe this method can...
As I thought about it, I immediately looked over with disappointment.
"But in Lanyue Country, if one person invites another person and the other person disagrees, it is disrespectful."
Chu Xuanyao paused and used the rules of Lanyue Country to suppress Mo Yu.
"However, since Lord Mo is so afraid of our Lanyue Kingdom, and I am also in Tianyu Kingdom, then I can only give up."
As Chu Xuanyao was talking, he turned around and looked at Mo Yu, at an angle that prevented Yi Jinyi from seeing his expression.
"A small competition can scare the Marquis of Weiwu. He has refused again and again. I guess he is not as skilled as others. I thought the Marquis's skills were superb, but I didn't expect..."
Mo Yu's face turned ashen and looked extremely ugly. His hands were clenched into fists, with veins bulging on the back of his hands.
He held back from speaking. Chu Xuanyao was stunned. He didn't expect that Lord Mo was so patient. He remained indifferent after hearing what he said.
I have a little admiration in my heart, but I still have to push it when it needs to be pushed.
"I didn't expect that the head of the mighty Marquis's Mansion would become such a weakling."
