Su Mo knew a bit about the First Prince and the Third Prince. After all, his avatar had been in the Imperial Ancestor Court Faction for a very long time and he had heard many rumors about the two princes.

The First Prince, Gu Cangtian was nearing a hundred years old and he was at the peak of the Rank 9 Martial Honorable Realm. Among the princes and princesses, his cultivation rank was the highest, and he was naturally the strongest.

The Third Prince, Gu Yuanji was about 80 years old and he was also strong. He was currently a Rank 8 Martial Honorable.

Although it was impossible for the two to become Martial Sages before being a hundred years old, it was remarkable for them to reach such a high cultivation rank by their respective ages.

“Haha, at ease everyone!”

The tall First Prince wore a lighthearted expression as he gestured with his hand for everyone to sit.

“No need to be too polite, everyone!” The handsome Third Prince also spoke out.

With that, the First Prince and the Third Prince sat in their respective special seats beside Gu Tianyi.

“I didn’t expect the Eighth Prince to be earlier than us!” The First Prince laughed at Gu Tianyi.

“Eighth Prince’s cultivation rank is also increasing rapidly!” The Third Prince noted.

“Greetings to my older brothers!” Gu Tianyi chuckled and cupped his fists towards the two princes. Although the three princes were secretly battling against each other, they were calm and respectful towards each other.

“Eighth Prince is too polite!” The two princes waved their hands dismissively. They were both wary of the Eighth Prince’s progress and achievements.

That was because Gu Tianyi’s cultivation rank was peak of the Rank 5 Martial Honorable Realm. Although that was still far from their own cultivation ranks, Gu Tianyi was only 50 years old.

The Third Prince and First Prince were feeling unsettled by the fact that Gu Tianyi was already a Rank 5 Martial Honorable although he was only 50 years old.

In the next few moments, the three princes conversed among themselves. Occasionally, geniuses would step forward to greet them and they would properly conduct themselves.

Su Mo did not step forward and greet the princes. Instead, he remained at his seat and savored his wine. The reason why he had attended the banquet was not to suck up to others, but solely because Gu Tianyi had personally invited him.

More and more people arrived at the grounds and very quickly, there were over 500 people present.

However, everyone there was invited to the party and the seats were also arranged for the invited guests. Hence, there were enough seats for everyone.

At that point, another two people arrived to the grounds, a male and a female. The male wore a white robe and had a refined and handsome look. The girl wore a green dress and had pale skin. She was elegant and beautiful.

“Taishi Yuan, long time no see!”

“I didn’t expect Lady Xiang Yue to also come!”

Many people immediately stood and greeted the two upon seeing them.

Su Mo’s eyes immediately narrowed upon hearing the names. These two were people of the Taishi Family?

“Greetings everyone!” The white-robed young man and green-dressed lady cupped their fists towards the crowd.

“Ha ha! It is really a joyous occasion for Brother Taishi and Lady Xiang Yue to have arrived. Come, sit over here!” The First Prince stood up and invited the two guests over.

The white-shirted Taishi Yuan and Lady Xiang Yue nodded their heads before they walked towards the First Prince’s seat and sat beside him

The seats where most of the crowd sat were simple but the seats that the three princes sat on were evidently for the guests of honor.

The closest seats to the main seats were where top geniuses sat. Typical geniuses had no chance to sit there.

Su Mo carefully surveyed Taishi Yuan and the Lady Xiang Yue. The two were top ranked Martial Honorables and Su Mo could feel that they were both Rank 8 Martial Honorbales and above.

He wasn’t sure whether they were Rank 8 or 9 Martial Honorables since the aura from the two had been restrained and their cultivation ranks were much higher than his.

Su Mo had been afraid that the Taishi Family would find him and settle their grudge with him for killing Taishi Jue. However, a long time had passed and the Taishi Family didn’t act up.

Su Mo had heaved a sigh of relief, but he inevitably started to become jittery and shift in his seat upon seeing the Taishi Family members.

Right at that moment, Taishi Yuan and Lady Xiang Yue scanned the crowd and immediately spotted Su Mo.

Su Mo felt the gazes on him and his heart immediately leaped because he felt a murderous glare on him.

As expected, the two did not have good intentions!

However, Su Mo did not bother with them and continued to sip his wine and eat the Spiritual Fruit.

He did not have to worry too much since he was in Saint Royal City. Even if the two had high cultivation, they could not threaten him.

Taishi Yuan and Lady Xiang Yue’s stares stayed on Su Mo for a while before they shifted their gaze around and continued to scan the rest of the crowd.

Time passed by slowly and the banquet was officially about to begin. By now, there wasn’t anyone else streaming into the garden.

Uproarious voices rose in the grounds as many groups of friends drank and talked with each other.

Finally, the sound of footsteps echoed through the garden from outside and the place immediately quietened down.

As the crowd whipped their heads around, they found a lady walking gracefully over a small pavement.

This lady wore sea-blue-colored armor and she was tall and pretty.

However, unlike other ladies, this lady was not elegant and delicate but was full of power. Along with the armor she wore, she appeared to be like a pretty boy who exuded a strong aura of dominance.

As she took a few steps forward, she quickly arrived at the grounds.

“Greetings to Second Princess!”

“Greetings to Second Princess!”

“Greetings to Second Princess!”

The crowd immediately stood up and bowed to the blue-armored lady. Many people wore a fanatical look in their eyes.

The Second Princes, Gu Feifei had a high reputation and status in the Imperial Ancestor Court Faction. She was even more popular than the three princes.

This was firstly because she was a princess, and secondly because she was pretty. A beauty to many. Thirdly, she was highly talented and strong. She was no weaker than her brothers.

These three points gave testimony to her status as a special lady whom many young men looked up to.

Su Mo was interested in the lady. That was because the lady had a strange quality to her, and she was highly unusual.

“I am honored to invite everyone to my 90th birthday. You all have enlivened my garden and I will thank all of you with three cups of wine!”

The Second Princess walked to the highest main seat and looked down on the crowd. As her voice boomed out, she appeared to be like a majestic eagle.

With that, the Second Princess gulped down three cups of win straight.

“The Second Princess is indeed frank and straightforward!”

“I will toast to the Second Princess later!”

“Thank you for the hospitality, Second Princess!”

Numerous people in the crowd spoke out and raised their glasses and toasted the Second Princess.

On the other hand, Su Mo did not follow the crowd but he sat on his seat and calmly watched the scene.

In his opinion, the banquet was just scenery to him.

“Everyone, please take your seats!”

Once everyone toasted their cups, the Second Princess gestured for everyone to sit before she sat down on her own chair
