BXBX NOVEL Chapter 125 Banquet II
Back at the banquet, hearing the commotion made the royals more curious about this new young master, who stood out in the middle of all the good-looking aristocrats and families of Yin country. They started asking courtiers by their sides for information about Han Cai. Who was this guy, and why was he receiving so much respect from two young masters of top prominent families in Yin country?
As the other princes were attempting to learn more about Han Cai, one of the princes took a more direct approach. That was none other than Tian, Prince. He headed right towards Han Cai and the two young masters.
Prince Tian was a young man in his early twenties with a tall and lean build. He had sharp facial features, a prominent nose, and thin lips. His dark hair was styled in a sleek, swept-back look, and his almond-shaped eyes were a deep brown color.
Despite his royal status, Prince Tian\'s appearance was not particularly striking compared to the other young men at the banquet. His looks were decent, but he couldn\'t compare to the mesmerizing beauty of Han Cai. Nonetheless, he walked with confidence and a certain air of authority, making it clear that he was used to commanding attention.
When Prince Tian reached their table, both Cui Wei and Wang Jie got up and went forward to greet the prince. Prince Tian gave Han Cai a curious look as to why the third person did not greet him and realized Han Cai was not looking at him and was busy saying something to his attendant behind him.
Han Cai was actually telling Yongnian that he should try the spirit wine too. It was free, and the royal family was very generous, so he should take advantage of the situation.
In truth, Han Cai was not interested in interacting with the royal prince; to avoid such situations, he had brought Yongnian. But just like the other two young masters, Prince Tian was persistent and did not leave after greeting the two young masters. Han Cai had no choice but to turn around and show interest in the conversation going on between two young masters and Prince Tian.
Prince Tian asked them if they were prepared for the tournament or if they needed his assistance in anything.
Seeing Han Cai turn around, Prince Tian looked at him.
Noticing Prince Tian\'s look. Wang Zhen was the first to speak, "Forgive us, prince, for not introducing you to our brother. This is Brother Han Cai. He is a disciple of the Sect Master of the Sky Soaring Sect; he is only sixteen but has already reached core formation cultivation. Brother Han is the most talented among us, the young generation. Calling him heaven-defying talent would be an understatement."
Then he turned to Han Cai and spoke, "Brother Han, Your Highness is Prince Tian. His highness is the fourth prince of our Yin and also a cultivator of the golden core realm. He is also one of the pillars of our yin country. His highness handles most diplomatic works for our country."
Han Cai greeted Prince Tian.
When the prince heard that Han Cai was only sixteen and had reached the core formation, his eyes lit up. This was a real talent. From the way that the two young masters respected Han Cai, prince Tian had a clear understanding of how talented and important Han Cai was.
Prince Tian spoke, "A sixteen-year-old core formation cultivator—that is very amazing, brother Han. Is this your first time in the royal capital?"
The two young masters noticed Prince Tian calling Han Cai brother, but when he addressed them, he used their names.
The message they were attempting to communicate to Prince Tian, was heard loud and clear by Prince.
Han Cai also understood the message. They told the prince that Han Cai was a talent like no other they could afford to offend the prince but not Han Cai. Their parents were very clear about how important Han Cai was.
There were four more princes, and chances were the first prince would become the next emperor, so even if they offended him, the fourth prince couldn\'t do much to hurt them. But Han Cai was only a disciple of sect master Sky Soaring Sect, the sole heir of the sect, and he had talent that was heaven-defying. Han Cai was their priority. This was why they gave introductions to Han Cai first. In general, in social meetings in Yin country, the person with more respect is introduced first so the other party does not offend the first party.
They were asking the prince to give Han Cai enough respect, even if he was a prince.
None of the princes of the royal family were idiots. Hearing their words, the fourth prince, being a good diplomat, understood their message loud and clear.
When the prince asked If it was his first time in the royal capital, instead of answering, Han Cai just nodded and did not speak.
Cui Wei felt Han Cai\'s not speaking might offend the prince.
Cui Wei spoke instead of Han Cai, "I hope your highness doesn\'t misunderstand brother Han. Brother Han is a man of few words. He is also new to the capital; it is his first time at a royal banquet ."
Prince Tian shook his head, showing he did not mind. He spoke again with sincerity, "Since brother Han is our guest, as a host, I feel uncomfortable having brother Han sit in a corner like this. Why not, brother Han join me at my table? Until Father Emperor arrives."
Both young masters looked at Han Cai, waiting as if it were his call. Seeing that the prince was being sincere, Han Cai nodded.
The prince gestured for them to follow him. Han Cai nodded and followed the prince. Both young masters waited for Han Cai to move forward, then they followed behind him, and behind them was Yongnian, who followed quietly.
The situation seemed as if Prince Tian was Han Cai\'s first attendant, clearing a path for him while his three attendants followed behind him.
Soon they arrived at the table where Prince was sitting. The prince made his attendants arrange three more chairs beside him and made Han Cai sit beside him. Han Cai sat quietly there and got back to sipping wine.
