After understanding everything, Qin Hao returned to his usual self.
They arrived back at the palace just as dusk was setting in, after leaving Lanruo Temple.
Ye Lingyi led them into a banquet hall within the palace, where tables were arranged in neat rows. At the front was Ye Jingtian's seat, with another seat beside it for Ye Lingyi.
"Please take your seats," Ye Lingyi said to them.
Qin Hao and the others casually picked a table to sit at. The tables were for individual seating; Xian Yin took the table next to Qin Hao, while Ling'er sat with Qin Hao.
About three minutes later, Ye Jingtian entered from the back, and the food and drinks were served one by one.
Each person had a palace maid standing behind them who carefully poured them a cup of wine.
Raising his glass with a smile, Ye Jingtian said, "I toast to all of you, and wish you great success in the competition at the Southern Continent Heaven and Earth Academy."
