Lei Ling Empire felt that it was quite interesting and confident.
Tang Jibo, Lei Feng or Pei An were all top talents that Zhuge Feng had commented on before. They were talents on the same level as Liu Qingyu. It was just that Liu Qingyu was very beautiful and had reached a higher level, so she was the most famous.
Lei Ling Empire had brought them here for a reason. It was because they wanted to compete with Nine States Empire in all aspects. Talent was also one of the aspects!
This might not bring any substantial benefits, but it could make those neutral people have a good impression of them. This good impression would have a certain effect on their choice.
However, Liu Qingyu and Zi Yanran of the Nine Continents Empire were so outstanding. If their Soaring Thunder Empire's poetry and literary prowess were inferior, wouldn't that tell the third party that the Nine Continents Empire was being exaggerated?
As for Ye Tianyi …
What kind of Jiba was he?
You are a person with great medical skills, how high can you be in poetry?
How old are you?
They only had to worry about one person, Liu Qingyu!
But Liu Qingyu comprehended the Dao through painting, not through poetry!
Even if she was powerful, she might not be able to crush the three top talents of Lei Ling Empire!
The three of them were chosen by the entire Lei Ling Empire. Lei Ling Empire had the initiative, so they could compete with Nine States Empire in all aspects. Nine States Empire could only respond!
They could prepare, Nine States Empire could only react on the spot.
There were only three people present who knew that Ye Tianyi's poetry was good. Chang Xi, Liu Qingyu and Zhuge Feng.
But those people weren't bad either.
At this time, Xiao Zhan stood up and smiled, "Nine Heavens Empress, Emperor Lei Ling Empire, there's no problem with composing poems. But I hope that before this, while everyone is eating, I can say something in front of everyone. I wonder if everyone agrees?"
Xiao Zhan's words didn't stop the composing of poems, so Lei Ling Empire naturally couldn't refuse. Moreover, Xiao Clan was a big clan. Xiao Zhan knew that Nine Heavens Empress and Emperor Lei Ling Empire would definitely fight for the right to support Xiao Clan. If he stood up and spoke, they would definitely agree!
Because whoever refused was obviously not giving Xiao Clan face. Xiao Clan was very likely to support the other side.
Chang Xi said, "It's fine, composing poems is fine anytime. It's not a particularly urgent matter."
Emperor Lei Ling Empire also nodded, "Master Xiao, if there's anything you want to say it."
Xiao Zhan then cupped his fist towards Chang Xi and said:
"It's like this. My son, Xiao Yi, has been in love with Xi Qianyu, the sworn sister of Empress Jiutian, for a long time. He even gave up countless resources of the Xiao Clan to cultivate in the Nine States Sacred Academy because he wanted to be closer to Xi Qianyu. So, I hope to formally propose marriage to Xi Qianyu on behalf of my son in the name of the Xiao Clan."
Everyone was speechless.
Ye Tianyi couldn't help but laugh in his heart. So this was Xiao Yi's idea.
He had to admit that Xiao Clan was very powerful!
Why?
Why didn't he ask for her hand in marriage earlier or later? Why did he have to ask for her hand in marriage now?
Nine Heavens Empress and Emperor Lei Ling Empire were fighting for the support of a third party. Xiao Clan was a very powerful third party, so both sides attached great importance to them.
Now that Xiao Zhan mentioned the marriage proposal, he gave Chang Xi the right to choose. If you agree, then my Xiao Clan will support your Nine Continents Empire. If you don't agree, then my Xiao Clan will support Lei Ling Empire!
Xiao Clan was a legendary clan. They couldn't be compared to the Immortal Sect, but they were stronger than the Eight Great Sects.
Moreover, Xiao Clan was supported by the clan, while the Immortal Sect was supported by individuals. Therefore, it was more worth it to rope in Xiao Clan than to rope in the Pope, the Evil Concubine, or the Moon God!
The support of a legendary clan was better than a single person from the Immortal Sect, right?
Chang Xi furrowed her brows.
At this moment, Xiao Yi stood out and said, "Your Majesty, I have admired Xi Qianyu for a long time. I hope that Your Majesty can give me a chance!"
After speaking, he took out his interspatial ring and took out the item inside!
"This is my Xiao Clan's betrothal gift."
In an instant, the spiritual energy in the surroundings rose.
Many people subconsciously stood up and looked at the nine-colored lotus in the sky.
"This is … Xiao Clan's treasure, the Sage Grade Nine-Colored Sacred Lotus!"
"This is the Nine-Colored Sacred Lotus?
A Sage Grade Spirit of Heaven and Earth is so terrifying! "
"This … Xiao Clan is actually using the Nine-Colored Sacred Lotus as a betrothal gift. They are really determined to succeed in their proposal. This sincerity is simply too great!"
"…"
Xi Qianyu frowned as well!
Over at Lei Ling Empire's side, Emperor Lei Ling and the others were panicking!
Nine Heavens Empress might not agree to the Xiao Clan's proposal, but what if they added the Nine-Colored Sacred Lotus as a betrothal gift?
As long as Nine Heavens Empress nodded her head, it would mean that the Xiao Clan would belong to Nine Heavens Empress!
Xiao Zhan said, "Everyone knows about the effects of the Nine-Colored Sacred Lotus. As a Sage Grade Spirit of Heaven and Earth, the Nine-Colored Sacred Lotus is still at the top. The Nine-Colored Sacred Lotus can help a Tenth Level Saint Monarch Realm expert break through to the Heavenly Dao Realm in a short period of time. This is also the reason why my Xiao Clan can become a legendary clan. Now, I am using the Nine-Colored Sacred Lotus as a betrothal gift. I hope that Your Majesty can consider it!
Fulfill my son's wish. "
The Xiao Clan's Tenth Level Saint Monarch Realm experts that could break through had already done so. This item was useless in a short period of time, so it was given to Nine Heavens Empress to form a marriage alliance between the two clans.
His Xiao Clan could use the Nine-Colored Sacred Lotus in the future, but to obtain the Nine Heavens Empire's support, to fulfill his son's wish, and to obtain a future Sword Saint, Moon Goddess, or Evil Concubine as a daughter-in-law, it was not a loss at all!
In everyone's eyes, this was definitely an extremely great temptation!
The Nine-Colored Sacred Lotus could help a Tenth Level Saint Monarch Realm expert break through to the Heavenly Dao Realm. In this world, there were very few Heavenly Dao Realm experts, but there were many Tenth Level Saint Monarch Realm experts. It was believed that be it the Nine Heavens Empire's royal family or the Thunder Soaring Empire's royal family, there would definitely be plenty of Tenth Level Saint Monarch Realm experts!
If this item was taken out, there would be a few more Heavenly Dao Realm experts for no reason. It would greatly increase the strength of the empire and increase their combat strength in the war between the two countries. At the same time, with the support of the Xiao Clan, how could Nine Heavens Empress reject it?
To be honest, Chang Xi was tempted.
Why?
To have the support of so many Heavenly Dao experts and the Xiao Clan, this was a clear opportunity to tide over the Nine Heavens Empire's crisis!
As long as she nodded her head, it would be enough!
And Chang Xi knew that Ye Tianyi and Xi Qianyu weren't a true couple, so … she was indeed hesitant.
Xi Qianyu glanced at Chang Xi before standing up and cupping her fists.
"Qianyu is willing."
