Because Xia Qingyuan and Ye Futian had grown so close, and because Emperor Xia valued Ye Futian so much, everyone present knew one thing for certain. Ye Futian was being groomed for rule.
But then again, that was little more than a stray thought. Judging from talents displayed by Ye Futian so far, he would have no problem going to Renhuang Plane.
If he were to one day rule Emperor Xia's Realm, he might bring the realm to greater heights.
The mood of the banquet was great. Everyone was having the time of their life. It was some time after the banquet began that the emperor addressed the crowd. "Other than to welcome Qingyuan and Ye Futian home, I've invited all of you here for another matter. This is a matter for Ye Futian to tell you about, so I will excuse myself. Please go on without me."
The emperor got up and left. Everyone cupped their hands to send him off.
Their eyes turned back to Ye Futian after the emperor left.
