Master Mu's sudden remark caused the displeased Emperor Longteng to be taken aback.
Even Empress Feng and the Third Prince, who were about to fan the flames, were stunned.
Tonight, the Third Prince only invited Sikong Ran and Bai You.
However, Emperor Longteng had also specially invited this Master Mu, and from what the Emperor implied, this person was of no ordinary status and a very formidable figure.
Moreover, from the way he acted, Emperor Longteng's attitude towards Master Mu was even more favorable than towards Sikong Ran and Bai You.
Hearing his words, Emperor Longteng immediately went from anger to joy.
"Little Qi is blessed to receive Master Mu's favor; it truly is a boon for Longteng Country. Come, Master Mu, I toast to you."
Between the lines, there was no trace of reproach towards Xin Zhuo, which was evident from Emperor Longteng's affectionate change of address from Little Xinzhuo to Little Qi.
