Luo Yiyi did not fall for Jing Yaoxi's malicious provocation. She tossed the carp jade pendant casually, as if it was an ordinary ornament.

"First of all, this magic treasure is a custom-made item. The owner's essence and blood were integrated into it when it was made. Secondly, do you think any random person can activate the sword energy of the Sword Master without being backfired?"

When she said this, the others immediately understood.

The sword energy of the First Sword Master is not so easy to control. Unless the master is willing, anyone who is touched by this sword energy will die.

For some reason, Jing Yaoxi still refused to give up and still remained suspicious of Luo Yiyi.

"You said that this contained the sword energy of the First Sword Master, but words are not enough, how can you prove it?"

Luo Yiyi stared at him for a long while, and suddenly smiled when he looked calm on the outside but was actually panicking on the inside.

"I can prove it. Do you want to see it? But you will have to bear all the consequences. Do you dare?"

Jing Yaoxi was stunned and agreed immediately.

"Sure! As long as no one's life is harmed, if you can prove that the sword energy sealed inside is that of the First Sword Master, then I will bear all the consequences. This is not an empty promise. City Lord Sun and everyone present here can testify to this!"

"That's no problem. I'm happy to let you all open your eyes today."

After saying that, Luo Yiyi gently tossed the carp jade pendant upwards. The jade pendant emitted a faint white light as it rose. After the jade pendant fell, she stretched out a finger and lightly but steadily tapped the center of the jade pendant.

In an instant, the entire jade pendant flashed with light, and a sword energy suddenly emanated from the mouth of the carp at the top.

The sword energy was not large in scale, but the tremendous power contained in it, as if it could destroy the world, almost made the hearts of those present stop beating.

Everyone froze in place, staring blankly at the sword energy penetrating the roof above at the speed of a meteor.

With a series of "crackling" sounds, cracks began to radiate from the inside to the outside of the roof from where the sword energy passed through. Before everyone could react, the next second the roof began to quickly turn into powder from the middle, revealing the moonless night sky behind it.

The powder fluttered down and was then blown away by the breeze. All that was left was a bare-walled scene and ten figures standing stiffly in it.

After turning around and finding that everyone around her was in a daze, Luo Yiyi blinked and decided to speak up to break the deadlock.

"How is it? Do you believe that this sword energy belongs to the Sword Master now? In fact, different fighting styles will also produce different effects. It took me a long time to master it."

Jing Yaoxi was the first to come back to his senses. He withdrew his shocked gaze from the starry sky above and looked at Luo Yiyi again with less suspicion and more vigilance in his eyes.

Then, to everyone's surprise, he actually took a step back, raised his hands, bent down, and bowed respectfully to Luo Yiyi.

"Miss Luo must be an extraordinary person in Tianyan Sect. I was rude to you for your suspicions before. I hope you will forgive me."

Just when everyone was still surprised by Jing Yaoxi's behavior, they didn't expect that the next moment the city lord Sun Mingyuan hurriedly walked to Jing Yaoxi and bowed respectfully to Luo Yiyi like him.

"Sun apologizes to Miss Luo on behalf of Luoyang City. I hope Miss Luo will forgive us for our impoliteness."

Luo Yiyi blinked, and for the first time clearly realized that only the supreme status brought by absolute strength can gain respect from everyone. Although this may be a bit like a fox taking advantage of the tiger's power, why not take advantage of the shortcut she may have taken?

Putting away the carp jade pendant, Luo Yiyi put her hands behind her back and raised her chin high.

"Since you apologize sincerely, I will show my mercy and forgive you. Let's continue the celebration party and don't waste any more time."

"Yes!"

Jing Yaoxi stood up and gave Sun Mingyuan a wink.

Sun Mingyuan's eyes flashed, and he suppressed the doubts in his heart. He waved to the guard disciples who had gathered outside the door because the roof disappeared, indicating that everything was fine, and then announced the official start of the banquet.

The maids who had been prepared long ago came in one after another with delicious dishes. They served the dishes carefully and left quickly. The whole process was orderly.

After the first round of dishes were served, several dancers walked in from outside and started dancing to the music in the corner. The atmosphere on the scene suddenly warmed up, and even the wind blowing overhead could not affect the excitement below.

After the dance ended, the dancer quietly left the stage. Sun Mingyuan picked up the wine glass and stood up from his seat. He wanted to toast again, but he caught a glimpse of Luo Yiyi's empty wine glass. His brows twitched and he decisively put the glass down.

"Everyone, due to an uncontrollable accident, the Oiran Parade has been temporarily cancelled. However, the prizes that Luoyang City has prepared for you must not be missed."

As soon as he finished speaking, ten maids walked in one after another from outside the door, each of them holding a tray covered with a dark cloth.

Ten maids stood in turn at the upper left corner of each beauty's seat and bowed towards Sun Mingyuan.

Sun Mingyuan walked down the stage again and came to the table of Yuan Mei, who was ranked tenth. Yuan Mei stood up with great trepidation and looked at Sun Mingyuan a little uncomfortably.

"City Lord Sun."

"Miss Yuan, congratulations on becoming the tenth beauty in this year's Oiran Contest. On behalf of Luoyang City, I present you this gold-inlaid pearl and gemstone Ruyi pattern hairpin."

As Sun Mingyuan spoke, he lifted the cloth on the tray in the hand of a maid beside him, revealing an exquisite hairpin lying quietly underneath. The pearls and gems shone brightly under the candlelight around them.

He held the hairpin in both hands and handed it solemnly into Yuan Mei's open palm, satisfied with her surprised expression.

Yuan Mei really liked this hairpin, not only because of its rare value but also its rare material and shape. Her voice trembled with excitement as she thanked him.

"Thank you, thank you, City Lord!"

Sun Mingyuan smiled and nodded, then turned to the table of the eighth beauty and presented her with an exquisite and rare ornament.

Looking at the smiles of surprise that could not be concealed on the faces of every woman who received a prize, it can be confirmed that Luoyang City has really put 100% of its heart into the Oiran Contest. Even the prizes prepared have taken into account both beauty and practicality. When people outside know about it tomorrow, it will also be an invisible advertisement, and the next round of participants will be more enthusiastic.

Finally it was Luo Yiyi's turn. She stood up and looked at the tray covered with a cloth. Although she already knew what the prize was, she still couldn't resist her curiosity.

"Miss Luo, congratulations on becoming the most worthy oiran of this year's oiran competition. On behalf of Luoyang City, I present you this pair of gold bracelets inlaid with double dragons playing with pearls."

The covering cloth was lifted, revealing two golden bracelets lying on the tray. There was a golden dragon hovering on each bracelet, and a huge pearl was inlaid in the dragon's mouth. Judging from the color, it can be known that it is extremely rare and it is no exaggeration to say that it is priceless.

The most important thing is that the two pearls are exactly the same in size and quality, and there is absolutely no difference at all. This is a rare spectacle in the world.

Sun Mingyuan took the two bracelets with both hands and handed them to Luo Yiyi, and added something.

"These bracelets are from the same mother. The two pearls on them come from the same mother shell. It is said that if two people wear these bracelets separately, they will be able to communicate with each other."

Luo Yiyi took the bracelet and looked at it carefully. Then she raised her head, her expression full of doubt.

"Isn't this right?"
