As the banquet progressed, various wonderful programs were performed one after another.

There are fairies dancing gracefully, like elves among flowers; there are fairies singing a song, with a melodious voice that penetrates the clouds and makes people intoxicated; there are also fairy magic performances that are dazzling and amazing.

Xueyao and her friends enjoyed the delicious food on the table while appreciating the wonderful performances, and exchanged their feelings and insights with each other from time to time.

However, behind the delicious food and laughter, Xueyao's heart was inexplicably rippled.

Her eyes swept across every corner of the banquet hall from time to time, as if she was looking for something, but also seemed to be just wandering unconsciously.

Her thoughts drifted away involuntarily. Xue Qingchen, he should be okay. After all, she was the one who brought him to the heaven, so Xue Yao was still a little worried.

But then I thought, since he is a strong man with an unfinished mission, he will be able to turn danger into safety, so there is no need to worry too much.

She shook her head gently, trying to put these distracting thoughts behind her and focus on the feast before her.

The banquet was in full swing, and various immortals took turns to perform on stage, reciting poems, painting, or singing and dancing. The entire banquet hall was filled with laughter.

"Xueyao, what's wrong? You look absent-minded." Suxin, who was sitting next to her, asked softly, her eyes full of concern.

Xue Yao came back to her senses and forced a smile, "Nothing, I just thought of an old friend." She shook her head slightly, not wanting this emotion to affect today's feast.

Seeing this, Su Xin didn't ask any more questions, but just silently held Xue Yao's hand, giving her silent support and comfort.

She knew that although Xueyao appeared strong on the outside, she also had a soft side on the inside, especially towards those companions who had fought side by side with her and experienced hardships together, for whom she had an inseparable friendship.

The banquet continued, and immortals from all walks of life came forward to toast and wish each other well.

At the banquet, a dazzling array of delicacies and exotic fruits filled the air. Xueyao and her companions savored the food, enjoying this rare moment of joy and relaxation. However, amidst the laughter and joy, Xueyao's heart remained tense. She knew that the true test might just be beginning.

The banquet officially reached its climax. A variety of heavenly music began to play, including passionate drum beats, lingering flute sounds, and the melodious guzheng music. Each piece seemed to evoke the deepest emotions in people's hearts.

Xueyao and her companions toasted in celebration, drinking this heavenly wine together. The wine, rich yet not greasy, carried a light fruity aroma, seemingly washing away worldly worries and leaving one feeling refreshed and refreshed.

At this moment, a sudden performance captivated everyone's attention. A group of fairies, dressed in colorful garments, danced gracefully in the air, their movements light and graceful, as if real fairies had descended to earth. As the dance progressed, the entire banquet hall seemed enveloped in a dreamy veil, transporting everyone to a bizarre world.

Xueyao and her friends were mesmerized by the performance and applauded for it. However, at this moment, an unexpected sound broke the silence of the banquet.

"My fellow immortals, today is the grand event of the Flower Banquet. We have specially prepared a small gift to show our respect." As he spoke, a man in a dark blue robe slowly walked into the banquet hall. His voice was low and powerful, revealing a majesty that could not be ignored.

As the man appeared, everyone's eyes were focused on him. In his hand, he was holding an exquisite jade plate covered with a layer of gauze, and it was faintly visible that the item hidden underneath was extraordinary.

"This is the treasure that has been passed down for thousands of years in our clan - the 'Heart of the Orchid'. Today I present it to the Palace of Flowers. May our clan and the Palace of Flowers be forever united and create brilliance together." After the man finished speaking, he gently lifted the veil, revealing the treasure in the jade plate.

It was a crystal-clear gem, emitting a faint blue light, as if it contained endless spiritual power and wisdom. The immortals present were all amazed at its beauty and preciousness, and cast admiring glances at it.

However, just as everyone was immersed in the stunning beauty of the Orchid Heart, a sudden sense of crisis quietly enveloped the entire banquet hall. A ghostly figure in black suddenly rushed out from the crowd and headed straight for the Orchid Heart.

"Protect the treasure!" With a cry of surprise, the banquet hall erupted in chaos. Immortals unleashed their magical powers, attempting to stop the man in black. However, he seemed prepared, his movements as agile and shifting as a ghost, easily dodging their attacks.

At this critical moment, Xueyao and her companions wanted to step forward. They had a tacit understanding with each other, and if they worked together to lay a series of formations and traps, successfully trapping the man in black should not be a problem.

But Xueyao changed her mind, retracted the foot she had stepped forward, and sat back in her original position.

Seeing this, Su Xin and her companions all stopped their momentum and looked at Xue Yao in confusion, waiting for her instructions. Xue Yao's eyes gleamed with a deep light, and she said in a voice transmission, "Everyone, please be patient. There may be something fishy going on here."

Her words were like a gentle breeze, easing the tense atmosphere slightly. Xue Yao stood up, her gaze piercing the chaotic crowd, directed at the man in black. She noticed that, despite his swift movements, he didn't seem to truly intend to seize the Heart of the Orchid. Instead, he seemed to be deliberately creating chaos.

"Perhaps, this is a test." Xue Yao thought to herself. She recalled some subtle changes in the heaven recently and the rumors about foreign forces ready to make moves.

She decided that instead of acting blindly, it would be better to wait and see what truth was hidden behind this sudden change.

So, she winked at her companions, signaling them to remain vigilant but not to act hastily. At the same time, she used her spiritual power to quietly and unnoticeably cast a protective barrier around the banquet hall, just in case any accomplices of the man in black took the opportunity to cause trouble.

At that moment, a woman in gorgeous immortal robes hurried into the banquet hall. She was none other than the Palace Master of Baihua Palace, who had earlier toasted the immortals. Her arrival immediately brought a great deal of quiet to the scene. Her dignified gaze swept across the room, finally landing on the man in black. She said in a deep voice, "Who are you, and how dare you cause trouble here?"

The man in black seemed undaunted. He paused and turned, revealing a face obscured by a black mask. Only a pair of deep eyes, seemingly able to see into people's hearts, remained. "I am a nameless individual, coming here to verify a single point." His voice was hoarse and deep, filled with mystery.

"What do you want to verify?" The Palace Master frowned, obviously wary of the identity and purpose of the man in black.

The man in black didn't answer directly. Instead, he turned his gaze to the Heart of Orchid and said slowly, "I've heard that the Heart of Orchid is a rare treasure in the world. It can see into people's hearts and distinguish true from false. I want to use this treasure to verify a person's heart."

The entire audience erupted in laughter as these words were spoken. The immortals discussed the matter, speculating on who the "one person" the man in black was referring to, and why he needed to verify their intentions in this way.
