In order to allow the subjects who came to pay homage to the king to enjoy themselves together, the banquet was held in the square in front of the dynasty, and His Majesty attended together with officials, nobles, and subjects from various departments.

Mo Heng sat on a high platform near the temple at the back of the square. The governor and priests came in from the gate one after another and then sat on both sides of the square.

All the subjects watched as their king personally led a young man in high priest attire onto the stage and sat him at his right hand.

During the more than ten years that Mendo II succeeded to the throne, he held no less than ten such grand banquets. Every time, the high priest sat in the audience with them.

Now, the high priest could actually sit at the same height as His Majesty, and the subjects began to re-evaluate Chu Yun's status in their hearts.

On one side of the square, in the ranks of the lower-ranking tribes, the governor and the priest of one tribe exchanged glances. The priest tried to persuade the governor to change his mind with his eyes, but the governor shook his head. The priest frowned, but could do nothing about it. Then, the two of them lowered their heads again.

Each tribe came forward in turn to present congratulations and carefully prepared gifts to the king. The large tribes paid their respects first, followed by the small tribes.

"The Taiyi tribe wishes your majesty good health and has found a treasure to present to you." When the first batch of visits was about to end, a governor dressed in aristocratic clothes stepped forward to congratulate. Then, the guards pushed up something about a person tall and covered with linen.

Chu Jun sat on top, watching what looked like a cage being pushed up, and thought it was an animal offering, and he couldn't help but feel curious. Mo Heng, standing by, saw something was up and frowned slightly.

The governor below never looked up at the king's face from beginning to end, so naturally he did not notice His Majesty's slight displeasure.

The cloth was lifted up, and inside the cage was a young man who had been carefully dressed. The young man looked very young, but his features were delicate and beautiful, and his fragile and sympathetic appearance made people feel pity.

"Bang" the sound of hands hitting stones came from above.

The man next to him seemed to be furious. He slammed his hands on the armrests of the throne and gripped them tightly, his veins bulging, but his face remained expressionless, making him difficult to understand.

"Swish, swish" everyone stood up and knelt down towards the platform. There was silence for a while, and one could even hear the sound of wine swaying in the glasses.

The official next to the wine glass was instantly soaked with cold sweat. He knelt even lower and prayed that the emperor would not vent his anger on him.

Everyone else was afraid of the furious king, except Chu Yun, of course.

What a joke! From childhood to adulthood, Mo Heng has never lost his temper with Chu Jun or said a harsh word to him. Even if they had a fight, Mo Heng would just sulk in a place where Chu Jun didn't know. Chu Jun was always the one favored by Mo Heng, and he was fearless.

Looking at the man beside him with a strong aura, Chu Jun felt curious and suddenly felt that Mo Heng in this world also had a unique flavor.

Time seemed to have stopped, and no one spoke up to take the initiative. His Majesty also remained silent, staring at the nobles in the audience, wondering what he was thinking.

"Your Majesty, if you are not satisfied, let him take the man away. Today is your birthday and the banquet must continue." A clear and gentle voice came from the stage. Chu Jun finally had enough of the man's angry look and decided to break the deadlock.

The young man in the cage was trembling all over and almost fainted. When he heard Chu Jun's voice, he felt as if he had returned to the world from hell. The sound of nature was probably just like this.

The young boy's eyes looked up uncontrollably, trying to see the high priest's face clearly.

Now everyone's attention was focused on the floor tiles beneath them, and no one noticed his overstepping behavior.

All the words about holiness and beauty seemed to be created for him. Even if he only saw the corners of the high priest's mouth and jawline, the boy could imagine how holy and pure he must be.

The boy in the cage lowered his eyes and forgot to tremble. He only remembered the stunning glimpse he had just had. The young boy had never seen such a beautiful person.

Only such a person can be called a messenger of God and should be on an equal footing with Your Majesty. Now I am sitting in a cage like a joke.

Back to Mo Heng. Ever since the Taiyi tribe pushed the cage up, Mo Heng had nearly torn the armrests apart to avoid appearing terrifying in front of Chu Jun.

The people of the Taiyi tribe really couldn't understand the atmosphere. They actually wanted to present a beauty to them, and put her in a golden cage, and in front of Chu Jun, they spoke out to stop the ignorant nobles in the audience.

While Mo Heng was thinking about what he could do to make him suffer all the pain in the world, he was also worried that he would leave a bad impression on Chu Yun.

For millennia, legend has circulated that the Sun God's messenger is the Golden Crow, the sun's golden crow. Whenever the Golden Crow descends upon the earth, it favors a golden cage and glittering jewels, often resting and lingering within it. Therefore, for thousands of years, regardless of the successive dynasties, every altar site would be equipped with a pure gold cage to welcome the arrival of the divine messenger.

Of course there are some in the royal city, but when Mo Heng saw the beautiful boy for the first time, he subconsciously thought that he should not stay in a small cage. He should be free and happy. If he wants to live in a golden cage, it should be a cage that can cover the entire dynasty.

The Taiyi tribe below is really bold and presumptuous. Putting a mortal in a golden cage is not only challenging the bottom line of faith, but also trampling on Mo Heng's bottom line.

At this time, the noble governor of the Taiyi tribe came to his senses and regretted not listening to the priest's advice.

Your Majesty has not taken a concubine or a queen since he ascended the throne, and he has no close friends around him. Until two days ago, a young man took over the position of high priest, and rumors spread around him.

Some said the boy was a divine messenger sent by heaven, and that he was worthy of the title of high priest. Some said they had seen the divine messenger from afar before he entered the royal city, and that he was a beautiful boy, one of the most beautiful in the world. Others said he was just an ordinary man, who probably used his beauty to seduce His Majesty...

The governor, who had heard too many rumors, immediately had evil thoughts. Perhaps His Majesty was attracted by the beauty of the so-called messenger of God.

Your Majesty should have experienced the sweetness of love by now. If the Taiyi tribe can offer His Majesty a beautiful and thoughtful woman before other tribes, then the tribe's future development will not be a problem. Coincidentally, a while ago, a patrol team found a young boy who had lost his memory. He was beautiful and well-behaved. The governor felt that this was an opportunity bestowed upon the Taiyi tribe by God.

This morning at the altar, I was too far away to see the High Priest's true face. Now, at the banquet, all I could see was his thick, dark hair and his robes, which were far more luxurious than ever before. When the High Priest sat on the altar with the others, the Governor hesitated, and the priests tried to dissuade him. However, it was his own stubbornness and willfulness that led to the current situation. The Governor regretted it deeply.

"Since the high priest has pleaded for mercy, why don't you take your people and get out of here." The monarch on the throne soon pardoned the Taiyi tribe's sins and waved his hand to make them disappear from his sight.

The tribesmen who had escaped death without hesitation sat down in the far corner of the square, determined not to appear before His Majesty again. The surrounding smaller tribes quickly distanced themselves, fearing they would be implicated. Although His Majesty hadn't punished them, the Taiyi tribe's future would be difficult.

Of course, the young boy didn't dare stay in the cage any longer. As soon as His Majesty said "Get out," he hurried out of the cage and was escorted back to the Taiyi tribe's headquarters by the guards. The cage was taken away by the attendants and destroyed.

Although Mo Heng spared the Taiyi tribe because of Chu Jun's dissuasion, this incident made him realize that his current wishful thinking of wanting to possess the young man and spend his life with him was just one-sided. His beloved high priest might not care who else was around him, even in the future.

This realization made Mo Heng irritated.
