Transmigrated Scoundrel's Exchange System

As the banquet continued, the guests indulged in the magnificent feast laid before them, marveling at the culinary mastery on display. Conversations and laughter filled the air as the attendees enjoyed their time together, celebrating the royal patriarch's return and the power and influence of the Yin country. The night seemed destined to be one filled with merriment and unforgettable memories.

The royal patriarch addressed the audience, his voice carrying across the banquet hall with ease. "I heard there are many talents joining the tournament this time. Our guest envoys and I would certainly like to see the skill and talents of the new generation."

The envoys of various countries nodded in agreement with the patriarch emperor's statement, eager to witness the prowess of the young talents.

And so, the talent show began once again, with the gifted youths showcasing their skills for the royal patriarch and the envoys from other nations. As the performances unfolded, Han Cai found himself growing increasingly bored. He had seen all of these talents before and felt as if he were rewatching a TV show he had already seen. Instead of paying attention to the talent show, he decided to indulge in the delicious food that surrounded him.

As the talent show continued, the young performers took their turns once again, impressing the royal patriarch and the envoys with their extraordinary skills. Fei demonstrated her remarkable archery abilities, Yu Jian performed his exquisite sword dance, Lei showcased his mastery of thunder arts, Feng captivated the audience with his wind arts, and Prince Wei awed everyone with his rare spatial talent.

Soon, most of the talent show was over, and everyone's gaze turned toward Han Cai. It was his turn to showcase his talent. Knowing the drill, Han Cai rose from his seat and walked to the center of the platform. He bowed respectfully to the emperor and then began to consider which piece of poetry he should recite this time.

From his vast treasure trove of knowledge, Han Cai was torn between three classic poems: Humpty Dumpty, Baa Baa Black Sheep, and Jack and Jill. As he contemplated his choice, the entire banquet hall fell silent, waiting for him to begin.

Finally, Han Cai made his decision. Clearing his throat, he was about to recite the poem he had chosen when he was suddenly interrupted by a voice. The voice belonged to none other than the mother empress.

"So you are the spawn of that Sky Soaring Sect?" she bellowed.

Han Cai was taken aback by the sudden outburst of the old lady. Soon, he realized why she was so angry; it must have been because of the deceased cultivator in green who had become his trading points.

The empress's mother continued her tirade, "Your Sky Soaring Sect had the gall to partner with another family and hurt an elder from my Shang? You ungrateful bunch! We let you stay in the Yin country; you should be thankful for that. Today, I need answers from your sect. If you cannot give me answers, heads will roll today. I will make sure your Sky Soaring Sect ceases to exist."

The entire banquet went quiet. People started muttering, be it the guests, aristocrats, cultivator families, or the general audience outside the perimeter.

Many sects, besides the Sky Soaring Sect, had amused smiles on their faces. They were sure that today would mark the end of the Sky Soaring Sect. The empress's mother had announced it publicly; if the emperor did not agree to her demands, the whole royal family would lose face. The Cui and Wang families, who were aligned with the Sky Soaring Sect, sweated buckets. The moment the royal family took action, they would be in big trouble. Not only would they lose their biggest sponsor, but they would also be punished by the royal family.

The Frost Peak Sect and the Divine Wind Sect were the happiest, as the Sky Soaring Sect was their main competitor. Now they would get to divide the whole area of the Sky Soaring Sect between themselves.

Mother Empress continued her rant, "You pathetic bunch think that just because you got some medium-sized mine, you can disrespect the royal family's rule. Today, this mother will teach you all what happens if anyone disrespects the royal family. I will make sure every elder of the sect is killed, and all the disciples of the sect are branded as traitors to Yin."

The sect master, who was sitting by the side, had his face turn white. He got up and bowed before speaking, "Your Majesty, this..."

Before he could complete his sentence, the empress interrupted him, "You are the sect master of the Sky Soaring Sect. No wonder an idiot sect has an idiot for a sect master. How could a weak fool like you become a sect master? You must be the most incompetent sect master in the history of the cultivation world! Did the Sky Soaring Sect run out of talent, or did they lose a bet to end up with a disgrace like you leading them? Your mere presence tarnishes the reputation of the sect. You're like a walking calamity, a pitiful excuse for a cultivator. Your ineptitude is legendary. I'm genuinely surprised that you haven't managed to destroy your own sect with your sheer incompetence. It's amazing how you even manage to breathe, let alone lead a sect. No wonder your sect is doomed with a clueless buffoon like you at the helm."

She continued her rant, insulting the sect master and the Sky Soaring Sect.

Suddenly, a voice thundered, "SHUT THE HELL UP, YOU OLD HAG."

The whole banquet froze as if the whole space were sealed. No one was able to move or speak.

Han Cai, standing in the center of the banquet, moved forward. He walked slowly as if he was strolling through a park.

He spoke, "Do you know the problem with old hags like you? Do you think you own this world? I understand your anger, but how dare you try to insult the master in front of his disciple. "
