When Xiao Yi heard this, he chuckled, "Not really."

Empress Qinghan glanced at Xiao Yi and was slightly surprised, "If I remember correctly, in the past two days or so since my birthday banquet began, Commander Yi Xiao offered me a glass of wine when giving gifts at the beginning, and then again

Never touched the glass."

"Bai'er." Empress Qinghan asked in confusion, "Is Commander Yi Xiao a teetotaler?"

Xiao Bai scratched his head and said, "It seems that I rarely see Brother Yi drinking."

Empress Qinghan smiled, "Then I really have a long face."

"Commander Yi Xiao, who never drinks alcohol, would like to make an exception and offer a toast to me at my birthday banquet."

"The Empress' words are serious." Xiao Yi said seriously, "Xiao Bai and I have also trusted each other with our lives. Xiao Bai's mother, Yi Mou, respects her as an elder."

"Since it is the birthday banquet of the elders, the wine is turbid, so it is enough to be polite and it is not advisable to drink too much."

Empress Qinghan nodded with satisfaction, "Bai'er is lucky to have such a life-and-death acquaintance like you."

"The Empress is too praised." Xiao Yi said.

…

Another half day later.

Seeing the bored look in Xiao Yi's eyes, Xiao Bai pretended to burp and looked at Empress Qinghan, "Mom, I'm full after eating, so I'm going to take a walk with Brother Yi."

"Go." Empress Qinghan nodded.

Xiao Yi stood up and left.

The two of them were just strolling slowly in the palace gate square.

"Brother Yi seems a little absent-minded." Xiao Bai asked with a chuckle.

"It's okay." Xiao Yi chuckled.

"How long will this competition between geniuses last?"

Xiao Bai thought for a while and said, "It should take a few days."

"The people who came to attend my mother's birthday banquet this time, not counting the Four Gates, Five Mountains and Twenty-Two Stars, there are more than ten thousand ordinary powerful forces."

"There are many geniuses who come here."

"What happens after that?" Xiao Yi asked.

Xiao Bai replied, "The birthday party will be almost over."

Xiao Bai smiled apologetically, "I have made Brother Yi boring for so long in vain. We will leave then."

"That's good." Xiao Yi smiled, but asked without leaving any trace, "By the way, before setting off, when we were at the General Alliance, I heard you muttering to yourself that that guy Xiao Xinghe is not coming after all."

"I seem to have heard vaguely from Alliance Leader Xiao and Commander Xiao Yuan that at your mother's birthday banquet, your Xiao family's mother will also be present."

"I don't think I saw her."
