Lin Mu and the others watched as the hosts stood on tall stands.

"Everyone may we have your attention!" they called out. "As the banquet comes to a drawn, letters of appreciation will now be given to those that have been 'favored'."

~FLUTTER~

Lin Mu watched as the letters automatically flew out of the hands of the hosts. They flew around the palace and went to a different person.

"This is the part everyone has been waiting for." Lu Xu said.

~WHOOSH~

A letter flew towards them, making the eyes of everyone light up. But just as it was about to reach their table, the letter changed direction and went to another table that was near them. It fell into the lap of a cultivator that was sitting there.

He carefully picked it up and opened the letter, before reading its contents.

"Hahah! I've been picked by the Fourth Elder Secretary!" The man rejoiced.

To Lin Mu though, it was confusing.

"Fourth Elder Secretary? Is that a high position?" Lin Mu couldn't help but ask.

"Fourth Elder secretary is one of the ten secretaries that works for the emperor directly. He has access to a lot of information and holds sway in the court, of course it's a high position." Lu Xu explained in short.

They continued to watch as more and more letters flew around. Majority of the people had already gotten their letters after a couple of minutes.

"Some seem to have more than one letter." Lin Mu noticed.

"Ah, those are the ones that are truly favored. The nobles are willing to bet good on them. Thus it isn't unusual for them to receive multiple offers." Lu Xu answered.
