3 Celestial palace III

"Enough."

As the voice transmitted in the hall, a powerful blaze appeared between Ying and Yang. The young master couldn't help but stumble backwards, while Ying was flung towards her table, but was caught by her mother.

The one who intervened turned out to be Yang's father, the Fire High God Magma. He threw a disappointed glare at his son, before facing the Ice Clan.

"Please pardon my idiot son's manners, Ice High God Frost and Snow. He is still quite young and has yet to learn the etiquettes." The Fire High God gave a small bow to show his sincerity.

High Gods were all revered characters, since they were on the peak of the cultivation path. For a High God to actually lower himself or herself to bowing to anyone but the Celestial Emperor, required a lot.

Magma knew that the young God Ying was the loved child of Frost and Snow. If they felt offended by his son's rude actions, it could initiate a Clan War, which would cost many unnecessary lives.

Furthermore, the reason why they all gathered at the Celestial palace was to celebrate the Celestial Emperor's birthday. To cause a ruckus at such an important event could ignite his rage and also cost innocent lives. Thus the High God chose to humble himself for the greater good.

Seeing his father lower himself because of him, Yang felt ashamed. He just wanted to win for once against Ying. Since they didn't have many chances of meeting each other, Yang wanted to utilize this opportunity. He didn't think that it could cause this mess.

"What did we tell you before leaving the Fire Palace?" Yang's mother Ember walked up to her son and asked quietly.

"To not cause a ruckus." Yang whispered with his head lowered down.

"Next time you should listen to us, alright?" Yang's mother Ember reprimanded him sternly, causing him to nod in agreement. Satisfied with her son's answer, she hugged him and patted him softly on his back.

"Don't worry Fire High God. It was just a friendly fight between adolescents. No harm has been done, so there is no need to be this polite." Frost replied Magma after a while, which eased the tense atmosphere. His daughter was afterall the one who shined during their fight, so he wouldn't be petty about a brat who made himself a fool.

Suddenly, a high pitched voice sounded out.

"The Celestial Emperor and Empress have arrived!"
