Chapter 835: The Most Elite Group Miao Qi was at a complete loss for words. She dared not take on the crime of disrespecting the coronation patterns. She had put a lot of effort and money into the spirit qi clothes that she was wearing. She had done this to make herself seem more esteemed, but it had backfired on her instead. The meeting that was taking place in the main area of the Midnight Palace was about to end. In order to prevent further commotion from taking place in the inner area of the Midnight Palace, You Zhe quickly walked up to Wang Fuxiang and bowed to her before saying, “Lordess, the meeting in the main area is about to end. Miao Qi has broken the Guard Ye Banquet’s rules by disrespecting the coronation patterns. I will eject her from the premises so the Guard Ye Banquet can proceed smoothly. I will inform the leader of the Miao family of this incident and ensure that they make it up to you.” Although You Zhe knew about Wang Fuxiang and the Bamboo Monarch, he did not have to address her as Lordess. Since Xia Chen had branded Wang Fuxiang with the title of the mistress of the Purple Bamboo Forest, You Zhe now had to address her as Lordess even though Bamboo Monarch had not personally confirmed Wang Fuxiang’s identity. You Zhe felt that Miao Qi deserved the consequences she was facing. The Bamboo Monarch would certainly learn about this incident. He had already been irked by Miao Qi’s repeated attempts to court him as well as Connected Beast Park’s hinting. Even if the Bamboo Monarch decided to look upon this incident of Miao Qi insulting Wang Fuxiang kindly, he would still end up unleashing his fury on Connected Beast Park. Wang Fuxiang was not an unreasonable person, and she had to have her reason for targeting Miao Qi. There was no way that Wang Fuxiang would rebuke You Zhe, and she never intended to disrupt the Guard Ye Banquet in the first place. “Sorry for the inconvenience, Manager You,” said Wang Fuxiang. Wang Fuxiang turned and walked toward Zhang Yingying so they could talk and catch up. Xia Chen followed behind Wang Fuxiang. At that moment, Li Changlin met Xia Chen’s eyes. Li Changlin casually winked at Xia Chen, and the latter immediately flushed as he suppressed his anger.?Damn Li Changlin! How are you still so annoying as a middle-aged man? Xia Chen purposely turned his head away from Li Changlin. When he saw Li Changlin, Xia Chen could not help but think back to when they were children, and Li Changlin had shaved Xia Chen’s head before ordering him to use his spiritual power to fry an egg on his head. Li Changlin had even complained that Xia Chen’s spirit qi was so weak that the egg did not taste good. What a bully! Regardless, Miao Qi was a pinnacle Class 4 Creation Master, so You Zhe did not use force on her. Miao Qi followed You Zhe out of the Midnight Palace through a special tunnel. As they walked, Miao Qi tried to strike up a conversation with You Zhe several times, but he did not entertain her at all. Miao Qi thought,?It’s already a done deal that I’m being chased out of the Guard Ye Banquet. I’ll inevitably be punished when I return home. I can only hope that Miao Zhuo does well and wins one of the top three positions at the Arts Stage. At least, that’ll earn Connected Beast Park some glory. She thought back to the advice she had given Miao Zhuo and felt that he should have no problem winning one of the top three spots at the Arts Stage since he had the item she had given him. The main events of the Guard Ye Banquet were the Martial Stage and Martial Arts Stage. Most Creation Masters had impressive fighting abilities. Thus, most people who even had a shadow of a chance would choose to participate in the Martial Arts Stage to prove themselves. The younger generation without Creation Master powers but had strong fighting abilities would participate in the Martial Stage. As a result, the Arts Stage became the weakest of the three Stages. Miao Zhuo was already a pinnacle Class 3 Creation Master. The precious item that his father had given him to protect his soul could also enable the soul to be used in the concoction of spirit fluids for a short amount of time. A look of ease came over Miao Qi’s face. … After Zuo Ming picked up the unconscious Miao Zhuo and left the Midnight Palace, Gao Feng patted Lin Yuan’s shoulder forcefully and said, “Damn, Lin Yuan, what’s up with you? Why didn’t you tell me about your identity?” Gao Feng’s actions made Long Tao, Li Xuan, and Liu Jie’s eyelids twitch. Liu Jie would have made another move if anyone else had hit Lin Yuan’s shoulder so forcefully. However, Liu Jie knew about the relationship between Gao Feng and Lin Yuan. Whenever Gao Feng was with Lin Yuan, he would slap Lin Yuan’s shoulder constantly. Lin Yuan laughed and said, “You didn’t ask.” Lin Yuan really liked Gao Feng’s true personality as he was always forthright and straightforward. Even when Gao Feng called him, Lin Yuan would listen to Gao Feng complain about the expansion of his faction and the things that happened in his life with a vexed face. However, he was never bored because of how honest Gao Feng was. Frankly, Lin Yuan had not intended on revealing his identity to Gao Feng, and the latter also had not asked. When Gao Feng heard what Lin Yuan said, he rolled his eyes in a way that seemed to say, “I want to know now, tell me now.” Lin Yuan looked around and pointed at an empty area not far off, and said, “Why don’t we sit there and chat. We can have something to eat too.” By the time Lin Yuan and Liu Jie had arrived, it was already 6:00 p.m., and they had not had time to have dinner. Lin Yuan was starting to get hungry. Soon, Liu Jie would have to participate in the Martial Stage and Lin Yuan the Arts Stage. They could not participate in such serious competitions on empty stomachs. Long Tao, Li Xuan, Liu Jie, Gao Feng, and Lin Yuan walked to the empty area. Everyone around wanted to follow the group but dared not take a step. They had all seen what had happened to Miao Zhuo, and taking a step forward now might be seen as an insult that would result in them also being thrown out. Sun Ningxiang walked up to Lin Yuan and whispered into his ear, “Hello, we meet again. I didn’t expect you to look so young without your mask.” Lin Yuan raised his eyebrows and looked at Sun Ningxiang’s expression of certainty. He was about to deny what she said but said instead, “Why don’t we go over there to chat?” Sun Ningxiang’s eyes lit up. The group consisting of Lin Yuan, Liu Jie, Long Tao, Li Xuan, and Gao Feng was the most elite one currently standing outside the Midnight Palace.
