Chapter 361 Yan Bingyue “They are the family heads of the five major families in the Longjiang Base City.” A representative from the government was making the introduction for the young lady and her companions. The young lady took a glance at the five family heads but showed no emotions. The elderly man who traveled with her looked at those sitting in the front row. A smile came into his eyes. “Is that King of Swords?” The three titled battle pet warriors from the government had no idea that the elderly had heard about Qin Shuhai’s title, or that he even knew about Qin Shuhai. “Yes.” One of the representatives of the government nodded. “He once wanted to go there to further his studies. Unfortunately, he wasn’t qualified enough.” The elderly chuckled but said nothing else. But what he did say was enough to startle the three government representatives. To further his studies? Not qualified enough? He was saying that Qin Shuhai had once gone there but was eliminated? The three didn’t pry further. With increased fear, they merely darted another glance at the young lady in the middle. If everything went well for the girl, she would probably become someone more terrifying than Qin Shuhai. They had approached their seats as they talked. The three titled battle pet warriors from the government were wearing smiles; they greeted the family heads and made the introductions. Those family heads probably knew about the new faces but they still had to go through the motions. “That is Dragon Knight, Yin Fengxiao. “He is the Rifle Devil, Zhao Wuji. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶 “This is Lady Yan, Yan Bingyue. “She is her maid, Xiao Ju.” Then, the three titled battle pet warriors of the government introduced the five family heads one by one. They started with Qin Duhuang. The introduction seemed casual but the order of the introductions was important and it couldn’t be altered. “Qin Duhuang? The one that I heard killed three ninth-rank beasts with one roar, the Raging Spirit, Qin Duhuang?” The elderly named Yin Fengxiao squinted and gazed at Qin Duhuang who appeared to be at his age. A grave look flashed past Yin Fengxiao’s eyes. The middle-aged man with a strong body, Zhao Wuji the Rifle Devil, was also wearing a serious expression. It was clear that he had heard about Qin Duhuang before. Qin Duhuang smiled. “That is merely a story from my past. Don’t mention it. Dragon Knight, I have heard so much about you. Come on and have a seat.” Yin Fengxiao didn’t say anything else to Qin Duhuang. He turned to the young lady. “Please.” Yan Bingyue nodded. After she heard Yin Fengxiao’s words, she sized the old man named Qin Duhuang up and down. The moment the two of them established eye contact, the coldness in her eyes faded away a bit. She nodded to him and then took her seat. She was sitting right next to Qin Duhuang. They sat as equals! As she sat down, those sitting in the row behind them took notice. Xu Kuang and Su Lingyue were both surprised. How could the girl who was about their age sit down as equal to the five family heads? Mu Yuanshou, Ye Longtian, and Qin Shaotian seemed to be aware of something, judging by the grave look on their faces. Yan Bingyue took her seat and Yin Fengxiao sat down next to her. The middle-aged man and her maid stood behind them. Every family was allotted two seats and the same applied for them. Each of the titled battle pet warriors from the government had a seat. That was a silent announcement that the government was the one ruling the Longjiang Base City! The other family heads took a look at Yan Bingyue and then at Yin Fengxiao. They had heard about the title of Dragon Knight a long time before. He was a person who had established fame across the Sub-continent District. The other family heads were upset since the Dragon Knight only talked to Qin Duhuang. Of course, they didn’t show it on their faces. They all knew what kind of person Qin Duhuang was. However, they didn’t understand why the Dragon Knight would pay so much attention to Qin Duhuang. It seemed that Qin Duhuang was hiding something else from them. “Lady Yan, why have you come to the Longjiang Base City’s Elite League? I believe no matter where you go, people will welcome you with great hospitality.” Not long after she took her seat, Liu Tianzong began to chat her up. Yan Bingyue replied with a silent frown. Yin Fengxiao knew her personality well. He answered the question for her. “You are the family head of the Liu Family, right? You may not know this but the elder member of Lady Yan’s family is a friend of your mayor. That is why we came to represent the Longjiang Base City.” Liu Tianzong was a bit embarrassed since another person answered his question. He was a family head after all. The young lady was indeed from a noble family. However, people say that even a mighty dragon would avoid attacking a snake in its own haunts. Besides, a guest should suit the convenience of the host. That was easy to understand. Did she need to be taught about such a custom? How could she ignore me like this? Was she this arrogant? That being said, Liu Tianzong did not throw a temper. The Liu Family was having a hard time as it was to deal with the Pixie Pet Store. They couldn’t afford to provoke this young lady. “Oh, I see.” Liu Tianzong showed a fake smile that appeared sincere. All of a sudden, he shook his head and heaved a sigh. “I’m so sorry that it’s not the best of times for Lady Yan to pay us a visit. We had a lot of talents emerge at this year’s Elite League. The ones who won places at the Top 5 in the past Elite Leagues wouldn’t have even made it to the Top 10 this year.” Of course, he was speaking of Liu Jianxin who failed to enter the Top 10. The other family heads were curious about his reaction. This Liu Tianzong is particularly active today! Why would you talk so much when none of the Liu family members is among the Top 5? Some had already developed a theory and they began to eye Liu Tianzong with a grin. Qin Duhuang found this amusing as well. “Really?” Yin Fengxiao raised his eyebrows upon hearing this. On the other hand, Yan Bingyu stayed as calm as usual, acting like she had not heard a word. “Mr. Liu, are you saying that Lady Yan cannot make it to the Top 5?” Qin Fengxiao stared at Liu Tianzong with his squinted eyes. The smile had faded a bit from the former’s face and the remaining expression appeared to be indifferent. “Of course not,” Liu Tianzong denied in a hurry, “I am well aware of what Lady Yan is capable of. She will make it to the Top 5. It will only be a little bit difficult. “There are two talents this year who have gotten battle pets from god knows where. The battles are fierce and can get easily out of control. Lady Yan, in the off chance that you encounter them, be sure to stay safe. This is just a match. Don’t get yourself hurt.” Yin Fengxiao almost burst into laughter out of extreme rage. Entering the Top 5 was hard? Encountering them? There was no telling who would be the unfortunate party! That guy is saying those words on purpose. He is trying to enrage us. Hmm, he wants to borrow a knife to kill a man but he’s aiming at the wrong target! Yin Fengxiao was angry but he hid it well. He could tell that Liu Tianzong was being deliberately ambiguous while harboring ill intentions, but there was nothing he could say. The five major families appeared to be hostile to each other but that could be bypassed when they were dealing with an outsider. Besides, they were only using the Longjiang Base City as a springboard and wouldn’t stay there for long. There was a chance that the other four major families would go after them together if they were to create trouble there. Liu Tianzong might have said those words because he knew Yin Fengxiao would have those concerns. Yin Fengxiao sneered but paid no more attention to Liu Tianzong. Liu Tianzong smiled to himself. Yin Fengxiao’s silence was an indication that he was offended. Yin Fengxiao may or may not tell that Liu Tianzong was provoking him on purpose. Either way, it worked. Yan Bingyue, who had said nothing till this point, suddenly made an announcement. Her voice was low and pleasant, like a chirping spring. “I am here for the champion. I won’t show mercy no matter who is in my way. I will say sorry in advance if I have to fight anyone from your families.” The family heads were startled. First, for her to actually speak out was a surprise to them. Second, she was too blunt and arrogant! She must have been offended by LiuTianzong! After seeing the reaction, the other four family heads turned their angry stares to Liu Tianzong. Hmm, no one in his family was at the Top 5 so he was trying to stir things up!
