When Lin Yuan heard the way Chu Ci called Liu Jie, he could not help but think, She calls Liu Jie Big Brother Liu but calls her actual brother by his given name.
However, he was already used to this. After so many years together, Lin Yuan and Chu Ci had already found the most comfortable way to interact with each other.
Lin Yuan and Liu Jie opened their brocade boxes and were almost blinded by the s.h.i.+ning clothes inside.
Using True Data, Lin Yuan found out that more than 900 types of spiritual materials were on the clothes inside the box.
The Return from Faraway Mansion’s Submerged Flood Dragon Lake, bas.e.m.e.nt, and main building were all decorated opulently. But even if the entire Return from Faraway Mansion was sold, it would not even be worth one of the sleeves of the clothes inside the box.
The Mother of Bloodbath peered inside the boxes and exclaimed, “The Moonbeam Coronation and Night Clear Water Coronation Costume. Shouldn’t the Moon Empress and Chief Guard Ye be the ones to wear the Moonbeam Coronation Costume and Night Clear Water during an event like the Guard Ye Banquet?”
The Mother of Bloodbath had always known that Lin Yuan was the Moon Empress’s disciple, but it was only when the Spirit Guards’ right- and left-hand men arrived that the Mother of Bloodbath realized that Liu Jie was the Spirit Guard Chief’s disciple.
While the Mother of Bloodbath was surprised about Liu Jie’s new ident.i.ty, it always felt that both Liu Jie and Lin Yuan kept an extremely low profile.
The Mother of Bloodbath carefully studied the clothes that it had identified as the Moonbeam Coronation Costume and Night Clear Water Coronation Costume. A moment later, it became certain that its identification had been wrong.
They were just clothes made specifically for Lin Yuan and Liu Jie that were made out of the same materials as the Moonbeam Coronation Costume and Night Clear Water Coronation Costume.
These two sets of clothes did not have the patterns that signified the authority of the Moon Empress and Chief Guard Ye.
Other than this, the clothes were identical to the Moonbeam Coronation Costume and Night Clear Water Costume. It was no wonder that the Mother of Bloodbath had initially identified them to be so.
Even Wen Yu, who used to be a spirit attendant in the Radiant Moon Palace, wrongly a.s.sumed Lin Yuan’s brocade box clothes to be the Moonbeam Coronation Costume.
When they heard what the Mother of Bloodbath said, Lin Yuan and Liu Jie looked at each other.
The clothes in the brocade box were so decked out and intricate that it would not be convenient to wear them to compete in the stages.
Luckily, the Guard Ye Banquet only took place after the Arts Stage, Martial Stage, and Martial Arts Stage.
He could change into the clothes that his Master had sent him after the compet.i.tion was over.
Lin Yuan and Liu Jie stored the clothes away in Diamond brocade boxes and bade farewell to Wen Yu, Chu Ci, and the Mother of Bloodbath before they left the Return from Faraway Mansion and headed to the Midnight Palace.
Lin Yuan was going to declare his ident.i.ty at the Guard Ye Banquet, but he was in no rush to add on the t.i.tle of the Moon Empress’ disciple.
The Guard Ye Banquet would be Lin Yuan’s chance to interact with the younger generation of top factions. Even the Zheng family and Miao family, who were his enemies, would be in attendance.
There was no chance of him showing mercy as he crushed his enemies.
…
Beautiful paintings hung on the walls in a lovely house, the gems embedded in precious weapons placed around the house sparkled, and the bamboo garden outside jutted elegantly from the ground.
Inside Langya Pavilion, a woman’s head was lowered as she touched a stem of purple bamboo.
With her gaze lowered, her rose-like face had a guilty expression, and it was clear that the Defined Life earring that hung from her ear had lost its brilliance.
At that moment, the sound of footsteps could be heard outside her door.
When the woman turned to look toward the door, she saw a short-haired middle-aged woman with a face that said she had experienced her fair share of life walk in and say, “Master, from my investigation, I discovered that the pinnacle Cla.s.s 4 Creation Master from Connected Beast Park who will be attending the Guard Ye Banquet is Miao Qi.”
The woman with the guilty expression frowned, and a predatory aura rose from her body.
“There are so many members of Connected Beast Park’s older generation that can partic.i.p.ate in the Guard Ye Banquet. Yet, they choose Miao Qi out of all of them. They’re clearly targeting me!”
The short-haired middle-aged woman lowered her head, her eyelid twitching, as she thought, I knew uttering Miao Qi’s name would spell trouble. Master gets angry every time she hears Miao Qi’s name. But it’s no wonder she reacts like that. Lord Bamboo Monarch adored Master for so long, and she rejected him every time because she thought that her life was cursed.
Miao Qi took advantage of the situation to put on a nice act in front of Lord Bamboo Monarch while publicly provoking Master. She even said that Master and Lord Bamboo Monarch could never end up together. This caused Master to forget her place and agree to be together with Bamboo Monarch, which led to him being wrapped up in bad luck.
Master is still troubled over this, but Miao Qi chose such a time to appear at the Guard Ye Banquet. Miao Qi is a pinnacle Cla.s.s 4 Creation Master. Could she be planning to do something at the Guard Ye Banquet? If so, Master might end up doing something in retaliation.
While the short-haired middle-aged woman was deep in thought, w.a.n.g f.u.xiang said, “Ah Jing, go and pick a few nice clothes out of those that the Bamboo Monarch gave me. You’ll be taking my place, representing Langya Pavilion at the meeting.”
Ah Jing lifted her head and asked w.a.n.g f.u.xiang in surprise, “Master, don’t tell me you’re going to—”
w.a.n.g f.u.xiang gnashed her teeth and hissed before Ah Jing could finish speaking. “I didn’t want to make a spectacle at the Guard Ye Banquet because there are already enough rumors flying around me. But since Miao Qi wants to humiliate me at the Guard Ye Banquet publicly, she has crossed the line. Hehe, since she’s bent on humiliating me, I’ll launch an attack that they will need two generations to fend off.”
Ah Jing was about to urge w.a.n.g f.u.xiang to calm down, but she remembered that w.a.n.g f.u.xiang could never calm down about such matters.
“Master, Lord Bamboo Monarch said that he likes your purple clothes best. I will bring over the purple clothes that were a gift from Lord Bamboo Monarch,” said Ah Jing hurriedly.
Ah Jing hurried off to retrieve the purple clothes that were a gift from the Bamboo Monarch out of w.a.n.g f.u.xiang’s almost 1,000 sets of clothes.
Luckily, her Master only had close to 1,000 sets of clothes.
If there were any more, Ah Jing probably would not be able to find the purple clothes before the Guard Ye Banquet started.
At the same time, Ah Jing felt bad for w.a.n.g f.u.xiang.
Her Master was a romantic but fate had cursed her to only be able to experience facades of love.
If not for Lord Bamboo Monarch’s strong powers and that he was a Cla.s.s 5 Creation Master that could concoct spirit fluids to counter the bad luck, w.a.n.g f.u.xiang could have killed him with one kiss.
