“Feeling guilty?” Xia Qilin coldly laughed. “It seems like you must have used my Northern Xia Manor’s name to gain entry. If this is the case, I want you to get out now. My Northern Xia Manor doesn’t welcome you.”

“Scram!”

Xia Qingchen’s patience was whittled down bit by bit.

This was simply ridiculous!

“Since this is the case, don’t tell me I have to act to get you to leave.” Xia Qilin’s palm manifested streams of inner force.

He wouldn’t hesitate to act. He wanted Xia Qingchen to leave.

Because status was the only thing he was superior to Xia Qingchen in.

If he couldn’t even compare to Xia Qingchen in status, his feeling of superiority would vanish completely into nothingness.

“Brother Xia, please rest your anger.” Zhao Tianyu walked over and obstructed Xia Qilin from attacking. He spoke in a low voice, “Fighting is forbidden in the banquet.”

“But him…” Xia Qilin was unwilling. Could it be he would have to pretend nothing happened?

Zhao Tianyu smiled. “Just leave such matters to the butler to handle.”

He called out to an attendant and that attendant instantly went to look for the butler.

The butler was clad in clean robes and there was a spring-like smile on his face. “Young Master Zhao, what do you need?”

Zhao Tianyu pointed to Xia Qingchen. “My friend suspects that he didn’t receive an invitation and has snuck in. You should go and handle this matter.”

For such unskilled labor, it was fine to hand it to others to handle.

The butler glanced at Xia Qingchen. He still had a smile on his face as he surveyed Xia Qingchen.

Xia Qingchen’s clothing was ordinary, his face and skin quality were also ordinary. He should be from an ordinary clan.

“May I ask where does sir come from?” The butler was seemingly polite, but his eyes were narrowed as he stared at Xia Qingchen.

Xia Qingchen calmly spoke, “How would I dare to claim connections with those martial aristocratic clans? I’m just from a normal land-owning aristocratic clan.”

The butler instantly understood.

For this Rainbow Cloud Banquet, only martial aristocratic clans that were high up on the social ladder were invited. Land-owning aristocratic clans wouldn’t even be considered.

“In that case sir, how did you enter?” the butler asked again.

Xia Qingchen coldly looked at him, “Why don’t you take a guess?”

The butler’s smile instantly vanished. “I can’t guess and I don’t wish to guess. If sir wasn’t invited, I can only ask you to leave now.”

As the sound of his voice faded, three muscular martial practitioners silently came over from a corner and surrounded Xia Qingchen.

Xia Qingchen’s countenance turned cold. “Indeed, I’m not someone who was invited personally by the banquet. But there’s a friend who gave me an invitation card!”

Swish~

He took out an extremely exquisite-looking invitation card and tossed it into the butler’s hands.

The moment he saw it, the butler’s face changed. A wide smile then appeared again on his face. “So it turned out that you are a respected guest that has an invitation card. My apologies. I have disturbed you. Please continue to enjoy the banquet.”

As he spoke, he returned the invitation card.

Xia Qingchen flicked the invitation card away and calmly spoke, “I no longer have the mood. You guys can continue to enjoy the liveliness.”

He initially wanted to take a look at which old item of his did they find. Who would have thought that he would run into a few loathsome flies before that?

“Respected guest, please take care!” The butler smiled, not taking any action to keep him back.

The valuable guests attending the banquet were as many as the clouds. It wouldn’t be too little if a single Xia Qingchen was missing.

Did Xia Qingchen think that this butler would ask him to remain behind by bending his back in apology?

Hehe, what a foolish dream!

After seeing Xia Qingchen leaving, Xia Qilin’s feelings didn’t get better.

Because Xia Qingchen actually received an invitation card. Thus, the current Xia Qingchen’s status was already equal to his.

In addition to his martial dao…

Xia Qilin’s heart suddenly clenched. Could it be that his useless younger cousin was going to surpass him?

No!

Absolutely not!

Hua~

All of a sudden, firecrackers rang out from outside the door.

The guests all stopped chatting and turned their gaze toward the entrance.

A tall and imposing figure also swiftly walked out from the backyard of the villa. It was a middle-aged man with good looks and an extraordinary aura.

Right now, his steps were as quick as the wind. He had a smile on his face as he looked at the person who just entered.

This person was a young woman that had exquisite features and a graceful aura.

She was robed in a tailored purple dress, like scattered petals.

The gazes of everyone focused. She was like a treasured jade, shining with a glistening radiance.

“A grand welcome to Miss Zhen!” The imposing middle-aged man walked over to receive her.

He was the owner of Rainbow Cloud Villa, one of the people ranked within the top ten for the greatest power and authority in Lone Cloud City.

In the entire city, not more than ten people would be among those who could be welcomed personally by him.

One could very well imagine how esteemed the status of this Miss Zhen, before the eyes of everyone, was.

Zhao Churan stared at the young woman as jealousy and envy filled her heart.

Her beauty wasn’t inferior in comparison, but the differences in their statuses were too large. Never in her wildest dreams would she be able to achieve a status similar to this young woman.

“Cousin Qilin, who is that young woman? Is her status very high?” Zhao Churan’s voice was filled with hostility as she asked.

Xia Qilin’s face tightened as he made a shushing motion in a panic, “Shh!”

After that, he lowered his voice and spoke cautiously, “Among the younger generation of Lone Cloud City, she is one of the two with the highest status. Everyone calls her Lone Cloud Princess!”

“Princess of this city?” Zhao Churan revealed a look of contempt.

Princess? Only an empire would have a princess. How would there be a princess in a city?

Xia Qilin continued, “She has another identity, she is Zhen Nantian’s granddaughter.”

“It is her?” Zhao Churan’s expression abruptly changed as she drew in a long breath. The gaze which she used to look at Zhen Zhilan completely changed.

There was no longer jealousy. Only the earlier envy and respect from her heart was there.

The granddaughter of the martial legend. Her status must be even higher than the princess of an empire, right?

Zhen Zhilan arrived at the villa under the passionate gaze of the villa owner.

“Has my friend arrived yet?” Zhen Zhilan glanced at the guests of the banquet, but she didn’t discover Xia Qingchen’s figure.

The villa owner remembered that Zhen Zhilan asked him to specially sent out an invitation card.

He initially thought that someone from the Shrine wanted to come with her. So it turned out that she wanted that invitation card for her friend.

“Miss Zhen, can I ask who is your friend? I’ll get the butler to check if he’s here already.”

“Xia Qingchen.”

The villa owner instantly waved his hand. The butler jogged over and bowed in a humble manner. “Sir, do you have any instructions?”

“Miss Zhen has a friend named Xia Qingchen. Has he arrived yet? If he hasn’t, arrange for people to go and fetch him here. Ah, you can also use my personal carriage.” Since this Xia Qingchen was Zhen Zhilan’s friend, he naturally wouldn’t slight him.

Who knew that the butler continued to bow, not moving at all.

In truth, his body had gone stiff. Even the smile on his face stiffened.

Xia Qingchen?

Wasn’t that the young man who was questioned by him and left due to anger?

A moment later, cold sweat filled his brows.

“Quickly go make the arrangements,” the villa owner berated unhappily when he saw his butler standing there in a daze.

Usually, his butler was quick on his feet. Why was he so muddle-headed in crucial times?

At this moment, a serving girl nervously walked over and explained everything to the villa owner.

“What?!” The villa owner was shocked!

That Xia Qingchen had long since arrived but was driven away by the butler in anger.

Zhen Zhilan wasn’t someone deaf, upon knowing that Xia Qingchen left, she felt flames of fury ignite in her heart.

Didn’t she invite Xia Qingchen over because she wanted to use this opportunity to make their relationship closer?

This was what her grandfather had instructed her!

And the ending was really ‘good’. Not only did she not manage to make their relationship closer, but Xia Qingchen even left in anger!

If he blamed this on her, there would definitely be no hope for him to cure her grandfather’s injuries in the future.
