Chapter 30 - The Banquet (1/2)

Jean: Hello, Murong Ye.

Jean smiled as he called out his name. Murong Ye looked coldly at him and opened his mouth, but Jean interrupted him.

Jean: Don't worry sweetie, I accept both boys and girls.

Murong Ye: ...Ah?

He forgot about his anger to Jean and let out a shocked sound. Then Jean laid an hand on his shoulder and smiled with his eyes.

Jean: If you ever feel alone just call me, ok?

Murong Ye had a terrified look on his eyes and quickly backed away in disgust from Jean, while Xia Yuanba looked at him with shock.

Xia Yuanba: Brother-in-law, you…

Suddenly, Jean started to laugh like crazy and said.

Jean: Hahahaha! What? Did you take me for gay? That's cute, c'mon Yuanba, there are more places that you still have to show me, forget about the failure over there.

Jean patted Xia Yuanba's back with one hand and walked away, while raising his free hand and giving the middle finger to Murong Ye, turning his disgust in anger.

[Later]

After he slept for a bit on his new bed, which was NOT in constant danger from random Profound Beasts. He reached the heart of the New Moon Profound Palace alone, it was a wide area of a sparse emerald-green bamboo forest.

And in it, stood a huge palace that emitted a dignified atmosphere, it was named the Main Palace. All the important matters inside the Palace are conducted in the Main Palace, so would the banquet too.

Then Jean found his seat, which was in front of the row, near Sikong Han who waved at him.

Sikong Han: Jean, should any duels occur later, I want you to pay close attention. It would be best if you manage to learn something from the fight. It has only been a short while since you had joined the Profound Department, so it's unlikely that anyone would challenge you.

Jean didn't checked if he would really be chosen or not, but he couldn't risk to use the ”Almighty” now, it would lose his mysteriousness… Better using it in the fight! So what if they seen him use it? They don't know what he can do with it, and never they will.

Jean: I understand.

Finally, the newly appointed Palace Chief of the New Moon Profound Palace, Qin Wuyou, has finally appeared. He looked around 60 years, his face held a face of a gentle and unflustered calm, and deep wisdom could be seen on his eyes.

Then, a middle aged man with 7 disciples strided in.

?: Hahahaha, Tie Zhancang of Iron Spear Clan, brings his son, Hengjun, to respectfully congratulate Palace Chief Qin on his appointment. Palace Chief Qin, I trust that you've been well since we last met.

When I chanced upon you half a month ago, Palace Chief Qin's bearing had truly made a deep impression on me. Today I especially brought my son to come before you… This is a meagre gift, to show my respect to you.

Qin Wuyou: Iron Spear Clan's Clan Master is really too polite. You personally came to give this old man face, so there should be no need to bring any gift. Your esteemed son is extraordinarily talented, and the way he conducts himself is out of the ordinary.

In the future, he will definitely be a dragon amongst men, and perhaps, he may even far surpass you, his father. Hahahaha…. Come, please take a seat.

The next were…

?: Cloudy Sun Sect's Head Elder Yan Zizai, congratulates Palace Chief Qin on his appointment.

…

?: Burning Heaven Clan's Sixth Elder, Fen Hanyan, congratulates Palace Chief Qin on his appointment.

…

Soon, everyone else came, until the last one, the Xiao Sect, ca-

?: Junior Xiao Luocheng of Xiao Sect, meets Palace Chief Qin.

Jean: ...Huh? Only him?

Everyone brought their disciples, but from the Xiao Sect, there wasn't any trace of a elder or master, the head of the group was actually Xiao Luocheng.
