“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.
