1895 The Twelve Palaces’ Summit 9 (1/2)
His eyes saw that the entire banquet was cold like an ice house and the Flame Demons Palace Lord's face turned even uglier when he noticed the Purple Thunder Palace Lord's eyes shooting a disdainful gaze straight at him.
The Flame Demons Palace Lord's brows were tightly creased up and when the Elder beside him detected the abnormality, he quickly voiced out to divert everyone's attention.
”All the various palaces have arrived here but we still have not seen any sign of the Shadow Moon Palace. I wonder does anyone here know when the people from the Shadow Moon Palace would come?”
The Flame Demons Palace's Elders words had attracted the attention of quite a number of people.
They had all not seen eye to eye with each other over the recent period and none of them had noticed that the Shadow Moon Palace's people were not here.
”Didn't the Shadow Moon Palace already receive the invitation? It's been such a long period of time and it is not enough for them to come here? If I remember it correctly, the distance from here should be the closest for the Shadow Moon Palace.” A Blood Fiend Palace's Elder quipped helpfully.
”The Shadow Moon Palace? They had been rather laid back over the recent period and the days might have been so leisurely for them that they had forgotten all about us.” An Elder they did not know from which palace sneered with a cold laugh.
Eleven palaces out of the Twelve Palaces had sustained great losses and all of the palaces had had to grit their teeth to hold themselves out. The reason that they had come today was because most of them were thinking of using gentler methods to resolve everything, and to not continue to battle each other anymore.
Now that the Shadow Moon Palace had suddenly been mentioned, the fact that the Shadow Moon Palace had not suffered any losses suddenly caused the other palaces to feel rather imbalanced. And added to that, with them not having yet arrived here today, it gave rise to quite a bit of displeasure from the various palaces as well.
”Heh, the Shadow Moon Palace just had a change of their Palace Lord and it is said that it's a little young lady. It is normal that she doesn't know of such proprieties and decorum.” The Flame Demons Palace's Elder saw that their rage had been diverted and he immediately stepped forward, seemingly attempting to pacify the situation but was in fact just fanning the flames.
”Little young lady? Since she is of such a young age, all the more she has got to understand decorum! Does she then expect the entire group of us to be waiting for her?”
”The Shadow Moon Palace must have looked at us like we're some kind of joke throughout the recent period. Who knows what they are thinking in their hearts?”
