1901 The Appetizer Dish 1 (1/2)

Everyone gave him face and they stood up to drink from their cups.

Jun Wu Xie naturally complied with everyone.

Till they sat back down in their seats, the acts everyone was putting up came to a new level of fervour.

Everyone's firepower had originally been trained upon the Shadow Moon Palace. But when they came to know that the Shadow Moon Palace had only brought a total of ten people, and that the new and old Palace Lord might not be getting along, their previously unbalanced hearts then came to be much more appeased. Added to that, with Jun Wu Xie's looks being so stunning, everyone naturally did not have the heart to attack her from all sides anymore.

Having lost the target for them to focus their rage upon, and with several cups of fine wine in their tummies and stimulated by the alcohol, the atmosphere in the banquet began to become rather tense.

The several powers among the palaces who had been holding themselves back in restraint became irritated and upset once again, the words imbued with each other thick with the smell of gunpowder.

Fei Yan was seated beside right beside the Dragon Slayers Palace Lord as he sipped at his wine, savouring the hand that Jun Wu Xie had played.

The reason Jun Wu Xie had only brought these few people here had been to give people a wrong impression, to make them think that it wasn't all that peaceful inside the Shadow Moon Palace like it was on the surface and they were at an disadvantage in numbers as well, to not make the various Palace Lords feel threatened, which would very naturally weaken the Shadow Moon Palace's presence and standing. They would then gradually come to forget the threat of the Shadow Moon Palace and start to attack their respective enemies.

Fei Yan was rather certain that Jun Wu Xie should have already guessed the kind of situation in the banquet earlier for her to come up with such a ploy.

As Fei Yan was thinking things through in his mind, he watched the red eyed Dragon Slayers Palace Lord opposite him. His gaze had from the moment Gu Ying came into the hall, never left Gu Ying's body, his redshot eyes and tightly clenched fists, showing the kind of rage he felt towards Gu Ying.

The corners of Fei Yan's mouth curled up in a sneer.
