As Yun Che and Xia Yuanba walked into the main hall, and just happened to run into Murong Ye. He glanced at them and said in an unfriendly manner: “What are the two of you doing here? Do you know what kind of banquet this is? Leave at once!”
“It was Elder Sikong who allowed us to come.” Xia Yuanba said whilst restraining his rage.
“Elder Sikong? Allowed you two?” Murong Ye said with a disdainful laugh: “He let you two come to disgrace us? This is no ordinary banquet; in a little while, disciples of various schools will do battle. You two pieces of trash arent even considered to be any good; what can you two do, now that youve come here? Hmph, fine. Since the Elder has allowed you two to come, go inside. Ill be frank; if you cause our New Moon Profound Palace to lose face, dont blame this Senior for being too rough with your punishment.”
He had followed behind Lan Xueruo for an entire afternoon. Even though Lan Xueruo had always smiled and spoke in a gentle voice, she had not looked directly at him even once. This made him store up an entire stomachs full of unpleasantness. When he encountered Yun Che and Xia Yuanba, it just so happened that he found an outlet for his anger.
Even if Xia Yuanba had a better temperament, suddenly being verbally abused for no apparent reason would still stir up his anger. Yun Che tugged on his arm, and spoke with an indifferent tone: “Lets enter.”
As they entered the Main Palace, they saw Sikong Han waving at them, and made them seat themselves on the prearranged seating. Both of their seats were set at the very back, and very out of sight…. However, although the place where they sat wasnt very noticeable, with Xia Yuanbas figure placed there, it was impossible to not draw attention.
“Yun Che, Yuanba, should any duels occur later, I want the two of you to pay close attention. It would be best if the two of you manage to learn something from the fight. It has only been a short while since you two had joined the Profound Department, so its unlikely that anyone would challenge you two. Just stay in the back and watch safely.” Sikong Han cautioned.
“Understood, Elder Sikong.” Xia Yuanba nodded, and then sat down obediently.
