Fey Evolution Merchant (Web Novel)
chapter-828

No one expected that someone would dare to make a move right outside the Midnight Palace.

When Liu Jie made his move, he did not seem to care at all that Miao Zhuo had the support of Connected Beast Park or that they were currently at the Midnight Palace.

Although Long Tao and Li Xuan knew who Lin Yuan was, it was not appropriate for him to make a move right outside the Midnight Palace.

The Midnight Palace belonged to Chief Guard Ye, and it was essentially her home.

Even if Lin Yuan was the Moon Empress' disciple, it was extremely disrespectful for him to attack right outside Chief Guard Ye's home.

However, Lin Yuan had not been the one to make a move. Instead, the man wearing the standard Spirit Guard mask that was standing next to Lin Yuan had done it.

Neither Long Tao nor Li Xuan was dumb. They shared a look and made a guess who the man wearing the standing Spirit Guard mask was.

However, those who did not know who Lin Yuan was did not share their thoughts.

Qi Haitao, who had been embroiled in the middle of the fight, started to tremble and called Liu Jie an idiot to himself.

The issue had already passed, but Miao Zhuo had growled that they would settle their issue after the Guard Ye Banquet. This was a slap across Qi Haitao's face.

The experts from the Five Thearch Soldiers were stationed outside the Midnight Palace to protect him, so they would stop Miao Zhuo if he launched an attack against him.

After all, the Sea Bliss Clan had used a large number of resources to buy the Five Thearch Soldiers' protection.

Qi Haitao had already prepared himself to be hit, but he did not expect the new incident to develop in the blink of an eye.

He glared fiercely at Liu Jie and fought the urge to lunge at him and scream, "How dare you make a move right outside the Midnight Moon Palace? Know your place!"

Including Sun Ningxiang, everyone involved was doomed.

Normally, a person should have fainted after receiving a soul injury. But Miao Zhuo managed to stay conscious thanks to the item that protected his soul.

Miao Zhuo, whose face was as white as a sheet, croaked to the dazed Zheng Kaiyuan, "Help me up."

Zheng Kaiyuan regained his senses, pulled Miao Zhuo up from the ground, and whispered, "Let's go into the palace to find Master!"

Now that Miao Zhuo's soul was injured, Zheng Kaiyuan was a mess.

As the Zheng family's Second Young Master, Zheng Kaiyuan was used to being arrogant. However, the lowest-ranked people present were still from veteran factions.

Zheng Kaiyuan's haughtiness as the Second Young Master of the Zheng family had all but dissipated.

Miao Zhuo ignored Zheng Kaiyuan and glared ferociously at Liu Jie.

Even at this moment, he asked, "How dare you attack me!?"

When Miao Zhuo felt the bone-crushing pain of his soul injury, he was confused.

He already had to control and suppress himself because of where he was, so how could this person be so daring?

How could he have actually launched an attack?

Did he have a death wish?

Miao Zhuo had already been looking for a segway to extract himself from the situation, so how did he still end up getting attacked?

Liu Jie looked like a stoic bodyguard standing next to Lin Yuan.

Due to the voice-altering effects of the Spirit Guards' standard mask, Liu Jie's voice sounded rather strange.

However, this strange voice still carried significant determination and severity.

Liu Jie's words made everyone present inhale sharply. "You should not have pointed at his nose. Next time, you'll lose your life."

Miao Zhuo was slightly stunned by how ludicrous Liu Jie's response was.

If anyone else had said this to him at any other place, he would have gone after their life in retaliation.

But they were at the Midnight Palace!

The disciples of veteran and top factions were astonished by Liu Jie's response, and many cursed in amazement.

It seemed insane to them that Liu Jie did not care that they were at the Midnight Palace at all.

At that moment, two figures appeared behind Miao Zhuo, and one of them coldly snapped at Liu Jie. "How dare you act this way in the Midnight Palace? Although there are no spirit attendants here, Chief Guard Ye's right- and left-hand managers are still present."

The other figure checked Miao Zhuo's injury and was about to summon a fey to heal Miao Zhuo's hand when he remembered that he was at the Midnight Palace and stopped himself.

It was against regulations to summon feys at the Midnight Palace without permission, even if it was just a healing-type fey.

Miao Zhuo weakly nodded at the two figures, and Zheng Kaiyuan anxiously greeted them.

One of the figures nodded in response to Zheng Kaiyuan while the other completely ignored him.

Long Tao said to the man who had spoken, "Du Shuo, Fang He, it's not always good to stick your nose into others' business. Don't end up falling after sticking your head out too far."

Du Shuo was Furnace Stone Metal's main disciple.

Furnace Stone Metal was also one of the top ten factions amongst the top 50 factions, just like the Long family.

They had a large store of metal spiritual ingredients and always operated in a low-profile manner.

Fang He was from Four Beast Territory. Although Four Beast Territory could not compare to the Long family, they still had an enormous store of beast resources.

When it came to power, Four Beast Territory was much stronger than Dark Clouds Bird Shrine.

Long Tao had heard that Du Shuo was close with Fang He, and they were basically joined at the hip.

However, he did not know what relationship Du Shuo had with Miao Zhuo.

But from the way that Du Shuo and Fang He were standing behind Miao Zhuo, it seemed that Furnace Stone Metal and Four Beast Territory were about to start working with Connected Beast Park.

Long Tao felt that Du Shuo and Fang He were extremely unlucky.

If Lin Yuan announced his identity, Du Shuo and Fang He would be severely reprimanded by their seniors because they had helped Miao Zhuo.

But if Four Beast Territory and Furnace Stone Metal were working with Connected Beast Park, it was worth considering the repercussions of this commotion.

Du Shuo's face fell when he heard what Long Tao said, and he retorted contemptuously, "Long Tao, you better watch yourself."

Du Shuo proceeded to ignore Long Tao and said to Liu Jie in derision, "Impulsivity comes with a price. You better consider carefully if you'll be able to afford this price."

Liu Jie took a step forward and said to Du Shuo in a low voice, "With nasty guests, there's nothing I can't handle in my own house."
