Fey Evolution Merchant (Web Novel)
chapter-832

Old Gang was clearly not paying attention to Zuo Ming and was looking at him with slight vexation.

Zuo Ming, who was usually stoic, was always nosy when he was with friends.

Old Gang did not respond to Zuo Ming. If that person from Langya Pavilion was really here, the matter was serious.

Lord Bamboo Monarch was in deep trouble.

If trouble broke out in the Midnight Palace, no one could do anything about it unless Lordess Chief Guard stepped in personally.

Given Lordess Chief Guard's temperament, she would definitely stay out of such matters.

Old Gang glanced at the unconscious Miao Zhuo and said to Zuo Ming, "Summon the Soul Song Zither Bird and check on this boy's soul. Why did he have to get on the wrong side of Young Liege? Even if his soul is injured severely, he'll wake up after being whipped by the Sin Cleansing Weeping Willows. Let me see how many Sin Cleansing Weeping Willows I should use to teach this boy a lesson."

Zuo Ming shot a look of annoyance at Old Gang. It could have just asked directly instead of questioning how many Sin Cleansing Weeping Willows it would need to teach Miao Zhuo a lesson.

Given the state of Miao Zhuo's soul injury, it would not be able to survive two days under one Sin Cleansing Weeping Willow.

But frankly, Zuo Ming was also curious about what had gotten the well-mannered Liu Jie so furious.

An avian-type fey with a zither-like tail and beautiful colorful crystal feathers was summoned with a wave of Zuo Ming's hand.

There was nothing special about the bird's body, and its white down feathers had no shine to them. However, the beautiful colorful crystal feathers that grew on the bird's zither-like tail looked like multi-colored gems on a pipa.

The Soul Song Zither Bird moved its tail feathers, and a strange and ear-piercing tune was played.

A look of anguish appeared on Miao Zhuo's face, and Zuo Ming used the song to check on the state of Miao Zhuo's soul.

Only Night Leaning Moon knew that Liu Jie was Lin Yuan's retainer knight.

Although Night Leaning Moon did not purposely hide that Liu Jie was Lin Yuan's retainer, she also did not tell Zuo Ming about it.

Thus, Zuo Ming was confused as to why Liu Jie was so protective of Lin Yuan.

Liu Jie's anger was solely because Lin Yuan had been insulted by Miao Zhuo.

Cold sweat started to drip down Zuo Ming's back.

Luckily, Cold Moon and Mystic Moon had accompanied the Moon Empress to the main area inside the Midnight Palace for a meeting. Otherwise, if Cold Moon or Mystic Moon found out that their Young Lord had been insulted, Miao Zhuo would face consequences that were ten times more severe.

The Guard Ye Banquet would not be able to proceed as planned.

Since Miao Zhuo had not just insulted Liu Jie but also the Radiant Moon Palace's Young Lord, Zuo Ming said to Old Gang, "You don't have to send Miao Zhuo to the Sin Cleansing Pool. Just take him to Connected Beast Park's residence in Circle Beast City and tell his grandfather that our Young Liege put his grandson in this state because he had insulted the Radiant Moon Palace's Young Lord. He can decide for himself what happens to his grandson."

Old Gang was slightly surprised as it did not expect the boy on the ground to also have implicated the Radiant Moon Palace.

This was an extremely serious issue.

The giant python swallowed Miao Zhuo and disappeared in a flash.

…

At that moment, You Zhe's forehead broke out in a sweat.

Even when he was facing powerful dimensional lifeforms or surrounded by a sea of dimensional lifeforms, he had never experienced the emotions that he was feeling now.

He did not know what to do in the situation he was currently in and dared not act rashly.

All the truly important people were in a meeting in the main area of the Midnight Palace, while the people in the inner area of the Midnight Palace were from top factions and veteran factions.

After winning a game of scissors-paper-stone with Zuo Ming, You Zhe had chosen to manage the inner area of the Midnight Palace because he thought it would be an easier task.

However, he did not expect that person from Langya Pavilion, who had initially rejected the invitation, had decided to attend in the end,

A woman dressed in traditional purple clothes with beautiful purplish-gold bamboo patterns and golden peony embroidery was standing at the entrance to the inner area of the Midnight Palace.

She had demure features and pearls that seemed to encapsulate life adorned her earrings.

A string of pearls with the color of dreamy clouds hung around her neck.

It was the appearance of this woman that had led to sweat breaking out on You Zhe's forehead.

The fashionable woman stole everyone's attention from the moment she arrived.

Previously, the people from veteran factions saw Wang Fuxiang as only the mysterious owner of Lanya Pavilion. There were only a few top factions that knew about Wang Fuxiang and Lord Bamboo Monarch.

Ever since Lord Bamboo Monarch had been stained with bad luck and stopped creating Law Crystals for the major factions, the secret between Wang Fuxiang and Lord Bamboo Monarch had been blown out into the open.

Even the people from veteran factions knew.

Now that the secret was exposed, even the top factions dared not look down on Wang Fuxiang.

Whether it was real or feigned, the leaders of the top factions were all looking at Wang Fuxiang with respect.

Their eyes also looked toward someone else dressed in purple.

This set of purple clothes that Miao Qi was wearing had two red trees with red fruits embroidered on them. There were some faint images of bamboo next to the red trees.

The leaders of the top factions started to grow nervous. What good could come from Wang Fuxiang and Miao Qi clashing against each other?

They did not imagine that the day would come where they could gawk at the Bamboo Monarch.

Long Tu, who was sitting with Li Zhen, checked the time. The meeting that was happening in the main area of the Midnight Palace should have ended by now.

He wondered what expression Lord Bamboo Monarch would have when he came and saw Wang Fuxiang and Miao Qi.

However, this was Lord Bamboo Monarch's personal matter, and it would be up to him to handle the issue.

At that moment, a woman pushed a middle-aged man out of his seat and walked toward Wang Fuxiang.

The middle-aged man was distractedly eating a piece of steamed gyokuro date shortcake while the woman furiously pulled his ear and said, "Li Changlin, all you do is eat! You eat wherever you go! Come with me to greet Sister Xiang now!"
