Chapter 889: What a Good Bait!

Chapter 889: What a Good Bait!

As the direct descendant of a veteran faction, Zheng Kaiyuan was no fool.

Moreover, he had spent many years by Miao Qi’s side and had received support and education from a top faction.

As such, his horizons were broader than that of other disciples of veteran factions.

He quickly assessed the situation and guessed that Miao Qi must have met with some trouble in the Midnight Palace.

She could have offended someone higher up on the pecking order than her like Miao Zhuo and had been chased out of the Midnight Palace.

If she had left of her own accord, she would have informed Zheng Kaiyuan.

However, Zheng Kaiyuan could not come up with a plausible scenario of what exactly Miao Qi could have done.

The seats in the center of the hall were positioned close to each other.

Zheng Kaiyuan was in Connected Beast Park’s seating area, and next to him was Four Beasts Territory’s seating area.

If this was any other time, he would not have dared to ask the head of the Fang family from Four Beasts Territory for information.

Zheng Kaiyuan might be in Connected Beast Park’s seating area, but he was acutely conscious of the fact that his surname was not Miao.

But he remembered that he might be in the same friend group as the Moon Empress, Chief Guard Ye, the Bamboo Monarch, and Chef Supreme’s disciples and managed to muster up the courage to walk over to the head of the Fang family.

He coughed and asked, “Senior Fang, where… Where is my Master Miao Qi?”

Zheng Kaiyuan made sure to include the word Master to emphasize his identity.

Fang Zhan could not help but be curious when he saw the hesitant young man slowly walking over to him.

Since Zheng Kaiyuan kept his body angled away from Fang Zhan, the latter could not see the Zheng family icon on Zheng Kaiyuan’s collar.

Additionally, the spirit qi clothes Zheng Kaiyuan was wearing did not look like the Hundred Beasts New Sprouts attire that Miao Zhuo had been wearing.

Thus, Fang Zhan did not immediately recognize Zheng Kaiyuan.

But when Fang Zhan heard Zheng Kaiyuan announce his identity, his gaze shifted.

Fang Zhan had just heard from his grandson Fang He about the commotion that Miao Zhuo had caused outside the Midnight Palace. This incident made Fan Zhan re-evaluate his decision to collaborate with Connected Beast Park.

He was also irked by Connected Beast Park because his grandson had almost been dragged into shouldering the blame and could have ended up being punished by Zuo Ming as well. Thankfully, Chief Guard Ye’s disciple had been gracious.

Connected Beast Park’s senior and junior both liked to start trouble.

Just as Fang Zhan was about to start berating Zheng Kaiyuan, Fang He bowed and whispered into his ear.

Fang He’s words made the way that he looked at Zheng Kaiyuan change, and his tone also became more polite.

“Your Master Miao Qi had worn spirit qi clothes that bore similar designs to Lord Bamboo Monarch’s coronation patterns. This is a form of disrespect to Lord Bamboo Monarch, and she was chased out of the Guard Ye Banquet by You Zhe.”

Fang Zhan did not go into details because he knew that saying too much could lead to one’s downfall.

This matter concerned Lord Bamboo Monarch’s personal life, and any flippant comment would be seen as an insult.

After carefully studying Zheng Kaiyuan for a while, Fan Zhan could not see any impressive traits.

If he was impressive in any way, he would have participated in the Arts Stage, Martial Stage, or Martial Arts Stage.

Fang Zhan could not see one reason why this disciple of a veteran faction had the right to be part of that special friend group.

Zheng Kaiyuan was stupefied by Fang Zhan’s words and felt the air around him grow cold.

Not only had Miao Zhuo offended the Moon Empress’ disciple and had been kicked out after having his soul injured by Chief Guard Ye’s disciple, but even Miao Qi had disrespected Lord Bamboo Monarch because of the design of her spirit qi clothes.

It was likely that Miao Qi’s position in the Miao family would plunge after this incident, and when that happened, Zheng Kaiyuan would no longer be able to enjoy his current lifestyle.

This thought made Zheng Kaiyuan’s legs go numb, and his body started to sway unsteadily.

At this moment, Fang Zhan said, “I heard that you’re connected to the members of royalty’s disciples. You can ask them for mercy on your Master’s behalf. Old Miao must be despairing now trying to come up with a way to express his apologies to the members of royalty.”

Zheng Kaiyuan froze, and his legs refilled with strength.

Fang Zhan’s words had given him new hope.

He had been shocked when Lin Yuan called him over and did not understand why Lin Yuan was being so friendly with him.

After joining the group, he had not dared to speak to the other disciples of royalty, and he was not naive enough to believe that his pleas of mercy would be effective.

However, everyone had seen the way that Lin Yuan had treated Zheng Kaiyuan. Now, Lin Yuan had been publicly declared as the Moon Empress’ disciple.

Zheng Kaiyuan could bank on Lin Yuan’s status to save himself from punishment when he returned home. He might even be able to meet with his grandfather, who never wanted to meet with him, and climb to an even higher position in the Miao family.

Even without Miao Qi, he would be able to thrive.

Lin Yuan had even exchanged contact details with Zheng Kaiyuan, and he would be able to help the Miao family to get in contact with Lin Yuan.

As he looked at the Miao family crest on the back of the chair in front of him, he felt wild ambition surge within him.

His ambition surpassed his fear, and Zheng Kaiyuan planted himself down on the Miao family’s seat.

Lin Yuan noticed what Zheng Kaiyuan did and gently tapped his fingers on the armrest of his chair.

“Zheng Kaiyuan sure is a great bait.”

Lin Yuan had been trying to come up with a way to lure Zheng Kaiyuan, but it seemed like he did not need to worry anymore. All Lin Yuan needed to do now was throw his net, and Zheng Kaiyuan would be the bait that lured the Miao family in.

The Guard Ye Banquet was in full swing, but Lin Yuan did not like such grand events.

Lin Yuan fixed his gaze on the complete Law Crystals lining the stage as he comforted the Sacred Sword Wielding Queen in the depths of his soul.

“The Law Crystals on stage aren’t ours. You can’t absorb them.”

The Sacred Sword Wielding Queen became disappointed.

Lin Yuan hurriedly said, “Don’t you already have many Law Source Crystals? You haven’t even finished absorbing those! If my memory serves, you prefer to absorb Law Source Crystals over Law Crystals.”
