Just as Millenium Jun Feitian was about to rush forward to personally throw Ji Yuan down the mountains, a beautiful but cold voice startled him.

“Millenium Jun Feitian, what do you think that you’re doing?”

Millenium Jun Feitian was startled by this voice and he quickly stopped in his tracks.

Ji Yuan had also recognized the familiar voice too.

She was actually the Cardinal Confidant Jun Qianfeng and she was being accompanied by Confidant Ur Muyuan. 

Millenium Jun Feitian stammered, “Elder Sister… you are here?”

Jun Qianfeng hummed coldly, “Why shouldn’t I be here? I just heard that you are going to throw an elder from the Cardinal Harpy down to the mountains.

Millenium Jun Feitian protested immediately, “This lowly human just insulted the honor our mother consort! Therefore, I have the right to punish him. If he survives being thrown down the mountains then I shall forgive him for this trespass. And also, you should be on my side as well. You have a strong dislike of him as well!”

Ji Yuan weakly said to himself when he had heard him: Even though I can survive bring thrown down the mountain but no way I am climbing up this stupid mountain again…

It had taken him several hours to climb this steep mountain with his bare hands, a feat not possible for a low level cultivator and this may even take a real 2nd realm cultivator several days. But Ji Yuan is quite an expert in mountain climbing and it is all thanks to his old master who had kicked him down the mountains whenever he failed in his trainings.𝞰𝑶𝓥𝑒𝐥𝗇𝔢xt.𝔠𝑂𝗆

Cardinal Confidant Jun Qianfeng ignored Millenium Jun Feitian and was quickly by Ji Yuan’s side to support him upright. 

She displayed the most gentle demeanor in front of Ji Yuan and said tenderly to him, “Holy Harpy 4444, are you alright? Let me help you to the Cardinal Cathedral. Our Cardinal Priestess is hosting a small banquet for Maiden Ding Xiaoxiao and you are also invited…”

Millenium Jun Feitian interrupted shockingly, “What?! He is invited?! But he is merely a low level elder and not even a Cardinal! How is it possible for him to be invited while I am not invited?”

Cardinal Confident Jun Qianfeng hummed coldly to him, “You want to tell me that you are supposed to be invited just because you are the next in line to become the Cardinal Tribune, am I right? But unfortunately, you are not yet the Cardinal Tribune and you have a noble duty now for a search and rescue mission…”

“But most of the survivors are already found…” Millenium Jun Feitian began to protest immediately.

Cardinal Confidant Jun Qianfeng interrupted him coldly, “And I just saw you wanting to throw Holy Harpy 4444 down the mountains. Not only you but your men are also trying to do the same too. So, is this the way you treat the survivors by throwing them down the mountains? Do you want me to tell the Cardinal Priestess and the other Cardinals about this? Or even to Juan Xian’Er?”

Millenium Jun Feitian weakly said, “Not to Juan Xian’Er…”

The reason why he had muttered the name of Juan Xian’Er was not because he was afraid of her but because he was trying to impress her. Do he did not want his good reputation to be ruined in front of Juan Xian’Er.

Then Cardinal Confidant Jun Qianfeng pulled Ji Yuan tenderly to her and said coldly to Millenium Jun Feitian and his men, “Out of my way!”

Millenium Jun Feitian did not dare to offend his eldest sister so he quickly stepped out of her way; he is not afraid of his mother consort Li Yifen but he is really afraid of his sister Jun Qianfeng. 

Ji Yuan was looking quite startled too. 

It was because he did not expect to find Jun Qianfeng to be so tender and gentle to him. But of course, he knows that Jun Qianfeng was aware of his fake identity as the Great Patriarch Sword Saint and maybe that was why she was so gentle to him now. 

As he walked off, he could not help but noticed that Millenium Jun Feitian and Confidant Ur Muyuan had locked eyes with each other.

Although it was subtle as they pretended not to know each other well but Ji Yuan knows that they were actually intimate lovers as he had personally witnessed them together in the Hermes Palace that fateful night.

Ji Yuan was actually not used to the tenderness that was displayed by Cardinal Confidant Jun Qianfeng as he was used to being called a lowly human slave by her.

If it was not for Confidant Ur Muyuan that was with them, he may even feel more awkward being alone with Jun Qianfeng.

As they reached the Cardinal Cathedral which was the palace of the Cardinal Priestess, Jun Qianfeng said to Ur Muyuan. “The banquet probably won’t end so quickly. So and take a rest first.”I think you should take a look at

When Confidant Ur Muyuan was gone, Jun Qianfeng began to smile tenderly to Ji Yuan. “I will always be on your side, no matter who you are.”

Ji Yuan: …

Then Jun Qianfeng had a flustered glow as she lowered her head to say, “Do you think that I am a foolish maiden? That I want to give you a spirit divine weapon so that you can ascend but you have better and don’t even need my help.”

Ji Yuan smiled weakly, “I actually appreciate your kind gestures…”

Jun Qianfeng looked delighted, “Really? This is good…”

Ji Yuan laughed awkwardly; he was really not used to being spoken in such a tender manner by Jun Qianfeng.

But soon, they had come to a great hall of the Cardinal Cathedral and a small banquet was being held inside.

Ji Yuan saw that Cardinal Priestess Xuan Qiaoqiao, Juan Xian’Er, the Cardinal Patriarch, the Cardinal Pope, Cardinal Harpy Li Yifen and the Cardinal Herald were all at this small banquet.

And of course, there was also Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao the White Lily.

Ji Yuan briefly locked eyes with Ding Xiaoxiao and he looked a little uneasy. 

As Ji Yuan entered the great hall with Cardinal Confidant Jun Qianfeng, Xuan Qiaoqiao immediately smiled. “Holy Harpy 4444 is finally here. What takes you so long?”

Ji Yuan weakly thought: You know that I have to climb your stupid mountain. And what is this banquet all about?

Although he had said that, his eyes were already looking at the all the good wines that were at this banquet.

And he was grinning to himself: This is so tempting… maybe I just have a little sip. I won’t get drunk, right? After all, I am a high level cultivator hahaha….

Although he was thinking about the good wines, he had to maintain a façade of asking. “Erm, this banquet? What is it for?”

Xuan Qiaoqiao looked at Ding Xiaoxiao before she giggled softly, “Naturally, it is to welcome Maiden Xiaoxiao to the Nightfall Heights. As her friend, naturally you are also invited to this banquet.”

Ji Yuan smiled weakly at her answer but he quickly pretended to say with great enthusiasm, “Hahaha, Maiden Ding Xiaoxiao, welcome to Nightfall Heights. I didn’t expect to see you here today. Hahaha…”

Ding Xiaoxiao was also smiling when she saw Ji Yuan, “I have thought that you may have died somewhere when the Immortal Heavenly Wrath had struck this place. But you seem to be quite well except for some minor wounds that are visible on you.”

Ji Yuan began to laugh weakly at her reply.

Xuan Qiaoqiao continued to say, “And of course, this banquet is also for my dearest confidant Juan Xian’Er as well. It is to welcome her back to the Nightfall Heights and to brief us about the situation in the Royal City of Nefarious too.”

As she said that, she noticed that Juan Xian’Er was quietly looking at Ji Yuan and she was not even paying attention to her. 

At the same time, Xuan Qiaoqiao, Li Yifen, Jun Qianfeng and Ding Xiaoxiao were all also quietly looking at one another too. 

Although the Cardinal Patriarch, the Cardinal Pope and the Cardinal Herald did not know the reason why but it seemed that there was an uneasy tension in the atmosphere when Holy Harpy 4444 had just arrived.

Ji Yuan naturally could feel the tension as well and he was looking quite awkward too…

Why are all these maidens looking so weirdly at me? I am merely a low level cultivator in this banquet…
