The Sky Poison Pearl
Entering the Banquet
"Yuan." Yun Che's expression became serious: "There's a very serious matter that I have to discuss with you."
"Eh, what is it?" Seeing Yun Che's expression, Xia Yuanba suddenly became nervous.
"From now on, you can't call me sister-in-law!" Yun Che said.
"Why?" Xia Yuanba's eyes widened. There was nothing Yun Che said but there was a mysterious smile.
“Then, if I don't call you sister-in-law, I should call you what?”
“Hm, about this…. You can call me Big Brother, Boss, Big Brother Yun, Big Brother Che, Big Brother Yun Che, or just call Yun Che, Senior Brother Yun…. In short, don't call me sister-in-law again.”
"Oh! Oho! Then I will call you Boss from now on, is that good?
"It's okay."
“Bos, boss, boss…. Uhm, it still feels a little strange. Ah, right, earlier Senior Brother Xueruo said he was heading to the Alchemist section to buy medicinal pills to handle the banquet tonight. Should we go there too? Since Brother-in-law had just entered the Inner Sect, it was possible to immediately receive a set of medicinal pills. You can get one set per month.
“…. Don't call me brother-in-law.”
“Ah, I forgot, I will definitely pay attention. Then Brother-in-law, should we go to the residence or to the Alchemist section first?
Yun Che followed Xia Yuanba and received a set of medicinal pills, and this was quite certain as Yun Che had expected ... They were all the lowest level Profound Recovery Pills, and their potential was around forty or fifty percent. With supporting medicinal pills of this level, they were much worse than the big sects; it was no wonder why the average strength of the New Moon Palace had always been stagnant.
Lying on the small bed, Yun Che quickly fell asleep. This past half year, he had always slept in the wilderness; never stayed in any inn, nor had he enjoyed the privilege of sleeping in bed. This time, he slept very comfortably and stably from day to night, until he was woken up by Xia Yuanba knocking on his door.
“Sister-in-law, are you awake? The banquet is almost about to begin, are we still going?
Xia Yuanba knew in his heart what might happen at this banquet, so he actually did not want Yun Che to be present; this was so that he would avoid the challenge, he said, and the possibility is certain that he will be deliberately harmed by the opponent.
Yun Che opened his eyes and quickly got out of bed: “Of course I will go! Give me a minute, we'll be leaving soon!”
The center of the New Moon Palace was a vast area of sparse green bamboo forest, and within it, stood a huge palace that exuded a dignified atmosphere. It is the largest and most luxurious building in the entire New Moon Palace; its name will be instantly known as the "Main Palace". All the important affairs within the Palace were done in the Main Palace; and the banquet for the appointment of the new Palace Chief, would also be conducted here
When Yun Che and Xia Yuanba walked into the Main Palace, not even half an hour was left until the banquet began. However, not up to one-fifth of the seats were filled; not only was it that most of them were actually people from the inner disciples themselves. It was clear that it was not because those invited sects were unable to come earlier, but instead, they deliberately did not want to come earlier, to brag about their status.
At the same time, it was also a type of humiliation towards the New Moon Palace.
As Yun Che and Xia Yuanba walked into the main hall, and happened to meet Murong Ye. He glanced at them and said in a hostile manner: “What are you two doing here? Do you know what kind of banquet this is? Go soon!”
“Older Sikong who allowed us to come.” Xia Yuanba said while holding back his anger.
“Older Sikong? Allowing you two?” Murong Ye said while laughing contemptuously: “He let the two of you come to humiliate us? This was no ordinary banquet; in a moment, disciples from the various Sects would be fighting. You two trash aren't even considered good; what can you two do, after you guys come here? Hmph, okay. Since the Elder has allowed the two of you to come, go inside. I will be frank; if you are causing our New Moon Palace to lose face, don't blame this Senior for being too harsh with your punishment.
Yun Che pulled his arm, and spoke in an indifferent tone: "Let's go in."
