Chapter 28
Snatching People With Her Own Abilities
Hong Ling glanced at Chu Qing with disdain. “Some people are used to having no desires. They can’t see that it’s normal for men and women to have sex in this world.”
“Or does a certain someone feel inferior because they know they’re ugly and women look down on them?” Hong Ling asked, then burst out laughing.
Chu Qing was so angry that his pale face instantly turned livid.
Wen Ling, who was sitting on the other side of Hong Ling, acted as if he hadn’t heard anything. He picked up his glass and drank in silence.
The queen sat at the head of the table. She didn’t know what to say when she saw this.
There had always been rumors of discord between the Profound Heaven Sect and the High Heaven Pavilion. One of them was the Third Elder of the Profound Heaven Sect, and the other was the Deputy Pavilion Master of the High Heaven Pavilion. No empire wanted to offend them.
The queen looked at the elders for help, but everyone only dared to drink quietly or chat amicably with people they weren’t familiar with.
The scene fell into an awkward silence.
Kong Rui wasn’t in the mood to enjoy such a farce. She greeted the clan leader and wanted to leave.
She still had to take the opportunity to find the secret underground chamber. If she could save Little Phoenix, she would have completed half of her goal!
“Patriarch, I’m a little tired. I still have a competition tomorrow, so I want to go back and rest first,” Kong Rui whispered as she approached the Patriarch.
The patriarch frowned slightly. “This is a good opportunity for you to show your face in front of the three major sects. Don’t miss it!”
Kong Rui was about to say something when she heard the Fu family’s patriarch sitting not far away. “Brother Li, you’re too good at keeping secrets!”
The Li family’s patriarch didn’t react for a moment, but he still said cheerfully, “Brother Fu, you must be joking. Why would I keep secrets?”
“Your family has stolen all the limelight today! Good lord! You even found an ancient divine beast!” The Fu family’s patriarch said, his tone revealing a trace of resentment.
“Tell us quickly! Which mystic realm did you find this divine beast in? Let’s go and search together!” The Fu family’s patriarch urged, his eyes filled with anticipation.
The Li family’s patriarch didn’t know how to answer this question.
He began to think to himself, “Should I just say that she awakened it?”
The family only found out about this today and had yet to communicate with the queen.
The princess had just hatched a small phoenix when the Li family produced a divine beast, the griffin, that was comparable to a phoenix.
Wasn’t it obvious that he was going against the queen?
If he really angered the queen, the Li family wouldn’t be able to fare well!
Just as the Li family’s patriarch was hesitating and not knowing what to do, the First Elder of the Lei Clan said, “Stop asking him!”
“Does the Li family have to announce to the world that they have obtained a treasure?” The Lei family’s First Elder’s voice was loud and clear, so his shout immediately attracted the attention of others.
Under everyone’s gaze, the Li family’s patriarch could only smile even more awkwardly.
The queen also turned to look at the Li family’s patriarch with some dissatisfaction.
The Li family’s patriarch couldn’t defend himself and could only drink his wine in silence.
Although the representatives of the three major sects didn’t see Kong Rui riding the griffin into the arena, the scene of the griffin rushing into the Bestial Battle Arena to save its master was still vivid in everyone’s minds.
How good must their coordination be to achieve such an effect?!
This unknown little girl could actually reach such a tacit understanding with a divine beast. She was really a rare genius!
Chu Qing was an impatient person to begin with. He shouted in Kong Rui’s direction, “How old is the little girl this year? Does she have a master?”
Hearing Chu Qing’s words, everyone present was surprised.
Was the Profound Heaven Sect interested in the little girl of the Li family?
The Beast Fighting Feast had yet to begin, but the first offer wasn’t given to the princess, who was born with phoenix essence, or the famous Nie Yin, but this unknown little girl?
As soon as Chu Qing spoke, Hong Ling was naturally not to be outdone. “Little girl, ignore that rough man!”
“What do you think of me? Do you want to follow me?” Hong Ling’s tone was gentle and charming, making all the men present feel tantalized.
Chu Qing snorted and said to Hong Ling, “What do you mean?”
“What do I mean?” Hong Ling stuck out her chin and snorted. “We depend on our own abilities to poach people. Isn’t that a long-established rule?”
