Chapter 23 -『The Victory Feast Will Be Upon Us』

Start from the beginning
                                    

Wei Ying and Jiang Cheng almost detached their head from their necks by how hard they turned to look at Cale who was slowly walking beside Wen Ruohan.

"What the fuㅡ"

Before Wei Ying could complete his sentence, Jiang Cheng immediately covers the older's mouth as they stared at their gege with a baffled look.

Even Jiang Fengmian almost spat out his tea in surprise when he saw Cale following Wen Ruohan in his seat.

"A-Xun?"

Lan Qiren coughed beside him, "Your mouth, Sect Leader Jiang. A fly might find its way to your throat."

Wen Ruohan nods at Cale's way, which the redhead returned with a gesture of bowing before stepping down the stairs.

What happened next almost made the crowd clamor in confusion, especially from those in Yunmeng Jiang.

Cale stood in front of the empty seat of honor and this time, Jiang Fengmian really spat out his tea in surprise.

"Wei Xun. Courtesy name, Wei Xianghuan. This aide of Yunmeng Jiang greets the Sect Leaders of Qishan, Qinghe, Lanling, and Elder Lan of Gusu."

Cale bows in a graceful manner, exuding an aura of nobilty around him.

Wei Ying and Jiang Cheng stared agape, thinking of the same thought at the same time.

'Since when did he became the aide of Yunmeng?!'

"Such exquisite beauty just like the rumors! Even much more beautiful than the women in my Sect, I must say." Jin Guangshan utters his opinion.

The redhead felt weirded out by that statement alone, but he forced himself to smile nonetheless.

"Thank you for the compliment, Sect Leader Jin."

Wen Ruohan who seems to be starting to get annoyed by the long introductions, decided to speak.

"Sit down, Wei Xianghuan."

Cale bows again, this time to the Sect Leader of Qishan Wen before he sat down to the seat of honor comfortably, not sparing a glance to Wen Chao who was staring at him with his disgusting eyes.

"The archery competition of the Qishan Discussion Conference will now begin! Open the barrier!"

Cale could only stare at the barrier in a rather lazy manner before yawning discreetly, still annoyed at Wen Ruohan for making him sit in the seat of honor.

'Ah really. I should've strangled that old man earlier if not for Wen Ning.' He thought before drinking the bitter tea that was served in his table.

An hour earlier, Cale joined Wen Ning in finding his older sister without getting to say something to Wei Ying and Jiang Cheng, since the guy is too naive and stiff like he's a walking corpse.

(He's worried alright.)

"Ah! Qing-jie!"

Cale watches how the younger ran towards his sister like he haven't seen her for so many years, only stopping when he saw another figure beside Wen Qing.

At that point, Cale wants to run away as far as possible when he saw the man.

"Wei Xianghuan?" Wen Qing utters, making Cale sigh in defeat before bowing.

"The disciple of Yunmeng Jiang greets the sun's leader, Sect Leader Wen."

Cale almost activated his glib tongue but managed to stop it in time since his head might detached itself from his neck.
