Chapter 859: Li Xuan Are You Jealous?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Iron Prison’s heart was aching, and it greatly displeased him that the Moon Empress had taken his sacred source lifeform. However, the Moon Empress was willing to look at his feys and had asked him to prepare creation crystals.

This meant that the Moon Empress was willing to help his stuck feys break through.

Compared to an increase in his own powers, losing one sacred source lifeform did not seem that important anymore.

Iron Prison did not know how he exactly felt about the Moon Empress, but he did know that he was grateful to her.

Behind the screen of the phone on the center seat of the 13 seats, an elderly man sat on a lounge chair in the imperial court.

His calm expression turned into one of surprise when he heard what the Moon Empress said. But soon, the surprise turned into gladness.

The Zhao Xiyue who had continued to do things her way even after becoming a Radiance Envoy was now a Master and was starting to take others’ feelings into consideration.

Although the elderly man had yet to see the Moon Empress’ disciple, he had heard from Cicada Song that the disciple’s name was Lin Yuan.

He also knew which disciple standing outside the Midnight Palace Lin Yuan was.

The elderly man looked at Lin Yuan curiously to see what was so special about this young man that he had managed to subtly change the Moon Empress’ personality and temperament.

All the veteran and top faction leaders outside the Midnight Palace were disappointed.

The Martial Stage had ended with Chief Guard Ye’s disciple as the winner.

The members of royalty’s promises were gold, and Iron Prison would not be accepting any disciples from the Guard Ye Banquet.

All the veteran and top faction leaders looked at Gao Pei furiously.

Gao Pei’s son had received Night Leaning Moon’s praise, the Moon Empress’ recommendation, and Cicada Song’s admission that they were fated. Hence, it was all but certain that Gao Feng would become Cicada Song’s disciple.

At that moment, an excited voice suddenly shouted from the area outside the Midnight Palace, “Yay! I’m the second-place winner of the Martial Stage!”

All the surrendered challengers shared looks when they heard Gao Feng’s voice.

Those challengers did not want to congratulate Gao Feng at all, and they agreed that he had just been lucky.

When Wang An heard Gao Feng’s voice, he almost slapped himself.

If only he had not been so eager to demonstrate his power, he would have been the second-place winner of the Martial Stage.

You Zhe walked out from the area where the Arts Stage was being held, followed by Long Tao and a girl with average features.

The girl looked to be about 24 years old, just like Long Tao.

She was holding a thick book and had a serious expression on her face. She looked like a nerd that had lost herself in her books.

However, no one was looking down on this average-looking girl.

The girl and Long Tao followed You Zhe out of the Arts Stage, meaning that she and You Zhe had finished their topics and had passed the Arts Stage.

Along with Gu Lang, who had returned to the area outside the Midnight Palace some time ago, three people had already completed the Arts Stage.

This meant that the Arts Stage was over.

However, they did not know who between Long Tao and the average-looking girl had attained second and third place.

After You Zhe led Long Tao and the average-looking girl out of the long corridor, the disciples of the veteran and top factions who had not managed to complete their topics walked out of the area where the Art Stage was being held with long faces.

Once the Arts Stage ended, the challengers who had yet to finish their topic lost their chance.

Long Tao immediately saw Gu Lang smiling and chatting with Zong Ze when he stepped out of the long corridor.

Long Tao’s expression faltered, but he did not look surprised at all.

He had already predicted early on that Gu Lang would finish before him, and he was anxious to find out how long it had taken Gu Lang to finish his topic for the Arts Stage so that he could know how much it differed from his own time.

You Zhe turned to walk towards Zuo Ming after he led Long Tao and the average-looking girl to the area outside the Midnight Palace.

Zuo Ming and You Zhe were only in charge of hosting the Arts Stage and Martial Stage, but they did not have to announce the results.

When the Guard Ye Banquet started, the challengers who had won would receive the honor of personally receiving their prizes from Chief Guard Ye.

The average-looking girl was about to find a place to sit to read the thick book she was carrying when Long Tao grabbed her hand.

She was flustered and looked at Long Tao in confusion.

Nonetheless, she stopped walking and remained standing by his side.

Although she did not speak, her expression seemed to be asking Long Tao why he had stopped her.

Gao Feng had been excitedly waiting for Long Tao to ask him what his topic for the Arts Stage had been.

The Martial Arts Stage would be carried out in the same way as the Arts Stage and Martial Stage had been.

The Martial Arts Stage was the combination of both the Arts Stage and Martial Stage.

Lin Yuan was going to participate in the Martial Arts Stage, and asking Long Tao about his topic would give Lin Yuan some sort of assurance.

However, Gao Feng did not expect Long Tao to grab the girl’s wrist.

“Lin Yuan, do you think Long Tao is interested in the girl who came out with him?”

Lin Yuan did not know how to respond and opted to touch the stray hair on the back of his head.

When the almost unassuming Li Xuan heard what Gao Feng said, he started to sputter and cough violently before saying, “Don’t worry, there’s no way that Long Tao would be interested in her.”

Li Xuan sounded so certain because he knew Long Tao well.

Long Tao had always placed emphasis on looks. One had to know that Li Xuan had been a chubby child. His looks had only improved to an acceptable level when he was six years old, and it was only then that Long Tao started to play with him.

Long Tao had always been strict about male’s appearances, much less female.

Although Long Tao was no longer as appearance-orientated as he used to be, there was no way that the professional Long Tao would discuss personal feelings during such an event.

Hence, Long Tao had to have another reason for grabbing the girl’s hand.

Li Xuan had a feeling that he knew why Long Tao had done so.

When Gao Feng heard Li Xuan’s resolute response, he shot Li Xuan a suspicious look and thought,?Is Li Xuan jealous?
