Chapter 29
Not to mention the other clan elders present, even Wen Ling was amused.
Wen Qiong grabbed her skirt tightly with both hands and tried her best not to rush out to slap that little slut!
“I have a phoenix essence! I hatched the phoenix! Why are these people fighting over this little b*tch?! Wen Qiong thought to herself.
Seeing that Hong Ling and Chu Qing were about to confront each other in public, the Queen hurriedly said, “Venerable Ones, today is only the opening ceremony of the spirit beast competition. The descendants of the various clans haven’t had the chance to showcase themselves yet!”
“Why don’t the two of you wait until after the competition?” the queen said, glancing in Kong Rui’s direction.
The queen thought to herself, “This wretched girl doesn’t know her limits. I must remind the patriarch to discipline her when we get back!”
When he heard the Queen speak, the Li family’s patriarch finally responded, “That’s right! The spirit beast competition hasn’t started yet. My little girl is just young and doesn’t know how to restrain herself.”
Naturally, Li family’s patriarch didn’t say so only because of the queen’s status.
After all, the queen married out from the Li family.
Over the years, the queen had used the Li family’s resources to supplement the royal family. The Li family just wanted to use the royal family’s connections to make things more convenient for them.
It was a mutually beneficial relationship, so now wasn’t the time to fall out.
“I think Ling’er isn’t feeling well. Why don’t you go back and rest early?” The queen looked at Kong Rui lovingly, like an elder caring for a junior.
If Kong Rui stayed here, everyone’s attention would be on her. Then, Qiong’er would have no chance!
With the queen’s decree, Kong Rui bowed to the Li clan leader and left the banquet.
The queen’s eyes narrowed dangerously as she looked at Kong Rui, who hadn’t even glanced at her the entire time. A murderous look flashed across her eyes.
If not for the fact that there were so many outsiders present, she would definitely let that cocky girl know what respect was!
After Kong Rui left, Chu Qing and Hong Ling had no one to fight over. They snorted and returned to their seats.
Seeing this, Wen Qiong hurriedly raised her cup and said to the representatives of the three major sects, “I’m extremely happy that the three Venerables are here today.”
“I’ve always yearned for the three major sects. Unfortunately, I’ve never been able to go.” Wen Qiong sighed regretfully.
Hong Ling smiled and said to Wen Qiong, “The princess is always welcome in High Heaven Pavilion! Of course, it would be best to bring the little phoenix along!”
Wen Qiong’s smile was dignified, but she was already cursing Hong Ling inwardly.
If she could hatch the little phoenix, she would have shown off to the world long ago!
At that time, the High Heaven Pavilion would probably be fighting over her!
Chu Qing drank in silence.
Although his mission this time was to see the little phoenix hatched by the princess, the griffin was more in line with the methods of the Profound Heaven Sect.
He decided to report this matter to the Sect Master. He had to think of a way to get that little girl from the Li family back to the Profound Heaven Sect!
Wen Ling was a scholar to begin with. When he heard Wen Qiong’s words, he raised his wine glass and gestured.
However, the wine didn’t enter his stomach.
Wen Ling put the glass back on the table and returned to watching the drama.
The three sects clearly didn’t take Wen Qiong seriously.
Wen Qiong gritted her teeth and said to the female slave, “Go! Bring me the little phoenix!”
Weren’t these people here for the phoenix!?
This time, she would show them!
The queen immediately hushed her. “Hold!”
“This is a feast. Why did you ask them to bring the phoenix here?” The queen’s expression was the same, but her tone was one of disapproval.
Wen Qiong pursed her lips and said impatiently, “These people look down on me! Their minds are all on the little phoenix!”
The queen turned her head slightly and looked down. “That forbidden technique can only be used once a day. You still have to perform tomorrow. Don’t let anything happen before that!”
Despite her reluctance, Wen Qiong nodded and swallowed her anger.
She thought to herself, “When I can completely subdue that little bastard, I’ll make all of you kneel in front of me and bow down!”
