Miao Yi Niang looked at the man before her with annoyance, but she knew how important the Sect Conference was to Chu Mo. She didn't want to offend the messenger who came to deliver the invitation before the conference began. Enduring her displeasure, she spoke gently, "The King of Chu is very busy with many chores. He will attend the banquet tonight."

"A king from a small mundane world behaving so arrogantly? Truly an eye-opener," Zhou Jun held extreme displeasure in his heart. He rose from his seat and walked a few steps forward, standing less than ten feet away from Miao Yi Niang. Looking down at her coldly he said, "I'm not patient, call Chu Mo to see me within an incense stick worth of time. If not, he must bear the consequences!"

Miao Yi Niang remained seated, without any reaction but a faint smile. "Envoy, you must be tired from the journey. Please rest first, King Chu will definitely attend the evening banquet."

"Did you not understand what I just said?" Zhou Jun stared coldly at Miao Yi Niang, his heart seething in anger. "Or are you proposing to rest with me?"

Miao Yi Niang's eyebrows shot up instantly. Her feelings of repression and anger are no less than Chu Mo's!

She always appeared strong because she did not want Chu Mo's mood to be affected. But who would know about her sadness and grief?

Among the deceased were her fellow apprentices, whom she never got a chance to meet before they were permanently separated by death; there was Xu Fufu, the one who saved her life, and Liu Mei'er, a good friend she had known for many years. When she learnt about their deaths, she could hardly believe they were really gone.

Their faces and their laughter still lingered in her mind, as if she had just seen them yesterday.

But the harsh reality of unmarked graves reminded her; she would never see those people again!

Miao Yi Niang shed countless tears behind Chu Mo's back. Who would know about this?

"Envoy Zhou, please mind your manners." Miao Yi Niang looked coldly at the man with a raging fire in his eyes, and spoke coldly.

Just then, the door was pushed open. It was Xiyue, who had come with Xu Zhongliang's party. The little girl who was once tutored personally by Miao Yi Niang had now grown into a lovely young woman.

Although Xiyue isn't strong, she is extremely loyal. Hearing the commotion inside, she pushed the door open and entered immediately.

Zhou Jun turned around and saw that it was the pretty servant girl who had just been serving the tea. A wicked glint appeared in his eyes, and he coldly said, "I didn't expect you to be so unaware of your place. Well, let this servant girl accompany me!"

Xiyue had no idea what was happening. Her big watery eyes looked a little lost as she glanced at Miao Yi Niang.

Miao Yi Niang waived her off, "Xiyue, you can leave now."

Xiyue hesitated slightly.

"You don't need to close the door." Miao Yi Niang inhaled deeply and spoke coldly.

A cold smile spread across Zhou Jun's face. He thought to himself: Does it matter if the door is closed?

Then he looked sternly at Miao Yi Niang, "So? Your small Chu Kingdom and dilapidated Piaomiao Palace are so petty? Can't even afford to spare a servant girl?"

Miao Yi Niang looked at Zhou Jun, "Envoy Zhou."

"Hmm?" Zhou Jun looked back arrogantly.

"You should go." Miao Yi Niang said.

"What? What did you say? Say that again!" Zhou Jun instantly jumped up like an angry dog, his face twisted and sneering, his gaze monstrous as he looked at Miao Yi Niang, as though he was about to eat her alive.

"I said you should go. We've received the invitation you delivered, and we'll attend the Sect Conference on schedule." Miao Yi Niang's face regained its calm as she looked at Zhou Jun, "However, you are not welcome here."

"Hahaha, I thought you had the guts to refuse the Sect Conference!" Zhou Jun burst into laughter, his heart having just skipped a beat. If this prickly woman had directly rejected his invitation, he would have been in a difficult position.

Because before he left, the sect leader had instructed him to deliver the invitation into the hands of the King of Chu no matter what!

Although Zhou Jun was a little too arrogant, he was not so stupid as to not realize the importance of the King of Chu from his leader's attitude. The invitation had to be handed over to him to ensure his attendance to the Sect Conference.

If this woman had really said we won't go, he would have been caught off guard.

But now, this woman didn't dare to say they weren't going. This gave Zhou Jun some reassurance.

Zhou Jun looked at Miao Yi Niang coldly and started to scheme, how can he make this disobedient woman learn her lesson deeply?

After some thought, there was nothing more satisfying than possessing a woman's body.

Therefore, Zhou Jun's courage bolstered. "So I'm not welcomed. Fine, I will leave. But... You can forget about seeing the invitation to the Sect Conference!"

With that, Zhou Jun turned to leave.

Miao Yi Niang furrowed her brows slightly. "Wait."

"What, you have thought it through? Hmph, now simply letting that servant girl stay with me isn't sufficient anymore, you must also...what are you doing?" Zhou Jun was speaking with smug satisfaction until he saw Miao Yi Niang's figure move. A huge pressure pressed down on him. Zhou Jun was shocked. He didn't even get to finish his sentence when he felt a strike to his left cheek, as though a mountain had crashed into him. The powerful force immediately sent his body flying.

Bang!

Zhou Jun's body directly smashed through a brick wall and was thrown harshly outside.

Before he could regain his senses, he felt his body being kicked up once again and was kicked numerous times while still in mid-air.

Initially, he could feel intense pain spreading all over, but very soon, he could no longer feel any pain.

Because he had fainted.

After an unknown period of time, Zhou Jun groggily woke up. The moment he tried to move, he let out a cry of agony.

Everywhere on his body was in excruciating pain, he didn't know how many bones were broken.

He then opened his eyes and saw a graceful figure standing next to him through the blur.

"Y-you dare t-to beat...the Sect Conference's...messenger. The...Sect Conference...will not...let you go!" Zhou Jun's words were slurred and indistinct, and then he fell to one side, vomiting a large amount of blood and broken teeth.

After guessing for a while, Miao Yi Niang figured out what he was trying to say: You dare to assault the envoy of the Sect Conference, the Sect Conference will surely not let you go.

"Do you want to die?" A chilling voice came from the graceful figure.

"You...you dare kill me?" Zhou Jun's voice trembled. He did not expect such a delicate woman to have such terrifying power that she could defeat a disciple (him) of the Sect without any resistance.

"If you desire death, I'll grant it to you!" Miao Yi Niang coldly said. A wave of killing intent emanated from her instantly. [To be continued...]
