Towards her father's favouritism, Gu Xin Yan could not feel it. She had mentioned it before but Gu Yi had diverted her attention away with various topics.
It wasn't that Gu Xin Yan had not thought of befriending Gu Ying when she was young. Gu Yi only had a pair of children and Gu Ying had always been extremely good looking which made Gu Xin Yan yearn to get close to him.
In the beginning, the relationship between the two of them was not as distant as it was now. Gu Xin Yan had always strided her short legs behind Gu Ying, calling him Big Brother Big Brother. But it was not known from when it started that Gu Ying started to distance himself from her, even resorting to bloody methods to make her fear him, not daring to take a single step closer.
Gradually, the two of them became more and more unfamiliar and Gu Ying's viciousness made Gu Xin Yan's heart tremble with fear.
The Blood Fiend Palace's zither played melodiously and the dancers danced gracefully within the palace. The youths who had just returned felt their hearts surge with emotion as they watched.
But no one noticed Gu Ying who should have been at Gu Yi's side but had ended up being kept at a corner.
He sat in a place where the lights did not reach, within the shadows, seemingly out of tune with everything here.
He drank his wine quietly, the corners of his mouth curled up in a wild and uninhibited smile, taking in all the singing and dancing.
"I heard that something happened on your way back?" Gu Yi turned his head to look at Gu Xin Yan and asked with a smile.
Gu Xin Yan was slightly taken aback. "Is Father referring to the matter between the Pure Grace Palace and the Dragon Slayers Palace?"
Gu Yi nodded.
The Dragon Slayers Palace's position among the Twelve Palaces was only inferior to the Blood Fiend Palace and the Flame Demons Palace and it could be said that they possessed extremely powerful might while the Pure Grace Palace's might was a little weaker. Originally, the two palaces would not have any conflict but unfortunately, after they came down from Mount Fu Yao, an accident had occurred.
From Mount Fu Yao, the routes for the various palaces were similar and after a day's journey, they would rest for a while and the teams from the various palaces were not too far apart.
However, just as the various palaces were resting, something that was neither too big nor too small happened.
A disciple from the Pure Grace Palace, not knowing whether he was just too daring for lust or something else, actually dared to take liberties with the Dragon Slayers Palace's Fei Yan, which immediately stirred up a huge storm.
Fei Yan had stood out prominently in this year's Battle of Deities Grand Meet and had attracted the attention of quite a number of people. Although she was "a girl", she possessed powers that did not pale in comparison to any of the youths, and was one of the new powers that the Dragon Slayers Palace had wanted to groom, which was highly valued.
But this Fei Yan, besides possessing a powerful Ring Spirit and outstanding powers, also possessed highly striking looks. His good looks had attracted the attention of quite a number of youthful and exuberant youths, but most of them were still rational and did not dare to go provoke the Dragon Slayers Palace, where they could only hide their petty thoughts deep within their hearts.
However, a disciple of the Pure Grace Palace had been audacious enough to trick Fei Yan into going into the dense forest in the dead of the night, in a futile attempt to commit treacherous acts. In the end, he had been severely wounded by Fei Yan's Ring Spirit, and had even startled the people from the various palaces awake from their slumber.
That incident had immediately caused the people from the Dragon Slayers Palace and the Pure Grace Palace to get into an argument on the spot. If not for the fact that there were people from the other palaces present, it was feared that the people from both sides would have already come to blows right there.
After hearing Gu Xin Yan's words, the corners of Gu Yi's mouth curled into a sneer.
"I'm afraid things aren't that simple right? That Fei Yan's powers are not weak and there are very few among the bunch of youths from the Pure Grace Palace who are a match for him, so why would they be so ignorant as to provoke him? I'm afraid that this incident was purposely done by the Dragon Slayers Palace. "
