The person who spoke was none other than the Second Prince, Lei Yuan. The current Emperor of the Yan Country had a total of four sons. The Crown Prince was born to the Empress while the Second and Third Princes were born to the Imperial Concubines. Their statuses were naturally incomparable to the Crown Prince, Lei Chen. Lei Chen was the eldest son and was also the most outstanding among all the princes, hence, his position as the Crown Prince was highly secure. Although the youngest prince of the Yan Country was not born to the Empress, his mother had passed away early and he had been raised by the Empress' side.
The banquet this year was hosted by the Crown Prince, Lei Chen. The other princes had come as well, but the banquet had not yet begun and only Lei Yuan had come. Lei Yuan's rotund body looked rather large and the fat on his face had squeezed his rather good looking features out of shape. Even though he was dressed in a luxurious brocade robe, he did not look the slightest bit noble, but instead exuded a wretched air.
Lei Yuan's voice was not soft and the youths seated around him could hear him clearly. When they heard Lei Yuan's words, they secretly snickered. They did not think that the Zephyr Academy would still receive such preferential treatment, but Lei Chen's actions had confused them. But Lei Yuan's words, were exactly what they wanted.
"Second Royal Brother, do not spout nonsense." Lei Chen looked at Lei Yuan and shook his head, seemingly displeased with Lei Yuan's rude words.
But Lei Yuan's expression was one of complete indifference. His gaze swept over Jun Xie and the others, his eyes filled with disdain.
"My Royal Brother is just too good natured. Be careful not to let that kind of personality of yours be used by others to purposely cling onto you."
Lei Chen said reproachfully as he looked at Lei Yuan, and then turned to Jun Xie apologetically, seemingly apologizing for Lei Yuan's disrespect.
Jun Xie glanced at the two Lei brothers, her eyes calm, not showing the joy of Lei Chen's generous treatment, nor the anger of Lei Yuan's sarcasm, calm as still water.
She did not think that Lei Chen was truly being nice to the Zephyr Academy. With the Crown Prince's intelligence, it was impossible that he would not be aware of the Zephyr Academy's current predicament. It was already highly conspicuous and he had purposely given them special treatment in front of everyone. That was not a show of kindness, but a move to push the Zephyr Academy into the eye of the storm. If not for Lei Chen's actions, where would Lei Yuan's sarcasm come from?
The Crown Prince was probably not a kind person.
Jun Wu Xie was calm as ever, but she could faintly feel several scorching gazes upon her. She turned her head around and saw several youths dressed in the uniform of the Dragon Slayers Academy seated not too far away, their faces filled with displeasure. She swept her gaze over them indifferently and turned her eyes away.
When Lei Chen had gone to the Immortals' Loft previously, he had publicly humiliated the Dragon Slayers Academy and now that the people from the Dragon Slayers Academy had come face to face with Jun Xie and his companions, their eyes had turned red with hatred.
If the Zephyr Academy was still as glorious as it had been in the past, it would not have mattered much. But the Zephyr Academy had fallen into decline and Lei Chen had even brought this bunch of trash to humiliate them. They did not dare to show any dissatisfaction towards Lei Chen, but towards the disciples of the Zephyr Academy, a raging fire of enmity had been ignited within them.
"Those people are from the Zephyr Academy?"
"It's just an embroidered pillow. It's good to look at but useless." Several disciples of the Dragon Slayers Academy said with a sneer. They had not intentionally lowered their voices, but seemed like they wanted Jun Xie and the others to hear them.
Before the banquet even started, the banquet hall was already filled with smoke.
