The six disciples from the Zephyr Academy seemed to have been cursed. Throughout the banquet, many disciples were pointing and whispering at them. The Zephyr Academy had already attracted a lot of "attention" this year and with Lei Chen's special treatment, they were immediately pushed to the forefront.
In all fairness, although the six youths possessed outstanding looks, but to the other youths, they did not like them in the slightest. Afterall, they were all here to make a name for themselves in this year's Spirit Battle Tournament and the tournament had not even begun and the disciples from the Zephyr Academy had already won the Crown Prince's favour. How could they possibly be happy about that?
"Meow ~" The little black cat lay upon Jun Xie's lap, its sensitive ears picking up on all the insults and sarcasm as it swished its tail leisurely.
[This bunch of brats, why are they all so free?] [This is just a Spirit Battle Tournament, why is it like the Crown Prince is choosing his Imperial Concubine, every single one of them acting like jealous wives.]
Lei Chen had merely said one sentence to Jun Xie and all these people were already looking at Jun Xie like they wanted nothing more than to gnaw on him.
Jun Xie gently stroked the little black cat's soft fur, turning a deaf ear to all those words. She had no interest in wasting time with these bunch of brats and the only thing she wanted to do was to use this banquet to get a better understanding of the Crown Prince's situation, so that they would be able to make their move on him after the Spirit Battle Tournament ended.
It might be because the banquet was too noisy and Jun Xie suddenly stood up with the little black cat in his arms. Lei Chen who was chatting happily with the others noticed Jun Xie's actions and he suddenly asked with a smile: "Little brother Jun, what's wrong?"
Jun Xie looked at the smiling Lei Chen and said softly: "It's too hot." She then stood up and walked towards the outside of the banquet. Qiao Chu and the others exchanged a glance, knowing what Jun Xie was going to do, and they continued to chat and laugh.
In order to be courteous and to show their friendliness, the Crown Prince had specially allowed the youths who attended the banquet to walk around the Crown Prince's Residence as they pleased. On one hand, they were able to show their friendliness and on the other hand, they were able to witness the extravagance of the Crown Prince's Residence.
Lei Chen looked at Jun Xie's departing back, his eyes tinged with mirth.
People who were naturally arrogant did not like people who were overly eager to fawn upon them. Although he wanted to win Jun Xie over, he would not blindly pursue him. To make Jun Xie follow him so unswervingly, he naturally had his own plans.
Lei Chen discreetly swept his gaze over the row of youths seated behind him. Those people were all disciples of the Dragon Slayers Academy and at almost the same moment that Jun Xie had stood up to leave, the disciples of the Dragon Slayers Academy had already made their move. They stood up discreetly and followed Jun Xie out.
"Imperial Brother, why are you being so polite to that brat? I don't think she's capable of anything since she's so small and skinny. " Lei Yuan who was gorging himself on the side glanced at Jun Xie's departing back and whispered to Lei Chen beside him.
Lei Chen smiled and said: "For someone to be able to represent the Zephyr Academy in the Spirit Battle Tournament at such a young age is a rare feat. Regardless, he is still the youngest among all the contestants this year and it is only natural that we take care of him a little. Why does my Second Royal Brother have to say that?"
Lei Chen's words were extremely gentle, but the meaning behind his words was very clear. He was indeed taking very good care of Jun Xie and the reason for that was because of Jun Xie's young age. That would not only prevent people from suspecting that he was plotting anything, it would instead make them think that the Yan Country's Crown Prince was as good as the rumours said.
