Chapter 970: Salvage? How?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Miao Qi looked grim as she stared at the elderly man.

Miao Qi’s words completely lacked respect for her father, who was the leader of Connected Beast Park.

The elderly man scoffed at Miao Qi but did not say anything more.

However, he swung the vase even quicker and smashed it down on Miao Zhuo.

Miao Zhuo was dripping in sweat, and he did not dare to defend himself despite quivering in agony. He was afraid that defending himself would only result in the elderly man becoming angrier and lead to a heavier beating.

As a pinnacle Class 4 Creation Master, Miao Qi was one of the main members of Connected Beast Park.

Thus, the elderly man had to show concern for her feelings despite her being his daughter.

Miao Qi could not sit there and watch Miao Zhuo being hit anymore. She stepped up and stopped her father as she said, “Father, although Miao Zhuo caused trouble, he’s still a pinnacle Class 3 Creation Master. A young pinnacle Class 3 Creation Master is an asset to the family. Are you really going to kill him? The milk has been spilled, and you’ve vented your anger. We should think of how to salvage the situation instead of hurting Miao Zhuo out of anger.”

When she mentioned salvaging the situation, her voice trembled slightly.

Although both she and Miao Zhuo had been chased out of the Guard Ye Banquet, the entirety of the situation had become known to the Elders of the Miao family.

She had also heard about it.

She did not expect Wang Fuxiang’s bad luck to have such a serious effect on the Bamboo Monarch.

Miao Qi had put on a weak front when she faced Wang Fuxiang at the Midnight Palace because she did not have any strength to put on display in the first place.

She knew full well how much the Bamboo Monarch loved Wang Fuxiang.

In spite of that, Miao Qi had still dared to say those offensive words to Wang Fuxiang and try her best to tear Wang Fuxiang down.

But after Xia Chen had come out and confirmed Wang Fuxiang’s status, Miao Qi dared not say anything else.

Getting kicked out of the Midnight Palace for affronting Wang Fuxiang was the greatest humiliation that Miao Qi had ever suffered.

She had embarrassed herself in front of all the top and veteran factions.

It was likely that her juniors in other families had found out about this matter and were using her as a casual joke.

How could she not resent this?

Miao Qi prayed that the Bamboo Monarch was in worse shape than she thought.

As long as his condition worsened, Wang Fuxiang would also die eventually.

Miao Qi dared to pursue the Bamboo Monarch because she had researched a topic under him and helped him.

The Bamboo Monarch was gentle. As long as she and her family stayed away from Wang Fuxiang from now on, the Bamboo Monarch would not come after them. At the very most, Wang Fuxiang would use the Bamboo Monarch’s reputation to intimidate the Miao family.

The Miao family’s role was in the direction of Creation Masters.

Even if they were intimidated, they would not be too severely affected.

Hence, the only consequence of the commotion at the Guard Ye Banquet would be the humiliation she was suffering.

However, she had not expected Miao Zhuo would start trouble with Sun Ningxiang.

It would have been fine because there were often scuffles when young disciples gathered together. The major factions would not think much of it as long as the aftermath was not too serious.

Yet, Miao Zhuo had disrespected the Moon Empress’ disciple and made Chief Guard Ye’s disciple despise him.

Because of this incident, Furnace Stone Metal and Four Beasts Territory had also canceled their partnerships with Connected Beast Park.

Apparently, they were now working with Coiling Dragon’s Valley instead.

Coiling Dragon’s Valley and Connected Beast Park had always been rivals. In fact, Coiling Dragon’s Valley had been one step ahead for some time.

The Miao family had spent years trying to catch up to Coiling Dragon’s Valley and had even tried to target Condense Fairy Orchard.

However, Miao Zhuo’s mistake had led to Connected Beast Park being utterly defeated by Coiling Dragon’s Valley. This disintegrated Connected Beast Park’s network of connections while strengthening Coiling Dragon’s Valley’s.

If Miao Zhuo had not already been beaten black and blue, Miao Qi might have thrown in a few blows of her own.

Rumor had it that the Golden Lotus Brocade Pearls, which the Elders of Miao family desperately wanted, came from the Moon Empress.

Just as Connected Beast Park was about to visit the Moon Empress to ask her if she could give them a few Golden Lotus Brocade Pearls, Miao Zhuo had disrespected the Moon Empress’ disciple. Therefore, the Moon Empress had also been disrespected.

In such a situation, there was no way that Connected Beast Park would dare to go to Leaning Moon Mountain to ask for Golden Lotus Brocade Pearls.

Given the Moon Empress’ temper, she might even start targeting Connected Beast Park.

“Salvage? How? The Elders discussed it all afternoon and couldn’t come up with anything. Even if we do come up with a plan to salvage the situation, who would dare to go up to Leaning Moon Mountain? If this situation isn’t resolved perfectly, all our future partnerships will be affected. In the worst case, all our partnerships will be canceled. Even if not all of them are canceled, Connected Beast Park’s position amongst the factions will be weakened. This is all because of this brat,” said Miao Zhenshan

Miao Zhenshen’s words left Miao Qi speechless.

At that moment, Zheng Kaiyuan rolled his eyes and said, “Grandfather, Master, I think I have a plan.”

Miao Zhenshen and Miao Qi frowned when they heard Zheng Kaiyuan chime in. They were about to rebuke him, but they remembered that the other Elders would want a first-hand account of what happened during the Guard Ye Banquet.

However, they did not plan on taking him seriously.

The entire Miao family was in emergency mode due to this incident.

What could Zheng Kaiyuan do about it?
