None of the other veteran and top faction leaders wanted to spare Gao Pei even a glance.Gao Pei was the biggest winner at the Guard Ye Banquet. Not only was his son a part of the group, but he also seemed even closer to the Moon Empress and Chief Guard Ye’s disciples than Long Tao and Li Xuan were.Moreover, Gao Feng had caught the eye of Cicada Song and was likely to be announced asAds by PubfutureCicada Song’s disciple in the Guard Ye Banquet.Gao Pei must have amazing luck to have such a son.As for Sun Ningxiang, the veteran and top faction leaders were torn.There had been rumors that there had been some changes to the Sun family, and it was likely that they would fall from the ranks of top factions.But now, it seemed that there was more than met the eye to Condense Fairy Orchard.Many top factions intending to prey on top factions were now in turmoil.At that moment, Zong Ze walked out of the long corridor, and Chef Supreme’s expression lightened.It had already been about 23 minutes since the Arts Stage component had begun, and it was expected that Zong Ze would emerge at such a time.When he saw Zong Ze, the Bamboo Monarch, who had been mostly silent since Gu Lang entered the Arts Stage, said, “The two fellows set to participate in the Martial Stage component have arrived.”The Bamboo Monarch turned to look at the Moon Empress.He had seen Zong Ze’s powers for himself during all the time that Zong Ze had been around Gu Lang.The Martial Stage component would demonstrate how powerful the Moon Empress’ disciple was when it came to battle.…Gao Feng lunged at Lin Yuan and wrapped him in a bear hug.When Gao Feng patted someone on the shoulder, the person would feel like a block had hit them.During the hug, Lin Yuan felt like a tank was crushing him.After being squeezed by Gao Feng, Liu Jie hastily pulled them apart when he saw Lin Yuan’s red face.Long Tao, Li Xuan, and Sun Ningxiang also approached them.Gao Feng chuckled and said, “Congratulations, Brother! You’re the first to complete the Arts Stage component!”Lin Yuan smiled but not because he had won the Arts Stage component.
