When Lan Mengqing saw Huang Yueli’s shocked look, she assumed that the latter was afraid. So she couldn’t help but feel complacent.
“That’s right. I’m challenging you!”
Huang Yueli’s eyes widened and she asked curiously, “Who are you? Why do you want to challenge me?”
Lan Mengqing then recalled that this young lady was just a country bumpkin who ascended from the Lower Realm. After she entered the banquet hall, Li Moying had apparently not introduced them, so the other party didn’t know who she was at all!
Although Huang Yueli’s dazed look was not a pretense, Lan Mengqing still felt a little embarrassed to be questioned by her on this kind of occasion.
She gritted her teeth and introduced herself. “I’m Lan Mengqing from the Empyrean Fox Clan! As for why I am challenging you, surely there’s no need for a reason, right? In this kind of banquet, practitioners can casually challenge same generation practitioners to liven up the mood for the banquet!”
“Oh, I see!” Huang Yueli nodded.
Her expression remained unperturbed. Lan Mengqing had imagined that she would be shocked and at a loss, but that did not happen.
In this way, Lan Mengqing suddenly became doubtful.
She thought, “Hasn’t this useless beauty a human who just ascended from the Lower Realm? Her cultivation is probably in the tenth stage realm. However, A Dream Profound Realm peak-phase top exponent like me challenged her, but she doesn’t feel frightened at all?”
“Or is she already used to being protected by Li Moying? That’s why she assumes that the top exponents in God Realm are as weak as those in the Lower Realm?”
“But no matter what kind of situation it is, I have sufficient confidence to defeat this specious woman in one move! I will make her lose face in front of all the guests!”
She was deeply afraid that Huang Yueli would reject her challenge because of fear, so she urged in a pushy tone.
“How is it? Young Madam Li, have you made up your mind yet? Will you accept my challenge or not?”
Lan Mengqing naturally would not suppress her tone when challenging Lan Mengqing. The entire banquet hall could hear her voice clearly.
In an instance, the entire banquet hall’s practitioners broke out into a clamor.
“What’s going on? Young Miss Lan actually challenged Young Madam Li. I’m not hearing things, am I?”
“Lan Mengqing is one of the heaven grade geniuses in the Empyrean Fox Clan. She’s just 30 years old and she’s already in Dream Profound Realm peak-phase cultivation. Among those female practitioners in her generation, she could be counted as one of the top ten ranking practitioners! Yet, she challenged Young Madam Li?”
“Tsk tsk, I think Young Madam Li’s beauty should have enraged the entire audience! Young Miss Lan is trying to intimidate her! I think Young Madam Li is in trouble!”
“How can Young Miss Lan do that? Isn’t this demeaning her own status?”
“That doesn’t sound right. The two of them both bear the ancient god clan’s higher class status, and they are both from the same generation. It’s reasonable for Young Miss Lan to challenge her!”
“Young Madam Li can only blame herself for her lack of cultivation! She’s going to be embarrassed badly this time!”
“Sigh, if it’s just her who is going to be embarrassed, that’s fine. But she is embarrassing Young Master Li! One indeed cannot marry just based on looks!”
Various discussions kept ringing around the banquet hall.
The majority of the practitioners were on Huang Yueli’s side. But a portion of them felt that Lan Mengqing did not do anything wrong.
It was especially so for those young ladies who were smitten by Li Moying when he first stepped in. They were originally jealous of Huang Yueli, yet they did not dare to say much.
Now that Lan Mengqing had jumped out and was about to trash Huang Yueli, they immediately took Lan Mengqing’s side.
