Actually, Tang Li Xue had already seen Instructor Mei Lan's father, Councillor Junjie, a few times before.
But today's Councillor Junjie clearly looked different compared to the one Tang Li Xue had seen before.
'What the heck?! Isn't he suddenly looking so much younger and handsome today?! He looks like Instructor Lan's brother instead today!' Tang Li Xue thought in astonishment.
Despite her curiosity, Tang Li Xue really did not dare to face Instructor Mei Lan's father because she had already troubled him twice previously.
First, when she previously evolved into [Imperial Sun and Moon Fox], she accidentally ruined Councillor Junjie's secret garden... err, no... he called it the heavenly courtyard.
Second, when Little Loki was still an egg, it went on a rampage in hunger at the plaza inside the Auction House, if not for Instructor Mei Lan's timely help, Councillor Junjie would have already found Little Loki's egg, and he might have annihilate it on the spot.
In short, there was nothing good happened each time Tang Li Xue met with Councillor Junjie before.
Councillor Junjie glanced at Tang Li Xue coldly for a moment before he looked away while snorting in displeasure: "Humph~!"
Tang Li Xue's pink lips twitched slightly as she swallowed back the greeting words she wanted to say to Councillor Junjie.
All right, it seems this narrow-minded old fox still remembers the matter about Tang Li Xue ruining his previous heavenly courtyard...
But Instructor Mei Lan quickly pulled Tang Li Xue away from Teacher Li Wei while interrogating Tang Li Xue with her telepathy: "Little Xue, why do you attend this congratulation ceremony with that Sissy Wei?! Do you know that you are not suitable to meddle with this kind of political conference?!"
Tang Li Xue could only show her helpless expression and replied back with telepathy: "I am sorry, Instructor Lan, but I really have no other choice. I already owe Teacher Li Wei several requests, and I also need him to do something extremely important for me, so I can only do my best to help Teacher Li Wei today."
Instructor Mei Lan frowned deeply after she heard Tang Li Xue's explanation.
The matter about this Fallen Ancient Sect's Secret Realm was not an easy one to be handled.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMoreover, Tang Li Xue did not have any strong background to back her up like Teacher Li Wei or Instructor Mei Lan herself.
Instructor Mei Lan glared resentfully at Teacher Li Wei, but Teacher Li Wei smiled playfully at Instructor Mei Lan instead while saying: "Sister Mei Lan, you are really too overprotective of your own students. It is clearly not good for their growth."
"The strong tree will indeed attract wind, but how could the tree grow to become strong if it did not face wind and rain?" Teacher Li Wei muttered to Instructor Mei Lan.
Instructor Mei Lan really wanted to argue and scold Teacher Li Wei so badly, but this was clearly not the right time to do it, so she could only smile extremely gently at Teacher Li Wei instead.
Tang Li Xue's slender body shuddered violently when she saw Instructor Mei Lan's extremely gentle smile since she had always seen this kind of smile each time Instructor Mei Lan wanted to punish her harshly.
President Zi Hua also smiled and greeted Councillor Junjie: "Good evening, Councillor Junjie~!"
Councillor Junjie also smiled and nodded politely at President Zi Hua: "Hey, good evening too, Miss Zi Hua! Thank you very much for your previous gift."
President Zi Hua shook her head and generously said: "It was just a small gift. I am really happy if it can make Councillor Junjie happy."
Next, President Zi Hua, Councillor Junjie, and Teacher Li Wei greeted many important guests while Tang Li Xue and Instructor Mei Lan only followed behind them silently.
Of course, Tang Li Xue and Instructor Mei Lan still showed their beautiful smile to everyone while nodding at them from time to time, but they did not join their conversation at all.
Right at this time, Princess Yan Fei, Bingbing, and Silly Fox finally also reached the venue where the congratulations ceremony was being held.
Unfortunately, they could not enter because they did not have any invitation cards or any acquaintances there.
Silly Fox displeasantly said to Princess Yan Fei: "Aren't you Sea Beast Princess? Can you ask someone here to bring us inside?!"
Princess Yan Fei rolled her eyes and replied in a disdainful tone: "Are you stupid or what?! This is Fox Race's home, not Sea Beast Race's home! How could I have any connection with important foxes here?!"
Bingbing rubbed her forehead while complaining: "Then how could we go inside there? Should we use force to enter that place?"
Silly Fox sneered mockingly at Bingbing: "There are so many foxes at True Spirit Beast level inside there. Even if you have several hundreds of lives, you will still definitely die if you dare to forcefully enter that place!"
Just when the trio Princess Yan Fei, Bingbing, and Silly Fox completely ran out of wits to enter the venue of the congratulation ceremony was being held...
"Hic... What are you three doing here?" A masculine voice asked in a slurred tone.
"Eh, Teacher Bai Wuchen?!" Bingbing and Silly Fox exclaimed in shock and surprise.
Yes, the one who had called them just now was Teacher Bai Wuchen who had come to the congratulation ceremony with a beautiful blonde fox lady.
"Who are these kids? Your students?" The beautiful blonde fox lady with long golden hair, yellow fox tails, and yellow fox ears asked while smiling politely at the trio of Princess Yan Fei, Bingbing, and Silly Fox.
"Hic... Err, not really... To be exact, they are Mei Lan's students. You should know her, right?" Teacher Bai Wuchen replied leisurely."Oh, I see... So, they are Mei Lan's cute students." The beautiful blonde fox lady smiled even more kindly at them.
While Princess Yan Fei and Bingbing were still too shy to say anything, Silly Fox was the first one to step forward to ask: "Teacher Bai Wuchen and... Err, Teacher Bai Wuchen's wife? Can you please bring us in? Our friend is inside, but we cannot enter because we do not have any invitation cards."
Teacher Bai Wuchen almost slipped and fell down when he heard Silly Fox's words.
He immediately scolded: "You little brat, how could you call her that?!"
But the beautiful blonde fox lady slapped the back of Teacher Bai Wuchen's head angrily while saying in a chilling tone: "What?! Do you mean I do not deserve to be your wife?!"
Teacher Bai Wuchen shuddered as he quickly explained: "Of course not~! I mean I am the one who is still not good enough to be your husband."
"Humph~! So, you still have your conscience!" The beautiful blonde fox lady said smugly before she pulled the trio of Princess Yan Fei, Bingbing, and Silly Fox to enter the venue with her.
Teacher Bai Wuchen wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with his sleeve while glaring resentfully at Silly Fox from behind.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSilly Fox shuddered slightly in fright when he sensed Teacher Bai Wuchen's resentful glare stabbed from behind him.
The trio Princess Yan Fei, Bingbing, and Silly Fox were still extremely confused about the vague relationship between Teacher Bai Wuchen and the beautiful blonde fox lady, but they did not dare to ask about it.
Anyway, they successfully entered the venue of the congratulation ceremony and were ready to look for Tang Li Xue.
.....
Back to Tang Li Xue and Instructor Mei Lan inside the party hall...
After greeting so many important guests, Tang Li Xue and Instructor Mei Lan felt their faces were almost numb by smiling too much.
Zi Yan tried to strike up a conversation with Teacher Li Wei so many times, but Teacher Li Wei ignored her and talked to Tang Li Xue instead.
Not only Zi Yan... There were actually many other young fox girls who tried to approach and talk to Teacher Li Wei, but Teacher Li Wei pretended to not see their intention and put all of her attention to Tang Li Xue instead.
He really used Tang Li Xue as his shield to the fullest.
After fifteen minutes or so, all of the guests sat in their own seats, and several honored guests began to give a long speech, including Teacher Li Wei and Councillor Junjie.
After half an hour or so, their long speech finally ended.
Tang Li Xue thought this congratulatory ceremony would end soon after they ate dinner that was served on their table.
Tang Li Xue, who always has an extremely strong appetite, did not even have any appetite tonight with so many annoying table manners, so she did not even taste any dishes on the table.
The handsome male fox host cheerfully spoke from the top of the grand stage: "While all of our honorable guests enjoy the delicious meal, we will begin the contest to entertain everyone~!"
Tang Li Xue pulled Teacher Li Wei's sleeve and asked curiously: "What kind of contest is he talking about?"
Teacher Li Wei chuckled playfully while saying: "This is also the reason why I ask you to come with me to this party. No, this might be also the reason why Councillor Junjie took Sister Mei Lan to this party."
Tang Li Xue tilted her head cutely in confusion.
Teacher Li Wei did not bother to explain as he patted Tang Li Xue's head and muttered: "Anyway, this might be your chance. If you can win the contest, you can get many credits and prizes."
"Credits and prizes?! Don't worry~! Winning contest is my specialty!" Tang Li Xue exclaimed as her topaz blue eyes were glittering like a pair of stars in excitement.
