Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 1181 - 1182: Unexpected Guest

"Thanks a lot just now~"

At the dinner table, looking at the exquisite food, Feng Yuan expressed his gratitude to Qi Chen and the others. Agunas glanced at Feng Yuan and couldn’t be bothered to say anything. This guy really thought he wouldn’t be affected by those few drinks to the point of not being able to eat. Not to mention, he could have easily dumped those drinks without anyone noticing.

"Is the afternoon for individual activities?"

Looking at Pei Yu in front of him, Qi Chen asked with some confusion. Pei Yu nodded and said,

"That’s right. Since everyone has different interests and hobbies, she doesn’t plan to organize any more group activities before the evening banquet. If you have other things to do, you can leave first and just make sure to come back by evening."

Even at this time, many people from the class hadn’t made it here, mostly planning to come in the evening. Of course, this was also mentioned in the invitation. However, Feng Yuan and the others had a decent relationship with Zhong Liuyan, so naturally, they wouldn’t arrive so late.

Feng Yuan said after looking at the Golden Manor Hotel’s introduction,

"We don’t really have anything we need to do, but scouting out the enemy isn’t a bad idea, like the hotel’s signature Golden Manor."

"What are you planning to do now?"

Agunas looked at Feng Yuan speechlessly. This guy couldn’t be thinking about making a move on the Golden Manor Hotel, right? Qi Chen glanced at Feng Yuan and warned,

"Don’t cause trouble; your granny might not be happy, and she might even get angry."

This guy harbored hostility towards Stream Valley Resort, Qi Chen knew, but he hadn’t seen him take issue with the Golden Manor Hotel before, so why was he suddenly thinking of targeting it?

Feng Yuan rolled his eyes and said helplessly,

"I wasn’t planning to cause trouble. I’m just looking at what’s special here. There’s no conflict between the Golden Manor Hotel and Cotton Orchid Manor. There’s no reason for me to mess with it, and even if I were to take action, there’s no need to understand it."

"Considering your strong objections to Stream Valley Resort before..."

Qi Chen sighed as he looked at Feng Yuan. If it weren’t for his objections to the Stream Valley Resort before, they wouldn’t be so worried now, right?

"Why would I not object when they are direct competitors with Cotton Orchid Manor? If we hadn’t always overlooked them, I estimate... hehe~"

"Can you not do things that would give us a headache?"

Liao Yu, who had walked over at some point, said helplessly to Feng Yuan. He truly hadn’t expected Feng Yuan to still be fixated on that, and it was good that today they had also invited her along.

"You know, granny won’t be happy with you behaving like this. You also know she doesn’t like us to bully the weak, moreover, Cotton Orchid Manor and Stream Valley Resort sometimes cooperate."

Yun You said with a headache, and Feng Yuan, momentarily stunned, looked at Yun You in surprise and asked,

"Sister Yun You, how come you’re here too? Did you snitch on me?"

As Feng Yuan stared at her, Liao Yu felt a chill down her spine. She was very aware of Feng Yuan’s strength. If he were to fixate on her, she feared... Just then, Yun You stood between Feng Yuan and Liao Yu, her face showing displeasure as she said to Feng Yuan,

"We certainly don’t hope you’ll do something bad just because of personal likes and dislikes. Besides, shouldn’t this kind of matter involving the manor be discussed with us first?..."

Seeing Feng Yuan being scolded by Yun You and not daring to say anything, just lowering his head, Qi Chen was a bit surprised. He hadn’t expected Feng Yuan to not throw a temper tantrum. Dou Yanlan, on the other hand, wasn’t surprised by this. After all, she knew Feng Yuan had a very good relationship with Yun You and the others. Although it seemed that Qi Chen might be closer to Feng Yuan.

But Qi Chen wouldn’t manage Feng Yuan like Yun You did. Perhaps in Feng Yuan’s eyes, Yun You was like a big sister who could stop him from making mistakes?

After a while, seeing Feng Yuan with his head down and silent, Yun You sighed, walked up to him, gently patted his shoulder, and whispered something. Xiao Ji, eating his own food, didn’t dare to look directly at Yun You, only sneaking glances occasionally. Veronia looked at Feng Yuan and didn’t bother to say anything. Maybe she knew very well that Feng Yuan didn’t dislike Yun You’s actions.

"Unrestrained power only brings disaster upon oneself."

Looking at the card in her hand, Gladys thoughtfully glanced in Feng Yuan’s direction and spoke, while Lorna, following by her side, eyed Yun You with envy. However, after a moment, she sighed with a hint of disappointment and followed behind Gladys, seemingly lost in thought.

"Aren’t you going to go over and greet him?"

Noticing that Lorna hadn’t gone over to Feng Yuan, Gladys asked with some confusion, but shaking her head, Lorna looked in Feng Yuan’s direction and said

"Forget it, maybe he doesn’t want me by his side."

"How could that be? Since you’re too shy, then I’ll go–"

With a slight smile, Gladys put down the wine glass in her hand onto a nearby table and took Lorna straight towards where Feng Yuan was. Seeing Gladys’s actions, Lorna was startled for a moment, stretched out her little hand as if she wanted to stop her, but after a moment, sighed and hurried after her.

"Gladys? What are you doing here too?"

Seeing Gladys twist her waist as she walked over, Feng Yuan expressed his surprise. He had just found out that Yun You was brought by Liao Yu, who invited her because of her familiar relationship with Feng Yuan and her assignment by the Special Duty Team to assist in ensuring the safety of the VIPs attending the graduation and promotion banquet of the Zhang Family’s little princess in Shangjing.

After knowing the reason why the banquet was held at the Golden Manor Hotel, Liao Yu decisively phoned Granny Mianlan to explain Feng Yuan’s hostility towards Stream Valley Resort and asked for her assistance. It can’t be helped; there has always been speculation about why the Zhang Family’s little princess didn’t choose Stream Valley Resort but the Golden Manor Hotel.

After all, compared to the Golden Manor Hotel, which is merely a building, Stream Valley Resort is not just a spacious venue. It is also more convenient for security arrangements as the surrounding forests belong to the resort, which means they can prevent others from approaching Stream Valley Resort.

The Golden Manor Hotel is different. It’s located in the city center, where road closures for no reason are unacceptable. It’s challenging to prevent others from getting close, especially since there are many buildings nearby. For Spirit Beasts, such a distance between two buildings is practically negligible.

But most people did not expect that the actual reason was Feng Yuan’s inexplicable issues with Stream Valley Resort.

Yun You was sent by Granny Mianlan to explain the situation to Feng Yuan, to ask him not to be so hostile to Stream Valley Resort. At the same time, Granny Mianlan hoped that Yun You could take this opportunity to interact more with other people, instead of just staying at Cotton Orchid Manor, dealing only with her and the staff.

Although she would also meet many guests of Cotton Orchid Manor, it was hard for Yun You to make friends with those people.

"Why can’t I be here? Don’t worry, I am an invited guest, not here to stir any trouble."

With a slight smile, Gladys said, and glancing at Gladys, Feng Yuan pursed his lips and said

"I never thought you would come here for any trouble anyway. Were you invited by Zhong Liuyan’s parents?"

To Feng Yuan, a guest unrelated to Zhong Liuyan could only possibly come at the invitation of her parents. As for anyone else? The Zhang Family would never meddle in Zhong Liuyan’s own banquet unless they were crazy. And behind Zhong Liuyan’s mother, there wasn’t even a family to speak of. If it weren’t for her father’s insistence, her name would probably be Zhang Liuyan.

It would be impossible for other guests to bring someone randomly. Yun You was a special case, and besides, she had Granny Mianlan backing her, who gave her no lesser status.

"You guessed it~ The title of a Diviner actually comes in quite handy~"

With one eye closed, Gladys put up a finger to her lips flirtatiously and said. Glancing at Gladys, Feng Yuan said disgruntledly,

"Doing that, wouldn’t Teacher Yan be upset?"

"Oh my, he isn’t here. Moreover, there hasn’t been much progress until now."

Gladys said half-jokingly and half-seriously, but she was not the least disappointed by this. If Teacher Yan had been so easily won over by her, she would’ve doubted whether her choice was correct.

"Yo~ Lorna, long time no see. Here, this is for you, you should like it~"

Noticing Lorna, who was clutching the hem of her dress behind Gladys, Feng Yuan smiled and mixed three kinds of drinks in a glass, shook it, and handed it to Lorna. Agunas, flipping his tail, looked at Feng Yuan speechlessly; if it remembered correctly, that was a drink for human tastes.

Looking at Feng Yuan, Lorna carefully moved forward, embraced the glass, took a tiny sip, and said with her eyes closed in bliss,

"Thank you, it’s very tasty."
