What's There to Be Polite About?

"Yue Sha, do you know her?"

The Lord of Pure Moon Island saw sparks practically flying between his disciple and Princess Hongyi as they locked eyes.

"I know her. She almost killed me in a secret realm."

Jingyue Sha gritted her teeth and said resentfully.

Princess Hongyi snorted coldly, "The secret realm is all about competition based on strength, life and death are irrelevant. I merely lured a little danger to your side. We are complete strangers, did you expect me to sacrifice myself to protect you? Why don't you mention that you stole what rightfully belonged to me before?"

"Have you no shame? That thing was originally ownerless, so why do you claim it as yours?"

Jingyue Sha and Princess Hongyi were at odds. It's already difficult for beautiful women to get along peacefully, let alone two people who had a grudge against each other.

Seeing this, Manager Shopkeeper Su Mingxin Xuan Princess Hongyi was having a dispute with someone, she would naturally side with Princess Hongyi.

You must understand, Princess Hongyi is the apple of Prince Yi's eye, and Prince Yi is a heavyweight figure in the Cloud-Leaving Empire. Yunze City is Prince Yi's fiefdom. Mingxin Xuan is located on Prince Yi's territory, so how could they not be polite to Princess Hongyi?

"What's going on with these people?"

The third manager asked the beautiful waitress.

"Uh..." The beautiful waitress was a little nervous, feeling that she had made a mistake and displeased Princess Hongyi. She hurriedly explained, "Third Manager, these people came to Mingxin Xuan Pavilion to book private rooms, but there were no seats available. Booking upstairs was not up to the VIP level, so I turned them down. But this young lady asked me to make an exception, so it has been delayed until now."

Upon hearing this from the beautiful waitress, Jingyue Sha blushed crimson.

She had originally intended to communicate telepathically with the beautiful waitress, but the waitress spoke the words aloud, causing her to lose face completely.

It's one thing if it's just the people from the Tianshu Gate on Pure Moon Island, but the real problem is that there's also Princess Hongyi.

As expected Princess Hongyi giggled, "Hehehe! So that's what happened. You should have said so earlier. You weren't good enough to book a room, were you? Although I've booked all the rooms, I don't mind if you come for a meal. Aunt Su, you can add a few small tables in the corner of the room and put some food on them."

Given this opportunity, how could Princess Hongyi not speak up and criticize?

After Princess Hongyi finished speaking, as if to match Princess Hongyi words, the kitchen staff actually started serving the dishes. In fact, it was already close to the banquet time set by Princess Hongyi. Mingxin Xuan usually arranges the dishes before inviting the guests to take their seats.

Jingyue Sha was so angry she ground her teeth; she hated Princess Hongyi to death.

The elders behind her all held high positions in Jinghai, and they had never experienced anything like this before. It was all because of her, and yet, she was powerless to do anything about it.

"I'm truly sorry, esteemed guest, but Mingxin Xuan has its own regulations regarding private room reservations. If your VIP status isn't high enough, I'm afraid I can't help you. Princess Hongyi's birthday banquet is about to begin. If it's convenient for you, please leave. I'm really sorry..."

The young woman spoke politely, but she had already given him the order to leave. He had come to this restaurant, only to be turned away; one can imagine how frustrated he must have felt.

Even Yi Yun felt that Jingyue Sha was having a really tough time today, and he couldn't bear to watch anymore. He didn't have any ill feelings towards Jingyue Sha, he just thought she was a competitive little girl.

Moreover, they were driven away, and Yi Yun was one of them. Although Yi Yun was not naturally aggressive, he wouldn't let someone bully him to his face without fighting back.

He was pondering how to deal with Princess Hongyi when suddenly he noticed the dishes being served from the kitchen of Mingxin Xuan Pavilion. These dishes...

Yi Yun was startled, his eyes immediately fixed on the dishes, unable to look away. He made a surprising discovery among the dishes at Mingxin Xuan...

At this moment, apart from Jingyue Sha, the other young geniuses from Pure Moon Island and Tianshu Gate were already filled with righteous indignation. Those who could come to the Tiannan Great World were all disciples with outstanding talents. When had they ever suffered such humiliation?

"Your name is Hongyi, right? Are you participating in the martial arts tournament?"

Xia Zijian spoke, his voice icy and aggressive.

"What? You want to challenge me? I'm afraid you won't even last a fight before you're eliminated!"

Princess Hongyi glanced at Xia Zijian and said disdainfully, she didn't even look at the genius from Jinghai.

Xia Zijian gripped the sword hilt, his knuckles clenched tightly. When had he Xia Zijian, ever been looked down upon like this? "I'm afraid you won't live to see me fight. How about this, let's fight now and settle this once and for all!"

Xia Zijian couldn't bear it anymore.

"Hehe, if it weren't for this princess's birthday banquet today, I would have given you a good beating. But now the dishes have been served, especially the Cloud Hidden Phoenix Seeks Phoenix. You should taste it while you can. How can we let some bumpkins spoil the mood and waste such a delicacy?"

"I originally meant well by having you sit in the corner, hoping to broaden your horizons and let you see the world. Even if you couldn't taste the food, just smelling it would be good. The dishes at Mingxin Xuan have miraculous effects on nourishing and preserving youth, and they can also nourish the Divine Soul. I'm afraid you've never even heard of such medicinal cuisine."

Princess Hongyi glanced smugly at Jingyue Sha, who wanted to eat but couldn't. She said these words to mock Jingyue Sha.

As for someone like Xia Zijian, she didn't take him seriously at all, so why would she condescend to fight him here?

"Hongyi! It's just a table of dishes, do you think I care about that!"

Jingyue Sha was so angry that she kept clenching and squeezing her little hands, as if she was fantasizing about grabbing Princess Hongyi in her hands and kneading her hard.

Even if Mingxin Xuan's dishes are renowned, they are still just dishes. Under normal circumstances, she wouldn't care whether she could eat them or not. However, Princess Hongyi kept using this to humiliate her, which infuriated the competitive Jingyue Sha.

"Don't care? Then why don't you get out of my sight right now? Today is my birthday banquet, I've already booked the whole place. It's kind of me to let you stay, and it's only natural to ask you to leave. Now, please leave immediately!" Princess Hongyi's narrow, beautiful eyes curved slightly as she added with a cold smile.

"By the way, Aunt Su, you shouldn't be giving out VIP cards to just anyone, right?"

Shopkeeper Su gave an awkward smile; she knew that Princess Hongyi was asking her to make a statement.

She was unwilling to offend either side, but Jingyue Sha and her group were from Jinghai after all, and most of them would leave after the Tiannan Peak Summit. So, offending them was fine, especially since Jingyue Sha's words just now were also belittling Mingxin Xuan, which made her very uncomfortable.

She shook her head slightly, walked up to Jingyue Sha, and said, "Esteemed guest, this medicinal cuisine from Mingxin Xuan has been served in the Tiannan Great World for tens of thousands of years, entertaining countless famous figures. But today, our skills are not worthy of this young lady's attention. Since you are so uninterested in our dishes, please return your VIP card."

Jingyue Sha was filled with shame and indignation. She pulled out her VIP card and threw it on the ground, saying, "I don't want it anyway!"

She was also furious, but this was, after all, the Tiannan Great World, and she couldn't very well take action. She could only swallow her anger.

Seeing Jingyue Sha throw away the VIP card, Shopkeeper Su frowned. She held some status in Yunze City, and both the legitimate and underworld figures gave her face. If Jingyue Sha had simply returned the card properly, it would have been fine, but throwing it on the ground angered her. "Miss," she Mingxin Xuan is like the brand of Mingxin Xuan. Those who hold this card are people of status. If they knew that you were discarding their VIP card like trash, how would they feel? If you don't want the card, you can return it properly. Throwing it on the ground is like damaging the brand of Mingxin Xuan. Please pick it up."

As she spoke, Shopkeeper Su reached out her hand, indicating that Jingyue Sha should pick it up and return it to her. If Jingyue Sha gave in, the matter would be over; otherwise, Mingxin Xuan was not someone to be trifled with.

Jingyue Sha was furious and about to explode. This Shopkeeper Su was simply going too far, kicking people out, taking back VIP cards, and demanding that she be polite and submissive?

Jingyue Sha was not one to be trifled with either; she simply raised her foot and stomped on the VIP card.

"Old woman, do you think we outsiders are easy to bully? You were the one who asked for the VIP card back first, and you think I'd pick it up? Dream on!"

As soon as Jingyue Sha uttered those words, Jingyue Yin and Jingyue Ping Jingyue Sha already standing behind her. Their auras were as deep as the sea, and their imposing presence was overwhelming!

Jinghai may be small, but Pure Moon Island is not to be trifled with. Mingxin Xuan has a powerful background in Yunze City, but Pure Moon Island is not afraid of it.

The atmosphere suddenly became heavy, but just then, another group of people appeared at the door.

These people were dressed in luxurious clothes, both men and women. The leader was a middle-aged man wearing a python robe. He had a calm demeanor and walked with the stride of a dragon and the gait of a tiger. Every step he took seemed to be on the beat of everyone's heartbeat. He was an extraordinary master.

Upon seeing this, the middle-aged man in the python robe raised a thick eyebrow and asked, "Hongyi, what's going on?"

Upon seeing the middle-aged man in the python robe, Princess Hongyi was overjoyed. Her elders were also attending her birthday banquet, and this middle-aged man in the python robe was her sixth cousin, an important minister of the Cloud-Leaving Empire, holding a high position.

"Third Uncle, you've come at the right time. There are people causing trouble at Mingxin Xuan."

Princess Hongyi struck first, pointing directly at Jingyue Sha, "It was this little girl who threw the VIP card for Mingxin Xuan on the ground and even stomped on it. Moreover, she couldn't get a table at my birthday banquet, so she just caused trouble here and refused to leave."

Princess Hongyi's mouth was also vicious; Jingyue Sha wished she could rush up and tear Hongyi's mouth off.

"Shopkeeper Su, is someone really causing trouble?" the middle-aged man in the python robe asked the beautiful young woman.

The young woman smiled charmingly and curtsied, "Lord Yun, it's nothing serious. It was just a few words exchanged between young people in their youthful arrogance. I just want this young girl to pick up the VIP card and apologize, and that will be enough."

The young woman spoke, glancing at Jingyue Sha.

At this point, the situation had escalated. Jingyue Sha felt wronged, and her beautiful eyes reddened. Although Pure Moon Island was not afraid of Mingxin Xuan, and the elders of the sect also supported her.

However, Pure Moon Island was there to attend the Tiannan Peak Summit Tiannan Great World. As the saying goes, even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake. As soon as Pure Moon Island arrived in Yunze City, it offended all the local forces because of its own actions.

Jingyue Sha was now in a difficult situation; she was starting to regret her actions, wondering if she had acted impulsively by taking that step...

She didn't want to trouble her elders; she just needed to bear it. She stared at the VIP card at her feet, biting her lip until it turned white...

She almost reached out to pick up the VIP card, but just then, a foot suddenly stepped on it!

Jingyue Sha was stunned. This step was very solid. Jingyue Sha had stepped on it before, but she was not confident enough and only stepped on half of it. But this step left a large footprint on the VIP card.

She looked up and saw that the person who had stuck out that foot was... Yi Yun?

Yi Yun smiled and said, "Junior Nephew Yue Sha, if you're going to step on something, do it properly. Why are you being so polite?"
