“Gone? How can they be gone?” Du Lishe asked curiously .
Qing Li explained it, and then let her take a look at the broken wood chips .
After Du Lishe heard what she was told, she had a look of disbelief . “Really? How long has Han Sen been practicing Teeth Knife? You say he has a Teeth Knife knifemind and can use it to such a high level? I can’t help but find that hard to believe . ”
“I wouldn’t have believed it, either, if I hadn’t seen it with my own two eyes . But I really did watch him write it down upon the boards . And then, I saw the wooden board get broken apart by the words he had scrawled . You have to believe me . Han Sen really is so strong! It’s no wonder the queen picked him as a student . I am far inferior,” Qing Li said .
“Don’t think too much about it all just yet . The event is going to start soon, so let’s head over to the meeting . ” Du Lishe hadn’t seen the text herself, so she didn’t think it was that incredible . She put it out of her mind and dragged Qing Li with her to the event .
The exchange event was hosted by one of the two races, and they alternated each time . This time it was the Rebate’s turn to host . The Buddha Clear Sea King brought around twenty of his Buddhas here . Before the event started, they met with the Nobles of the Rebate . That way, the two groups would be familiar with each other during the event .
Amongst all those Buddhas, there was one called Sun . He had the highest rank out of them all . He was a Marquise class fellow .
If this was down to raw talent, Speechless and No Flower were the absolute strongest . Buddhas had a special ability; when Buddhas became old, they could transfer their knowledge and experience to the younger ones .

They called that ability, Open the Mind . The Buddhas that used it would die a short time after, and the Buddhas that were on the receiving end would only be able to absorb as much knowledge as their prowess allowed them to .
No Flower and Speechless had their minds opened . They had been very talented when they received their knowledge, so they were able to absorb a lot . They learned far more than the average Buddha did .
Speechless was the best, though . The elder that opened their mind for her was a half-deified Buddha . Speechless was extremely talented, and people expected her to be the first fully-fledged deified Buddha in the last thirty thousand years .
But Open the Mind was classified, and most people did not know anything about this process . Even those who knew about the ability couldn’t tell who had received a predecessor’s knowledge .
Qing Li and Du Lishe went to the meeting and met up with friends there .
Someone introduced a Buddha to Qing Li . The Buddhas and the Rebate were allies, so there was a good atmosphere and relationship between them . But there was a competitive side to their cordialities, and they were fond of finding out who was stronger in various categories .
This was an exchange event, but right now, it was more like a competitive display of skills than a swap-meet .
Han Sen was not at all interested in events such as this, but Yisha had repeatedly asked Han Sen to attend . So, he had no real choice but to come .

Wang Yuhang and Xie Qing King were fond party-goers, and Gu Qingcheng was interested in learning about the Buddhas . So, they all decided to follow Han Sen .
The four of them found a corner to sit down in, and there, they could watch the show and enjoy the food of the Rebate . Because Han Sen was not a member of the Moon Garden, he could only sit outside to spectate . He could not enter or interact with the Buddhas .
While this meant nothing to Han Sen, Speechless kept looking for him . When the meeting began, she had yet to see Han Sen around . She felt confused about his absence .
Speechless thought Han Sen was the student of Knife Queen, and because of that, he would have been allowed to participate in the event . But Speechless looked around for him for a long time, with no hide nor hair of him to be found . She didn’t ask about him, though . She’d feel weird to ask .
“Isn’t Han Sen Queen’s student? Why are you watching the event from the outside, like us?” As Han Sen and his companions were munching away, he heard someone speak with a rather mocking tone of voice .
Han Sen looked over and saw a few xenogeneics . They were not old, and neither were they Rebate . The person who spoke was someone with the head of a cow .
While they were some sort of bovine race, but they looked different from the Kao . Han Sen did not know which race they belonged to, but he had seen this cow-headed person before .
In the Moon God Festival, the cow-headed man was with Gold Jade King’s son Gao Ji . He was one of the very few Earls there .

Han Sen looked at them but did not say a word . They were outsiders, and they were simply leaning on the Rebate .
“I thought Queen would give her student special treatment . But he’s just like us, an outsider, not allowed to be a member of the Moon Garden . He can’t participate in the event, and he can only sit out here and watch . ”
“So what? Even if he could join, what could he hope to exchange?”
“Maybe he can exchange a little luck, you know?”
The young man with the head of the cow and his fellows were talking so loud, it was obvious they wanted Han Sen to hear them .
Han Sen frowned, though . He wasn’t sure what they meant . They were outsiders there, as well . They should have felt the same way about things as Han Sen himself did . He did not know why they’d bother picking on him, wanting to start trouble .
So, Han Sen ignored them and pretended he did not hear them . He continued talking with Gu Qingcheng and the others .
The cow-headed man thought it was pointless to continue talking, after noticing that Han Sen wasn’t paying them any mind .
After a while, Clear Sea King and Moon Wheel King arrived . They announced the start of the event .
“The guests have come from far and wide, so let them take the stage first . ” Moon Wheel King smiled .
“Amitabha! Let us hope we don’t embarrass ourselves . ” Clear Sea King looked at No Flower, and then he went on to say, “No Flower, you go first . Share your experience with your friends . ”
“Yes, my king . ” No Flower stood up and bowed before Clear Sea King and Moon Wheel King . He walked on stage and spoke to the worker, saying, “Please help me prepare a testing gold rock . ”
A testing gold rock was a rock for testing one’s power . While the rock could be dented, it was very durable, almost unbreakable . It was usually used for the testing of geno arts .
They have No Flower coming on stage . It looks like they are ready to show off,” Du Lishe said with a smile .
