Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The headstrong Tian Ningning was still just a 20-year-old girl. Although she had forced all her emotions down with her head held high, she had actually been shaken to the core.

The disciples of veteran and rising factions were all stunned by Lin Yuan’s act of killing Cai Qing’s fey.

They all readied themselves to see how Manager Cai would handle the situation.

However, Zheng Kaiyuan immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

Miao Zhuo had been chased out of the Midnight Palace by Zuo Ming and had his soul injured just for insulting Lin Yuan.

Since both Miao Zhuo and Miao Qi had been chased out of the Guard Ye Banquet, no one from the Miao family had seen Lin Yuan wearing the Moonbeam Coronation Costume.

Nonetheless, they had heard from Zheng Kaiyuan and other top factions that the Lin Yuan that made a splash at the Allstar Match was the Moon Empress’ disciple.

Miao He wanted to thank Lin Yuan from the bottom of his heart because he would never have been able to rise through the ranks if not for Lin Yuan.

Yet, he had ended up insulting the Moon Empress’ disciple.

Although he had not personally participated, Cai Qing and the rest had only attacked Tian Ningning for his sake.

Hence, Miao He could not run from shouldering the responsibility of this incident.CHeCk for new stories on no/v/el/bin(.)c0m

Suddenly, Miao He thought of Zheng Kaiyuan.

Zheng Kaiyuan had spent the last few days bragging that he was the Moon Empress’ disciple’s friend. Due to this, he had gained their grandfather’s favor.

Zheng Kaiyuan also claimed to have the contact details of the Moon Empress’ disciple.

Miao He nudged Zheng Kaiyuan with his shoulder and shot him a pointed look.

“Don’t you know the Moon Empress’ disciple? Why aren’t you saying anything?”

Zheng Kaiyuan flushed with guilt.

They started to guess Lin Yuan’s identity.

They had not had the authority to attend the Guard Ye Banquet and did not know about Lin Yuan’s identity.

Da Wu started to curse Cai Qing internally.

He remembered Cai Qing swearing that the person in the Depending on Plums Room was just a Class 2 Star Web reporter who was definitely not connected to anyone powerful.

Yet, the Star Web reporter’s friend turned out to be someone that could personally visit Kitchen Fragrance Palace and meet with Lord Chef Supreme.

This was an insane connection! He could even consider himself a close acquaintance of Chef Supreme.

Lin Yuan asked Tian Ningning, “What happened? How did you become so injured?”

Tian Ningning had not wanted to disturb Lin Yuan, but the latter was now involved.

Thus, Tian Ningning recounted the entire incident.

“They told us to get out of the Depending on Plums Room so that they can connect the Depending on Plums Room and Floating Bamboo Room. Apparently, it’s for the sake of some important guest. All of my wounds were inflicted by the Blunt Wind Untamed Wolf, and I was also burned by a plate of Egg Rampaging Cow beef that she poured on me.”

Lin Yuan’s expression turned colder, and his warm smile turned malevolent.

Miao He and Zheng Kaiyuan now looked worse for wear.

Miao He knew that he was the important person that Cai Qing and the rest had been waiting for.

Despite having taken the initiative to speak to Lin Yuan, Zheng Kaiyuan had been completely brushed off. Moreover, Lin Yuan was now looking at Zheng Kaiyuan like he was looking at a stranger.

Zheng Kaiyuan could not figure out the connection between Tian Ningning and Lin Yuan.

If they were just normal friends, everyone present might be able to escape with their lives.

But if Tian Ningning was Lin Yuan’s girlfriend, everyone would be drawing their last breaths soon.

It was also likely that their families would also be affected.

Zheng Kaiyuan glared daggers at the deathly pale Cai Qing.

If not for Cai Qing’s maliciousness, Zheng Kaiyuan might have been able to become closer to Lin Yuan.
