Wang Mi, Katiefen, and Rubil all looked at Ling Luo.

Katiefen reacted quickly, smiling as she asked, "Is the Crown Princess... answering my question from earlier?"

Ling Luo nodded: "Yes."

At this moment, Ren Yongfeng smiled, glanced at Ling Luo, and said to Katiefen and the others, "Yes, that's right. I really don't understand the principle behind the Five Elements Beads' test of physique, but I've heard that our Crown Princess has been researching this and has a good understanding of the Five Elements. Why don't you all listen to what our Crown Princess has to say?"

When Ling Luo first spoke, all three of Katiefen's attention was on Ren Yongfeng.

They could clearly see that when Ling Luo finished speaking, Ren Yongfeng looked surprised and somewhat puzzled.

They seemed surprised that Ling Luo would speak at this moment, and they didn't know what Ling Luo was talking about.

If what Ling Luo said was indeed the confidential information about the Five Elements Beads' test of physique, even if Ren Yongfeng was calm and good at hiding his true feelings, his expression would change slightly.

In a moment of urgency, it's impossible to show the same expression as them.

In other words, what Ling Luo said most likely doesn't involve the true secrets of the Five Elements Beads at all.

However, given the gravity of the matter, they couldn't be 100% certain.

Although the core technology of the Five Elements Beads and training methods is a major secret to the Lingliu Empire.

Such a crucial secret is something that even Ye Xingxue, the crown prince of the Lingliu Empire, might not know, aside from the core research and development personnel.

Even if Ye Xingxue knew, no matter how good his relationship with Ling Luo was, he might not tell this important secret to someone who had no power and only the title of Crown Princess.

Even if we assume that Ye Xingxue did tell Ling Luo, she would definitely explain the importance of the secret to her afterwards and instruct her never to tell anyone.

If what Ling Luo just said was indeed the secret of the Five Elements Pearl, Ren Yongfeng and Ye Feng would probably be furious.

Once the news gets out, not only will her position as Crown Princess be in jeopardy, but she will also become a sinner hated by everyone in the empire.

Therefore, from this perspective, they immediately thought that Ling Luo was talking nonsense.

Her purpose in speaking was simply to divert their attention and stop them from pressuring Ren Yongfeng.

But what if Ling Luo is telling the truth?

Ye Feng and Yu Danqing seem to be taking good care of Ling Luo, but it's very likely that they're just putting on an act for them.

In reality, everyone at the luncheon treated her like she didn't exist; nobody respected her.

Ling Luo's sudden appearance on the street shows that she is quite vain, a bit scheming, but also short-sighted.

In this situation, given her youth and immaturity, it's possible that she might act impulsively to seek attention, or perhaps she harbors resentment towards Ye Feng and other powerful figures in the Lingliu Empire for ignoring her, and forgets the consequences to seek revenge.

But Ling Luo's actions came at a great cost.

Although they had this guess in their hearts, they actually felt that the possibility was unlikely.

Now that they heard Ren Yongfeng say this, they felt that the possibility was even lower.

Some even thought that Ling Luo was deliberately bringing up the Five Elements Beads to attract their attention and help Ren Yongfeng out of a predicament.

Therefore, Katiefen smiled and said, "I wouldn't dare trouble the Crown Princess. Besides, I have a few more questions I'd like to ask Academician Ren."

Ling Luo, unaware of their thoughts, said earnestly, "No need to be polite. Is the question you want to know related to the Five Elements Bead? If it is, I can answer it."

A while ago, Ye Feng told her that he would be having guests at his house and asked if she wanted to come back and help him greet them.

He said she wasn't a particularly important guest, so she didn't come back.

Now that she's back by accident, she naturally has to do her part and help take good care of the guests.

Now that she sees that the customer has a question, she should naturally help answer it.

Katiefen hadn't expected Ling Luo to be so difficult. Her smile faltered, and before she could speak, Wang Mi interjected, saying with a smile, "Academician Katiefen, since the Crown Princess is so hospitable, you don't need to stand on ceremony."

Rubil laughed heartily: "That's right, the Crown Princess said there's no need to be polite, so why are you still being polite?"

Then, she said to Ren Yongfeng, "Academician Ren, let's walk a little further away to talk, so as not to disturb Academician Katiefen and the Crown Princess from asking each other questions."

Wang Mi also smiled and said, "Academician Ren, this way please."

When the three of them were trying to get information out of Ren Yongfeng, they all had the same goal, so they cooperated with each other.

Seeing that Ling Luo's side was unlikely to escape and that it would be a waste of time, he immediately and without hesitation turned against her.

After all, Ling Luo's ability to stall Katiefen did not prevent them from obtaining secrets from Ren Yongfeng.

Katie snorted and gave them a cold glance.

Ren Yongfeng shook his head with great interest: "Aren't the two academicians also very curious about the mysteries of these Five Elements Beads? I happen to be quite interested as well, so why don't we stay and listen together?"

Wang Mi, Rubier: "..."

Well, they've shot themselves in the foot.

In fact, they really wanted to lie and say that they were now more interested in the content of the training methods.

But they also knew that if they said that, Ling Luo would probably dare to say that she also had some understanding of these training methods.

Yu Danqing, who was standing to the side, almost broke out in a cold sweat: "..."

She rubbed her forehead, let out a long sigh, and after calming herself down, joined Ren Yongfeng and the others, interjecting, "Our King said that the palace chefs have just served some new dishes made according to the tastes of several academicians. Why don't you all go and have a taste?"

Wang Mi, Katiefen, Rubil: "..."

First there was Ling Luo, then Yu Danqing. All three of them understood that they wouldn't have much of a chance to get more information out of Ren Yongfeng at this luncheon.

At this point, they all began to think that Yu Danqing's bringing Ling Luo here earlier was a pretense to get to know them, but rather a scheme to set them up.

Guan Li and the other researchers from the Lingliu Empire Training Method Research Institute initially thought that Ling Luo had accidentally revealed the secrets related to the Five Elements Beads.

He turned pale with fright and glared angrily at Ling Luo.

They only breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Ren Yongfeng's reaction.

They said, how could Ling Luo possibly know such an important secret?

Not far away, Ye Feng chatted with Lin Lun and the others about politics. He lowered his head, took a sip of wine, and smiled imperceptibly.
