Even Li Jieyue was in a hurry at this moment. When she arrived at Qin Zhenming's room, Qin Limin was also inside.
"What's going on? Why didn't I know that someone would suddenly appear and meet with Yueyue alone?" Li Jieyue frowned, her usual elegance and composure gone. The situation before her was beyond her expectations.
"It's an order from His Majesty the Emperor and His Highness the Young Lord." Qin Limin was also in a panic. The news from the two had come too suddenly; he hadn't even received their orders until Bai Yueyue arrived.
It was obvious that the other party knew that Qin Limin could not refuse the joint order from the Emperor and the Young Lord, which is why they sent it so hastily, without even having time to inform Bai Yueyue and Li Jieyue.
"Why are they in such a hurry to act?" Li Jieyue understood the trouble involved. According to the information Hu Meier relayed, everything from the jade pendant to the meeting was arranged.
The two children from the orphanage were also lured into stealing the jade pendant, and the loss of the jade pendant was part of their plan.
There is more information that Li Jieyue and the others cannot know for the time being; they must wait for Bai Yueyue to return and inform them.
"Which prince of the Imperial Clan is it? The Second Prince?" Li Jieyue had been living in Asia City since marrying Bai Zhenhao, and her knowledge of the Imperial Clan was based solely on information from various sources. She herself had never gone to the capital to verify the information.
"It seems very likely to be the young emperor himself." This is the most troublesome thing for Qin Limin. If it's just an imperial prince, it's fine. Even if Bai Yueyue is not good at dealing with people, she won't reveal too much information.
But the other party is the young lord, the next emperor, whose skills, knowledge, and even the aristocratic cunning are the pinnacle of the younger generation in the capital.
Based on what we know about Bai Yueyue so far, her consciousness has been spoiled by Li Jieyue and the others to the point that she is no different from an ordinary person. Only now is she slowly beginning to regain the knowledge and awareness that she should have had.
Moreover, the age difference is undeniable; the other party was personally trained by the Emperor from a young age and is already twenty. Bai Yueyue's current knowledge and awareness remain fixed at the high school level, and even her attitude towards things can be described as that of an ordinary, well-behaved commoner student, nurtured by the school and Li Jieyue since childhood.
Otherwise, given the Bai family's financial situation, Bai Yueyue should have become arrogant and extravagant from a young age, instead of spending a month's worth of food in just one meal.
These people were aware of Bai Yueyue's behavior and attitude during this period, so they understood her personality.
Bai Yueyue could treat Qin Zijing and Qin Ye, who were both strong-willed, with the same firmness. However, she was fundamentally soft-hearted, even naive; otherwise, the outcomes regarding the village, the orphanage, and Cui Ye would not have been the same. Furthermore, Bai Yueyue was currently overly reliant on Li Jieyue, lacking the awareness and ability to make decisions and handle important matters herself.
No one blamed Bai Yueyue; she was only a high school graduate, far too young, and her performance was already outstanding. Even considering only the skills of a noble, Zhao Shuli acknowledged that Bai Yueyue far surpassed all her peers, including the three-year-older young lord, Di Hao. A typical noble child at this age would only be slightly better than Qin Ye.
Her understanding of nobility was less than half a year old. The knowledge she learned from childhood, including her values, was formed in the textbooks set by the Huang family, one of the five great families, and the imperial family, and was completely unsuitable for the current situation.
Correcting this problem inherited from childhood is a joint effort of Li Jieyue and her team. However, correcting a set of values formed over nearly eighteen years is particularly difficult and challenging.
"Honestly, you guys should have expected this from a young age," Qin Limin said, rubbing his temples.
"What are you talking about? Who could have predicted that Yueyue would turn into a girl and possess extraordinary power? Zhenhao and I never intended to leave Asia City. Yueyue has two older brothers, Shen Xing and Bai Ruo, who can take care of her. Even if we face nobles, we will handle it together with you. Isn't it normal for her to live an easy life and just be an ordinary rich kid?"
Honestly, how come I didn't know Li Jieyue had such an obvious flaw before?
Looking at the furious and out-of-control Li Jieyue, Qin Limin felt that she was now just as troublesome as Bai Yueyue. Having risen from humble beginnings alongside Bai Zhenhao over the years, Li Jieyue had developed a commoner's mindset. Now, with Bai Yueyue's affairs involved and beyond her control, she appeared so flustered.
"Jieyue, calm down." Qin Zhenming, who had been lying in the chair listening to their conversation, scolded, "I know you're worried about Yueyue, but what kind of state are you in right now? Calm down, with your abilities, you can definitely protect Yueyue right now."
"I'm sorry, Uncle Qin, I lost my composure." Li Jieyue took a deep breath to calm herself down. She had already decided to give Bai Zhenhao a piece of her mind after this was over. How could he not have noticed that the Imperial Clan had entered Asia City?
All they could do now was wait for Bai Yueyue to return. They had also sent people to spy on her, but the Imperial Clan's servants had surrounded the entire hotel and cleared it out, so they couldn't get in at all.
Unlike Li Jieyue's hurried and flustered state, Yi Zheng in the capital was having a meeting with a man at the pinnacle of the world.
"So, are you sure that guy surnamed Lin won't interfere?" The man looked at the little gadget in his hand with interest.
“That’s natural. The Lin family used to pay attention to this planet because of Xiao Ya’s existence. Now that Xiao Ya is gone, she has to deal with matters in other universes. How could she possibly keep her attention on a planet in one universe? As long as the commotion isn’t too big and doesn’t directly violate the rules she set, she won’t interfere too much with the planet’s evolution. That’s an agreement between her and the planet’s will,” Yi explained with a smile.
