Lin Lan's lips curled slightly upward, and she sneered, saying, "Yan Wenjing, you've probably been ruling the underworld for too long and forgotten that this is the human realm! It's not your territory! This Miss Qin has nothing to do with you, so you're meddling too much!"
Upon hearing this, Yan Wenjing's face instantly darkened, and he subconsciously turned to glance at Qin Yunie beside him.
Just as Lin Lan said, Qin Yunie has nothing to do with him now.
Otherwise, they wouldn't be here today.
Thinking of this, Yan Wenjing's face visibly darkened.
Sang Qi, who was standing to the side, took in Yan Wenjing's changing expression and couldn't help but feel worried that the two would clash again. So he quickly said, "Your Majesty, we are here by invitation."
The original intention was that even if they were to be driven away, shouldn't Qin Yunie's feelings be taken into consideration?
After all, those who dared to directly confront Yan Wenjing were mostly from well-off backgrounds, while ordinary celestial officials like them had only made this journey because of Meng Po.
Although Yan Wenjing may seem to only be in charge of the underworld, he has a very powerful background and is also very capable. Therefore, they really don't want to provoke King Yama and bring unnecessary trouble upon themselves.
After hearing Sang Qi's words, Yan Wenjing remained silent for a moment.
Then, he slowly raised his head, his gaze falling back on Qin Yunie. His eyes were deep and unfathomable, making it difficult to discern the true emotions they contained. However, he was clearly hesitant and apprehensive because of Sang Qi's words, and was no longer as assertive as before.
It is clear that Qin Yunie's opinion is respected.
Lin Lan was right about one thing: their relationship hadn't reached the point where he could overstep her boundaries and make decisions for her. Since they were guests she had invited, he should respect her wishes.
But if they have other ulterior motives, then don't blame him for intervening.
Qin Yunie didn't expect things to turn out this way, but she bears some responsibility for how things ended up.
She had no idea that the King of Hell and Lin Lan had such a bad relationship, and she never expected the King of Hell to come.
After all, they hadn't seen each other for a while since that night, and the King of Hell hadn't visited her house for some time either.
Seeing that everyone's attention was focused on her, Qin Yunie put aside her affair with the King of Hell, but the matter at hand needed to be dealt with first. Therefore, after thinking it over, she said, "Everyone, please take your seats."
After saying that, as if remembering what had just happened in the yard, his expression froze, hoping that it hadn't been destroyed.
Qin Yune said very quickly, "King Yama, please put me down."
Yan Wenjing helped her down to the ground. Qin Yune quickly ran into the yard and saw that the table was intact and glowing with a faint light. Obviously, someone had set up a barrier on the table in advance to prevent their fight from ruining the food that Qin Yune had worked so hard to make.
Seeing this, Qin Yunie breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to find that the others were also coming in one after another.
Qin Yune's signature smile returned. "The dishes haven't been damaged. Please take a seat."
At this moment, Yan Wenjing's gaze inadvertently swept over Meng Po and Judge Cui standing to the side. His eyes were like two cold glints fixed on Meng Po, and he immediately understood who the mastermind behind all these people was.
Yan Wenjing's face was so gloomy it seemed like it could drip water, and an indescribable sense of frustration surged from the depths of his heart. As he passed by Meng Po and Judge Cui with a somber expression, he said in an extremely cold voice, "I'll settle accounts with you later!"
Meng Po remained remarkably calm in the face of Yan Wenjing's words.
After all, when she decided to do this, she had already anticipated that if the truth came out, the King of Hell would not let it go, so it did not stir up too much of a ripple in Meng Po's heart.
However, Judge Cui, standing to the side, was in stark contrast to Meng Po. Upon hearing King Yama's words, he trembled as if struck by lightning. A sense of impending doom quickly overwhelmed him, causing him to feel a sudden panic.
Immediately afterwards, Judge Cui subconsciously looked around, trying to find Xie Bi'an and the others, but after looking around, he couldn't see a single person.
Judge Cui immediately realized that the two of them had run away behind his back!
Judge Cui gritted his teeth in anger, cursing inwardly: "You Xie Bi'an and Fan Wujiu, you call each other brothers all day, but you're so disloyal when it matters! You didn't even take me with you when you ran away, it's outrageous!"
This has led to him being targeted by the King of Hell. Once the King of Hell is done with this, his days will be numbered!
Thinking of this, he immediately cursed Xie Bi'an and Fan Wujiu in his heart.
At the same time, Xie Bi'an and Fan Wujiu, who had already successfully escaped back to the underworld, suddenly sneezed unusually loudly without warning, startling them both.
They immediately realized that Judge Cui had probably discovered they had run away and was cursing them in his heart.
At this moment, Qin Yunie encountered another problem: almost no one wanted to sit with Lin Lan, and Lin Lan obviously didn't want to sit at the same table with the others either.
Finally, Qin Yunie set up a separate table for Lin Lan. Just as everyone was about to take their seats, Yan Wenjing's voice suddenly rang out: "Wait!"
Upon hearing this, everyone's gaze turned to Yan Wenjing, their eyes filled with doubt and confusion. Even Qin Yunie was somewhat surprised.
Yan Wenjing said coldly, without any expression, "Before we eat, we need to repair the damaged ground. I don't have the habit of eating over potholes."
Although he did not directly name Lin Lan and demand that she restore the ground to its original state, the implication in his words was all too clear, and the target was directly Lin Lan.
Upon hearing this, Lin Lan frowned slightly, feeling a surge of anger, and was about to refuse.
However, just as he was about to speak, his gaze inadvertently met Yan Wenjing's. He saw a chilling threat flickering in the depths of Yan Wenjing's eyes, as if if he dared to utter even half a "no," everything that had just happened would probably be repeated.
Lin Lan was startled and began to ponder.
He never expected that during this period of time, not only had he made progress in his cultivation, but Yan Wenjing had also made such a huge breakthrough and improvement!
So, after giving a cold snort, he reluctantly cast the spell.
Before long, the pits and craters of varying sizes and depths were filled in and repaired one by one by Lin Lan’s powerful magic.
