"Qi Mingyu, your persona has collapsed." Xu Rou, the "group's darling," walked up to Qi Mingyu in a sweet and coquettish voice and said this in a soft tone.
Xu Rou is quite a remarkable person.
Her father was a high-ranking general in the Sheng Kingdom's war effort, and her mother was the founder of the Yaxu Group, one of the top ten companies in the Sheng Kingdom. Both her parents were highly respected and prominent figures in the business and political spheres. As their only daughter, and also very beautiful, Xu Rou was naturally the object of everyone's admiration. Her words only intensified the already eager efforts of the first and second teams.
"Qi Mingyu, no matter what, you used to be an elite member of the Third Team. Being assigned by Director An to be a subordinate of some greenhorn must be very unpleasant, right?"
"Qi Mingyu, didn't you boast that you wouldn't give face even if the King of Heaven himself came? What, have you been bewitched by this pretty girl?"
"Qi Mingyu, for the sake of our past relationship, if you just call me 'boss' today, I'll help you apply to the Security Bureau to transfer you to our second team. How about that? Am I being a good friend?"
"Qi Mingyu..."
"..."
Qi Mingyu's face darkened upon hearing those words. He had just clenched his fist, ready to teach them a lesson and show them why the flowers were so red, when Lin Yi spoke up.
"Does Mingyu have a persona? How come I didn't know?"
"Xu Rou, I remember you're not familiar with our Mingyu at all. I suggest you don't flatter yourself and deliberately come up to him. Not everyone likes a white lotus like you who offers herself up to him."
Lin Yi is also a girl, so it's reasonable for her to criticize Xu Rou.
After all, there's an old saying that three women make a drama.
This was the first time Qi Mingyu had been protected in such a special way, and his gaze towards Lin Yi suddenly became intensely passionate without him even realizing it.
Men shouldn't get involved in the "war" between women, so all the men remained silent.
Team Three also has a female member named Wan Li, who is the youngest daughter of Wan Yang, the vice president of the Xuanmen Association. Wan Li and Xu Rou have been close friends since they were very young.
Seeing her best friend being humiliated by Lin Yi, a woman from a humble background who was not worthy of being mentioned in public, she immediately stepped forward and slapped her across the face. "Lin Yi, who do you think you are? Do you have the right to speak here?"
All of this happened so fast.
Before anyone could react, Lin Yi was hit.
The most furious person was Qi Mingyu, after all, Lin Yi was trying to protect him.
He rushed over, looking like he was going to beat Wan Li up, which startled Lin Yi. She hurriedly grabbed Qi Mingyu's arm, "Brother Mingyu, I'm fine, don't be impulsive, the bureau doesn't allow fighting."
"Your face is all red, and the handprint is clearly visible. You call this nothing?" Lu Heng was furious.
Cheng Ranzhi and Ji Zitong said in unison, "Are they bullying Lin Yi? Do they think our Team Seven has no one else?"
With four men staring at her, it would be a miracle if Wan Li wasn't scared.
She instinctively shrank back, "What kind of behavior is it for a bunch of grown men to bully a girl like me?"
Lin Yi was so angry at Wan Li's shamelessness that she laughed. Pointing to her own face, she said, "Who's bullying whom here? Please get this straight and stop with the sour grapes."
Wan Li's delicate brows furrowed again and again. "You...you have such a 'cheap' mouth, you deserve to be beaten."
Both Team One and Team Two felt that Wan Li's words were not right and were clearly sophistry, but because the person being bullied was Lin Yi, who was not outstanding in terms of family background, appearance, or ability, no one intended to stop Wan Li.
Lin Yi's hand quietly clenched.
The word 'cheap' is her Achilles' heel.
Because that man used to curse his mother and her in the same way.
"Wan Li, you must apologize to me."
Lin Yi's demand for an apology was nothing but a joke to Wan Li. She coldly curled her lip, "Apologize to you? Do you deserve it? Don't forget, even your own father has to bow and scrape before me."
"I don't have a biological father." Lin Yi said as she approached Wan Li step by step, almost squeezing out another sentence through gritted teeth, "Apologize to me immediately, right now."
Wan Li: "Lin Yi, if you're not fully awake, sleep some more, don't..."
Before Wan Li could finish speaking, Lin Yi had already released the pressure of a fifth-level Xuan Master, coldly threatening Wan Li, "I heard you want to participate in the Special Security Bureau's anniversary event. Tell me, if I insist on competing with you, will they choose me or you?"
"A level five Xuan Master?"
Someone in the crowd gasped in surprise. More and more people followed suit, their words filled with shock and envy.
"Lin Yi has actually advanced to a level five Xuan Master? When did this happen?"
"Just two weeks ago, she was promoted to level four in the monthly assessment. How did she reach level five in just two weeks?"
"A level five female sorcerer is a rare sight. Lin Yi's future is limitless..."
"..."
Although Lin Yi was inferior to Wan Li in every way and had always been the unremarkable one, she had now advanced to a fifth-level Xuan Master. Even though she was still not as good as Wan Li in every aspect, who could predict the future if she was willing?
After all, the cultivation of mystical arts practitioners involves some degree of bloodline inheritance. Many prominent figures in the mystical world and from prestigious families hope to find a talented female mystic to marry their family heir.
The thought that she was only a level three Xuan Master while Lin Yi, that "bitch," was actually a level five Xuan Master twisted Wan Li's face. "Lin Yi, do you know who I am? How dare you threaten me?"
"No matter who you are, you must apologize to me, or I will absolutely not let this go." Lin Yi smiled gently, appearing poised and graceful, which was pleasing to the eye.
Compared to Lin Yi, Wan Li is the other extreme.
In an instant, even the members of the first and second teams couldn't help but stand on Lin Yi's side.
"Wan Li, you really shouldn't have hit and scolded Lin Yi for no reason. We're all colleagues, it's just an apology, or you could..."
"..."
Hearing those indiscriminate and unreasonable persuasions, Wan Li was truly furious.
Lin Yi, I will never let you get away with this.
One day, I will make you kneel at my feet and beg for my forgiveness.
With malicious thoughts running through her mind, Wan Li reluctantly apologized to Lin Yi, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have hit you, and I shouldn't have scolded you. I hope you can forgive me."
Lin Yi: "I'm sorry, I can't forgive you."
Wan Li: "???"
What's the meaning?
The rest of the group: "???"
Is this even allowed?
Under their astonished gazes, Lin Yi spoke again, "I don't intend to pursue this matter further. Let's leave it at that."
…
Because of the incident between Lin Yi and Wan Li, the matter of Yin Yang Wan Jiao can be considered closed.
After they all quieted down, Wan Jiao cleared her throat. "Since Director An entrusted this case to me, I must take responsibility for everyone's safety."
"Wan Li, step forward."
