Upon these words, Long Chaoming, who initially wanted to put on a display of power and authority, trembled all over and instantly came to his senses.
"Good! Very well! I will report your words truthfully when I return, but I want to remind you that this matter will certainly not be resolved that simply. We’ll see!"
The Second Miss smiled faintly, "Happy to accompany you!"
"Let’s go!" Long Chaoming, feeling ashamed to stay any longer, led his group away in disgrace.
As soon as he stepped out, a burst of enthusiastic cheers erupted in the reception hall.
Many people looked at the Second Miss with faces full of admiration.
The Second Miss, however, remained silent and simply said, "Return to your posts!"
"Yes!"
After everyone had dispersed, the Second Miss turned and walked towards the back. After passing through three corridors and crossing a small courtyard, she arrived at a place of floral splendor.
The flower hall was surrounded by a profusion of flowers, various exotic plants competing for beauty, it was truly a breathtaking sight!
The Second Miss followed a path through the flowers and entered the flower hall.
This hall was artfully arranged, surrounded by green veils, with a warm breeze carrying waves of floral fragrance, immersing both the interior and exterior of the hall in a delightful aroma.
Inside the flower hall, there stood a screen.
At this moment, behind the screen, a figure could be seen sitting alone, intermittently picking up and placing chess pieces, actually playing a game against themselves.
The Second Miss stopped in her tracks, bowed slightly, seemingly wary of disturbing the thoughts of the person behind the screen, and remained silent.
This silence lasted for a long time, until the person behind the screen placed another chess piece, and finally spoke, "Have they left?"
"They have gone!"
"How did they leave?"
The Second Miss took a deep breath and recounted the events.
After listening, the person behind the screen fell silent for a moment, then suddenly chuckled softly, "What’s your opinion?"
The Second Miss said in a solemn voice, "It seems that the Long Family can no longer restrain themselves and want to use this matter to test the reaction of our Yue Clan!"
"Precisely!" A light sigh came from behind the screen, "If it were any other martial family’s branch, even if you gave Long Chaoming ten more guts, he wouldn’t dare come here to intimidate us. It seems they truly think there’s no one in the Yue Clan to challenge them!"
With that, the person waved a hand and a piece dropped onto the board, making a crisp and pleasing clashing sound.
The Second Miss’s eyes glinted with a cold light, her killing intent palpable, "Should we take action and assert our might?"
"No need! They’re using this to force me out, so they must have heard some news. If we retaliate now, we’ll only appear more guilty!"
"Yes!" The Second Miss bowed and agreed, her eyes’ murderous intent gradually restraining.
At this time, another voice came from behind the screen, "Where are Huan’er and the others now?"
"They’re almost there, at most three days’ journey left!"
"That little girl...is quite quick on her feet!" The person laughed softly, a hint of doting in their voice.
The Second Miss seemed like she wanted to speak but hesitated.
"What is it?"
The Second Miss’s eyes briefly wavered, "No...nothing!"
"Hmm! Then you may go!" The voice from behind the screen spoke softly.
"Yes!"
