"Why is Lin Yi with Sister Chi Yuan? Could they be a couple?"
"Damn it, I thought Lin Yi didn't have a partner. I wanted to get closer to him, but someone beat me to it."
"Forget about dreaming. Even if it's not Sister Chi Yuan, it would be one of the other female rulers on the King List. You don't stand a chance!"
"..."
Lin Yi's appearance with Chi Yuan instantly caused a stir among the people present.
Many of the female Society members felt a surge of resentment in their hearts; with Chi Yuan around, their carefully planned tactics to charm Lin Yi had turned into bubbles.
Guided by Chi Yuan, Lin Yi went over to Yan Qingrou and greeted her with a clasped fist, "I'm sorry, I hope I'm not late?"
Yan Qingrou smiled and said, "Of course not. There was no specific time set for this tea gathering. Please take a seat."
Lin Yi nodded and then, along with Chi Yuan, found a seat nearby and sat down.
