Chapter 24 – From Whom?

Du Han Yue’s hand was left hanging, his smile becoming stiff. He could not believe what just happened. When he returned to reality, he embarrassingly pulled his hand back to his body. His face was bright red as if it’s just been slapped.

A hostile look replaced his fake smile as Du Han Yue stared at Zi Yan’s back. If she didn’t walk out of a runicle, he would probably have walked up to her and slapped her.

The strongest teenager in the Du family usually didn’t get ignored in any circumstances unless he was asked to be left alone!

‘Who is this young girl? And what’s with the runicle? She is definitely not an ordinary girl…’ Grandpa Ye Zheng Qing was wondering what business this mysterious girl had here at the arena on the morning of this big fight.

Ye Wei was the only one in the family who knew Zi Yan and even he did not know her intention. Let alone the rest of the family. They were getting increasingly confused and anxious as Zi Yan got closer, especially Ye Zheng Qing, he did not want the situation to get worse than it already is.

“Good morning Patriarch Ye!” Lin Zi Yan politely greeted Ye Zheng Qing with a bow. From how well she presented herself Ye Zheng Qing could tell that this was no ordinary girl. She started searching for someone in the crowd as her sweet voice like an angel’s faded into the crowd’s noise.

Lin Zi Yan looked excited like she had some news to share.

“Hey little girl, are you looking for someone?” Ye Zheng Qing was pretty sure she meant no harm by now, but still, he would like to know what she was after as by the looks of it she was looking for someone from the Ye family… This small disruption actually got his mind off the stress he was under.

‘Does anyone know this girl here?’

“I am looking for Ye Wei.” She answered. There were too many people standing in front of Ye Wei, and despite her greatest efforts she could not see him.

“For whom?”

The Ye family camp was speechless. It was obvious this mysterious little girl had some powerful connections, and she’s looking for Ye Wei?

It would make more sense if she was here for Ye Zhong as he does have some admirers and she could be here to support him knowing how important this fight was. No, not even Ye Zhong was in this girl’s league.

Here for Ye Wei!?

For what the family knew, Ye Wei was still a underachieving one star Student with no talent. Probably his red Sentient was the reason for him being at the one star level for three years despite South Star Academy’s reputation. And now a girl like this was somehow connected to Ye Wei? None of it made any sense to them.

“M… Zi Yan, why are you here?” Ye Wei was still not use to not calling her miss, he slowly walked out of the crowd and answered.

‘Zi Yan? So this is the substitute teacher little Wei was talking about so much? That Zi Yan?’ Ye Zhong was surprised, he knew who she was now, but seeing her in person was another thing altogether. He never imagined her to be this young, graceful, and elegant. On top of her looks, her good manners indicated she was brought up by a great family.

‘No wonder why little Wei seemed to be getting over Joe Yin’s betrayal so well. Having a great person who cares about you certainly helps, and Joe Yin does not even look half as good!’ Ye Zhong was glad his little cousin had someone like that on his side and wondered what she was doing here.

Wei’s dad Ye Yi and gramps were the most shocked out of the lot. ‘What’s between those two?’ They stared at Ye Wei waiting for them to speak.

“Ye, I thought were going to fight? Can people who have no business here just get out of the way!” Du Han Yue was extremely unpleased that he got ignored, he shouted out of anger.

Zi Yan answered him with a frown on her face, sighing she gave Du Han Yue a cold look. “Hasn’t anyone taught you how to behave in public? Interrupting is considered rude.”

‘Rude? You have to be joking right? You’re here for you petty little crush while making a fool of yourself, and you’re calling me rude?’ Du Han Yue was about to give Zi Yan a lecture on how to behave in public.

The Du Patriarch spotted something and that something gave him chill. Du Yuan Ming was trying to find clues that would tell him who this little girl was and as his eyes were darting around that’s when he noticed something on Zi Yan’s dress. There was a tiny tulip embroidering, though it was only thumb sized. Being a seven star Condensed Prime Warrior gave him extraordinary vision and while everyone else was admiring Zi Yan’s beauty, Du Yue Ming saw what they couldn’t see.
