Although Long Tao did not find out who Chief Guard Ye’s disciple was at the Guard Ye Banquet, he had exchanged contact details with Liu Jie.
After giving it some thought, Long Tao decided to call Liu Jie to see if he would be able to contact Lin Yuan or ask him if he could settle the matter personally.
Since the disciples of top and veteran factions were trying to gain Lin Yuan’s favor, someone with status as high as Lin Yuan’s should make a statement that could place a lid on the matter.
Frankly, Long Tao did not want to call Liu Jie just because of Black but because of Lin Yuan as well.
Lin Yuan had the Order of Radiant Light and would eventually compete to become one of the Radiance Envoys.
If this incident ended up painting Lin Yuan as someone who was overly aggressive, his road to becoming a Radiance Envoy would be an isolated one.
Liu Jie, who had just evolved his sacred source lifeform, inhaled sharply and was about to drink the Silver Stamen Gold Luster Cassia nectar that Lin Yuan had given him to cleanse his soul so as to enable the Insect Queen to gain control of the insect-species carcinoma fey when he heard his phone ring in his left pocket.
Liu Jie raised an eyebrow. When he had decided not to reveal his identity at the Guard Ye Banquet, he had prepared himself by getting another phone and registering for another Star Web account.
The phone that was currently ringing was the extra one he had prepared.
He took out the phone and picked it up when he saw that the call was coming from Long Tao.
Liu Jie had met Long Tao before, but he had introduced himself again using a different identity. This felt strange to him.
Now, he knew why Lin Yuan needed separate Star Web accounts for each of his three identities. Now, he also had three, one as the disciple of Chief Guard Ye, another one as Liu Jie, who was #30 of the Radiance Hundred Sequence, and the third one as the leader of the white-clothed followers.
He would be able to follow Lin Yuan in whichever capacity he chose to appear in.
Liu Jie felt comforted by this, and it was also Liu Jie’s desire to follow in Lin Yuan’s footsteps as his retainer.
He guessed that Long Tao had something to discuss with him. But when he picked up the call, Liu Jie frowned all the way until Long Tao finished speaking.
Liu Jie asked Long Tao. “Did you contact Lin Yuan before calling me?”
“I called Lin Yuan twice before I called you, but he didn’t pick up. I called you so that this matter can be settled as soon as possible,” replied Long Tao.
Liu Jie replied in a low tone, “Let me handle this.”
Liu Jie hung up the call without telling Long Tao what he was going to do.
This did not assure Long Tao.
The disciple of Chief Guard Ye probably was not acquainted with Black. If Liu Jie said on Star Web that there was no comparison between Black and Lin Yuan, those disciples of veteran and top factions who had not yet joined in the debate might jump in immediately.
At that point, Black might be even more negatively affected.
Long Tao, who was initially going to go to his breeding room to evolve his feys, hastily logged into Star Web.
This was when he saw the message that Liu Jie had posted.
“I don’t know who is stronger between Lin Yuan and Black. They had dinner together tonight, and neither of them wanted to discuss who was stronger.”
There was a function on Star Web to verify identities. Although Liu Jie’s account was new, it had already been verified. His name, Young Liege of Midnight Palace, immediately pushed him to the status of one of the most elite young people in the Radiance Federation.
Long Tao immediately smiled when he saw Liu Jie’s message and shared the post. He asked his guild club teammates like Zhao Xiaochun and Fang Duoduo to share Liu Jie’s post as well.
Soon, everyone on Star Web saw Liu Jie’s post, and their first reaction was to assume that it was just a rumor. One of these people was Loi Lang.
However, after these people harboring suspicion opened Liu Jie’s Star Web account, their jaws immediately snapped shut.
The verification by the Star Web officials could not be fabricated. Thus, there was no way that the post could be fake.
No one could believe that Lin Yuan and Black not only knew each other but were also friends. They had to be friends in order to eat dinner together.
Liu Jie’s message made those who were attacking Black for Lin Yuan’s sake immediately feel like they had made fools of themselves. They deleted all the posts they had made about Black and Lin Yuan.
After Liu Jie’s post, the curtain fell on this incident.
Tian Ningning, who had been watching the activity on Star Web, could not help but cry as a flood of emotions overcame her after she saw Liu Jie’s post.
She could not help but cry out, “It’s finally over! Finally over!”
But she still felt that she had a responsibility to talk to Black as his exclusive reporter.
Lin Yuan had just received messages from braised egg head, Zhou Jiaxin, Violent-Tempered Woman, and the others.
Although Lin Yuan did not block everyone’s posts like he did with Black’s account, he did not have many friends on Star Web.
He did not even add most of the Purchase With No Loss store members as his friends.
Nonetheless, he immediately clicked on the messages to open and read them.
A number of emotions flashed across his face in quick succession.
Lin Yuan could not believe how many people had insulted him for nothing.
Just as he was about to come up with a way to fix the situation, he saw Liu Jie’s post and knew that the issue was no more. There was no need for him to try to fix the situation himself.
Lin Yuan immediately thought of Tian Ningning, who was Black’s exclusive reporter.
He logged out of his Star Web and into Black’s Star Web account.
This was when he saw the more than 99 messages that Tian Ningning had sent him.
At that moment, Lin Yuan felt he was too inconsiderate toward his exclusive reporter.
He had been so busy that he had no time to rest, much less tend to Tian Ningning.
So far, he had been extremely satisfied with Tian Ningning’s work as his exclusive reporter.
Lin Yuan felt that it was time for him to have a frank and open conversation with Tian Ningning.
