"Lin Yuan, what a fine mess you've made!"
As expected, no sooner had the call connected than Ji Bieqing's infuriated voice came through.
Lin Yuan immediately apologized in a compliant manner, "I'm sorry, Your Highness, I was wrong, and I've caused you trouble."
"Wrong? With the way you were acting all high and mighty last time, you almost rode roughshod over Lonely. Had Lonely not agreed, were you about to draw your sword and stab Lonely, huh?"
"You're really overthinking it, Your Highness. My emotions were simply too impetuous at the time, but I never dared harbor any blasphemous thoughts towards you, Princess."
"Oh? Then tell Lonely, where did you go wrong?"
"I was really too angry. Sister Bing and the captain had achieved so much for the Originators, yet they wouldn't even let the captain and the others rest in peace... In a moment of rashness, I blurted out the information about the Sub-human's cultivation!"
