The young girl, wearing sunglasses, opened the car door with her right hand, stepped out in stylish leather boots. Although she was only around fifteen years old, and not yet fully developed, she was already recognized as one of the top three beauties in the Ancient Martial Realm. Many admired her.

This girl was none other than Xiao Tianyu's only sister, Xiao Ziyan.

Moreover, the Ancient Martial Realm is different from Huaxia; once you turn fifteen, you are eligible to get a driver's license.

Currently, Xiao Ziyan's expression wasn't very pleasant, as the family had gone through significant changes. Xiao Sheng had been killed by her second brother, Xiao Tianyu. Originally, Xiao Ziyan wanted to find her brother and ask him why, but unfortunately, she had no idea where Xiao Tianyu was.

Subsequently, Xiao Ziyan walked towards Xingyu Cafe in her leather boots. Upon entering, the female waitstaff was exceptionally polite, and to Xiao Ziyan's surprise, this visit seemed different from usual, as the hall manager personally greeted her.

"Miss, please!" The female hall manager gestured invitingly.

"Hmm?" At the words, Xiao Ziyan frowned. Normally when she came here, the waitstaff would call her Miss Xiao, but this time they omitted the surname and just called her Miss.

Between the titles Miss Xiao and Miss, the meaning is quite different. The title Miss is akin to calling someone Master; in other words, only those of high status would be addressed as Miss.

However, even though Xiao Ziyan was surprised, she didn't make much of it. Soon, under the guidance of the hall manager, she chose a seat with very good ambiance.

"Miss, please sit!" The female manager gestured, Xiao Ziyan nodded slightly and sat down, while the manager left respectfully.

After the manager returned to the office, a female staff member followed her in, asking, "Manager, did you want to see me?"

"Yes!" The manager nodded, staring at the staff member and said, "That young lady just now is Mr. Xiao's younger sister; do not be negligent. Do you understand? But Mr. Xiao has instructed that we must not tell her the truth!"

"Understood!" The staff member nodded, showing a hint of envy, thinking to herself why she didn't have a brother who pampered her like that.

In the main hall.

A female staff member brought coffee over to Xiao Ziyan, smiling as she spoke, "Miss, your coffee!"

"Hmm?" Xiao Ziyan frowned and said, "I haven't ordered coffee yet!"

"This is a complimentary offer from our shop, and it's the finest coffee we have. Please enjoy, Miss!" The staff member smiled, leaving Xiao Ziyan rather puzzled, wondering if Xingyu Cafe was hosting an event today.

Nonetheless, Xiao Ziyan didn't think much of it, as she had no connection to Xingyu and certainly didn't think the cafe would offer her special treatment.

At this moment, a group of men and women entered from outside. Leading the group were a young man and woman, both quite charismatic, roughly in their twenties. After scanning the cafe, their gaze settled on Xiao Ziyan.

"Sister, whether I can win Ziyan over is up to you!" The young man leading the group whispered to the woman beside him, an evil gleam in his eyes.

The woman's eyes sparkled beautifully, "Leave it to me, but don't forget what you promised me!"

"Isn't it just a Yellow Realm Technique? As long as I can win over Xiao Ziyan, I'd find a way to get even a Profound Level one!"

"Good!" The woman smiled lightly, then looked towards Xiao Ziyan and spoke, "Ziyan, you really are here!"

"Zhuge Lanshan, what brings you looking for me?" Xiao Ziyan's eyes flashed with surprise.

Indeed, the woman was from the Zhuge Clan, Zhuge Lanshan.

As for the man, he was Zhuge Lanshan's brother, Zhuge Changyun.

Zhuge Changyun had long been enamored with Xiao Ziyan, but unfortunately, Xiao Ziyan had no interest in him, even harboring a trace of disgust.

However, Xiao Ziyan and Zhuge Lanshan were somewhat acquainted.

"Sister Ziyan, it makes me sad when you speak like that. I've come all this way to inform you of something important!" Zhuge Lanshan smiled lightly.

"What is it?" Xiao Ziyan asked.

"My sister is hosting a twentieth birthday party at the Celestial Universe Hotel tomorrow night, hence I'm here specifically..."

"Didn't ask you!" Xiao Ziyan interrupted.

Zhuge Changyun's eyes flashed with displeasure, but it passed quickly, unnoticed by Xiao Ziyan. Zhuge Lanshan continued to smile and said, "My brother is just trying to win your favor, but if Sister Ziyan doesn't like talking to him, I won't let him speak!"

With that, Zhuge Lanshan took out an invitation from her pocket, placed it in front of Xiao Ziyan, and continued, "Tomorrow night at six, you must come, Sister Ziyan. Besides you, there will be heirs and heiresses from all notable families in Fengzhou City. Who knows, your Prince Charming might appear at the party tomorrow!"

"Understood!" Xiao Ziyan nodded slightly, "I will definitely attend your birthday party!"

Upon hearing Xiao Ziyan agree, a greedy light flashed in Zhuge Changyun's eyes. After tomorrow night, let's see what capital you have left to maintain your indifference, still thinking of yourself as the once high and mighty Miss of the Xiao Family?

With the Xiao Family patriarch now deceased, it isn't a secret in the Ancient Martial Realm. After all, walls have ears, and even if the Xiao Family tried to hide it, the truth couldn't be concealed for long. Moreover, after the patriarch's death, the Xiao Family's status has plummeted.

After Zhuge Changyun and his group left, the hall manager approached Xiao Ziyan, smiling slightly, "Miss, those people seem to harbor ill intentions, I advise you not to attend tomorrow night's party!"

"Thanks for the warning!" Xiao Ziyan responded.

"Since Miss insists, I won't say more," the hall manager smiled slightly and walked away.

After all, the birthday party was to be held at the Celestial Universe International Hotel, and if there really was any issue, they would naturally inform Mr. Xiao.

…

Central Manor.

Shangguan Biyue and Xiao Tianyu had just returned home half an hour ago when a knock sounded at the door. Despite her curiosity, Shangguan Biyue opened the door.

Once the door was open, she was suddenly surprised, "Ye Qingcheng?"

"Is he here?" Ye Qingcheng's eyes sparkled with anticipation.

However, before Ye Qingcheng could finish speaking, a voice came from the kitchen, "Honey, dinner's ready!"

Honey?

This term felt endearing, except it wasn't directed at her, Ye Qingcheng. If it weren't for her previous disdain and hurtful words, perhaps today that term 'honey' would have been addressed to her, Ye Qingcheng.

Unfortunately, she, Ye Qingcheng, had destroyed any chance of that happening.

"Ah, Tianyu is so annoying, calling me honey all the time without being married, just so vexing!" Shangguan Biyue deliberately showed a trace of grievance, but Ye Qingcheng's expression remained unchanged, clearly influenced by Shangguan Biyue's words.

And Shangguan Biyue smiled lightly at Ye Qingcheng, "President Ye, you haven't dined yet, have you? How about trying Tianyu's cooking?"

"Sure!" Ye Qingcheng surprisingly agreed.

"…" What's the situation? Shangguan Biyue seemed bewildered.
