Translator: Atlas Studios    Editor: Atlas Studios

Irritated by being disturbed, he interrupted her. “This is not within my jurisdiction. My task was just to give you the mission.”

Ji Ziyin clenched her fists tightly.

The other party was annoyed upon seeing that she was still not leaving. He stopped what he was doing and said to her, “You don’t have to wait. She won’t come today.”

Ji Ziyin looked at him. “But the Privy Council has stipulated that we are to take the mission today.”

The other party seemed to find her words ridiculous. He sneered, thinking he might as well be direct with her. “How would I know? Elder Xue came to me this morning to get the mission and said that he would personally send it to her. If you are dissatisfied, you can also get Elder Leo to receive the mission for you.”

The Privy Council was well-defined.

They did not have a single faction. Not being from the same faction, he did not give Leonard any face at all.

To someone like Ji Ziyin who got in through the back door, he mocked her mercilessly.

Ji Ziyin’s face gradually turned pale as if a basin of cold water had been poured on her head. She clenched the paper detailing the mission tightly and turned to leave without saying another word.

The other party did not care. Before she walked far, she could still hear the other party’s voice.

“She only entered the Privy Council because of Elder Leo. What’s there to be arrogant about?”

“Elder Leo doesn’t take her seriously, and she blames me?”

Ji Ziyin pursed her lips tightly and walked even faster.

She had not gone far when she ran into Leonard and the others walking toward her.

“You—” Leonard waved at her. “Why are you here? Come here.”

Ji Ziyin thought of the humiliation she had just suffered. Seeing the hooked-nosed elder, she pursed her lips and walked over calmly. She greeted him as politely as before. “Elder Leo.”

“Mm.” Leonard nodded nonchalantly. He turned and said to the others, “You guys go on. I’ll talk to her alone.”

The other members of the Radical Faction were not in the mood to entertain Ji Ziyin. All of them left without looking back.

In the blink of an eye, only Leonard and her were left in the corridor.

The hooked-nosed elder did not even look at her as he asked in a businesslike manner, “Did you get the mission?”

Ji Ziyin lowered her eyelashes, and the thorn in her heart burned even hotter.

“I got it.”

“Oh alright, as long as you have it,” Leonard said, still not looking at her. “The Empress just called and asked about you.”

Ji Ziyin suddenly raised her head, and her eyes lit up.

“The Empress asked me about your mission. I was going to look for you if we did not bump into each other here.”

If he had not just received Shadow’s call and the other party had not mentioned Ji Ziyin, he would have forgotten that there was such a newcomer in the Privy Council.

However, Ji Ziyin was someone they aggressively got in, so she could be considered a member of their faction.

Regardless of whether it was out of interest or out of pride, he had to show some concern for her.

Hence, Leonard asked her about the mission. Ji Ziyin answered his questions one by one. He frowned slightly when he heard that Qiao Nian did not come today.

His expression turned surprised when Ji Ziyin vaguely mentioned that Elder Xue had specially gone to get the mission for Qiao Nian. Then, his mouth curled up in disdain, as if he despised the other party for rushing to please a newbie.

“He just wants to curry favor with the Ji family.”

Ji Ziyin mentioned this to test Leonard’s attitude. She was satisfied with the hooked-nosed elder’s show of disdain..
