From what Tian Ningning said, Lin Yuan knew that she did not come to the Spirit Food Pavilion to eat often. She only came occasionally when there was an event on Star Web.

“Next time, I’ll invite you to my home for a meal so that you can taste Liu Jie’s fish soup,” said Lin Yuan.

Tian Ningning asked in surprise, “Liu Jie? The same Liu Jie of the Radiance Hundred Sequence? You live with Liu Jie?”

Lin Yuan nodded and said, “Yes. We live together. This is what I wanted to talk to you about. We started a guild club where we live and plan on entering next year’s S Tournament. Are you interested in becoming our team reporter?”

Tian Ningning immediately choked on her soup and coughed for some time before regaining her composure.

In their messages on Star Web, Lin Yuan had mentioned that he had something to discuss with her.

At that time, she had wondered if he had decided to accept an interview.

However, she never expected that he would offer her such a huge opportunity.

She turned and said enthusiastically, “I’m willing! If you’re okay with leaving the guild club in my hands as the team reporter, I promise to perform to the best of my ability. Also, you mentioned that you live with Liu Jie and that you started a guild club where you live. Does this mean that Liu Jie is a member of the team?”

Lin Yuan nodded and replied, “You’re right. Liu Jie is a member of the main team.”

Tian Ningning was now certain that the team Lin Yuan was building had a good chance of becoming a B-level team.

With Liu Jie and Lin Yuan in the team, they could rise to the top 16 even if the rest of the team was made of imbeciles.

Nonetheless, it was unlikely that Liu Jie and Lin Yuan would allow imbeciles to join their team.

Tian Ningning felt a rush of excitement course through her.

“There are two slots of the main team that haven’t been filled yet, and I don’t think you know the last member. However, I already have a potential candidate for one of the two empty slots. It should be settled once I meet with him. The reserve team has already been filled up. Four of them were the previous reserve team members of the Extreme Guild Club, Zhang Xiaobai, Lu Pinru, Tan Ran, and Xin Ying. The last member is my sister, Chu Ci.”

Tian Ningning felt that the guild club Lin Yuan was setting up seemed to be gunning for the top three of the S Tournament.

Although she rarely paid attention to any news on Star Web that was not about Black, she had heard of Chu Ci.

Many people were comparing Black and Chu Ci, but she never expected that the fairy of Bronze/Fantasy feys would turn out to be Lin Yuan’s sister.

Just how amazing was the DNA in this family?

Tian Ningning also knew of Zhang Xiaobai, Xin Ying, Lu Pinru, and Tan Ran, as well as their capabilities.

Although their feys did not particularly stand out in the S Tournament, they had plenty of fighting experience.

Tian Ningning had been able to become Black’s exclusive reporter because of the four of them.

However, Tian Ningning frowned after she heard what Lin Yuan said.

Zhang Xiaobai and the rest had still been part of the Extreme Guild Club in the last competition season. But now, they were going to join Lin Yuan’s new guild club.

Many would assume that Lin Yuan had poached the Extreme Guild Club’s members in such a situation.

If this information turned into news, it would likely gain negative traction.

Thus, Tian Ningning planned on tackling this issue as her first task as the team reporter.

After she gathered her thoughts, Tian Ningning’s mind flew to the question of why so many young disciples of veteran and top factions were insulting Black so as to gain Lin Yuan’s favor.

Previously, she had been under the impression that Lin Yuan had fanned the fires of that flame. Otherwise, it would not have grown to such a big scale.

The young main disciples of veteran and top factions mostly kept a low profile on Star Web.

But now that Tian Ningning knew Lin Yuan and Black were the same person, she knew that Lin Yuan was not the type of person to start such a conflict.

He was a low-profile person himself. But even if he was the type to crave attention, it was illogical for him to encourage others to call him weak.

Tian Ningning was about to ask Lin Yuan about this matter when she heard a meow followed by a child-like voice saying, “Yuan, I want to eat red braised meat.”

Lin Yuan scratched Genius’ nose.

The food-loving Genius soon gobbled up the duck meat.

Before Lin Yuan could say anything, Tian Ningning stood up and said, “I’m going to order red braised meat.”

She walked through the curtain out of the Depending on Plums Room.

Lin Yuan did not stop her since he had already paid the server 10,000 Radiance dollars when he came in.

Even if he was poor, there was no way he would allow Tian Ningning to pay for the meal.

…

The Floating Bamboo Room was full of people.

The Floating Bamboo Room was the largest room in the Spirit Food Pavilion, and 20 to 30 people could be seated at the table.

Everyone currently seated at the table was staring at a chubby young man talking into a phone.

The chubby young man revealed a salacious smile that sent shivers up people’s spines. He kept his back bowed as words of flattery were spewed out of his mouth.

The chubby young man was not seated at the head of the table. Rather, he was seated to the left of the main seat.

No food had been served, and it was clear that they were waiting for the main guest to arrive.

After hanging up the call, the chubby man’s expression immediately turned haughty as he said, “Young Master Miao is coming later, and he said that he’s bringing the Second Young Master of the Zheng family with him. Make sure you watch what you say and that your flattery doesn’t go askew!”
