Siguro may importanteng mangyayari

Ye Wanwan's mind was an utter mess.

Magulo ang isipan ni Ye Wan Wan.

According to Taoist Devotee and Nameless Nie, they looked for news of Si Yehan after returning to the Independent State.

Ayon sa Deboto ng Taoist at kay Nameless Nie, naghanap sila ng balita tungkol kay Si Ye Han nang makabalik sila sa Independeng State.

Si Yehan should be a member of the Si clan.

Miyembro dapat ng Si clan si Si Ye Han.

However… the man on the throne was clearly identical to Si Yehan aside from his head of ashen hair.

Gayunpaman… ang lalaki na nasa trono ay kamukang-kamukha ni Si Ye Han maliban na lang sa kulay abo niyang buhok.

Although Ye Wanwan wanted to go up immediately and ask him, she wasn't dumb. She couldn't expose herself in this kind of setting.

Kahit na gustong umakyat ni Ye Wan Wan at tanungin si Lord Asura, hindi naman tanga si Ye Wan Wan para gawin ito. Hindi niya pwedeng ibulgar ang kanyang sarili sa ganitong lugar.

There was also a point that Ye Wanwan didn't understand. The man on the throne clearly met her eyes, so if he was Si Yehan… why didn't he recognize her or react at all…?

May punto rin na hindi na naintindihan ito ni Ye Wan Wan. Nagkatinginan sila ng lalaki na nasa trono, kaya kung siya si Si Ye Han… bakit hindi siya nito nakilala o bakit hindi siya nagkaroon ng reaksyon…?

"I didn't expect the mysterious Lord Asura to break his mysteriousness today and expose himself in front of the world… It appears Asura will walk into the spotlight from behind the scenes. They probably have something major planned," the curly-haired man said.

"Hindi ko inasahan na ang misteryosong Lord Asura ay hindi na magiging misteryoso at ipapakita niya ang kanyang sarili sa harap ng mundo… mukhang pasimple na lumalapit sa spotlight ang Asura. May importanteng binalak siguro ang mga ito," sinabi ng lalaking kulot.

The man on the throne was imperceptibly surveying everyone and quickly looking away, as though he was unwilling to let Ye Wanwan discover his identity.

Ang lalaking nasa trono ay sinusuri ang lahat at biglang lumayo ang kanyang tingin, parang ayaw niyang ipaalam sa lahat na kilala niya si Ye Wan Wan.

"Senior Fu."

Si Yehan called the steward next to him.

Tinawag ni Si Ye Han ang steward na nasa tabi niya.

"My Lord, what instructions do you have?" The elderly steward, Senior Fu, went up swiftly.

"Kamahalan, ano ang iyong utos?" Tanong ng matandang steward na si Senior Fu.

"Tell Lin Que to refrain from appearing," Si Yehan ordered.

"Sabihin mo kay Lin Que na huwag kamo siya lalabas," utos ni Ye Wan Wan.

Senior Fu looked slightly confused as to why Lord Asura laid down this order but nodded and left.

Nagtaka si Senior Fu kung bakit ito inutos sa kanya ni Lord Asura, ngunit tumango na lamang siya at umalis.

Lin Que was currently heading toward Si Yehan's direction with large strides.

Papunta na sana si Lin Que kay Si Ye Han.

Before he could get any closer, he was pulled aside by Senior Fu.

Bago pa siya makalapit, bigla siyang hinila sa gilid ni Senior Fu.

"Senior Fu, what are you doing?" Lin Que asked, bewildered.

"Senior Fu, anong ginagawa mo?" Nagtaka si Lin Que.

"Lord Asura's orders. He doesn't want you to appear," the elderly steward calmly conveyed.

"Inutos ni Lord Asura na huwag ka raw magpapakita," paliwanag ng matandang lalaki.

"What?" Lin Que was baffled. Doesn't want me to appear? Why?

"Ano?" Nagulat si Lin Que. Ayaw niya akong magpakita? Bakit?

Senior Fu said, "These are my Lord's wishes."

Sumagot si Senior Fu, "Utos ito ng kamahalan ko."

"What's he up to…"

"Anong binabalak niya…"

Why isn't he allowing me to appear?

Bakit ayaw niya akong magpakita?

The confused Lin Que accidentally caught something in the corners of his eyes.

Biglang may nasulyapan ang nagtataka na si Lin Que.

He saw Ye Wanwan's profile in the crowd and immediately froze.

Nakita niya si Ye Wan Wan sa nasa dumog ng mga tao.

"D*mn…" Lin Que looked like he saw a ghost and incredulously rubbed his eyes.

"P*ta…" parang nakakita ng multo si Lin Que habang kinukusot niya ang kanyang mga mata.

If he wasn't blind, wasn't that woman… Ye Wanwan?!

Kung hindi siya bulag, hindi ba't ang babaeng iyon ay si… Ye Wan Wan?!

Lin Que felt his head swelling up like a balloon. Isn't Ye Wanwan in China…? How did she come to the Independent State… and also appear in the conference summoned by Ninth Brother?!

Namamaga na ang utak ni Lin Que dahin hindi niya alam kung ano ang nangyayari. Hindi ba't nasa China si Ye Wan Wan…? Paano siya nakarating sa Independent State… at paano siya nakadalo sa conference ni 9th Brother?!

Lin Que finally understood why Ninth Brother told the steward to stop him from appearing…

Naintindihan na ni Lin Que kung bakit hindi siya pinayagan ni 9th Brother na humarap sa mga tao...

Ninth Brother probably didn't plan to admit his identity to Ye Wanwan… If he showed up, wouldn't he expose Ninth Brother completely…

Hindi plano ni 9th Brother na aminin ang kanyang pagkatao kay Ye Wan Wan… kung nagpakita siya, baka mabulgar pa ang pagkatao ni 9th Brother...

Lin Que wiped his sweat and quickly dodged to the side, not daring to walk any closer. Afraid that Ye Wanwan would see him, he was forced to hide in the corner and secretly assess the venue.

Pinunasan ni Lin Que ang kanyang pawis at mabilis siyang nagtago sa isang gilid dahil ayaw niyang makalapit. Natatakot siya na makita siya ni Ye Wan Wan, napilitan siyang magtago sa gilid at pasikretong suriin ang paligid.

…

In the manor:

Sa loob ng manor:

Si Yehan was silent for a while before detachedly saying, "I believe everyone is aware of this conference's objective."

Nanahimik ng panandalian si Si Ye Han at bigla siyang nagsalita, "Naiintindihan ko na alam ng lahat ang objective ng conference."

Yan Yun promptly took the initiative to walk toward Si Yehan and frantically nodded. "We know… Our Yan family will cooperate with everything we have and offer our tributes on time every month as agreed upon."

Kinuha ni Yan Yun ang pagkakataon na lumapit kay Si Ye Han at tumango siya. "Alam ko na… makikipagtulungan ng Yan family namin sa abot ng makakaya namin para magbigay ng buwis sa tamang oras kada buwan tulad ng pinag-usapan."

Si Yehan aloofly glanced at Yan Yun and didn't say anything.

Tiningnan ng masama ni Si Ye Han si Yan Yun at nanahimik lamang siya.

Yan Yun looked a little disappointed but continued to stare at the man in infatuation.

Mukhang nadismaya si Yan Yun habang humahanga siyang nakatingin sa lalaki na nasa trono.
