Bai Yang from the East

If the Count were here, he might not have even given these two a chance to sit down.

Not long after, Wang arrived, also sitting at the end of the long table. But as soon as he sat down, the Eldest Miss said sarcastically, "Little brother, you've arrived later than the guests. Lately, your manners have become increasingly lacking."

Wang stood up apologetically and said, "I'm so sorry, I was a little late because of something."

Qin Rang smiled and waved his hand to ease the tension, saying, "It's alright, Young Master helped us a lot today, we are very grateful."

What they saw most this afternoon was Wang; compared to the busyness of the Eldest Miss and Eldest Young Master, this Young Master was really quite idle.

He'd either be reading a book and drinking tea in the Garden, or wandering around the Castle; it was easier to find him than to find one of your own servants.

"Heh." The Eldest Miss sneered, but since the guest had spoken, she didn't make things difficult for him anymore.

"Is everyone here? My apologies, I'm a bit late despite my long journey."

When only one seat remained at the long table, the Castle gate was pushed open forcefully, and a young man's cheerful voice rang out.

Hearing that familiar voice, Tao Yuan and the others turned around in surprise.

That round-faced boy in the loose white shirt, holding Doll and smiling innocently—wasn't he an old acquaintance of theirs?

Luo Jiayu hesitated. "This is..."

"This is the puppeteer we invited to perform at the Rivenhall Family banquet. His name is Bai Yang, and he comes from the far East," the Eldest Young Master introduced.

"Hello everyone, it's nice to meet you all." Bai Yang bowed slightly, and the Little Rabbit jumped from his arms onto his shoulder, bowing slightly in return.

The Eldest Miss became interested, her eyes darting eagerly towards the Little Rabbit.

The Eldest Young Master smiled and said, "Please sit down."

"Thank you for your generosity, Eldest Young Master." Bai Yang nodded slightly, and the Little Rabbit on his shoulder clapped its hands in response.

The Eldest Miss's eyes lit up, and she exclaimed in amazement, "What amazing Eastern magic! Bai Yang, I loved your performance!"

Qin Rang, who knew who he was:... I have a feeling Bai Yang is making fun of an idiot.

He finally understood what Bai Yang was thinking when he pretended to be stupid during their first meeting.

Sheng Qingqiao glanced at her sideways: Pretending, I'll see you pretending!

Bai Yang's seat was right next to Qin Rang's. As soon as he sat down, Qin Rang gave him a surprised look.

Qin Rang: So this is your true identity?

Bai Yang shrugged: Is that not allowed?

It's not that it's impossible, but why is it that the identities of these people in the organization always seem so unexpected?

These esteemed guests from the East performing this show seem to have far more freedom than their actual status.

He can also act as if he controls Sheng Qingqiao!

Bai Yang smiled at the Eldest Young Master and Eldest Miss: "Thank you for the compliment. It seems the Count's Estate has many guests today."

"They are guests of Count Dune's family. We happened to meet them at the nearby market a few days ago and sent them invitations. Fearing they might not make it in time due to their travel, my father invited them to come here for the banquet ahead of us."

The Eldest Miss looked at Tao Yuan: "I heard that your carriage and servants were left at the market. It shouldn't be a problem to go and retrieve them before you leave, right?"

Tao Yuan smiled and nodded, "Of course, no problem. Thank you for your kindness, Count."

Qin Rang replied, "I must thank the Count and the young master and lady for their hospitality. I apologize for the intrusion."

The Eldest Young Master said, "Ravenhall welcomes any friend who comes to visit."

"Ha, the way you're talking, it's as if you're the one who makes the decisions in this house," the Eldest Miss said coldly.

The Eldest Young Master slowly swirled his wine glass, arrogantly saying, "If I couldn't make the decision, it wouldn't be my Eldest Sister's place to say such things. Hasn't Eldest Sister caused enough trouble these past few days?"

"Mind your own business? Don't you have enough to do, little brother? Don't think I don't know about your inappropriate relationships with certain people."

The Eldest Young Master sneered disdainfully, his gaze fixed on Kane: "Let's leave my affairs aside for now. I saw it all, Kane, who was the woman you brought back today?"

Kane's face turned pale, and he hurriedly got up.

The Eldest Miss stopped using her knife and fork, her gaze sweeping towards Kane.

Dù'è group of people, forgetting their pretense of eating, stared wide-eyed at the gossip.

"Eldest Young Master, I... I..."

"You even brought her home?" The Eldest Miss's voice suddenly turned cold, and her knife and fork clattered loudly onto the plate.

Kane looked anxiously at Wang, who shook his head innocently. He didn't know his parents wouldn't be home tonight. If he had known, he wouldn't have let him bring that woman home.

Well, that's bad. We won't see the excitement... no, we can still see the excitement, but it's likely to backfire.

"I... I..." Kane stammered, unable to speak, his head covered in sweat from anxiety.

The other Illegitimate Son was not related to the main wife, said, "Kane has his reasons. If the Eldest Miss doesn't like it, just have him send her away."

The Eldest Miss raised an eyebrow. "Who gives you the right to speak here?"

The Eldest Young Master shook his head at him. "Don't get involved in this."

The Illegitimate Son could only nod, giving Kane a helpless look.

Kane glanced at the Eldest Miss, whose eyes were already filled with murderous intent, then at the indifferent Eldest Young Master, and finally his gaze quietly settled on Wang.

Wang Ding noticed the change in his gaze and was about to say something, but Qin Rang stopped him with a look.

We need to get them to make a scene so they'll have more information.

Wang Ding frowned, paused, and gave up trying to persuade him.

This place is a bizarre world, and even if he speaks, he can't change anything; he might even implicate his teammates.

Noticing Kane's gaze, Wang raised his right eyebrow, lowered his eyes to stare at the cutlery, and forcefully drew a white mark on the silver cutlery with his finger.

The next moment, Kane pointed at Wang and said to the Eldest Miss, "It was him! He's the one who told me to bring that woman in! I was just following the Young Master's orders, Eldest Miss, it really has nothing to do with me!"

Wang froze, both the Eldest Miss and the Eldest Young Master casting unfriendly glances at him, Qin Rang and the others also turned their attention to Wang.

Kane, by shifting the blame onto the Young Master, not only failed to save himself but also dragged others down with him.

No matter how much a nobleman's Illegitimate Son is compared to a legitimate young master, even without the presence of the Du'en Family, on the surface, the Eldest Miss and the Eldest Young Master would not let go of Illegitimate Son illegitimate Young Master out to take the fall.

Wang kept his head down, his shoulders trembling slightly, as if he were afraid.

Bai Yang shook his head and clicked his tongue twice. This acting skill could hardly be considered the king of acting skills among Vest.

"It's me, I'm sorry." Wang didn't say much more and readily admitted his mistake.

The Eldest Young Master's expression softened somewhat, thinking to himself that he was good enough not to start a fight at the table and ruin their Family Clan's reputation.

"Since you were brought in by me, let him stay tonight and have him leave tomorrow. It's not good to leave someone of unknown origin here."

Qin Rang met the Eldest Young Master's gaze and readily agreed, "That's right, Eldest Young Master is kind."
