'Damn that Yang Zhen!' Murong Zi mentally gnashed her teeth. 'Although this banquet is being held in the Imperial Palace, Prince Yun, Yang Zhen, was the one responsible for organizing it. No wonder the identity of this big shot from the Seven Profound Valley was kept under wraps before the banquet. That Yang Zhen probably threw his lot in with Ouyang Dihua long ago and took the initiative to help him gather beauties!'
Ouyang Dihua's arrival immediately drew the eyes of everyone present. Even the Emperor rose slightly and nodded in acknowledgment.
But Ouyang Dihua's gaze landed on Lin Ming first, a playful smile on his lips.
Lin Ming frowned slightly when he saw the look in Ouyang Dihua's eyes. It was clearly the look of an Upper Rank individual gazing upon a Lower Rank one, tinged with a faint sense of amusement and pity.
