Chapter Eighty-Five: Who Is It?

iolently.His remorse and demeanor moved many officials from the Xiao family's faction. They came forward one after another to speak up for the Xiao family. They generally said that this matter was me...No matter how good-tempered someone is, they wouldn't be happy to be blamed out of the blue. Yin Qi was no exception. His face immediately darkened, and he replied coldly, "No."

He only said two words. In his view, someone who attacks on sight wasn't worthy of further explanation. Moreover, the Heavenly Mechanism Ring that had tormented him for years and nearly turned him into a cripple was created by the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion. Therefore, he couldn't bring himself to treat their people well.

As the current Left Minister, he couldn't possibly tolerate a stranger, let alone a young master, insulting him in front of everyone. However, out of courtesy, he couldn't stoop to berating a young master back either.

The young master was stunned, then upon hearing kind people around him reminding him that this man was the current Minister of the Left, he immediately flushed red. When looking at Yin Qi, he had a few hints of shyness, but he didn't lower his face to apologize.

"Who dared to challenge my Tianji Pavilion Come out if you have the guts!" Yun Tianqing crossed his arms and roared at the crowd in front of the pavilion.

Everyone looked around, observing those present, as if trying to figure out who dared to defy the world so boldly.

"It seems the challenger is afraid to come. Otherwise, how could it be this..." Wu Chi was drinking tea, a regretful expression on his face, but before he could finish his words, Qin Luo'yan standing beside him stood up. He was startled, "Wuhen brother, what are you..."

Qin Luoyan arched her hand towards him in greeting, then without explanation, walked into Feng Yiting. When she reached Yun Tianqing's presence, Wu Chi only just came to his senses, pointing at him dumbfounded, unable to utter a word, "You... you are..."

"I, am the one who challenges your Tianji Pavilion." Qin Luoyan said calmly.

When she appeared, the crowd watching buzzed with excitement. Who could have imagined that the person daring to challenge Tiangji Pavilion would be such a young master Many began shaking their heads, believing Qin Luoyan was more likely seeking attention than possessing true skill.

Only Yin Qi, when he saw Qin Luoyan walk out, a flash of surprise in his eyes, then immediately relieved. After all, in his view, the person who could easily unravel the Heavenly Machine Ring was indeed qualified to challenge those from the Heavenly Machine Pavilion. Her appearance should have been unexpected, yet it was also logical.

"Master Yin, do you know this person" The Buddhist master sat beside Yin Qi, observing the changes in his expression.

Yin Qi nodded. "We've met a few times."

"And what does Master Yin think of the outcome of this contest" the Buddhist master asked again.

Yin Qi smiled faintly, "If the head of Tiangji Pavilion came to compete, then the outcome would be hard to say. However, if it's just a young master coming out to compete, then this official here, who is well-acquainted with him, should be able to win."

"To be admired by Lord Zuo Xiang, this person's ability must be extraordinary. Then I can only wait and see." The Buddhist master twirled the beads in his hand, a smile on his face that held a hint of profound mystery.

The crowd, however, lacked Yin Qi's insight. Seeing only a young master standing up, they began to complain incessantly. A few even egged each other on, spewing insults.

Even the man standing behind Yun Tianqing furrowed his brows imperceptibly. Perhaps, he hadn't expected that the person who made such a daring move was younger than himself.

Qin Luo yan didn't care, she just politely bowed to Yun Tianqing, "May I ask what your position is in the Tiangji Pavilion Can you truly represent the Tiangji Pavilion"

"Hmph! Could it be that I'm an imposter after all" Yun Tianqing took out a token from his bosom and held it high. The token was engraved with the words "Tianji Pavilion," the most convincing evidence of his identity.

A gasp of astonishment rippled through the crowd. After all, most of them had bet on the victory of Tiangjige, so seeing the people from Tiangjige arrive in person was naturally cause for excitement.

"That's good then." Qin Luoyan put down her hand and asked again, "Since the challenge was issued by me, if I set the rules, it wouldn't be fair. I don't want to win unfairly, so how about letting this young master decide the rules for the competition"

“Shall I set the rules” Yun Tianqing was taken aback. This seemed fair, but it was also a dilemma for her. If she set the rules too favorably for herself, even if she won, it wouldn’t look good if it got out. But if she let the other party set the rules, then she would really be falling into their trap. It was a difficult choice either way.

She was filled with anger, feeling that this person before her was truly cunning and deceitful. She couldn't help but glance at the man beside her, only to see him subtly shift his gaze to Yin Qi and the Buddhist master sitting nearby.

Yun Tianqing was also an energetic person, immediately understanding his meaning. She walked over and stood before Yin Qi, saying: "Since Lord Yin is fortunate enough to be here today, for fairness' sake, please have Lord Yin take the role of question-setter. If I fail to answer, then say that the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion is bullying others."

"I'm just here for the fun, I don't want to get involved." Yin Qi frowned and refused without hesitation.

Yun Tianqing, upon hearing this, seemed to have lost some face. She wanted to get angry but felt that the other party's status was very high and not someone she could casually deal with, so she had no choice but to grit her teeth and endure it. She then went to ask the Buddhist master again.

The Buddhist master was originally an acquaintance of Yin Qi. Seeing that Yin Qi wasn't involved in this matter, he had no intention of participating either.

Two people of standing in the enclosure all said they wouldn't participate, yet they wanted Yun Tianqing to swallow this durian

If someone else were here, they might be delighted by this situation. But for Qin Luoyan, it wasn't enough. She proactively walked up to Yin Qi and bowed respectfully, "Since the Left相大人 is here to enjoy the show, he should make sure it's a good one. If Lord Yin wants to see a perfect play, why not stand out and give us a challenge After all, those who watch a play should contribute something as well."

Such persuasion, Yin Qi had not yet opened his mouth to answer, but Yun Tianqing shamelessly twitched his lips, "I really don't know the heights of heaven and earth, even I can't invite..."

Before she could finish her words, a deep and husky voice came from Yin Qi.

Yin Qi only said one word, saying: "Good."

If she asked him for help, he would naturally not refuse.

"Then, I'll leave this to Lord Zuo. I am truly grateful." Qin Luoyan bowed politely and gracefully.

This scene was a slap in the face for Yun Tianqing, a direct hit before the competition even began. Her spirit was crushed by the sheer momentum. She glared at Qin Luoyan, finding this person even more loathsome.

The man standing behind her couldn't help but frown. He originally thought this was just a young boy and hadn't taken him seriously, but now looking at Master Yin's attitude...
