As soon as he stepped through the door, Ye Ling was taken aback by the sight of Shen Mengyao, with her twin ponytails and red dress.
He never expected that Shen Mengyao would be the Young Lady of the Sky Universe Pavilion.
Judging by the situation, it seemed he was invited back entirely because of her presence.
While Ye Ling was still in a daze, Shen Mengyao eagerly stood up and said, “Ye Ling, come in quickly, let me have a good look at you.”
Hearing this, Ye Ling was a bit puzzled. How did Shen Mengyao know him?
He only knew Shen Mengyao’s name because of the True Eye.
Now, the fact that she could call out his name so easily was certainly strange.
However, since he was already here, Ye Ling wasn’t worried about her causing any trouble for him.
He walked in and casually closed the door behind him.
“I didn’t expect it, Ye Ling, you’re even more handsome than in the photos.”
The room suddenly fell into an eerie silence, without a sound.
When Shen Mengyao said this, Manager Zhao, who was standing respectfully to the side, was instantly stunned.
He never imagined that his Young Lady would say something so bold.
“This… Young Lady…”
In this situation, he felt it necessary to remind her, so he whispered softly.
Hearing the reminder, Shen Mengyao realized she had spoken her thoughts out loud.
How could she have said what she was thinking?!
Shen Mengyao blushed, but fortunately, as the Young Lady of the Shen family, she was quite adept at controlling her emotions.
She only blushed for a moment before quickly regaining her composure.
Clearing her throat, Shen Mengyao calmed herself and said, “Ye Ling, it was Manager Zhao who acted improperly before and caused you trouble. Please don’t mind.”
As the owner of the Sky Universe Pavilion, she naturally felt it was necessary to apologize for what happened.
Manager Zhao, standing nearby, once again bowed his head in shame.
Could he blame anyone else for this? It was entirely his fault.
Since she had already apologized, and now the Young Lady of the Sky Universe Pavilion was personally apologizing, Ye Ling certainly wouldn’t treat Shen Mengyao the same way he had treated Manager Zhao earlier.
Nodding slightly, Ye Ling replied with neither humility nor arrogance, “Young Lady, you’re too kind. Since it’s all in the past, let’s forget about it. By the way, may I ask how you know my name?”
Ye Ling was very curious about how Shen Mengyao knew him.
He had just returned from the Secret Realm and hadn’t checked the Vermilion Bird Academy’s website or anything, so he had no idea what had happened.
He was completely unaware of how famous he had become at the academy.
Any news about him would likely appear on the academy’s website immediately.
When Ye Ling addressed her as Young Lady, Shen Mengyao realized she hadn’t introduced herself yet.
With an apologetic smile, Shen Mengyao began to introduce herself, “Ye Ling, I’m Shen Mengyao, like you, a student at Vermilion Bird Academy, but I’m in the third year.
As for how I know your name? Don’t you pay attention to the academy’s news? You’re quite the celebrity at our academy now.
No, actually, you’re a celebrity in the entire Sacred City.
While not everyone may recognize you, as soon as your name is mentioned, everyone knows who you are.”
Seeing Shen Mengyao’s serious expression, Ye Ling could already guess why he was so well-known.
Aside from being the first male student in the history of Vermilion Bird Academy, what else could it be?
Anyway, Ye Ling felt it wasn’t a good reputation.
Since she had revealed her identity as his senior, Ye Ling decided to play along.
“Then… Senior Shen, is it alright if I call you that?”
Upon hearing this, Shen Mengyao immediately waved her hand with a displeased expression.
“Hmph! What’s with this ‘senior’ business? If we stood together, people would probably think I’m your younger sister, don’t you think?”
As she spoke, Shen Mengyao glanced at Manager Zhao, as if seeking his opinion.
However, there was a hint of menace in her eyes, making Manager Zhao’s heart skip a beat.
He knew this was his Young Lady’s hint to him. If he didn’t say something that satisfied her, he wouldn’t have a good time.
A seasoned old hand should know how to play along.
“Yes, yes, the Young Lady is right. When you two stand together, Young Master Ye, you look more like the older brother.”
After saying this, Manager Zhao immediately shut his mouth, not daring to say another word.
Saying too much would be a mistake, so it was better to say less.
