"She has powerful backers?"
Jiang Yi's brows knotted. He had already categorized Xuanyuan Lingyan as someone that he wanted to stay as far away as possible. He utterly disliked ladies that were cold, arrogant, and had status and wealth. If he could, he would try his best to avoid contact with Xuanyuan Lingyan.
Lord Ba, however, did not seem to mind at all. He looked on as Xuanyuan Lingyan left and then chatted idly with Jiang Yi for a few moments, praising him. He seemed to just want to commend Jiang Yi as a capable man that had a bright future. Jiang Yi was helpless and could only banter with Lord Ba for a while. He was grimacing internally, however. If Jiang Xiaonu had not appeared, Lord Ba would probably not even look him directly in the eye, right? However, this world was that practical and materialistic; Jiang Yi had long gotten used to it.
