Irritated by being disturbed, he interrupted her. “This is not within my jurisdiction. My task was just to give you the mission.”
Ji Ziyin clenched her fists tightly.
The other party was annoyed upon seeing that she was still not leaving. He stopped what he was doing and said to her, “You don’t have to wait. She won’t co today.”
Ji Ziyin looked at him. “But the Privy Council has stipulated that we are to take the mission today.”
The other party seed to find her words ridiculous. He sneered, thinking he might as well be direct with her. “How would I know? Elder Xue ca to this morning to get the mission and said that he would personally send it to her. If you are dissatisfied, you can also get Elder Leo to receive the mission for you.”
The Privy Council was well-defined.
They did not have a single faction. Not being from the sa faction, he did not give Leonard any face at all.
To soone like Ji Ziyin who got in through the back door, he mocked her rcilessly.
Ji Ziyin’s face gradually turned pale as if a basin of cold water had been poured on her head. She clenched the paper detailing the mission tightly and turned to leave without saying another word.
The other party did not care. Before she walked far, she could still hear the other party’s voice.
“She only entered the Privy Council because of Elder Leo. What’s there to be arrogant about?”
“Elder Leo doesn’t take her seriously, and she blas ?”
Ji Ziyin pursed her lips tightly and walked even faster.
She had not gone far when she ran into Leonard and the others walking toward her.
“You—” Leonard waved at her. “Why are you here? Co here.”
Ji Ziyin thought of the humiliation she had just suffered. Seeing the hooked-nosed elder, she pursed her lips and walked over calmly. She greeted him as politely as before. “Elder Leo.”
“Mm.” Leonard nodded nonchalantly. He turned and said to the others, “You guys go on. I’ll talk to her alone.”
The other mbers of the Radical Faction were not in the mood to entertain Ji Ziyin. All of them left without looking back.
In the blink of an eye, only Leonard and her were left in the corridor.
The hooked-nosed elder did not even look at her as he asked in a businesslike manner, “Did you get the mission?”
Ji Ziyin lowered her eyelashes, and the thorn in her heart burned even hotter.
“I got it.”
“Oh alright, as long as you have it,” Leonard said, still not looking at her. “The Empress just called and asked about you.”
Ji Ziyin suddenly raised her head, and her eyes lit up.
“The Empress asked about your mission. I was going to look for you if we did not bump into each other here.”
If he had not just received Shadow’s call and the other party had not ntioned Ji Ziyin, he would have forgotten that there was such a newcor in the Privy Council.
However, Ji Ziyin was soone they aggressively got in, so she could be considered a mber of their faction.
Regardless of whether it was out of interest or out of pride, he had to show so concern for her.
Hence, Leonard asked her about the mission. Ji Ziyin answered his questions one by one. He frowned slightly when he heard that Qiao Nian did not co today.
His expression turned surprised when Ji Ziyin vaguely ntioned that Elder Xue had specially gone to get the mission for Qiao Nian. Then, his mouth curled up in disdain, as if he despised the other party for rushing to please a newbie.
“He just wants to curry favor with the Ji family.”
Ji Ziyin ntioned this to test Leonard’s attitude. She was satisfied with the hooked-nosed elder’s show of disdain..
