The affair concluded in a rather dramatic fashion. The one who had been slapped, Jiang Chengyun, ended up apologizing to Lin Xuan—a truly bizarre turn of events. Even Zi Yi hadn't anticipated this. She had thought the matter would escalate, but now it seemed the situation was completely under control.
"Miss Zi Yi, what was it you were talking about just now? Would you mind telling me?" Lin Xuan asked, looking at her.
"It's nothing major, really," Zi Yi explained simply. "The higher-ups have given specific instructions to maintain a good relationship with you. And as for me, thanks to my connection with Young Master Lin, I'm no longer the acting deputy, but the official Deputy Sub-Pavilion Master. That's the gist of it."
Zi Yi's explanation was just as Lin Xuan had expected, not deviating much from his predictions.
"I see. It seems I really am something of a lucky charm," Lin Xuan said with a faint smile.
