After being scolded again, Ye Xiao turned around and suddenly saw only an empty wall.

"Hiss, is there something dirty?"

"Who are you calling filthy?!"

The voice immediately exploded, "Boow your head, you rude bastard!"

Ye Xiao lowered his gaze and finally saw a petite girl standing behind him with her hands on her hips.

The girl wore a wine-red velvet aristocratic gown, resembling a tiny datura planted in the ground.

Her light golden curly hair was styled with a gothic-style top hat that hung down with a wisp of semi-transparent black veil, making her small face, which was no bigger than the palm of her hand, appear even more delicate.

The girl's emerald eyes were fixed on Ye Xiao. If it weren't for her puffed-up cheeks, which were quite expressive, one might mistake her for a large doll.

"Yo."

Ye Xiao's gaze swept over the petite, doll-like girl, and he couldn't help but curl his lips into a smirk.

Where did this little brat come from?

That's what he thought, but being cautious, he still kept an eye on things.

This noble manor is a melting pot of all sorts of people. Although he had never seen the girl in front of him before, he couldn't be sure that she might be some old monster who had a thing for youthful appearances. After all, he had seen similar people before.

So he didn't speak immediately, but first considered his tone, and then slowly and politely said, "Excuse me, I..."

"Who are you calling an old monster?!"

Unexpectedly, the girl's face turned bright red as soon as Ye Xiao finished speaking.

"Rude and disrespectful! You have no manners! If I don't teach you a lesson, you won't know what respect is!!"

"Huh? I didn't say you were..."

Before Ye Xiao could finish speaking, he saw a sharp light suddenly flash in the girl's emerald eyes.

Ye Xiao felt as if something had suddenly stabbed his head, and he staggered slightly.

But before he could realize what was happening, the small girl suddenly screamed and flew backward like a ball, crashing into the wall.

"no???"

Seeing this inexplicable scene, Ye Xiao was completely dumbfounded.

He hurried over with Raymond by his arm, only to find the girl lying unconscious on the ground, her eyes rolled back.

Chapter 126 Accidental Encounter

Holy crap, this is a staged accident?!

This was Ye Xiao's first thought.

Good heavens, he didn't do anything, but this little brat confused himself.

The problem is that this guy made a sound before he fainted, and now the servants who heard the noise immediately came over.

Then, all that was seen was a man carrying his drunken friend, cornering a poor, unconscious noblewoman against the wall.

Ye Xiao didn't even have a chance to argue before the servants pounced on him without saying a word and pinned him to the ground.

Of course, this was mainly because Ye Xiao considered things carefully in a moment of desperation and did not resist.

After all, this matter should be clear-cut. He's doing the right thing and has nothing to hide. But if he retaliates and fights with the Tyron family, then things will really get serious.

Poor Raymond's head swayed left and right amidst the chaos. Already feeling unwell, he finally couldn't help but open his jaw again.

Ye Xiao caught a glimpse of this scene out of the corner of his eye and his eyes widened in fury. He, who was usually calm and collected, screamed in terror as if he had seen a ghost.

"Oh no! Oh no! Don't vomit on me! Don't vomit on me!!!"

"vomit--"

The drunken Raymond didn't care about anything else; his stomach, reeking of alcohol, added to the already chaotic atmosphere.

……

The camera returns to the garden.

Miss Mofeng sipped her drink from the glass, looking rather bored.

"Hasn't Ansharp and the others returned yet?"

"The captain was probably too drunk, he didn't reply to my messages."

The mountains nearby were also unaware of the situation and could only speculate.

"Um……"

Miss Mofeng held the glass in both hands and swirled it around. Her gaze shifted to a group of people hurrying towards the mansion not far away. "Huh? Are those the Starweavers team members?"

"It seems so, why does he look so anxious?"

Dashan said carefully.

"Hey, you stay here with our Dark Shepherd friend, I'll go see what's going on."

Miss Mofeng, who always loved gossip, decisively abandoned the mountain and followed.

"But……"

Watching the girl skip away joyfully, honest Dashan could only shrug helplessly in the end.

The first floor of the Tyron Mansion was also open to guests at will, and Miss Mofeng quickly caught up with the players from the Starweaver team.

She didn't care about the other people on the road; she just needed to make sure those few players didn't notice she was following them.

Fortunately, this was not difficult for Miss Mo Feng, who was a company spy. After passing through the luxurious hall and turning several times in the maze of corridors, she soon arrived at the door of an unusually lively room.

A dozen or so guards from the Tyron family stood in the corridor, watching over the room, while several servants outside the door seemed to be talking about something.

The players of the Starweavers squad easily passed through the corridor after exchanging a few words with the guards, but Mo Feng couldn't just walk through so openly.

She leaned against the corner of the corridor, feeling a bit troubled—she was really curious as to why these Starweavers had suddenly rushed into the mansion in such a hurry.

However, at the same time, in the room guarded by the dozen or so family guards, Ye Xiao was sitting in a chair, surrounded by several players from the Star Weavers.

Ye Xiao was, after all, a guest of the company, so the servants of the Tyron family did not tie him up immediately.

They simply placed Ye Xiao under temporary house arrest in the room, reported the situation to the captain of the guards, and then notified the "victim girl's" companions to come and handle the situation.

The servants were quite cautious in handling matters at such a grand banquet, and they didn't go too far. If it turned out to be a misunderstanding, they would at least have room to apologize.

The guards treated Ye Xiao quite politely, so he was happy to wait for Ye Xiao's companions to come and clear up the misunderstanding.

However, to his utter surprise, the players from the Starweavers team were the ones who arrived last.

They weren't exactly enemies, but the moment they met, the air was thick with tension.

The players were mainly from the Starweaver team. When they opened the door and saw the drunk Raymond and Ye Xiao, their faces immediately fell.

Several of them rushed to the unconscious girl's side in a panic. The leader, a rather thin man, walked up to Ye Xiao and spoke aggressively.

"It's you guys again... Damn it, what did you do to Lord Astra!?"

"Ok?"

Ye Xiao didn't dwell on the other person's rude tone; what surprised him more was the form of address that came out of the other person's mouth.

Astra?

He was taken aback at first, and then, realizing what he had heard, he turned to look at the petite girl who was still unconscious beside him, and his lips twitched involuntarily.

"Huh? You mean this little potato is..."

"Watch your tone!"

The man's face was a mixture of anger and unease. He had a sharp, angular face and a high nose bridge, making him one of the more handsome players.

After interrupting Ye Xiao, he glanced at the drunken Raymond and his tone became increasingly agitated.

"Damn it, this guy is still sleeping!? How can he sleep after something like this happened??"

"Calm down, brother."

Seeing that the man seemed a little panicked about the situation, Ye Xiao tried to calm things down, "First of all, Raymond was just drunk, not asleep. Secondly... we really didn't do anything to this executive officer. God help me, I swear to God, she just fainted for no reason."

Do you think I'd believe your nonsense?

"Hey, we're all company employees, why would I bother with her if I had nothing better to do?"

Ye Xiao shrugged. "Besides, this is the Star Weaver. Even if I wanted to mess with her, I'd need the power, right?"

When Ye Xiao said this, he wasn't sure if the position of executive officer matched his strength, but logically speaking, someone who was second only to a god in the company couldn't be that weak.

Although in reality the executive girl just acted like a complete idiot, knocking herself unconscious, that was all Ye Xiao could guess.

"Ah."

The man snorted coldly, but he clearly understood the logic Ye Xiao was talking about. "Indeed, you two worthless fry can't even touch Lord Astra."

"Right, why don't we wait for her to wake up and ask her what's going on?"

"But I can hardly help but suspect that you might resort to some dirty tricks."

The man said in a deep voice, "The Guardian Moon Faction, having suffered a setback in the Western Frontier, is now trying to stir things up in this way. It's truly despicable."

"If you keep spouting nonsense, we can't talk anymore."

Ye Xiao was a seasoned rogue. Hearing this guy deliberately trying to smear him, he simply spread his hands and said, "So what do you want? This is someone else's banquet. If you can't stand it, then hit me."

Upon hearing this, the captain of the Tyron family's guards broke out in a cold sweat.

Although this should be a private matter for the Caesars company, the fact that these people are causing trouble here will definitely affect the atmosphere of the banquet.

When Duke Tyrann finds out, he will inevitably be punished for failing to control the situation.

"Gentlemen, it seems there might be some misunderstanding here. Why don't you all rest here for a while and wait for this lady to wake up before we talk about it again?"

"How can we wait? It's almost afternoon, and we have important matters to discuss with the Duke."

The man, somewhat agitated, grabbed Ye Xiao by the collar. "I don't care what you've been up to, just untie me now, understand?!"

His anxiety was not without reason. Their team needed one of the Starweaver's abilities to discuss matters with the Duke, but now the Executor was lying there, and their mission would fail once the allotted time was up.

"I've already said it's none of my business, why are you yelling so loudly? If you're so capable, go find the supervisor..."

But Ye Xiao was also a tough nut to crack. Since the other party wouldn't reason with him, he retaliated without any scruples.

Seeing the two start arguing again, the captain of the guard felt completely overwhelmed.

Amidst the chaos, unnoticed by anyone outside the window, a girl with orange-red hair quietly peeked half her head out from behind the lifted curtains.

Miss Maple peered out the window at the tense situation in the room, rubbed her chin, glanced at Astra lying in the corner, and her clever little brain immediately came up with a brilliant idea.

Chapter 127 A Brilliant Plan

Ye Xiao and the Starweaver team argued for a long time, but neither side would give in, and they were unable to reach a conclusion.

Despite facing four opponents, Ye Xiao held his own even when taking on four opponents at once.

"enough!"

The thin captain could no longer bear it. Seeing that he couldn't win an argument with words, he simply waved his hand and ordered his team members to swarm forward.

"Drag this guy away!"

"Calm down, sir!"

Seeing the situation escalate, the captain of the guard rushed forward to stop it.

"This is none of your business; it's an internal company matter!"

"But……"

“He’s right, there’s no need to stop him.”

Ye Xiao pulled a semi-transparent object directly from his pocket. "Here, let him come. Everyone from the Tyron family can be my witnesses. Make sure you all see that they attacked first."

"You idiot, you even carry a recording crystal with you all the time?!"

If this hadn't been premeditated, the captain of the Starweaver squad would have sworn he'd eat his own musket.

But now he was really hesitant to act rashly. Looking at Ye Xiao's shameless appearance, he suspected that if he dared to take action, this guy might even shamelessly break the window and shout, causing chaos at the banquet... which would be a loss of face for the entire company.
