"You're a phony! Where is the real Lady Lin's daughter!?" said Quan Huan Lan.

The mask girl said nothing and the crowd was whispering all kind of accusations.

"Wait.. So this girl is not the girl at the restaurant?" said a woman. "Or is the girl at the restaurant not Lady Lin's daughter?"

"Then who is she?" said another. "It's impossible. She looks exactly like Lady Lin."

"If she isn't that beauty, who is she?" said a man.

The crowd looks at the masked girl as their accusations go wild. Quan Huan Lan points at the mask girl smiling evilly.

"Prove it," the masked girl finally said.

The crowd goes quiet. Quan Huan Lan was surprised. The girl she saw in the room didn't seem like the strong type, nor the type to even talk in a situation like this.

"Well... She SOUNDS like the girl at the restaurant," whispered a man.

"Yeah, that's the same voice," said a woman.

Even Quan Huan Lans eyes widen from surprised. 'She didn't sound like that before!'

Footsteps could be heard in the distance and the whole Quan family rushed down to stop the commotion.

"We're sorry! She didn't mean that!" said Minister Quan, pushing Quan Huan Lan behind him. "She is just spouting nonsense, please don't mind her."

"Is it?" said Minister Dai's daughter. "I mean, she wears a mask all the time and it could be because she could have a replacement here so she can go out and destroy the empire."

Now everyone is thinking maybe that could be it. Minister Dai's daughter is a very jealous type and was still messing around with the Quan family. The masked girl looks over at her and she can see the playfulness in her eyes.

"That might be true.." said a minister.

"I heard she is a friend of the Prince of Wang," said another minister.

"Move!" said Quan Huan Lan. "if no one will back me up, I'l just rip that mask off of her myself!'

She pushed Chu Yang out of the way and ran up to the mask girl, ripping the mask off her face, pushing her during the process.

'Finally!!! Father can finally destroy her and I can get the handsome man!' thought Quan Huan Lan.

The girl was pushed back and Han Bingwen caught her, holding her tightly in his arms.

"Thanks, Bingwen," said the girl, looking at him sweetly, as she stood up facing the crowd. It really was Lin Yu Yan.

"It really is her!" said a woman.

"What!? How!?" said Quan Huan Lan, not knowing why this is not going her way. 'How!? Why is she not the other girl!?'

"Happy now?" said Lin Yu Yan, glaring at Quan Huan Lan and then at Minister Quan. "How rude! I was about to give gifts to all of the ministers as contribution for the peace treaty.. Too bad."

The ministers were surprised to hear that from Lin Yu Yan, especially from Lady Lin's daughter. But they were more surprised it really was Lady Lin's daughter.

"My god.. she looks exactly like Lady Lin.." said a Minister.

"It was supposed to be a gift for taking great care of my mother as well. I guess Longevity pills weren't worth it," said Lin Yu Yan, sighing in regret and looking at the old men in disappointment.

"Longevity Pills!?" said all the ministers. They all thought they heard wrong but Lin Yu yan's face didn;t change.

"Yes. After all, I was the one selling them here in the auction," Lin Yu Yan said. The room was now in shock as the whole place was panicking on the mistake they made towards Lin Yu Yan.

"And I can appoint to that," said an old man. You can tell the old man does a good job taking care of his body looking at how fierce his face expression and how well built his body is.

"Ah, Master Xiao," said Lin Yu Yan, smiling at the old man.

Master Xiao is the owner of the auction house and most of the auction houses in the Central Continent.

"Oh my god! What a mistake the Quan has done! Again!" said a man in the crowd, mockingly.

"Pwahaha! Of course it would be the Quan Family!" said a woman.

The daughters of Minister Quan has always humiliated the Quan family except for Quan Huan Lan... Until now. Quan Huan Lan's face turns red from embarrassment and anger.

"Still! It doesn't prove you were here the entire time!" said Quan Huan Lan. 'I won't give up! I will have that man!'

"Well.. I will appoint to that, then," said the Chu Emperor. A voice talked over the crowd and people moved out of the way to give the emperor space.

"What..?" said Quan Huan Lan. 'Why is the emperor here....? Why is he helping this woman?'

"Ah, Chu Emperor!" said a minister, bowing down. The rest followed and bowed, as well as the crowd. Lin Yu Yan and the others didn't.

Quan Jiang looked at the Emperor with puppy eyes to at least help her sister out but he looked away, a little disgusted.

Lin Yu Yan didn't think she will get help from the emperor was well. She looked at him straight in the eye and noticing he was looking at his sister before looking at Lin Yu Yan. She nodded at the emperor as well as the emperor nodding back to her.

"I was with her 10 minutes before the last Longevity pill was sold," said the Chu Emperor.

The crowd is now even more confused. "It's the emperor's word. It must be true," said a woman.

"But-" said Quan Huan Lan.

"Drop it," said a voice. It was Wang Ping this time, walking next to Minister Quan. "Unless you want your head cut off, I suggest you to keep quiet. Anything you say now will not work," said Wang Ping.

"..." Quan Huan Lan stood there with her head down.

"All good? Then I will take my leave," said Lin Yu Yan walking towards the entrance. The Quan family is blocking the entrance so Lin Yu Yan walked between Wang Ping and minister Quan. Before she left, she placed her hand on Minister Quan's should and whispered, "I better get compensation for this. I want that turtle by tomorrow. Or else."

Only Minister Quan felt the eyes of Lin Yu Yan and the anger of her for a split second. He shivered in fear as he watches the beautiful figure walk out of the auction house. The whole crowd watch the beauty gracefully walk away from the auction house in awe and in admiration.

"Follow them," said the Chu Emperor, whispering it to Hua Maoli. Hua Maoli nodded and walked away slowly without anyone noticing.

"Most people don't go against the Quan family, do they?" said a man, admiring Lin Yu Yan and her group.

"Hahaha! This is why none of them are married!" said a man.

Quan Jian Min heard it and turned to see the two men talking and glared at them to stay silent. The three daughters walked away in fury when they heard the men talk like that. Some of the audience watching chuckled quietly but because there were many doing it, it was loud and clear.

Quan Xue looked down, deeply remembering his love that disappeared, 'If only she was still here..'

Quan Wei-Kang clenched his fist and thought, 'I will soon.. Once I'm free from my father.'
