Zi Yi looked in the direction of the hall after having heard that.

The Count and Ian were no longer around. Moreover, the other guests were not as merry as before. Everyone had lowered their voices considerably as they chatted.

Zi Yi took a look around and finally saw the Dou Family siblings standing on one side. She informed the Third Princess that she would be leaving and walked towards them.

"Cousin Zerui, Cousin Xiangling," Zi Yi called out to them. When they turned around, she asked, "What happened earlier on?"

Dou Xiangling said with a worried expression, "The Count suddenly lost consciousness and Ian brought him away."

Dou Xiangling originally wanted to tag along, but Ian had stopped her.

"Did they call a doctor?"

"Yes. The doctor said that it was because the Count was too exhausted recently which led to his whole body stiffening up. He only has to go back home and have a good rest."

"His whole body stiffened up?"

Zi Yi felt a strange feeling and asked her to tell her more. "Tell me about the reaction of the Count when he fell down. What I heard from others was that he lost consciousness immediately."

"He didn't lose consciousness. After he fell down, his whole body turned stiff and he was unable to talk."

Zi Yi furrowed her eyebrows.

Both of them saw her reaction and got nervous.

"Yiyi, are you thinking that it's not because the Count was too exhausted?"

"I can't confirm for the time being. I have to personally take a look."

Having said that, she turned to Lu Jingye who was standing near the King.

Lu Jingye unexpectedly sensed her gaze and tilted his head in her direction. Subsequently, he then looked away and said something to the King before he made his way over.

"Yiyi, is something the matter?"

"I want to check the real reason why the Count fell down."

She sensed that Dou Xiangling was very nervous and so, she said, "In any case, he's Cousin Xiangling's father-in-law and since we're here, we can't sit by idly."

The Dou Family siblings believed this, but Lu Jingye noticed that there was some hidden meaning behind her words and so, he nodded his head. "I'll go inform the King. The banquet has yet to end, so it's not good for us to leave halfway without notice."

"Mhmm."

Following that, Lu Jingye headed to where the King was.

Many of the male guests were currently standing near the King. As to what Lu Jingye said to the King, the three of them did not know. However, based on the King's expression, they could conclude that the King was a little displeased at first, but he ended up nodding with a smile. He even raised his hand and kindly patted Lu Jingye on his shoulders and said something to him.

Only then did Lu Jingye come back to Zi Yi and the rest.

"Let's go. I've already finished bidding farewell to the King for us all."

The three of them nodded their heads.

Just then, Lu Jingye looked at the hall and asked Dou Zerui, "Where's Qin Ze?"

"He was standing nearby just moments ago."

Dou Zerui started looking around. When he did not manage to spot Qin Ze, he found it strange. "Where did that brat run off to?"

Zi Yi also checked out the surroundings and said, "Little Loli is also missing. They should be together. We'll take our leave first and I'll tell Little Loli for both of them to leave later."

Zi Yi sent Little Loli a message and the group left in the direction of the gate.

The two princes and a few princesses sent them out together.

When they were heading toward the gate, the Third Princess extended an invitation to Zi Yi once again. "Miss Zi, M Medical University welcomes your visit. If you wish to make a trip over, you must give me a call in advance. My phone number is…"

Zi Yi remembered her number and nodded her head.

Prince Edward said to Lu Jingye, "Mr. Lu, I hope that you can stay in Country M longer. When the time comes, we can talk about Song Jewelry expanding here. I will strive to take over this project and you can rest assured that I will ensure the greatest convenience for you if we do end up working together."

Lu Jingye did not reply to him straightforwardly. He only said, "I will send someone to inspect the market when the time is right."

"Haha, sure. I will certainly give the management of Song Jewelry a warm welcome."

Dou Zerui who was walking beside them could not help but softly mutter, "Isn't this Prince Edward being too enthusiastic? Prince Justin, who is following next to him, doesn't even have a chance to speak."

Zi Yi looked at the two princes walking next to Lu Jingye and she said, "Isn't this normal? If everyone got a chance to perform, my Ah Jing would be exhausted."

Dou Zerui did not know whether to laugh or cry at this.

It just so happened that Zi Yi received Little Loli's reply.

Little Loli: [Sister, we are on the top floor of the palace. You guys can make a move first. I'll bring Brother Qin to look for you all later.]

After that message, Little Loli explained to her why they were on the rooftop.

[We followed someone up here. That person was so weird and he is also here on the rooftop. He seems to be waiting for someone.]

Zi Yi sent her a message. [Do a scan on the person and check if there are any toxins in his body that you are unable to analyze.]

Little Loli: [Yes, Sister!]

Zi Yi put away her phone and saw that Edward was still conversing with Lu Jingye. She called out to him, "Ah Jing, we should go now."

Lu Jingye nodded his head and said, "Goodbye."

Having said that, all four of them got in the car.

When the car drove out, Zi Yi informed the others. "Little Loli and Qin Ze will make their way to the Count's Mansion later."

"Where did they go?" Dou Zerui asked.

"The rooftop of the palace."

Dou Zerui and Dou Xiangling subconsciously looked at the rooftop of the palace.

The palace was too large and they could not see anyone standing there at all.

However, in a hidden corner of the rooftop, Little Loli and Qin Ze were squatting down and looking at the man who had been standing in front of them for quite some time.

Qin Ze felt his legs going numb from all the squatting and so he whispered to Little Loli, "Little Loli, do you think this person just came here to bask in the sun? Why do I feel that this is the case?"

Little Loli was currently scanning the man and she took some time out from her task to answer him, "He's not basking in the sun."

Having said that, she had already sent the results she obtained after scanning the man. "Based on my intuition, he's definitely waiting for someone."

Qin Ze looked at Little Loli brightly and asked, "Robots also have intuition?"

Little Loli was dissatisfied with his question. "What about robots that means we can't have intuition? I am a robot with artificial intelligence. Since I have artificial intelligence, what's wrong with having intuition?"

When Qin Ze saw how agitated Little Loli was, he touched his nose and hastily apologized. "Sorry, I shouldn't have asked that."

Only then was Little Loli satisfied.

Both of them continued waiting for some time and then they suddenly saw another person appearing out of thin air.

Qin Ze widened his eyes in surprise and he immediately grabbed Little Loli's hand warily. He then asked in a whisper, "Little Loli, is that person from the Worm Race?"

Little Loli looked at the man who had suddenly appeared a few seconds ago and said, "No, that's a robot."

She even said, "Even though that robot can also turn invisible, he's far inferior to me."

Qin Ze: "…"
