The moment Noah ran off, the atmosphere in the banquet hall instantly turned awkward.
Su Yaoyao watched Noah leave, her heart filled with worry and self-blame. An anxious feeling crawled through her. 'I seem to have deeply hurt Noah's sensitive, fragile heart yet again.'
Just then, Mingye keenly sensed Su Yaoyao's unease. He leaned in slightly and whispered in her ear, "Yaoyao, why don't you go check on Noah? His heart is probably a tangled mess right now. He must be in agony."
Su Yaoyao nodded without a second thought, her eyes filled with urgency. She quickly rose, walked over to the Sea Emperor, and curtsied slightly to excuse herself. "Her Majesty the Sea Emperor, I'd like to go check on Noah. May I?"
A smile touched the Sea Emperor's lips. This was precisely the effect she had so carefully orchestrated. She gave a slight nod of approval. "Go ahead, Holy Female. I hope you two can have a good talk and clear up any misunderstandings."
