Tian Ningning was aware of his temperament and character.

Black had been lukewarm about his achievements, whether it was the disaster that struck Millstone Town or controlling the Class 3 abyss dimensional rift. He never stroked his own ego or allowed her to post articles in praise of him.

This showed how he was still the same person and was advancing with the same state of mind he always had.

In spite of his indifference, Tian Ningning could still see the same radiance that caught her eye and made her want to become his exclusive reporter in the first place.

In fact, the radiance had only burgeoned as he continued to grow.

Tian Ningning saw the middle-aged woman’s frown of sympathy and said, “If Black found out about this matter, he’d contact me. Sister Wang, I’ll go and see the editor-in-chief now.”

Tian Ningning walked to the editor-in-chief’s office and found her standing by the door.

Kong Qi caught sight of Tian Ningning and immediately said, “Tian Ningning, I’ve been waiting for you. Are you able to contact Black?”

Tian Ningning shook her head and replied, “I haven’t been able to contact Black, but I plan on asking my connections why so many young disciples of veteran and top factions are targeting Black.”

Kong Qi’s expression hardened, and she said, “Since you’re Black’s exclusive reporter, not being able to contact him at such a time is considered a failure. It’s no small matter that so many young disciples of veteran and top factions are going after Black on Star Web. Go now and immediately write a piece that will quell the issue. That should place a lid on things for now. Then, make sure you thoroughly interview Black the moment you’re able to contact him and get the full story on what is going on.”

Kong Qi could not help but think.

Lin Yuan was able to beat Meng Xu by barely lifting a finger. There has to be more than meets the eye to him than just raw power.

Today’s incident could be seen as either major or minor. From a minor perspective, it was just another debate on Star Web about two geniuses. But from a major perspective, it could be said that the young disciples of veteran and top factions were ganging up on Black.

Since they had chosen to make their stance public, these young disciples would never be willing to let the matter go unless a definitive conclusion was reached.

Moreover, Kong Qi realized that many young disciples of rising factions had also joined the smear campaign against Black as they wanted to use this method to curry favor with Lin Yuan. It was almost becoming a trend to bring Black down.

Kong Qi did not know what had happened between Lin Yuan and Black.

Tian Ningning immediately retorted, “It seems like the only way to quiet this matter down is for me to use Black’s name to announce that Lin Yuan is better. Right?”

Kong Qi was about to reply when Tian Ningning quickly continued. “From the moment I made the deal with Black, I promised that I would never release an article under his name without his knowledge. Not to mention that doing so would also be disadvantageous for Black’s image. You can’t fix things by force.

“Moreover, I don’t see how Black is any weaker than Lin Yuan. Lin Yuan is powerful but isn’t Black just as impressive? He saved Millstone Town and handled the Class 3 abyss dimensional rift. How can I solve the situation by just penning down a few words?

“Black has fought alongside Long Tao, Shi Xu, Fang Duoduo, Zhao Xiaochun, and the rest. Long Tao is from Coiling Dragon’s Valley. I’ll ask his exclusive reporter for details on the matter and see if he’ll help me to contact Long Tao.”

Kong Qi was bewildered by Tian Ningning’s outrageous words because she knew Tian Ningning to be a gentle person.

As stubborn as Tian Ningning was, she had never raised her voice at Kong Qi or her colleagues.

Yet now, Tian Ningning was yelling at Kong Qi with bloodshot eyes.

Kong Qi could clearly see Tian Ningning’s determination, and she knew that Tian Ningning would never write the article to placate the matter before she could get in contact with Black.

Luckily, Tian Ningning had also come up with a solution.

She was going to contact Long Tao’s exclusive reporter to understand the issue and to contact Long Tao.

Kong Qi did not force Tian Ningning and just said, “My suggestion was also in Black’s best interests. Once this matter blows up to a certain extent, not even a personal interview from Black will be able to fix everything. You have to be prepared.”

Kong Qi had been able to become the editor-in-chief of Star Web because she was extremely capable and always kept her eye on the big picture.

If this matter could be settled from the moment it arose and was treated like just another piece of passing news, some people might think that Black was self-admitting that he was weaker than Lin Yuan but just did not like to be compared to Lin Yuan.

But once it grew out of a certain proportion and Black admitted that he was weaker than Lin Yuan, he would be branded as feeble.

At that point, this matter would forever follow Black.

No matter what heroic act he performed in the future, he would forever be thought of as feeble and less than Lin Yuan.

Kong Qi did not want to see this happen because she genuinely respected this young hero. Thus, she planned on helping Black and Tian Ningning to the best of her ability.

“If this matter can’t be resolved, I’ll try to see if Star Tower will be able to organize a one-vs-one fight between Black and Lin Yuan.”

Tian Ningning’s eyes lit up, and she said, “Thank you!”

Kong Qi rolled her eyes and replied, “Don’t get ahead of yourself. Star Tower might not agree to my suggestion. Even if they do, Black or Lin Yuan might not accept.. But if the fight does happen, neither party will be affected too negatively even if they lose as long as they give it their all and put on a stunning performance.”
