The two exchanged a glance and then smiled slightly.

The threads of affection are countless, and it seems they can never be severed.

The Third Elder entered the living room, first bowed to Li Wan, and then handed her a bag.

He said respectfully, "His Majesty instructed that there is a letter from His Majesty to the Queen in the baggage, and also... uh..."

He glanced at Yue Qingling, unsure whether he should speak.

Li Wan smiled and asked, "Do you also have Brother Yue's letter of recommendation for going to Nanzhou?"

The Third Elder chuckled and said, "His Majesty means that the Queen should make the decision."

Guo Feng's meaning was clear: he wanted Li Wan to decide whether Yue Qingling could leave.

Guo Feng was unaware of the family's situation, so handing the decision over to Li Wan was indeed a wise choice.

Li Wan glanced at Yue Qingling, who was looking at her anxiously.

Clearly, Yue Qingling desperately wanted to leave.

Li Wan instantly became unhappy and glared at Yue Qingling.

What an ingrate!

You ate my food, drank my drinks, slept in my bed, and now you're in such a hurry to leave?

Couldn't you have at least tried to cover it up?

But she suppressed her anger and politely inquired about the Third Elder's situation.

The Third Elder gave a detailed report on Guo Feng's actions.

Yue Qingling listened attentively.

Based on what the Third Elder said, Yue Qingling knew that Guo Feng was not having a smooth time in Beizhou.

The court of the Fire Phoenix Kingdom is in chaos, and the sects of the Northern Continent are fighting each other. It will be a long time before the Northern Continent is united.

Guo Feng then planned to stay in the Northern Continent for a while to see how things were going and if there was an opportunity to intervene and help the Northern Continent unite before heading to the Eastern Continent.

He simply couldn't take care of things at home.
