Shen Rongrong shrank her neck; she hadn't given this matter much thought.

After all, she's already caught up with us, so whether she goes back or not, it's all the same.

However, Leng Feiran finally made her move.

She sent a delegation, which arrived at the Imperial Island five days later.

The envoy was none other than Huang Lixing.

After more than a year apart, Huang Lixing was almost unrecognizable.

She carried the Shadow Sword on her back and sported the hairstyle that Lin Qingyu used to like, resembling a female knight-errant.

After arriving at the Imperial Island, Huang Lixing did not rush to see Yue Qingling.

She waited politely in the embassy, ​​her first step being to meet Empress Bai Ying.

"Yue Qingling, you're such a bastard, you know that? Can't you manage your own woman?"

Why do you want me to see you?

Bai Ying, dressed in a dragon robe, complained incessantly to Yue Qingling in a side room behind the imperial court.

Yue Qingling explained, "They are envoys from the Dragon Saint Kingdom, here to seek an alliance. They need to see you first. This is official business for me."

"Public my ass! In the end, aren't we both your people?"

"Hmph, let me make this clear beforehand: I don't care about the Eastern Continent, but she'll be ranked fourth in the Southern Continent."

Bai Ying went to the court in a bad mood.

Yue Qingling secretly observed from behind.

You can see that Huang Lixing's behavior has become very polite. The willful and timid senior sister of Lingjing Sect has now become calm and composed.

He stared at Huang Lixing, lost in thought.

After nearly a year apart, he saw his old friends from Dongzhou once again.

Memories of the past surged through his mind like a tide.

But this time, he wasn't so afraid.

His strength brought him dignity and peace of mind.

Yue Qingling knew it was time for him to confront his complicated relationship.

"Your subject Huang Lixing pays respects to Her Majesty the Empress."
