Loranhill and Aitesi sat on the roof for a long time, talking about the differences between the Eastern and Western continents, before they reluctantly parted.
For Aitesi, although there are some people of the same tribe here, they are either too respectful to her or they don't have much to talk about. Now she has found someone with whom she can relax and chat, and she doesn't have to worry about the other person not being able to keep up with her thoughts. She can talk about all kinds of things from all over the world.
Why does this Miss Lacey seem even more knowledgeable than an elf like me? She only looks about 17, and even if she appears younger, she's probably only around 20. She seems quite impressive. After Loran Hill left, Etesi continued to sit in the rooftop garden, watching the slowly setting sun in the distance and the golden sunset glow.
As time passed, an elf with ice-blue hair came up. She was the elf maid who had brought juice to the two of them before. However, this girl had changed her clothes and her temperament was completely different.
"Sister Irene is here too." Aitesi waved when she saw her.
This elf with ice-blue hair is dressed in gorgeous clothes and has an elegant figure, just like a real elf princess. In fact, her status is indeed not low.
"Well, there's a banquet in the city later, and the Yonglei Mansion has sent an invitation." After sitting down, Irene also looked up at the purple-red sunset in the distance. Her graceful neck was coated in a hazy and dreamy golden color in the twilight.
Compared to Aitesi, Irene looks more mature and looks like a 24-year-old human.
"So soon? It seems that Yanxingmen came here for something." Aitesi stretched, and her beautiful waist curve was clearly visible.
"Just stay in the store and don't go out, otherwise your identity will be exposed. After all, the route is cut off now, and the Emerald Forest can't provide support and protection." Irene looked at the elf girl who stretched her calves.
"I understand, Sister Irene." Atesi agreed and leaned on Irene's shoulder.
"Sister Irene has been here for a long time, and this is the first time I've seen an ice elf."
"It's been a few years, and now I'm slowly getting used to it."
"Aren't you going back? I heard that the northern continent is now the home of the ice elves." Aitesi held up Irene's ice-blue hair with her hands, looked at it in her palm, and then picked up a strand of her own blonde hair, comparing them with each other.
"My hometown isn't necessarily good either. Sometimes I have to care about what the people around me think. It's not as comfortable as here." Irene shook her head.
"Oh, really? I heard from Palensha that Sister Irene is from a great noble family among the ice elves. Now that she occasionally works as a maid, doesn't she feel bad?"
"Why should I feel bad? It's just work. Besides, isn't it something to be proud of to earn some pocket money?" Irene stroked the hair beside her ear with her hand.
"But you, a serious princess, are having fun every day. How are you going to support yourself in the future?"
"I don't have to worry about that. Mother will reimburse me as long as I go home. My sisters love me the most." Aitesi said with a smile.
"Besides, there is still the future. It's easy to earn some pocket money if I want to. Don't judge me so rigidly." Atesi's calves in white stockings swayed slightly in the air. She pressed her hands under her thighs and looked sideways at Irene beside her.
The two talked in this way in the sunset glow. After a while, seeing that the sky had turned deep purple, Irene stood up.
"Then I'm going to the banquet first, you stay in the store."
Then, the ice elf in gorgeous attire walked down the stairs and headed outside the store, where a carriage was already waiting.

That night, Loran Hill returned to his residence and rested for a while. The official residence of the Yonglei Mansion in the city was bustling with activity. Representatives from many nearby factions, both large and small, had been invited, along with several other prominent figures from the city, including the ice elf Aelin.
Unlike Western banquets, there are no dancing activities in Eastern banquets. Instead, a few tables are set up, and dancers and musicians from nearby music halls are invited to perform some entertainment at the banquet table below.
When Irene sat there, she saw several guests from Yanxing Gate sitting at the top.
"Lin Zhizhou, I haven't seen you for many years. How have you been lately..." A man in his forties warmly greeted the Yanxing Sect representative next to him. He was a high-ranking steward of the Yonglei Mansion.
"No need to be so polite, Lord Lei..." The man surnamed Lin was probably in his thirties and seemed not to be interested in these polite words.
Several people talked about the past and some recent strange things.
"According to you, your sect wants to establish branches in the seven continents of Lei?" It was only in the second half of the banquet that the steward of Yonglei Mansion gradually figured out the purpose of this representative's visit.
"Yes, and I also hope to get support from all local parties..." The representative drank the wine in his glass and then started to talk about business.
Irene listened quietly in the crowd below, and only then did she understand what the representative of Yanxing Sect meant.
This likely meant that the Yanxing Sect would establish branches in the Seven Continents of Lei, and they had informed the local factions in advance. This might seem insignificant, but it held a different significance. Originally, there were no Shangmen sects in the Seven Continents of Lei (the Chixian Sect had lost this status for centuries), and the three factions and Yonglei Mansion had divided up most of the people and talent within the region.
However, if the Yanxing Sect established a branch here, many outstanding newcomers would definitely choose to join the Yanxing Sect instead of other sects. After all, the resources, talents, power, and cultivation methods offered by the sect would surpass those of ordinary factions.
In this way, outstanding talents were harvested. In the new era, without fresh blood and talents to pave the way, the other three factions of the Seven Continents of Lei may gradually decline.
