“Nothing truly escapes your eyes!”

The man lifted a corner of his lips and then raised his eyes up to look at her with an indiscernible smile. “That little one is really very interesting. Does Sovereign want to go have a look?”

“Ha.”

The woman scoffed softly, her eyes throwing him a glance that carried a hint of warning in them. “You’d better not play too much and end up impeding with what’s important.”

“I know my priorities.” Lian Shi replied with a faint smile. Suddenly seeming like he just thought of something, he then raised an eyebrow and said with a voice that hid an underlying meaning: “With the one in the Flame Devouring Ice Demon together with the little one I brought back, we’ve now gathered the people we need. Seeing that Sovereign is still not making any moves, I wonder if you have something ingenious up your sleeve or could it be….. you’re still waiting for some other important person to appear?”

The woman’s emotionless eyes glanced at him and it was quite a long while before her lips parted to say: “You know many things don’t you?”

“Hoho, if not, how am I qualified to continue to remain being the popular right hand man of Sovereign’s?”

Lian Shi shrugged his shoulders and then got up lazily from the soft lounge, his demeanor a little helpless. “It would be great if Sovereign would one day come to deem it fit to say a few more words to me. So beautiful but you’re so cold and aloof. It’s really hurtful!”

Upon saying that, the man’s tall figure that carried a nonchalant air then left from there without turning his head back even once. In a blink, the figure was suddenly a hundred meters’ distance away, and when one took another look, there was already no sign of him anywhere.

The woman on top of the raised pedestal stared outside the palace, at the empty space without the presence of a single person, and her silver eyes then seemed to flash with a strange glint for an instant.

On another side, at the intersecting borders of Cloud Heaven, the sky had already turned bright and sunny, and at the edge of the clouds, the faint and indistinct corner of the architecture building that had manifested earlier had now become clearer.

But the strange thing was that the building seemed like it was just an illusory mirage, indistinct and hazy to the eye, sometimes even disappearing from sight for a while before it would show itself once again, strange and one of a kind.

But that just made it feel even more mysterious and unfathomable, grabbing everyone’s attention.

“My Lord, someone wants to see you.”

A corner of the tent flap was lifted up and a disciple of the Dark Lands came walking in, a lean figured youth trailing just behind him. He was dressed in battle gear, his countenance gentle and exquisite, and it turned out he was Qing Bei who had not been seen for quite a long time.

Lou Jun Yao’s brows furrowed together subconsciously. “How did you manage to find your way here?”

“I am able to gain knowledge of anything I want to know naturally.”

Qing Bei did not bother with that displeased look on the man’s face and just went on ahead to walk inside to find himself a place to sit down, looking like he had no intentions of leaving from there.
