Meng Fusheng and gang disguised themselves as the soldiers delivering the gold and took the opportunity to meet up with Ji Fengyan when they arrived at the Kingdom of Sa Er.
However, Xing Hun remained cautious and had them leave the next day. He obviously still had his reservations against Ji Fengyan.
Ji Fengyan did not mind Xing Hun's actions and did not resist. She was extremely compliant, which gradually lowered Xing Hun's guard against her.
With abundant wealth, the construction of the stargazing pagodas sped up. They sprouted up one by one in the Kingdom of Sa Er. Ji Fengyan could distinctly detect a strange energy suddenly permeating the air here.
Xing Hun sought Ji Fengyan after the completion of the eleventh pagoda.
"Queen." Xing Hun came before Ji Fengyan in his poised manner. His soul might be tainted, but his pristine appearance remained ever-so-pleasing to the eye.
"Lord Grand Tutor." Ji Fengyan got up with a smile at Xing Hun.
