Inside the garden behind the Ice Phoenix Palace, Lan Bingxue soaked in the ice lake, meditating.
Suddenly, her eyes snapped open, and the surrounding snow froze in midair. She looked toward the portal behind the garden with a cold expression.
"It's actually true," Lan Bingxue murmured. "He could save her."
She stared at the portal for a long while before getting out of the lake and putting on a robe.
"Come in," she said.
Instantly, a woman clad in a blue robe walked over and bowed deeply. "Master."
"Prepare a banquet. We will receive our guests soon," Lan Bingxue said gently.
"Understood," the woman responded readily and prepared to leave.
"Right," Lan Bingxue stopped her and said, "Contact Qi Zongwen. Tell him the time has come. I allow you to use the grand formation."
"Understood, Master," the woman replied and left.
