"Ling, have you seen this painting before? Do you recognize its location?" Liao Ning asked, her anxiety evident.
Zhou Ling offered a comforting presence as he responded, "Don't worry. Let me take a look."
Zhou Ling had a recollection of this painting. He had encountered it at an art exhibition in the past. The artist behind it was renowned in both the alliance and the empire—Derlin. However, he held another identity as well. Derlin was the cousin of the empire's king and a charismatic figure known for his charm in the empire—Count G. Countless noble ladies within the empire were said to have fallen for him.
"I've seen this painting before. It was exhibited by the painter Delin. The artwork depicts a small resource planet located on the empire's southern border. In recent years, due to its unique scenery, the empire has transformed it into a tourist planet," Zhou Ling explained.
