Wangshu flew like the wind back to the Heavenly Realm. Instead of returning to Fuxi Palace, he headed straight to Shuiran Palace.
Having seen the heavenly steed at the Shuiran Palace countless times, the palace guards naturally recognized Xie Jianyu's favorite mount. That was why, before Wangshu even landed on the ground, they noticed that something was amiss this time around.
Wangshu was not only alone but also extremely forceful. The friendly heavenly steed habitually stopped at the palace entrance to greet the guards. This time he flew directly into the courtyard. Not only that, he even tried to barge his way into the palace. It took the combined force of ten guards to subdue him.
Eventually, the loud noises prompted Jiang Rufeng and Xie Jianshen to step out of the palace and take a look.
Xie Jianshen was baffled to see Wangshu in an agitated state. The heavenly steed neighed in distress when he caught sight of Xie Jianshen.
