Perhaps it was the scrutinizing glances from the surrounding gods "with no good intentions," coupled with the "silent reprimand" from his own wife, Empress Shangguan Linlang, that made the CEO of Demon City, Xuanyuan Wuji—also known as the National Master Yuqing, who had already "usurped control" of the body—somewhat unable to bear it any longer.
The National Master coughed lightly, then spoke up again, trying to salvage the situation and even more so to rescue his own image, ah, ah, ah.
Yu Qing explained to Empress Shangguan Linlang, "But this fragrance pouch must have a significant connection to why you cannot recognize Nangong Xingchen now. After all, the one who first entered the Crystal Palace and faced you was a man in black. You also said earlier that the scent on him was the same as the fragrance pouch. Moreover, this is the long-lost Soul-Capturing Incense, Linda, you must be familiar with this item."
