...
After the fire incident, on the sixth night.
The secret hall of the Eastern Alliance was crowded with figures.
The Alliance Hierarch Tian Fen, along with the first, second, and third deputies, all appeared, with dozens of elders with white hair, some standing, some sitting.
On the main seat, an old woman who had shriveled in form frowned as she listened to reports from those beside her, her eyes also filled with layers of puzzlement.
She murmured, "The fairy... from Xuanyuan Palace..."
The Alliance Hierarch Tian Fen sighed, "We also can't verify whether it was someone His Majesty sent."
"Is it not obvious? Why would His Majesty fuss over such trifles? It must be some noble who sent someone to deliver a message to Li Ping'an."
Tianli, the elder, picked up the tea, brought it to his lips, then tossed the teacup onto a side table, slapping his thigh as he stood up: "I'll go ask Ping'an!"
"Hey!"
The second deputy grabbed Tianli's arm and pressed him back into his seat.
