After the empress left, Loulan Xue remained in her spot, staring at her back. They hadn't seen each other in years. Would she just leave after scolding her?
"Loulan, don't think too much. It's not how you think," Ye Futian said. "The Empress isn't as heartless as you think. She did all that for you."
Loulan Xue froze and looked at Ye Futian with her silver eyes. For her?
"I've truly been ordering you around these years and I've gotten used to it. I'm sorry. If you want to leave some day, you don't have to worry about me." Ye Futian sighed and turned to leave. He knew how calculating the Empress was. He could obviously see through her intentions.
The Empress had already planned to make him feel guilty about Loulan Xue so he would treat her well. She wanted Loulan Xue to keep journeying with Ye Futian. This way, she could see a bigger world. Her current cultivation plane was catching up to the Empress.
