Chapter 1238 - The Gathering of the Kingdoms (2) (1/2)

Mai Ya looked at Ji Fengyan with an unconvinced expression. She glanced guardedly at the Sacred Dragon Emperor now and then, afraid that he would suddenly make trouble for Ji Fengyan.

Long Xi was also very amused by Mai Ya’s expression. Nevertheless, he remembered that he bore the appearance of the Sacred Dragon Emperor, and held back his laughter.

“That’s right, we have resolved the grudge between the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon and Ji Fengyan. There will not be any more ill-feelings between us in the future.”

Of course things had been resolved. That Sacred Dragon Emperor had been personally chopped down by Ji Fengyan. His corpse was already in pieces.

Seeing the cordial interaction between Ji Fengyan and that “Sacred Dragon Emperor”, Mai Ya gradually relaxed. Nevertheless, she maintained a slightly suspicious expression whenever she looked at Long Xi.

“Time is getting on. We should enter the palace soon. We will look bad in front of the Divine Temple if we are late.” Mai Ya urged.

Ji Fengyan nodded as she threw a discreet glance at Long Xi, who looked rather solemn. He gazed at the entrance of the palace with an extremely conflicted expression.

“Let’s go,” Ji Fengyan said in a soft voice.

Long Xi snapped out of his reverie. He quickly lowered his eyes as if he realized his own abnormal behavior.

The usually heavily guarded Sa Er palace had its door wide open today. A team of soldiers stood guard outside, watching as the rulers of the various nations stepped in.

Emotions still in a flux, Long Xi followed Ji Fengyan and Mai Ya into this place, which was ever-so-familiar to him. Every blade of gra.s.s and piece of wood was as he remembered. But… Long Xi noticed that the patrolling guards within the palace had all been replaced. Even the guard outside the main gates was a stranger to Long Xi.

“Before you departed, the people left behind in the Kingdom of Sa Er delivered some news to me.” Ji Fengyan continued walking with a neutral expression. However, her voice drifted discreetly into Long Xi’s ears.
