Hearing Ji Yuan's words, Princess Xi lifted her hand lightly toward the void and said, "Lord Ji, no need to bow."
Upon hearing this, Ji Yuan stood, then strode to Princess Xi's side, half a step behind her, once again yielding the lead to Princess Xi.
Princess Xi saw his gesture; her beautiful eyes landed on Kou Yu, and she spoke directly: "Lord Kou."
"This time, on my visit, I've received your care. But now, Lord Ji and his people have arrived."
"For the rest of the journey, I have them to protect me; you need not trouble yourself further."
"If there are no other matters, you may leave."
Upon hearing Princess Xi, Kou Yu let out two light laughs.
He clasped his hands behind his back and said, "Princess, you don't really think, just because Ji Yuan showed up, you can rest easy, do you?"
"He is indeed Fifth Order. But... so am I."
"If you think you can scare me off relying on him alone, aren't you being too naive?"
