The state banquet ended.
Everything that had happened before the banquet spread, shaking the court and the entire kingdom.
The return of the Azure Cloud Kingdom's First Supreme Elder, his slaying of an enemy assassin, and his expulsion of the Black Wind Demon King—his fame spread throughout the world!
For a time, the entire Azure Cloud Kingdom buzzed with talk of the First Supreme Elder's deeds.
Night fell. A bright moon hung high in the sky as a cool breeze rustled through.
Luo Tian and Li Yunxiu strolled through the Imperial Garden.
"You've changed so much every time we meet."
Li Yunxiu lamented.
She had always felt she knew Luo Tian intimately, yet she often found him shrouded in mist, unfathomable and impossible to truly see.
"You've changed a lot, too," Luo Tian remarked with a sigh.
After a few moments of small talk, Li Yunxiu asked gravely, "Brother Luo, do you know who sent the assassins?"
"Not yet, but I will find out."
Luo Tian's words left Li Yunxiu confused.
