Back then, General Xuan Zhong had gone to Ling City to aid in eliminating Evil. After Evil was destroyed by the Mysterious Person, he returned to the royal capital to report.
Queen Nangong Linning was overjoyed upon hearing the report and once again sent people to Ling City, determined to find that person.
But Chi Yu and the other two had long since entered the Azure Dao Domain. How could they possibly find them?
Even if they were not in the Azure Dao Domain, beings of such supreme cultivation were not people ordinary men could come into contact with.
After making inquiries in many places to no avail, they returned to the royal capital.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Lord Fu and the others who went to Ling City have returned. They are currently waiting outside the palace for an audience."
"Oh? Summon them at once."
"By your command!"
A moment later, three figures clad in official robes entered the hall.
"We pay our respects to Your Majesty!"
"Rise!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Did you find that person?" Nangong Linning asked impatiently.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, we searched all of Ling City and made inquiries everywhere, but found nothing."
Hearing this, Nangong Linning returned to her throne in considerable disappointment.
"Alas... forget it. Such supreme experts come and go like ghosts. They are not people you can find simply by looking."
"You may leave!"
"We take our leave!"
At dusk, inside the Bedroom Palace.
Nangong Linning gazed out the window and murmured, "Yang Yi, I wonder where you are. We have not met for many years. Are you well now?"
She wore a translucent white gauze dress that faintly revealed her perfect figure, yet from behind, she looked rather lonely and desolate.
She was at the age when love first blossomed.
