Ling'er's Thousand Paper Cranes

Ancient Theocracy, Spiritburn Palace.

"Revered Deity, the Heaven Origin Sect Master and Human Origin Sect Master request an audience."

Fang Qingli spoke outside Jiang Feiling's bedchamber.

"Mm." A soft voice came from within. It sounded somewhat desolate and listless.

Not long afterward, a young girl dressed in a plain pale-blue gown emerged from the bedchamber.

Even such simple clothing seemed like a treasure when worn by her.

Though the girl's expression was somewhat dim, her face, like that of a divine maiden descending to earth, remained unparalleled in the world.

"Revered Deity, this way."

Following behind in attendance, Fang Qingli accompanied Jiang Feiling to the Main Hall.

There were only three people in the Main Hall: the three sect masters of Heaven, Earth, and Man, with Fang Taiqing seated in the center.

"Revered Deity, I have compiled the secret letters concerning the Thousandstar Realm. You need only read this one. We can guarantee that the information is beyond doubt." Fang Taiqing's expression was gentle, neither pleased nor alarmed. He passed the secret letter to his mother, Fang Qingli, who then handed it to Jiang Feiling.

Before reading the secret letter, Jiang Feiling swept her gaze across the three of them. Fang Taiqing and Jian Wuyi were relatively composed, but Xuanyuan Dao was already unable to conceal his delight, his face beaming with smiles.

Could there be good news? I have to hold myself back. I can't be wildly elated or grief-stricken. I have to play the role of the Revered Deity properly. Before reading the letter, Jiang Feiling reminded herself inwardly, lest she lose her composure again.

Although she no longer had to worry about her identity being exposed, a Revered Deity still had to look like one.

Her snow-white fingertips trembled slightly as she opened the folded secret letter.
