"Natural advantages, perhaps? After all, back in the Chaos Heaven, they were already a tightly united faction. They continued using Grand Secretary Immortal's system of government, so it was no wonder they had such penetrating power. Add in the thoughts of some former officials, and it was hard to avoid becoming subject to the laws of the market." I smiled, though in truth I felt Blacky's side was hardly worth mentioning.
"Hehe, if they knew that Husband had successfully attained the Dao and even devoured Lord Hua, that would be fun! But speaking of which, there's a certain young lady who still has an unbroken thread connecting her to that Old Heaven City. I wonder if Husband still has her on his mind?" Li Zhier blinked, clearly testing me.
I narrowed my eyes slightly, finding it rather strange as well, and smiled. "Don't use the phrase 'have her on my mind,' all right? Tell me, who is it?"
"Zhuang Ruoyue." Li Zhier giggled.
"Oh... her. That little girl is quite pretty. As I recall, she hadn't even entered the palace yet when she went to the Far West. Ah, what a pity. In the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed..." I pretended to ponder.
Li Zhier's eyes widened. She shoved me and complained, "Husband really is interested in her! She's a double agent for Old Heaven City! You don't even spare a spy!?"
I burst out laughing. "If she were a spy, she would have been thrown into the heavenly prison by you long ago. How could she still be perfectly fine for you to bring up?"
"Hmph, she's a spy no matter what! Anyone entangled with Old Heaven City can't be a good person!" Li Zhier huffed, still wearing the expression of a young girl.
