Inside the room, Li Fei did not hurry to leave. Instead, he gestured for Zhao Yi to sit down.
"Did Zhao Renjie ever teach you any techniques for concealing your actions in the 'Dream Realm' projection?"
Li Fei suddenly asked.
Zhao Yi was startled by the question and looked at Li Fei in surprise.
"Was this what Li—what Jing An, Marquis, told the Ghost King?"
Li Fei smiled and made a move Zhao Yi had never expected.
He placed a hand on his Evil Ghost Mask and channeled his force into it, altering the metal connecting strip behind the mask. Then, he slowly removed it.
Zhao Yi subconsciously held her breath before her eyes suddenly widened.
She stared in disbelief at the familiar face beneath the mask.
A few seconds later, she abruptly came to her senses and hurriedly stood up to bow to Li Fei.
"Greetings, Jing An, Marquis!"
Li Fei raised a hand, signaling for her to get up. "Sit down and talk."
Zhao Yi sat back down and looked at Li Fei with burning eyes.
Back then, she had been forced to make the Three-Year Agreement with Li Fei, and she had felt stifled and unwilling.
It was only after news of Li Fei becoming a marquis reached her that she realized how lucky she was!
After tasting the intoxication brought by power, Li Fei had become someone she admired and looked up to.
"What is the relationship between you and the Blue-Faced Ghost King, Marquis?"
Zhao Yi asked.
Seeing how cautious she was, Li Fei felt somewhat emotional.
Back then, even after she had been forced to use the Oath Technique on him, she had not been nearly this respectful. Sometimes, she had even been rather rude.
Status and power really could create distance between people.
