After all, as the leader of the Four Seas' aquatic armies, the Water Lord of the East Sea might not have as many high-ranking High Immortals under his command as Qing Qiu, but he had a far greater number of ordinary High Immortals.
With the Water Lord of the East Sea's help, whenever the Heavenly Monarch assigned her son a mission in the future, he wouldn't have to come back covered in wounds every time.
With that in mind, when Lady Le Xu met Princess Miao Qing, she said far more than the Heavenly Monarch had instructed her to.
Everything she said boiled down to one thing: Lady Le Xu liked Miao Qing very much. She felt Miao Qing had been wronged, so she had deliberately come to comfort her.
Lady Le Xu even chose one of her family's heirlooms and gave it directly to Miao Qing. She could hardly have made her intentions any clearer.
The magical treasure wasn't particularly valuable, but it looked like a piece of jewelry and could both serve as decoration and provide defense. Treasures like that were extremely rare.
Miao Qing loved it. She enthusiastically showed Lady Le Xu around the East Sea, then reluctantly escorted her back to the Celestial Palace.
Meanwhile, Su Jin went to Qing Qiu to apologize, but she wasn't even allowed inside. She was stopped at the border.
Su Jin felt aggrieved, but she knew that leaving just like that would make her apology seem insincere. So she simply waited in Qing Qiu for a full forty-nine days.
Bai Yi realized that keeping her there any longer would amount to disrespecting the Heavenly Clan. Only then, extremely unwillingly, did he accept Su Jin's apology on behalf of his daughter and tell her she no longer needed to wait.
