The meeting finally came to an end.
Bai Xiaowen then used the Camelot Queen's magic communication talisman as a medium to contact his three companions, Qiao Rui, Cecilia, and Han Xu, who were fighting far away in the Amusha Sea. For this, he had specifically requested a quiet wooden cabin where they would not be disturbed.

Qiao Rui herself was highly intelligent. After years
