Taibai Venus stood in the military camp, looking at the gathered crowd, feeling somewhat uneasy.
As for why he felt uneasy, he did not quite understand it himself. He simply felt unsettled.
Li Jing was inspecting the camp when he suddenly looked up at the sky and frowned.

Taibai Venus also looked up at the sky and saw those people.
Li Jing returned to his tent, where the envoys were waiting.
Although they did not hold much respect for the Jade Emperor's orders now, these were still envoys of the Heavenly Court, so they had to show them some outward courtesy.
