A Ke prepared to set aside most of her work and remain at Moonlight Guardian Knight Mountain to study the moon teleportation array, while Liszt left ahead of her.
He still had important work to do. After forming their alliance, the three kingdoms had become increasingly aggressive, forcefully squeezing the Flame Kingdom's room to survive.
