Within the Hundred Flowers Sect, the beautiful matron He Ying stood leaning by a window, an intractable loneliness and quiet resentment lingering between her brows.

Li Chen had been gone for days. He had said he was going to the Azure Qilin Kingdom to fetch someone, but he had been away far too long.

Unable to help herself, she complained to Xuan Ji, who stood quietly beside her, "Sister Xuan Ji, why hasn't Young Master Li returned yet? Has he been having so much fun with Sister Ru Meng that he's forgotten all about coming home?"

Xuan Ji glanced at the "phone" in her hand, something only people from Heavenly Strategy understood. On it was a brief message from Li Chen saying that his identity had been revealed in the Azure Qilin Kingdom, and he needed to stay a little longer to provide "guidance."

Having followed Li Chen for so long, Xuan Ji understood all too well what lavish, sensual scenes lay behind that so-called "guidance" once His Majesty's identity was exposed.

She knew perfectly well that Li Chen would never return before he had enjoyed himself to his heart's content, so she replied calmly, "Don't worry, Sister He Ying. The young master knows what he's doing. He'll return once he has finished his business."

Unable to contain her curiosity, He Ying asked again, "I've always wanted to ask-just what is Young Master Li's position in Heavenly Strategy? Everyone seems to hold him in such awe."

Xuan Ji smiled faintly and kept her guessing. "You'll find out once we reach Heavenly Strategy, Sister. Wouldn't it be more interesting to preserve a little mystery for now?"

Seeing that she would not explain, He Ying could only sigh softly. "All right."

There were also quite a few other women in the courtyard
