"Creak."
Just then, the heavy gates of refined steel at Xuanwu Gate slowly opened.
Dressed in black, Xiong Shaoqing walked out unhurriedly with his arms folded, flanked by the two elders, Yue Guan and Gui Mei. Zhu Zhuqing nestled against his side, having changed into a sumptuous black queen's gown.
