"Phew..."
He Xi let out a long breath, patted her chest, and relaxed. "That's a relief. That's a relief..."
She took two seconds to recover, then abruptly looked up again. "Then why did A Zhui and the others call for help?"
Kaisa lifted her teacup and took a sip.
"It was Lieyang. That old man Di Hongkun faked his death to escape, and now he's resurfaced to invade Blue Star. Yan and the others called for reinforcements because they were afraid of being at a disadvantage."
"Di Hongkun?"
He Xi's brows rose slightly, a hint of surprise in her voice. "Well, I didn't expect that. He's quite capable, surviving even after his divine body self-destructed. Looks like he's planning something big!"

Kaisa scoffed and set down her teacup, undisguised contempt in her voice. "It's not that I look down on him. In his current state, simply clinging to life is difficult enough. Our enemy at present is still Karl."
She paused, her golden eyes darkening. "According to Di Hongkun, Karl approached him earlier. His target was Qin Feng."
"Karl?"
"Why does that guy have his fingers in everything?"
"Ah, there's nothing we can do."
Kaisa leaned back in her chair, a weary sigh in her voice. "He has the Great Clock, after all. No matter how many precautions we take, we can't stop him from finding loopholes and sneaking out to cause trouble."
He Xi tapped the tabletop twice, then suddenly looked up, a sharp glint flashing through her silver eyes. "If you ask me, if all else fails, we should just burn down his Death Song Academy. Staying on guard like this is no solution."
Kaisa rolled her eyes. "You think I don't want to? But burning down his Death Song Academy wouldn't pose much of a threat
