Facing the personal arrival of this Alliance director.
The chill around Ye Li slowly receded. Looking at the unshaken soul before him, he asked:
"Director, what brings you here in person?"
"Palace Lord Ye, you really are as impatient as the rumors say." Lu Xuan set down the delicate hem of her dress and grew slightly more serious.
