Inside the city, Xiao Yue'er stared intently at the spot where Su Chen had disappeared, her expression revealing a complex mix of emotions, including a hint of resentment, but it was much better than before.
"Sigh~"
Xiao Ziyan sighed softly, looking at Xiao Yue'er, "It seems you haven't completely let go yet."
Xiao Yue'er didn't respond immediately, but stared for a long time before turning to look at Xiao Ziyan, a smile appearing on her face, though it seemed somewhat forced. "Sister, letting go of someone isn't something that happens so quickly; it takes time, doesn't it?"
Xiao Ziyan remained silent, a pang of heartache rising in her heart. "I hope you can truly forget it in the future."
Xiao Yue'er smiled, smoothed her hair, and said softly, "Yes, I will."
Her gaze returned to the spot where Su Chen had disappeared. "Sister, why do you seem so relaxed?"
Xiao Ziyan also looked in that direction and said, "Sister, I am not unsadulterated, but I know that some feelings are like distant stars in the night sky from the very beginning—beautiful, but untouchable. We and Young Master Su Chen are from different worlds; that cannot be changed, and it is a fact. Rather than wallowing in endless sorrow, it is better to try to let go slowly. I know that this kind of feeling is hard to let go of, but if I continue to wallow in it, it will only make me more miserable."
Xiao Yue'er remained silent for a long time before slowly saying, "Sister, I know you're right. I've tried to let go, but whenever I think of him, even though I know it's impossible, I can't stop thinking about him. I just can't control it."
Xiao Ziyan took Xiao Yue'er's hand. "And what about me? But we're like moths drawn to a flame; no matter how persistent we are, we'll only get burned in the end. We need to learn to let go. The process may be difficult, but it's better than being trapped in this hopeless quagmire forever."
Xiao Yue'er lowered her head slightly, tears still glistening in her eyes, but a glimmer of clarity had appeared in her gaze. She gently bit her lower lip, as if suppressing the turbulent emotions within her. After a long while, she exhaled, as if releasing the pent-up feelings that had been building up in her heart for so long, "I understand."
Her voice was slightly hoarse, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly. Her smile, though tinged with bitterness, was also the beginning of a sense of relief. She raised her hand and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and a new light gradually returned to her eyes, as if she had just woken from a long and exhausting dream. "What has happened these past few days really feels like a dream."
Xiao Ziyan nodded, "Yes..."
In the air.
Xiao Jing pondered for a moment, then addressed the powerful members of the Dragon Clan and Fire Phoenix Clan: "Gentlemen, I imagine you don't want to form an alliance with us, do you? And you certainly don't want to be suppressed by our Human Race, do you?"
Upon hearing this, the powerful members of the Dragon Clan and Fire Phoenix Clan, who had already resigned themselves to their fate, were all taken aback, a hint of doubt flashing in their eyes, wondering what Xiao Jing meant by these words.
The four Dragon Clan Immortal Emperor stared at Xiao Jing, their eyes gleaming.
Xiao Jing stood tall and straight like a pine tree, his gaze calm and dignified. "I know that even if we form an alliance, you will still feel uncomfortable. After all, in your eyes, we Human Race were like ants before. Now, with this sudden alliance, I'm sure you will find it hard to accept. Moreover, over time, conflicts may arise between us. So, my idea is that from now on, my Illusion City will keep to itself and not interfere with your Dragon Clan and Fire Phoenix Clan. I hope that if you encounter Human Race outside the city in the future, you will let them go."
Upon hearing this, the powerful figures from both the Dragon Clan and the Fire Phoenix Clan were filled with surprise and delight.
Xiao Jing is right. They really don't want to ally with Illusion City. Putting aside the fact that they have always regarded Human Race as the lowest of the low, just look at what just happened in Illusion City.
Ao Wei, Feng Yan, and all the Immortal Emperor of the Fire Phoenix Clan were killed by Su Chen!
I hate it!
They definitely hate it!
After all, so many Immortal Emperor had died in their own family, but what good was hatred?
Going to seek revenge?
What's the difference between that and sending someone to their death?
They're not that stupid.
They not only hate Su Chen, they also hate humanity!
How could Human Race, whom they have always regarded as the lowest of the low, produce such terrifyingly powerful beings?
They disagree!
They were already resentful, but Su Chen had actually ordered them to form an alliance with a Human Race power. To be honest, they were unwilling, but it was Su Chen's order, how could they dare disobey?
Even if they are unwilling, they have to face reality!
So when Xiao Jing suddenly said these words, they were both surprised and delighted.
Xiao Jing's idea was correct. If their Illusion City really allied with the Dragon Clan and the Fire Phoenix Clan, something bad would happen sooner or later. Therefore, the best solution was not to form an alliance.
Xiao Jing stood with his hands behind his back, looking at all the powerful figures from the Fire Phoenix Clan and the Dragon Clan, and slowly asked, "Gentlemen, what are your thoughts?"
The four Dragon Clan Immortal Emperor exchanged glances and nodded. One of the Dragon Clan said to Xiao Jing Immortal Emperor, "My Dragon Clan has no problem."
If their Dragon Clan allies with Illusion City, they will definitely be suppressed by Illusion City in the future, because you must know that their Dragon Clan does not currently have Peak Immortal Emperor!
Therefore, they'd be more than happy if we didn't ally with Illusion City!
Xiao Jing glanced at the four Dragon Clan and nodded slightly, then his gaze fell on a powerful member of the Fire Phoenix Clan.
At this moment, all the eyes of the Fire Phoenix Clan were on him.
Why?
This Fire Phoenix Clan expert is currently the strongest member of the Fire Phoenix Clan, possessing the strength of Half-Step Immortal Emperor!
Now that the Fire Phoenix Clan no longer has Immortal Emperor, they naturally take this powerful figure with the strength of Half-Step Immortal Emperor as their leader.
Upon seeing Xiao Jing looking at him, the powerful member of the Fire Phoenix Clan trembled, then cautiously said, "Our Fire Phoenix Clan will obey City Lord Xiao."
His voice trembled slightly, but that was understandable. After all, Xiao Jing was a Peak Immortal Emperor, and how could he, a mere Half-Step Immortal Emperor, not be afraid?
If it were before, when Feng Yan and those Fire Phoenix Clan Immortal Emperor were still alive, he wouldn't have been so cautious. But now, the Fire Phoenix Clan has lost all its confidence.
If he hadn't kept a low profile, Xiao Jing would have been fully capable of wiping out the current Fire Phoenix Clan!
Xiao Jing nodded calmly, stared at him, and asked, "What's your name?"
The powerful member of the Fire Phoenix Clan dared not hesitate and quickly replied, " Feng Yu!"
A glint of light flashed in Xiao Jing's eyes, but he said nothing more.
He is now contemplating whether or not to kill Feng Yu.
His main discovery was that Feng Yu was not far from breaking through to the Immortal Emperor!
It's estimated that it won't be long before he breaks through to the Immortal Emperor!
Don't underestimate a newly ascended Immortal Emperor. Even if he is just starting Immortal Emperor, he is still Immortal Emperor!
Their strength should not be underestimated!
After a brief moment of contemplation, Xiao Jing ultimately decided to let him go, because if he killed Feng Yu, what would the four Immortal Emperor of the Dragon Clan think?
