As long as Bai Chaosi hadn’t recovered his memories, and as long as he cared about her, she had nothing to worry about.
Even if that woman once had a close relationship with him, she was the one he loved now.
As long as she seized the opportunity, she would one day live a life of luxury and privilege.
At this thought, a pitifully endearing expression appeared on her face.
"I knew you were the best, A Xi."
"But I’m so worried about you. You still haven’t told me, was it that woman who just hurt you? She’s so savage!"
At the mention of Shen Yue.
The look in Bai Chaosi’s eyes flickered for an instant before he started walking.
"It’s nothing. Maybe we had some kind of falling-out in the past."
"Let’s go. We should head back first."
Xiao Ya immediately fell into step beside him.
"But you can’t just stand there and let her hit you!"
Bai Chaosi replied, "What kind of male would raise a hand to a female?"
"Then do you remember who she is?"
"I don’t remember."
"She seemed really strong. Could she have spiritual power?"
"How could a female have spiritual power? You must have been mistaken."
"You’re right... but she was really fast!"
"Your eyes were playing tricks on you. She’s just a fast runner."
...
Only after watching the two walk away, their voices fading with their figures, did Shen Yue emerge from the shadows.
Huang Ziyue, who had been standing beside her, stepped out as well.
"Are you saying he hasn’t lost his memory?"
Shen Yue’s gaze darkened as she stared intently at the retreating figures of Bai Chaosi and Xiao Ya.
"Whether he’s truly lost his memory isn’t important. Don’t you think there’s something off about that Xiao Ya?"
Huang Ziyue had noticed it too, of course.
"She seems very curious about your identity."
Shen Yue didn’t elaborate, only saying faintly,
"Let’s observe from the shadows for now. We can’t jump to conclusions yet."
Shen Yue and Huang Ziyue spent the rest of the day strolling through Li City and bought a few local specialties. By the time they returned to their lodgings, it was already night.
However, even before they got close, they sensed that there were quite a few people hidden around the courtyard.
One probe of their auras was enough to know they were masters with spiritual power of A+ Level or higher.
It was no small feat to gather so many masters of A+ Level spiritual power in a border city, and so quickly.
After all, in a place like Barbaric City, even finding B level masters was exceedingly rare.
It seemed they were being watched.
The two exchanged a look of tacit understanding, and Huang Ziyue nonchalantly concealed his aura.
He then led Shen Yue toward the courtyard, walking openly as if nothing was wrong.
They looked just like an ordinary couple, giving no hint of anything unusual.
Inside, Wu Huo saw them returning and quickly opened the door to welcome them in.
The moment they were inside, Wu Huo spoke up.
"Miss Shen Yue, Great Emperor Master, you’re finally back!"
Shen Yue removed the veil from her face.
"What happened?"
Wu Huo said at once,
"The City Lord of Li City sent a formal invitation today. He said he learned that members of the Flood Dragon Clan have arrived in Ye Country and would like to invite our esteemed guests to the City Lord Mansion for a gathering. He’s hosting a banquet at the mansion tomorrow and has requested the honor of our presence!"
With that, he handed the invitation to Huang Ziyue.
Without looking at it, Huang Ziyue passed it directly to Shen Yue.
Shen Yue raised an eyebrow and opened it for a look.
It was full of polite platitudes—how honored he was that the Flood Dragon Clan had deigned to visit Ye Country, apologies for not being there to greet them personally, and so on.
The key point was his desire to meet with the esteemed guests from the Flood Dragon Clan to foster good relations.
After reading it, Shen Yue folded the invitation.
"His words are certainly humble and polite."
She looked at Huang Ziyue and chuckled. "But they’re quite well-informed."
