In the main hall, Shen Yanxiao was wearing a white robe with her legs crossed. She propped her chin with one hand and looked at the group of petrified people with a smile.

“Everyone, it has been a long time since we met. Why are you so surprised to see me? Have I become ugly?” Shen Yanxiao said with a wicked look.

The rulers of the four countries were completely dumbstruck.

Never in their wildest dreams would they expect that the Palace Master of the Broken Star Palace was… was Shen Yanxiao!!

‘Were they dreaming?

She remembered that Sage Feng incited them to start a war against the Forsaken Land some time ago. Why was the leader of the Broken Star Palace and the Forsaken Land the same person?

‘What was she just playing with them?

Asking them to attack her territory?

Had Shen Yanxiao gone crazy, or had they gone crazy?

The rulers of the four countries were shocked by the reality in front of them. They felt as if they were in a dream. A few of them had secretly pinched their thighs, and cried from the pain.

“Palace… Palace Master.” The Emperor of the Longxuan Empire finally found his voice with great difficulty.

“We pay our respects to the Palace Master.” The King of the Blue Moon Dynasty was the calmest. The moment he came back to his senses, he took the lead and knelt on the ground.

Following him, the people behind him uniformly knelt before Shen Yanxiao. She could vaguely see that some of them were still trembling.

Among them, Elder Wen from the Seventh Kingdom was the most affected.

“Please get up. I am considered an old acquaintance of yours. I called you here today because I have something to say to you. Please take a seat. You don’t have to be so formal.” Shen Yanxiao smiled and said. Her tone was like a spring breeze and could not be more gentle.

However, even if Shen Yanxiao used her spring-like voice to infect everyone, none of the rulers dared to relax.

They moved to the chairs cautiously and sat down stiffly. Each and every one of them had an extremely bitter expression as if they were sitting on pins and needles.

Long Fei looked at Shen Yanxiao in shock.

“Big Brother Long, long time no see. How have you been?” Shen Yanxiao looked at Long Fei with a smile. Among the group, only Long Fei had some friendly relations with her.

Even though Long Fei could not stop the G.o.d Wind Alliance from attacking the Forsaken Land, he had firmly blocked his mercenaries from joining the battle. Otherwise, the number of people the G.o.d Wind Alliance would have sent to attack Sun Never Sets would increase by another hundred thousand.

After the war, Long Fei also sent someone to deliver a batch of supplies. Along with those supplies, there was also a letter written by Long Fei. The letter was filled with his guilt towards Shen Yanxiao and statements about him no longer being fit to be her brother.

However, Shen Yanxiao did not blame Long Fei. He had already done what he could, and she was well aware of his personality.

Long Fei opened his mouth with a trace of bitterness in his eyes. He was filled with guilt towards Shen Yanxiao.

“Not bad. Thank you, Xiaoxiao, for your concern.” Shen Yanxiao calling him “Big Brother” made Long Fei feel complicated. He felt guilty, remorseful, powerless to redeem himself, so he was touched by Shen Yanxiao’s act of closeness.

He did not help Shen Yanxiao much, but she was still willing to acknowledge him as her brother. He owed her too much.

If Shen Yanxiao was still the city lord that only controlled one city, it would have been perfectly normal if she wanted to get closer to him. However, Shen Yanxiao’s current status was beyond his reach and yet, she did not despise him. For Long Fei, this was very touching.
