Luoluo asked, ”Has Royal Mother left the palace again?”

Guardian Li whispered, ”It seems like she has gone to the opposite shore.”

Luoluo asked, ”Aunt returned a few days ago?”

Guardian Li answered, ”Presumably.”

Luoluo asked, ”The incident at South Stream Temple was true?”

Guardian Li hesitated, but she still responded in the affirmative.

Luoluo fell quiet for a while, then said, ”Then they really do want to harm Teacher.”

Upon hearing these words and sensing the emotions in her voice, Guardian Li did not dare respond.

”I didnʼt think that the legend of New North Bridge was true and that Teacher has known that black dragon this entire time.”

Luoluo gazed at the vague shape of the green mountain deep within the mists and said, ”But where is Mother keeping her right now?”

Guardian Li whispered, ”Itʼs not possible to investigate.”

Luoluo sighed. ”Arenʼt I very useless?”

Guardian Li did not know how to respond. Although the princess was one of the most noble existences in White Emperor City, how could she influence the actions of the Empress?

Luoluo suddenly rallied herself, a happy expression appearing on her bright and pretty face. ”But it doesnʼt matter. Teacher said before that living is the most important. It doesnʼt matter if weʼre useful or not, only if we can live according to our hearts or not, if we can live happily.”

On another cliff in the sea of clouds, there was also a petite figure, but this one did not seem weak or fragile. Perhaps because she had never experienced hardship as a child or had been educated differently, Mu Jiushi always had self-confidence written all over her beautiful little face, making her seem bright and cheerful with an intimidating aura of nobility.

Madam Mu could naturally tell that her younger sister was in a very depressed mood and was only pretending to not care.

She walked to the edge of the cliff and embraced Mu Jiushi, tenderly saying, ”It truly is difficult to be a woman of the Mu clan.”

These words and the warmth of her older sisterʼs body made it impossible for Mu Jiushi to keep pretending. Burying herself in her sisterʼs chest, she sorrowfully said, ”I donʼt even know when that fellow started following us. Sister, arenʼt I too useless?”

She was naturally referring to Qiushan Jun.

Madam Mu said, ”Imperial Uncleʼs scheme was flawed from the start, so how can you be blamed?”

Mu Jiushi raised her head, a confused expression her face. ”Flawed?”

Madam Mu explained, ”Even if there was no Qiushan Jun and everyone on the plateau believed that Zhusha killed Bie Tianxin, so what? Imperial Uncle wanted to use Zhushaʼs name to burn Chen Changsheng, but he never thought about the fact that the Pope of the Human race is not so easy to kill.”

Mu Jiushi had not gone to South Stream Temple, but she was well aware of the events that had taken place on the plateau. Her eyes wide, she said, ”But Chen Changsheng really did almost die there.”

Madam Mu shook her head. ”From the start, Shang Xingzhou was using Imperial Uncle, but he never had any intentions of personally taking part. Didnʼt you see how the Prince of Xiang never once struck, just stood on the sidelines like a bystander? And only someone as idiotic as White Tiger would strike before the conclusion was clear.”

Surprised, Mu Jiushi asked, ”Wasnʼt the Prince of Xiang not attacking to intimidate Wang Po?”

Madam Mu replied, ”As someone whoʼs already crossed that threshold, every action of his has a deeper meaning. How could he be swayed by external forces?”

This made Mu Jiushi think, didnʼt Imperial Uncle die for nothing then? With hatred in her voice, she spat, ”The people of Zhou are truly crafty and sinister.”

Madam Mu reminded her, ”An undertaking of a thousand years should never suffer from a momentʼs impatience. It was only because the esteemed Imperial Uncleʼs life was reaching its end that he took such a risk, hoping to see if he could get a little lucky. But you and I do not need to be so impatient. Once matters on this side are taken care of, we can make new plans.”

Mu Jiushi thought about the grand undertaking her older sister was speaking of and couldnʼt help but get excited. ”But Iʼm just worried that Sister will be here alone and without allies.”

Madam Mu smiled. ”Iʼm not a solitary recluse like Tianhai.”
