Chapter 1197: Each With Their Own Agendas (2)

Meng Fusheng and gang disguised themselves as the soldiers delivering the gold and took the opportunity to meet up with Ji Fengyan when they arrived at the Kingdom of Sa Er.

However, Xing Hun remained cautious and had them leave the next day. He obviously still had his reservations against Ji Fengyan.

Ji Fengyan did not mind Xing Hun’s actions and did not resist. She was extremely compliant, which gradually lowered Xing Hun’s guard against her.

With abundant wealth, the construction of the stargazing pagodas sped up. They sprouted up one by one in the Kingdom of Sa Er. Ji Fengyan could distinctly detect a strange energy suddenly permeating the air here.

Xing Hun sought Ji Fengyan after the completion of the eleventh pagoda.

“Queen.” Xing Hun came before Ji Fengyan in his poised manner. His soul might be tainted, but his pristine appearance remained ever-so-pleasing to the eye.

“Lord Grand Tutor.” Ji Fengyan got up with a smile at Xing Hun.

Xing Hun nodded as he discreetly observed Ji Fengyan’s every move. His reservations against her had yet to completely vanish. It was just that Ji Fengyan had been extremely compliant the past few months. She seldom left the Grand Tutor’s residence and spent all her days in her room, with no particular action. Meanwhile, the gold sent over from the Kingdom of Hua Xia piled up. This lowered Xing Hun’s guard against Ji Fengyan, almost as if he truly trusted that she only wished to cancel out the sanctions the Divine Temple had against her.

“The Divine Temple is sending someone over today. I hope that you will come with me to welcome him?” Xing Hun spoke in a pleasant and courteous manner.

“This… is not a good sign?” Ji Fengyan looked stricken, as if she was worried that the Divine Temple was displeased with her.

Xing Hun’s smile deepened when he saw her reaction.

“Don’t worry, I have already informed the Divine Temple of your situation. Although they are unhappy with your past actions, they have been very pleased with your help towards the construction of the stargazing pagodas. As long as you obey the Divine Temple’s decree in the future, they will grant you immunity for your past crimes.”

“That’s great. My gratitude to you, Grand Tutor.” Ji Fengyan breathed a sigh of relief.

Xing Hun continued. “Now that you are assured, come with me to welcome the Divine Temple’s representative? Perhaps you might even know him?”

Ji Fengyan’s heart gave a slight jump at Xing Hun’s words.

The Divine Temple was extremely secretive and apart from Xing Hun, she had only seen one other person from there.

Xing Hun was obviously offering her a hint and she could feel that the person she was about to meet today would finally assure Xing Hun that she could be trusted?

Ji Fengyan smiled as a handsome face surfaced in her mind. This time, she did not demur but nodded obediently.

“I dare not refuse the kind intentions of the Grand Tutor. It will be my honor to meet a representative of the Divine Temple.”

Xing Hun nodded in satisfaction before leading Ji Fengyan out of the room towards the main hall.

At this moment, Long Yue was standing inside the hall, together with another man seated on a chair.
