"You said you 'once' saw him?" Xiao Chen asked. "Does that mean he's no longer at Sky Nirvana Palace?"
"Of course not, he comes from above." Yan Lei pointed to the sky with an extremely humble demeanor, as if afraid of committing some taboo, and said, "His status is noble, he is a prince of the royal family, and naturally cannot descend easily. If it weren't for the Empress's coronation ceremony three hundred years ago, I wouldn't have had the fortune to meet him."
"So, your relationship with him isn't great, you've only seen him once?" Xiao Chen sneered. "And yet you bring him up, hoping he'll save your life?"
"Young man, I am a close guest of the Empress, and he is the Empress's man. Do you understand?" Yan Lei snorted. "If you retreat today, I can pretend nothing happened. All our previous grudges can be wiped clean, and I swear henceforth to coexist peacefully with the Dragon Soul Twelve Palaces and cease oppressing them."
