Bai Zihan slowly swept his gaze across the enormous ceremonial plaza.
His eyes calmly passed over one powerful faction after another.
Some were familiar faces.
Others, he had never seen before.
Every so often, someone would respectfully nod toward him.
Bai Zihan merely acknowledged them with a faint nod before shifting his attention elsewhere.
Still, there was no Imperial Family within sight.
No empress or queen and obviously no Yu Qingya or Yu Feiyan.
He continued surveying the plaza.
Before long, his eyes landed upon a familiar figure.
A beautiful woman dressed in blue stood quietly beside the delegation of the Falling Star Empire.
Her posture was straight, her expression vigilant.
It was Mingzhe, the personal bodyguard of Empress Sun Yaoqing.
Ever since Sun Yaoqing had successfully ascended the throne of the Falling Star Empire, he had maintained contact with them.
The Falling Star Empire would occasionally send intelligence regarding their Empire.
