The Fae banquet was extremely merry, even for Ian and Yisen, who had their sense of taste assaulted by a huge amount of salt.

The relaxed atmosphere greatly aided in mood recovery, especially for two people burdened with many thoughts and cares—it lifted their spirits and boosted their mental acuity.

As night deepened, the Fae guests took their leave one by one, even tidying up all the dishes in the house before departing.

They not only washed the dishes but also cleaned the place.

“I always thought Fae were some sort of mischief-makers, never expected them to help clean up…

That’s just too polite!” This was Ian’s lament.

No wonder the Fae love to throw parties; if every guest were this conscientious, Ian, too, would want to host a banquet every day.

“Mo Feng is returning to the Fairy Homeland tomorrow.”

With only two people and two Fae remaining, Hua’an held the Frost Butterfly aloft and drifted through the air, explaining why Mo Feng had not stayed: “Those victimized Fae are important.

To get The Empire and the officials from Fiery Flame Land to acknowledge and apologize, the victims’ testimonies are essential…

On the other hand, this could affect you, Ian.”

“It was your cooperation with the Huai Guang Rescue Team that allowed their rescue.

Could The Empire persecute you because of this?”

As Hua’an spoke, his face bore a look of great concern.

“How can that be?” Ian chuckled: “At most, the Spirit Wisdom Institute will be displeased with me, but within The Empire, it’s just one faction.

There are plenty of people who think well of what I did—don’t imagine that The Empire is united in purpose, even within the Spirit Wisdom Institute itself.”

“That’s a relief.”

Hua’an sighed deeply, and the Frost Butterfly mimicked the gesture, causing the air to cool down a bit: “By the way, Ian, my Senior said she wants to meet you!

She had something to attend to on The Empire’s side and couldn’t make it to the banquet, but she should be arriving soon.”

“Your Senior?” Ian was slightly startled before he quickly understood: “That…

Fairy Instructor?”

“Mhm.” Hua’an nodded subtly.

It turned out that the negotiator sent from the Fairy Homeland to the Imperial Capital to discuss with The Empire was indeed Hua’an’s teacher, a Fairy Instructor of the Fourth Power Level.

“That…

”

Ian recalled the name: “Gansong Dongyu…

”

As soon as these words were said, whether it was Ian, Yisen Gard, Hua’an, or the Frost Butterfly, all felt a clear and crisp sensation.

It was like climbing a mountain for half a day and suddenly encountering a cool breeze mid-slope, gently touching the heart.

—Could it be that merely saying her name would summon her?

Ian turned his head toward the door.

After catching Yisen’s nod, the white-haired youth got up and went to open it.

Indeed, at the door floated a still Fae with white hair and green eyes, her appearance graceful.

She wore a smile, dressed very modestly, with the exception of a somewhat worn research robe, and had a blue gemstone pendant around her neck.

“Hello, Mister Ian, I am Gansong Dongyu.

Recently, I am indebted to you for taking care of Hua’an and her associates.”

Upon hearing this Fairy Instructor’s voice, Ian felt it to be as soothing as spring rain falling on a lake or a summer breeze passing through leaves—an indescribable smoothness and pleasure, almost like the accumulation of many fine memories.

At this moment, the youth began to understand why the Fae called themselves a ‘beautiful’ race.

It was indeed aptly named.

“Hello, Lady Gansong…” Faced with a Fairy of the Fourth Level, one of the highest authorities from the Land of Bliss Township, Ian naturally did not dare to be careless.

He invited the white-haired Fae Lady into the house, but she shook her head slightly in refusal: “No, thank you.

I still have many matters to attend to.”

“I came because there’s something I need to discuss with you.”

Mentor Gansong squinted her eyes, and her green, gem-like pupils shone with a subtle luminescence.

She glanced at Hua’an and the Frost Butterfly flying out, followed by Yisen Gard.

After giving them a faint smile, she continued to lock eyes with Ian: “While you were injured and unconscious, I visited you once.”

As she spoke, the surrounding grass and wind seemed to resonate, bringing a refreshing essence: “At that time, I felt that your injuries were not serious…

but there was a strong, though not very malicious, intent of death residing within you.

That might be the real cause of your unconsciousness.”

“At first, I didn’t quite understand, but upon learning the full extent of the incident in the Avak Domain, I had a conjecture—you might have been permeated by the many Lost Souls residing there, their despair and hatred guiding the fall of the Domain of Void.”

“And you, due to the Fae’s traits, resonate easily with your surroundings.”

—Had she noticed some clues about the Deceased Monarch?

No, it was likely as she said, the presence of the Deceased Monarch merely amplified that sensation.

Ian tensed slightly but didn’t panic.

In his mind, he reaffirmed the need to return to South Ridge.

In the Imperial Capital, the abundance of powerful experts meant that the slightest flaw could be detected by everyone.

“I am here to help you resolve this lingering affliction.”

Mentor Gansong smiled gently at Ian and then a wave of gentle Spirit Energy Fluctuation emanated from her, slowly reaching out towards Ian: “If you’re willing, I can aid you.”

Ian was instinctively a bit wary at first, but thinking things through, he reached out and touched Gansong’s Spirit Energy.
