At the Clouds City, Lu Li and Ming Yu appeared in the Teleportation Formation. All the warriors of the Palace of Peaceful Heavens knew them. A team leader took the lead and saluted them.
Lu Li nodded and then walked to the branch of the Chamber of Commerce of Delicacy.
Jiang Hua, the branch master, came out in a hurry to welcome them in.
If it were only Ming Yu, Jiang Hua wouldn't have come out to greet them. Lu Li's identity was different.
After tea was served, Jiang Hua asked, "Young Master Lu, what can I do for you?"
Jiang Hua used the word "order" to show his respect to Lu Li. Lu Li cut to the chase and said, "I want to see your Lady Qi, right now!"
"Lady Qi?"
Jiang Hua was in a dilemma. He said with a frown, "Lady Qi has gone back to the City of Delicacy. I don't have the authority to contact her.
How about I ask Patriarch Hong for instructions?
And ask Patriarch Hong to ask Lady Qi? "
Who knew how long it would take to ask for instructions?
Lu Li thought about it and said, "No. Take me to the City of Delicacy. I will go to Jiang Hong and see your Lady Qi in person."
"Okay."
Jiang Hua didn't dare to disobey Lu Li. If Lu Li really was in a hurry and Jiang Qiling blamed him, he would lose his position as the branch master.
Jiang Hua gave some instructions and then teleported Lu Li away in person.
The City of Delicacy was a bit far away. They had to teleport more than a dozen times before they arrived at a huge city.
It was almost dusk. The setting sun in the west was like blood, covering the entire city in a yellow and red glow. The towering ancient city looked quite magnificent at the moment.
Jiang Hua showed Lu Li and Jiang Qiling to a luxurious tavern, a property of the Jiang Family.
Jiang Hua left after they were settled in a separate yard. He said he would invite Jiang Hong over soon.
Lu Li and Jiang Qiling had a simple meal. But after the time for three incense sticks to burn, Jiang Hong came. He was embarrassed to hear that Lu Li wanted to see Jiang Qiling.
"Lady Qi has been trying to reach the Noble Lord Realm since she came back last time. But … she failed and she was badly injured.
She is recuperating at the Island of Delicacy. I don't have the authority to see her. "
Lu Li's expressions turned awful after he heard Jiang Hong's explanation. He asked with concern, "Is Lady Qi alright?
There won't be any side effects, right? "
"That's fine!"
Jiang Hong shook his head and said, "Lady Qi is in too much of a hurry. She tried to reach the Noble Lord Realm before she stabilized her realm. She was hurt when she failed.
The Pavilion Master has used a divine herb. Miss Qi will have no problem in her cultivation in the future. She needs to rest now. The Pavilion Master has ordered that no one is to disturb her … "
Lu Li and Ming Yu looked at each other, feeling anxious. The Song Family Patriarch could sneak into the Northern Desert at any time. By then, there would be bloodshed and the Empire of Godly Prowess would fall apart.
Lu Li stared at Jiang Hong and asked, "Is there no other way?"
Seeing that Lu Li was in a hurry, Jiang Hong thought about it and said, "Yes!
We can't enter Miss Qi's Pavilion of Advent Immortals, but we can make Miss Qi summon us.
Come, follow me to Linglong Island. "
Jiang Hong knew very well how important Lu Li was to Jiang Qiling. He knew her personality even better. If Jiang Qiling were to lose her mind, the entire Jiang Family would be turned upside down.
Jiang Hong took Lu Li to the north and entered a magnificent yard.
There were many buildings and castles in the yard, pavilions and terraces. Lu Li and Ming Yu were confused.
After an hour, there was a huge lake in front of them. Jiang Hong explained, "This is the Lake of Delicacy. There is an Island of Delicacy in the middle of the lake. Only disciples of the Jiang Family have the right to live there."
"Oh, I see."
Lu Li nodded. There was a Mystic Armor Mountain in the Mystic Armor City where disciples of the Lu Family lived.
But there was an Island of Delicacy in the City of Delicacy where disciples of the Jiang Family lived.
Did the 12 Royal Families like to show off their nobility and uniqueness like this?
Jiang Hong didn't fly across the lake directly. Instead, he took them to a dock and boarded a boat.
"There are many Inhibition Formations in the lake. Going into the water or flying will trigger them. Usually, if someone dares to trespass on the Island of Delicacy, he or she will die."
Jiang Hong explained. The boat was fast and someone was steering it. Jiang Hong looked back and said, "Drive the boat to the foot of the Cliff of Advent."
Jiang Hong was a patriarch of the Jiang Family. Even though his rank was not high, he was still a patriarch.
The person controlling the warship immediately adjusted the direction of the ship and steered it to the left.
Lu Li and Ming Yu were confused. Jiang Hong explained with a smile, "Lady Qi likes to daydream on the Cliff of Advent when she has nothing to do. It will be up to your luck to see her."
"Um ~"
Lu Li walked to the deck and gazed into the distance. The boat was fast. In the time for only three incense sticks to burn, a huge island appeared in their sight.
The sun had set. There was only a strand of blood-red glow in the sky to the west. The entire Island of Delicacy became hazy, as if it were a dream or a fantasy.
Closer, closer!
Lu Li and the others saw a cliff. It was not high, only about 600 feet, but it was very steep. Reefs were everywhere at the bottom of the cliff. Waves splashed against the reefs and the cliff, splashing water everywhere.
"Jiang Qiling!"
Lu Li saw a person on the cliff, a girl in a red dress. She was sitting on the cliff, floating in the air with her bare feet.
The wind was strong. Her red dress was fluttering in the wind. Every now and then, the dress would roll up, revealing her calves. She didn't comb her hair today. It was just hanging on the back of her head and it was dancing in the wind as well.
Jiang Qiling gazed into the distance. She had no idea that a boat was flying towards her. Her eyes were blank as if her soul had been taken away.
Jiang Qiling's lips were red, like flames. Her skin was as fair as Bai Qiuxue and Bai Xiashuang.
Therefore, her red lips were eye-catching, flirtatious and sexy. She was holding a goblet of bloody rose in one hand. Under the glow of the sunset, her beauty was breathtaking.
Lu Li didn't say anything. He looked at the girl on the cliff, feeling sorry for her.
He felt — this girl was the only one left in the world. She was so lonely, so lonely, as if she had been abandoned by the world …
Jiang Hong wanted to say something but Lu Li waved his hand. He just stood there, looking at Jiang Qiling from a distance of hundreds of feet.
Jiang Qiling had no idea that someone was here. She just sat there in a daze, feeling sad.
As time went on, it was getting darker. Jiang Qiling was shrouded in the darkness.
She didn't move. She just sat there in the darkness, becoming one with it.
Lu Li couldn't wait any longer. He cleared his throat and said, "Lady Qi, don't you think it's boring to drink alone?
Do you want me to go to the Lake of Delicacy with you? "
"Buzzing ~"
Jiang Qiling's eyes lit up, glistening like fireflies in the night sky.
She looked down and saw a man in a cyan robe standing on the boat. She put on a bright smile. Her teeth were so white that they were eye-catching.
"Whoosh!"
Jiang Qiling slapped on the cliff wall and flew down to the boat like a fire phoenix.
But two people were faster than her. They came down from the sky like sharp swords. Their killing intent enveloped Lu Li and the others.
"They are my friends. Piss off!"
Jiang Qiling glared at them. She was filled with killing intent like a goddess of death. The two of them stopped in midair and went back to the cliff wall.
Jiang Qiling came down and stood next to Lu Li. Her empty eyes were now filled with a glow of life.
Her foxy eyes were like crescent moons and her face was covered with a sweet smile. She seemed to have come back to life.
"Sorry …"
