Jinxia City, outside the lobby of the Privy Council of the Secretariat.
Compared to other departments, this place was originally a relatively deserted place. Unless there were major evil cases, ordinary little charms and monsters would not usually be reported to the Privy Council for resolution. But today the road from the square to the portico was crowded with people. The heads and clerks of each department already knew that Xia Fucheng was going to receive a special guest here.
It no longer mattered who the news came from; what mattered was the guest himself.
"Auntie Yan?"
Yan Qing suddenly heard a familiar voice. When she turned around, it was Li, whom she had not seen for more than half a month. At the same time, she noticed that the other party was not wearing the tulle hat, but his ears were generously exposed, as was his tail.
"When I heard the news that you arrived in Jinxia, I still couldn't believe it." Li said as he came closer, "I didn't expect you to really come back."
The moment she saw the fox demon, Yan Qing understood that she now had a weakness in her heart.
Her face seemed to have a look somewhat similar to that of her friend.
"I didn't plan to come here so soon." Qing Jian smiled bitterly, "It's a pity that there was an accident on the way."
"So you really met a dragon?" Li asked in a low voice.
"Let's think so." She said noncommittally, "I have only heard of strange creatures like dragons in folklore. After all, few people would regard such existences as monsters."
Yan Qing now understood why the Privy Council of Xu State did not notify Qi State even though they were hunting for monsters.
This even made her have a little doubt. Can Qixing really put aside their prejudices and build a joint capital without barriers
"Since it is a dragon, why did it find Jinxia City?" Li Bai was puzzled.
"She said her purpose is..." Yan Qing suddenly paused mid-sentence, and the scene after Chi Yi soared into the sky appeared in her mind -
Xia Fan obviously noticed the group of people on the ground and guided Olina to land.
Yan Qing naturally also briefly told her own situation.
After learning that the golden dragon just now was not hostile, Xia Fan decisively asked her to take the dragon to the Privy Council, saying that he would meet him there.
It wasn't until he walked for a while that Chi broke out of the clouds and fell back to the ground.
Theoretically speaking, judging from the speed at which she just shot straight into the sky, it obviously wouldn't take such a long time to circle back.
At that time, Yan Qing realized that Chi Ye recognized the man on the dragon's back as the man who caused trouble in Shangyuan City, but for some unknown reason, she did not choose to meet him immediately.
As for Chi's reaction later, it was even more strange.
"Are you familiar with that person?"
The other party glared.
"Are you talking about Xia Fan? It's not bad." Yan Qing thought about it, "He robbed the Privy Council Prison in Shangyuan City, and I was the one who saved him."
The sense of majesty briefly disappeared from Chi's body.
She opened her mouth, but couldn't get a word out for a long time, and finally said hesitantly, "What I told you before... you didn't relay it to him, did you?"
"No. I think reporting is prone to bias, not to mention that when it comes to finding a husband, it should be done by you yourself—"
"Okay, okay!" She interrupted suddenly, "Just pretend that I never mentioned it."
- It was precisely because of the other party's unusual reaction that Yan Qing changed her words mid-sentence, "Actually, I don't know much either. The answer will probably come to light after Xia Fan talks to her."
"That's right, it's a real dragon after all." Li said with emotion.
The only ones that can compare with it in terms of fame are species such as unicorns, phoenixes, and Kunpengs that also only exist in legends.
She suddenly shook her ears toward the door and said, "Here we come."
With the crowd of Qi-sensers clearing the way, the woman walking in the center became the focus of all eyes.
Chi is unmoved.
She faced the whispers of everyone and strode into the Privy Council Hall.
Then the door closed, blocking out the whispers.
…
"Please take a seat."
In the lobby, Xia Fan pointed to the other end of the long table and greeted him warmly.
In fact, he was the one who spread the news about the meeting with the dragon.
After an urgent discussion with Ning Wanjun, Xia Fan believed that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Dragons always appear as auspicious omens in folk rumors. Now that the real dragon appears in Jinxia City, it will be a big deal in terms of consolidating people's hearts and building publicity. helpful. Especially if Ning Wanjun starts to annex various parts of Shenzhou, it is inevitable that there will be rumors of rebellion and rebellion. If the other party is willing to side with Jinxia City, the negative impact of these opinions can undoubtedly be greatly reduced.
"Your Highness, she is here."
"Hey..." After a burst of noise, the voice of the third princess came from the loudspeaker, "Miss Chi, right? I am Ning Wanjun, the leader of Jinxia City, and I am also known as Princess Guangping. Welcome. Come to the capital of Shenzhou."
Since this was not a regular conversation and the etiquette could only be temporarily simplified, Xia Fan decided to let Ning Wanjun speak first to introduce himself.
Chi and Kong Xuanzi who accompanied him were both shocked.
There was obviously only Xia Fan sitting across the long table, but they did hear the voice of another person speaking, and judging from the content, it was by no means a prepared speech, but a real-time conversation!
"Her Royal Highness the Princess is still fighting on the front line, almost dozens of miles away from here, so we can only talk in this way." Xia Fan explained, "If you want to say something, just speak directly. Your Highness can hear both of you. sound."
"I have met... Your Highness the Princess." Chi tried to reply, "My name is Chi, and I come from Penglai Island in the West Sea."
"Hey... I have heard Xia Fan mention your situation." Ning Wanjun's voice sounded again after a moment's delay, "I have entrusted him with full responsibility for this reception, and his next statements and promises will also be what I mean. .”
I can actually hear it!
Moreover, Chi did not see the other party use any spells during this process.
Is this also progress in a new era
Miss Long suddenly felt that her aura had been weakened a bit inadvertently, which made her frown slightly. Sure enough, there were only a few human beings who could sit in high positions securely.
She leaned back in her chair and turned her gaze back to Xia Fan, "It seems that you are as tolerant of the existence of demons as the rumors say."
"Although I don't know where you heard this news, rumors are often unreliable." Xia Fan replied calmly, "I don't need to tolerate demons - because I think they are the same as the rest of the world and should have the same existence." that power."
"I have to say, I haven't heard such a point of view for a long time." Chi nodded slightly to show his approval - proper praise can help him take the initiative in the conversation, "It's a pity that there are very few people like you. I’m afraid I don’t accept the aliens living around me.”
"In fact, change is not that difficult. At least in Jinxia City, I have issued a notice that both humans and monsters can settle in the city. If you violate the law, you will be treated equally."
Chi Lue was a little surprised and said, "Should we announce it to the whole city? You should know the attitude of the Privy Council Office."
Xia Fan smiled slightly and said, "I know it, but it doesn't mean that we still blindly follow it even though we know it is wrong. Standing up to oppose it is our attitude."
Kong Xuanzi behind him was so moved that he almost shed tears.
Five years... After searching for five full years, I finally found such an independent place on the land of the Six Kingdoms that was not controlled by the Privy Council. Lord Chi's wish finally has the possibility to come true.
He suddenly felt that the young man opposite him became more and more pleasing to the eye.
