Chapter 854 - The God Realm Appears (7)

With moonlight shrouding over the god envoys, they entered Sun Never Sets.

The sage stood alone in the yard as he looked at the dark sky.

“Your Highness.” Nangong Mengmeng quietly walked towards the sage and looked at him with curiosity.

Sadly, she did not get to speak with her idol today. Shen Yanxiao most likely did not even know her name. Nangong Mengmeng felt saddened by that.

“What is it?” The sage slowly lowered his head and looked at the somewhat ill at ease young lady.

“Your Highness, are you very concerned about the city lord?” Nangong Mengmeng was the type of person to pester and follow around people regardless if they wished for it or not, making her quite observant of people. It was very clear to her that His Highness was paying a great deal of attention to Shen Yanxiao’s every move.

Nangong Mengmeng was happy that His Highness was so worried about her idol.

The sage merely chuckled but did not reply.

Under that laughing face, there was a trace of worry. Perhaps, he should have come to see her sooner. Due to his negligence, he could not personally witness the changes in her.

“The city lord is a good person.” Nangong Mengmeng wished that she could pull the relationship between His Highness and Shen Yanxiao closer. She knew that there was nothing His Highness could not accomplish in the world. With His Highness around, Shen Yanxiao would be more secure.

“You like the city lord?” The sage could not help but laugh as he looked at the young lady who could not hide her thoughts.

Nangong Mengmeng’s eyes immediately sparkled when her idol was mentioned.

“She is amazing. She is only fourteen years old, and yet she has already achieved so much. As a woman, I am proud of her.” No woman had ever accomplished such a feat in the Inter-academy Tournament. Shen Yanxiao was the first woman in the Brilliance Continent to do that.

Furthermore, she was a person who valued friendship and righteousness. One could tell from her arrangement with Shen Feng and Shen Ling that she was not a heartless person.

Power, brains, and a heart of gold. It was rare to see a woman like her.

Even Nangong Mengmeng admired Shen Yanxiao.

“That’s right, she is amazing.” The sage’s tone was somewhat unfathomable. It was as if he was pleased but with a hint of worry.

How amazing was her talent? If it were anyone else, it would be great. However, for Shen Yanxiao…

One would not know if it was a blessing or a curse.

“Your Highness, when are you ready to talk with the city lord?” Nangong Mengmeng was curious. She already knew their real purpose for coming to Sun Never Sets, but His Highness seemed hesitant to explain anything in front of Shen Yanxiao. She could not understand his intentions.

The sage narrowed his eyes and said, “There’s no hurry. She is already worried about us appearing in Sun Never Sets. If I were to tell her the truth, I’m afraid she would misunderstand.” When he stepped into the city, he immediately sensed a dense dark element aura. It was a strong scent mixed with the aura of a demon. He was sure that there were demons in the city.

It only took half a year for Sun Never Sets to be completed, and the speed at which it was completed was astonishing. He also knew about the cards that Shen Yanxiao had in her hands. It was impossible for her to eliminate all the demons in a main city in such a short time, let alone building a city of such a scale.

Therefore, he believed that the demons in the Sun Never Sets were still there.

Shen Yanxiao must have known that, and she was also aware of the God Realm’s attitude toward demons.

Even though she looked calm, he knew that she was still worried.

She was worried that the God Realm would discover the demons.
