Chong Sheng's gaze remained fixed on Bai Zihan for a long moment after finishing his explanation.
Silence lingered between them.
(Why was he asking about Qin Lingxiao?)
Although she was definitely someone whose fame spread across the world, he didn't think that even the Desolate Heaven Empire would have heard about her.
Moreover, it didn't seem like Bai Zihan was merely interested in her because he had heard her name or anything like that.
Then, slowly, his brows began to knit together.
Something had suddenly occurred to him.
Then he spoke again.
"Don't tell me…"
His voice grew heavier.
"…that you've actually met her?"
The question hung in the air.
Bai Zihan did not immediately respond.
But this time, he did not hide it.
He simply nodded.
"Yes!"
Chong Sheng froze.
"…You met her?"
His tone had changed completely.
There was genuine surprise now.
Bai Zihan spoke calmly.
"She is in the Desolate Heaven Empire."
