Chi Tong had Duanmu Hongru arrange accommodations for Ji Fengyan and company. Duanmu Hongru was looking rather ill and had two devil-masked men lead Ji Fengyan instead.
After exiting the main hall, Meng Fusheng cautiously sidled up to Ji Fengyan and asked in an indistinct voice, "My queen, might your request be a bit too harsh? The Forest of Freedom is so vast and now that Zhai Xing Lou is gone, it will not be a big deal even if we have to share it equally with Yan Luo Dian."
Meng Fusheng didn't understand why Ji Fengyan would suddenly raise the issue of control over the Forest of Freedom. From his point of view, Chi Tong was already very amenable and had no objections to Ji Fengyan's plans to establish a kingdom. But she had now put him in a tough spot.
