Chapter 214: Chapter 214-The Ball[2].

Lady Xia, who had been observing quietly, finally spoke, her voice carrying a weight of experience and wisdom. "Azrail, Lower Heavens might offer opportunities, but it's also a realm where trust is a rare commodity. Be cautious in forming alliances, and always anticipate the hidden motives of those around you."

Azrail looked at Lady Xia, the only one to suddenly butt into the conversation. Her voice was low, and while a gentle formation took place from her words, Azrail could see the scowl that passed through Aihan's face in a moment. Liang didn't seem to mind the words at all, but Azrail could see that the rest of the women weren't loving Xia's words at all.

"I will keep that in mind, Lady Xia."

Azrail spoke, his head nodding while Xia just smiled and took a step back. Empress Aihan, sensing the delicate balance of power in the room, decided to shift the conversation toward a more diplomatic terrain.
