章 746: Arrival

Zi was enlightened from his answer asked in shock.

"So, you were merely gambling?"

Sheyan nodded and replied.

"Yes, but losing the gamble wouldn't worry me."

He glanced at Zi and smiled gently.

"Because, we have her majesty the empress holding the lines."

This was his first time addressing her in that manner. This was because when she stood forth previously, she emanated a dignified and haughty bearing that of royalty. However, that sensation was often quenched by her usual apathy and sense of superiority, and often wearing a guise of coldness. Only during a crisis, would she unsheath her leadership dominance. That was probably why she could lead a large party by herself.

Zi didn't return a smile to him and chose to remain silent. However, Sheyan didn't know that his words would bring about an immense effect for himself in the future. If he could predict the future, he would definitely have kept his lips sealed this time.
