"At this time of year, the flowers have all withered."

Li Sangruo chuckled, "This actually doesn't pose a problem for you and me. Winter flowers, summer snow—if one wishes it, can't an emperor command it so?"

Xiao Cheng's brow furrowed slightly.

"Is Qi Jun aware that this conference hall is the work of Feng Twelve?"

Xiao Cheng's expression remained calm, "I've heard something of the sort."

Li Sangruo gave a gentle smile.
