Shi Lang was reading a book when he saw Amelia's message. The terran took a deep breath and told her to deal with the issue how she deemed fit. He did not know why Zither Soul sought an alliance, but he would not force his wife into this connection. 

Amelia was a person of her own and had her ideas. After the small exchange, they both went to their things. The tournament was approaching, and Shi Lang wanted to do good. He advised Amelia to do the same, and the lady agreed. 

They both had forces of their own. They needed to nurture these forces into something that could give them a steady foothold in the immortal realm. Shi Lang did not intend to rely on Tian Long. It was not that he did not trust the guy, but he was a man of his ideas. 

Shi Lang shook off these thoughts and focused on the books before him. He had a long way to go in this field. He was engrossed in the book, unaware of the chaos he had raised in the forger city.
