He knew who those sparkling eyes belonged to whom

The emperor had been investigating since the moment he heard that the celestial bird perched on Qing Yang's palm yesterday. The celestial bird knew the emperor well. when the palace issues was over, the emperor came again to the spring pavilion to meet the celestial bird. Asking her what the hell made her perched-on Qing Yang's palm. and the answer was that she felt a phoenix aura attach to her. This answer increased the emperor's curiosity even more.

Qing Yang was a human how could there be a phoenix aura on her body. And if there was, he would have felt it. What's more he had met and spent time with her several times, and he didn't feel anything. Other than feelings, he felt an indescribable calm and attraction towards Qing Yang. So, he put aside his curiosity for the time being as there was no basis for drawing conclusions on such an obscure matter.

But today the spark in Qing Yang's eyes made him draw a conclusion that couldn't be ignored. Because he knew who those sparkling eyes belonged to whom. To be sure again he had to get concrete evidence that what he thought was true.

That's why he put the urge on Qing Yang to reveal it herself. This really wasn't something he should have done because he didn't carelessly use his powers on humans. He wants natural things to happen to the people around him. So that this earth feels in balance between the real world and the astral world. But great curiosity pushed him to do it.

And in the end, both of his suspicions were answered in Qing Yang's explanation.

"Hmm… it seems so Your Majesty…" she answered uncertainly in an almost whispering voice. For him the emperor had very sharp hearing so he could still hear Qing Yang's words.

The emperor was very happy that the person he loved so much and had been missing for a long time he could find. And now sitting in front of him with a confused look on her face mixed with worry.

A moment later, as the overflowing joy began to fade, a sense of anxiety arises, its Hai Zian. The emperor's eyes narrowed aimlessly. He knew if he glared at Qing Yang it would make her even more restless and anxious. So, he put on a face full of authority like the nature of an emperor in general and has always been, which he also did in front of Qing Yang. of course, only in the palace environment. Outside the palace the emperor acted like a commoner who mingled with his people.

From Qing Yang's story he knew not all memories were recovered because all she remembered was only about the life she had with Hai Zian. and he knows is what causes it.

He was eager to take Qing Yang to the tree of life and asked her to drink one more of the dew of dreams and hopes so that she could recall the full memory of the phoenix's past life. But he had to postpone it first. Because if he does now. He knew very well that the phoenix would disappear again and this time he didn't know how long until the phoenix decided to appear again.

Even though the phoenix didn't tell him why she disappeared but at least he could guess the reason behind the phoenix's disappearance.

So, he decided to first clear up the thing that made the phoenix disappear without a trace. Its Hai Zian.

The emperor did not want to be rash in his actions. Because the role played by Hai Zian contributes to the welfare of the earth as well as the universe. He had to devise a strategy. What steps should be taken to keep Hai Zian from doing things that he hoped would cause disaster on earth and the universe. Also, to prevent the phoenix from trying to disappear again.

"You need rest, let me take you to one of the guest rooms so you can rest" After saying that the emperor stood up. He reached out his right hand to Qing Yang while smiling widely at her.

Qing Yang was filled with confusion and anxiety, stunned silent at the emperor's invitation. her brows furrowed, her eyes met the emperor's with her restless eyes. She tried to understand the emperor's intentions, but the smiling face the emperor showed her, made her not know whether to follow the emperor's advice or not.

On the one hand, she was indeed very sleepy, she thought that if she forced the situation, it would be useless, because she would definitely not be able to receive such a mindful lesson, but it would be disappointing to the emperor as well.

On the other hand, she felt it was inappropriate for her to just follow the emperor's advice. she was very embarrassed to be in front of the emperor. if she had the power to disappear in an instant then she would do it that in an instant.

Resigned, she accepted the emperor's outstretched hand, stood up and followed the emperor out of the spring pavilion with her wrist still in the grip by the emperor's hand, crossing the connecting bridge, tracing corridor one another until finally arriving at a building neither too big nor too small.

In front of the door of the building there were already four servants standing on both sides of the door.

When Bing Wen heard that the emperor wanted to take Qing Yang to rest, he immediately ordered another palace guard to prepare a room for her to use. Bing Wen raised his right hand and waved at the two maids who were near the door to open the door to the room.

The Emperor and Qing Yang climbed the steps of the guest room. Entering the room, the emperor immediately led her to bed and asked to rest there.

At first Qing Yang was hesitant but because of the emperor's insistence she finally climbed onto the bed and lay down there. The emperor tugged the blanket over her body.

The emperor caressed Qing Yang head while saying "Sleep" and the second the emperor finished saying those words, her eyes slowly closed, and she fell into a deep sleep. After a while heard her breathing gradually turn even. The emperor stood up but remembering Qing Yang's story he didn't want to risk the same thing happening to her like last night. Before he left, he put protection around Qing Yang so that nothing could disturb her rest. Especially by Hai Zian.

Then the emperor turned his body, his face that was smiling broadly and full of tenderness, suddenly turned serious with cold eyes staring straight ahead. If ordinary people saw it, they would judge that the emperor was angry, but that's not the case.

With firm steps, the emperor left Qing Yang out of the guest room, descended the steps, and walked to the building next to the guest room where Qing Yang rested.

The building the emperor was now in was his study room. Bing Wen, who from the spring pavilion followed the emperor, walked one step behind the emperor until to this study room, standing on the right side before the emperor. when the emperor sat down at his desk chair. Bing Wen bowed then said. "Your Majesty, Hai Zian is currently at the Phoenix residence, and is preparing to summon her consciousness there. As per Qing Yang's request to wake her up when the birds have come to play with her"

Bing Wen was no ordinary human, he was Xuan Ti's loyal guard, ever since Xuan Ti took the lordship of the celestial emperor to maintain the balance of the universe. And he knew very well every action that Xuan Ti would take on everything that was happening around Xuan Ti. And he did it as efficiently as possible. Whenever, wherever Xuan Ti gave him orders. Sometimes even before being ordered he has done it first.

The emperor glanced at Bing Wen, nodded his head slightly. Then waited quietly at his desk chair. He leaned this body to the backrest chair. He knew very well that Hai Zian would appear before him in a moment.

With a snap of a finger sound, Hai Zian's body immediately appeared and stood before the emperor, narrowing his eyes at the emperor but still in the context of politeness, who sat opposite him with a calm face.

"Your Majesty, I believe that Your Majesty already knows what is going on. therefore, I would like request permission to invite Qing Yang to the phoenix residence, as this is of her own volition." Hai Zian spoke with the tone of voice he should have spoken to the emperor as usual.
