107 The Enemy Awaits

Xing and Shengli were holding hands and found solace in each other while the Emperor got out from his shock and announced the commencement of the finals.

Shengli asked Xing if she wanted to leave that place and go somewhere else when he noted her eyes were fixed on the distant group of trees to the south of the tournament grounds and she looked enraged.

"He is here, Shengli. Shihong is watching us!", Xing said with her eyes fixed there.

"What? Can you see him? ", Shengli tried to look closer in the same direction as her but he could not as the distance was greater.

"No..", Xing knitted her brows as she cannot explain how but she had a feeling, the same feeling she had during the Spring Banquet. But if anyone would believe her, it would be him, the man by her side.

"Alright", he patted her back, "I'll take Seiren and other people to take a look there" he said and turned to leave.
