The Great Northern Emperor: "..."
He was staring at Song Shuhang with a 'you are kidding me, right?' expression.
He and Cheng Lin had known each other since the era of the ancient Heavenly City.
Moreover, he'd had a very good relationship with her before the destruction of the city.
As for how good their relationship was, Cheng Lin had even participated in the construction of the Palace of Winter where he lived. Additionally, even after his home was built, Cheng Lin was given the permission to come and go as she pleased.
Such a relationship had surpassed that of ordinary friends. If it weren't for the destruction of the ancient Heavenly City... there was even a possibility that he and Cheng Lin would have ended up as dao companions.
However, as the destruction of the ancient Heavenly City was due to Cheng Lin, the Great Northern Emperor's feelings for her became very complicated, and so the love and the hate had become entangled.
