Ye Futian returned to the Cottage and told everyone about his meeting with the queen.
All from the Nine States were shocked. Queen Xiao was something indeed. If she were to simply order Ye Futian to keep his hands off Xiao Sheng, she would not have been able to influence Ye Futian at all. However, the Queen was taking the soft approach. She rewarded him and never mentioned anything about Xiao Sheng. That ended up dissipating Ye Futian's intent to kill Xiao Sheng altogether. Despite wanting to kill Xiao Sheng still, it would have been a lot more complicated.
