The Seventh Princess decided to stay temporarily. She glanced at Tie Yi behind Tie Si, her innate intelligence and photographic memory were known to few. Even small characters, once seen, could be remembered even years later upon meeting again. Thus, even though the ’Lord of the Mist Capital’ before her greatly differed from her expectations, Tie Yi and those slaves who were once imprisoned were saved by him back then. If not for him, Tie Yi and the others might not have had a good end. Tie Yi and Tie Si were unaware of the Seventh Princess’s thoughts, both sides presented a harmonious front, yet each had their own agenda. Especially Tie Si, who became extremely alert upon hearing the Seventh Princess intended to stay, though her face showed nothing. It must be said, the followers under Liang Zhichen are resilient in psychology, all are talents in their own right. The Seventh Princess settled in the Mist Capital, receiving warm hospitality from the Mist Capital. Meanwhile, Liang Zhichen and others had traveled far. They moved ahead, unknowingly followed by a shadow behind. Qi Xi rode his horse, maintaining a distance neither too near nor too far from behind. The so-called "neither too near nor too far" meant keeping the people ahead in view while ensuring his own safety, not letting them discover his tailing. He was quite cautious in this aspect, after all, he was a thief, and in this Jiangnan Water Land, he was known as the Divine Thief. However, it’s said that skills do not hinder each other, he was not only good at petty thievery, but also adept at tracking. Qi Xi pondered, he couldn’t keep just following behind, what was the point? He fancied Lady Dong, but also could see that Lady Dong’s feelings towards him were quite indifferent. So it’s just someone seen a few times, neither good nor bad, simply nodding acquaintances. But such distant relations, could not satisfy Qi Xi’s ambition. Therefore, he repeatedly calculated, wondering how he could get closer to Lady Dong, how to make Lady Dong have a fondness for him, so that she would marry him. Liang Zhichen and Liang Shuyu were unaware, their spouse had already caught someone’s attention. The brothers were as usual, composed on the surface, but behind the spouse, they often had intense verbal spats, and this intangible warfare lasted until the carriage with the three arrived at South City. South City, the Seventh Princess’s base of operations, famed as a nation within a nation. It’s said that years ago, the Empress went undercover, unexpectedly frightening the horse. The Seventh Princess, in her eagerness to save her mother, took the disaster upon herself. After this incident, the Empress was unharmed, but the Seventh Princess was left with a physical disability. How could a cripple inherit the throne? If she truly ascended, wouldn’t Dayuan become the laughing stock of other nations? From then on, the Seventh Princess took leave of the Capital, distancing herself from the disputes of the Capital under the guise of recuperation. Perhaps moved by the Seventh Princess’s devotion to her mother, the Empress bestowed the prosperous South City upon her as a fief and exempted the city from taxes. Thus, the Seventh Princess became the master of this city. If South City were to become a country, the Seventh Princess would undoubtedly be its ruler. The journey from the Mist Capital to South City was quite time-consuming. At the start, Dong Huiying and Shuyu sat in the carriage, with Zhichen handling the driving.
