Lan Moqian stood up with a wooden expression. Without looking at Ning Chenen, they simply walked out, preparing to ascend the sky.
"Wait a moment," Ning Chenen suddenly spoke.
Lan Moqian paused in their steps. "What is it?" Their voice was low, yet they didn't turn back.
Ning Chenen didn't address them, but instead turned toward the direction of Ancestral Hall Mountain, bowing deeply. "Your Majesty Heavenly Fox, esteemed majesties. This battle is between my wife and me. I cannot fight against her. I concede."
As these words fell, the entire audience erupted in uproar.
Lan Moqian suddenly spun around, staring at Ning Chenen with an expression full of disbelief.
After uttering the words "I concede," Ning Chenen seemed to release a weight from his heart. All the heaviness vanished, replaced by a gentle and warm smile.
