REBIRTH OF THE QUEEN

Are they talking about the same person? Or just a coincidence?

Armed with the memories of the previous owner of the body, Fu Xie Lan then walked towards the royal palace, precisely to find out more detailed information about the competition.

As she stepped closer to the royal palace, the houses seen on the left and right sides of the road seemed to be getting closer and closer.

Fu Xie Lan and the others only walked to the palace because it wasn\'t too far from where they were buying clothes.

It was noon and the sun was scorching hot, even though it was just a few moments ago that it was raining heavily.

Some of the royal guards and soldiers were seen passing by on horses or just walking times in groups.

Fu Xie Lan\'s steps suddenly stopped. "Have you ever entered the palace?" asked the girl turning to Qiao and Lim.

"N-no," replied Lim, surprised that Fu Xie Lan suddenly engaged them to speak.

Hearing that, Fu Xie Lan just nodded silently and then resumed walking.

"Why Xie Lan?" asked Wan Li.

"It\'s okay," the girl replied without turning her head.

The gates of the royal palaces came into view, several people were seen gathering in one place in front of the gates, if Fu Xie Lan\'s judgment was correct, there was information regarding the competition that would be held in there.

Fu Xie Lan and Gu Yi slowly split the group of people while the other five people just followed closely behind towards the bulletin board, to be precise in the front row.

\'Martial Competition.\'

Reading the inscription, a faint smile was etched on Fu Xie Lan\'s lips behind her mask.

Registration will open tomorrow, the competition is divided into two types. Individuals and groups, groups are only allowed to participate if there are three people.

Five neighboring kingdoms are participating in this competition, and registration will take place in the Zu kingdom.

Three days after registration opened, those from outside the Zu kingdom were provided with temporary accommodation until the competition was over.

Meanwhile, participants who are hosts are only allowed to stay one day before the start of the competition.

The competition will last for three days, during which all participants are not allowed to leave the palace.

Just a glance and Fu Xie Lan already understood all the contents of the announcement. After everything was clear, Fu Xie Lan immediately walked away from there.

But before that, her steps stopped for a few minutes and looked at the palace gate, who knows what was in the girl\'s mind, no one knows.

"Where are we going, Xie Lan?" Xue Ning asked after walking away from there.

The girl who was asked did not answer, not even Fu Xie Lan turned her head towards Xue Ning. All of the painful memories spun like broken records in her head and they managed to distract her focus, giving rise to ripples and expressions that were different from usual. The girl\'s sharp gaze was piercing and cold, even though she was wearing a mask but it was not able to hide her cold aura.

Seeing the look on Fu Xie Lan\'s face which was suddenly different from usual, Xue Ning didn\'t dare to ask further and chose to slow down her steps and match Ju Xian\'s position again.

Everything that happened to Fu Xie Lan did not go unnoticed by Gu Yi and Wan Lie. Even so, the two men didn\'t ask anything.

"Is something bothering you?" Gu Yi asked after pondering and finally decided to ask because Fu Xie Lan\'s expression couldn\'t calm him down.

Hearing Gu Yi\'s words, all the things that were bothering Fu Xie Lan\'s mind were instantly dispelled.

Turning to the source of the voice, Fu Xie Lan\'s violet eyes meet with Gu Yi\'s gray eyes beneath his mask.

"What is it?" asked Fu Xie Lan.

"I should be the one asking, something bothering you?" Gu Yi asked.

Fu Xie Lan was silent, turned her face away from Gu Yi, and continued on her way.

Seeing Fu Xie Lan\'s response, a faintly harsh sigh escaped the Lord\'s lips.

"Okay, don\'t tell me if you don\'t like it, Queen," Gu Yi said again, one of his hands wrapped around Fu Xie Lan\'s shoulder from the side, tighter than before. Even so, the girl didn\'t refuse or protest in the slightest.

"We should find a place to rest for the night, my body is a little tired," said Fu Xie Lan in a very flat tone of voice.

"Alright," Gu Yi replied without asking again.

Wan Lie who heard Fu Xie Lan\'s words, immediately turned around and matched his pace with Qiao and Lim.

"Do you know about the inn is near from here?" Wan Lie asked Qiao.

"Inn?" Qiao repeated, looking left and right as if observing where they were.

"From the front to be exact at the second intersection from here, it looks like there is an inn there. Yes, if I remember correctly," Qiao replied then turned to Lim as if asking the man to help him answer Wan Lie\'s question.

Qiao and Lim visited the Zu royal city very often, so they must know a lot of places.

Meanwhile, Lim who received a gaze from Qiao only showed his innocent face.

.

"Xie Lan, there is an inn close by," said Wan Lie, matching his steps with Fu Xie Lan.

Seeing this, Gu Yi immediately removed his arm from Fu Xie Lan\'s body and shifted his position to the side of Wan Lie. He becomes an Intermediary between the young man who is his son and Fu Xie Lan.

He had just reunited with the girl after a few days, and he wasn\'t willing to share it with anyone even with Wan Lie. Let alone share, he was not even willing if anyone approached Fu Xie Lan.

Seeing Gu Yi\'s childish behavior, Wan Lie sighed and rubbed his face roughly.

Why can his father be so possessive? He who even their child was not allowed to approach Fu Xie Lan, his mother.

Hearing Wan Lie\'s words, Fu Xie Lan turned to the side and only Gu Yi\'s face could be seen.

"Keep your face away," said Fu Xie Lan pushing Gu Yi\'s face far away from in front of her face.

"Alright, we\'ll be there," Fu Xie Lan replied in response to Wan Lie\'s words walking next to Gu Yi.

"Let Qiao lead the way," said Wan Lie.

"I don\'t need," Fu Xie Lan replied.

"Alright," Wan Lie then stepped back into his position because his father\'s eyes had been very unfriendly to him since earlier.

"How? Do I need to show you the way?" Qiao\'s voice from behind entered Wan Lie\'s sense of hearing.

"No," Wan Lie replied.

"Okay," Qiao said back.
