Three days later, Mederis arrived in the Sun Moon Empire as an envoy of the Blood Clan. He was dressed in a black robe and wore a silver mask on his face. His emerald green eyes shimmered with an eerie cold light, sending a shiver down anyone's spine.

"Your Excellency, the envoy of the Blood Clan requests an audience with His Majesty the King," a soldier reported to Qizhou, the royal tutor.

"Blood Clan envoy? Let her come and see me!" Qizhou raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, Your Excellency!" The soldier acknowledged before turning and leaving.

Anyone who knew the King of the Sun Moon Empire, Samofield, would know that he was incompetent and debauched. If not for Qizhou, the empire would have been annexed by the other two nations long ago.

Shortly after, Mederis entered the hall, his emerald green eyes swept across the room before stopping on Qizhou, who was seated. "The Blood Clan envoy pays respects to His Majesty Samofield."

"I am not His Majesty Samofield. His Majesty is currently on a secret visit and has not returned. I'm afraid I cannot meet with you, envoy," Qizhou waved his hand. "I am the royal tutor of the Sun Moon Empire and I have the power to handle the affairs of the empire. If you have any important matters, you may speak with me."

"I see! The King of the Sun Moon Empire still cares about the people," Mederis nodded approvingly.

Mederis paused for a moment and continued, "I came to the Sun Moon Empire this time to capture a person."

Mederis then handed a portrait of Iris to Qizhou and said, "I hope Your Excellency can assist me in apprehending this person."

"How can I assist? Besides, the streets and alleys of the Sun Moon Empire are plastered with wanted posters of this person. I believe you must have seen them on your way here," Qizhou looked at the portrait and said to Mederis.

"According to reliable information, Iris came to the Sun Moon Empire to ask for your help in curing Shizhi's throat. So I hope that the royal tutor can assist me in apprehending this person," Mederis said confidently.

"I am Qizhou! Shizhi and Iris have never had any interaction with me. Moreover, these two people have no social status and cannot bring any benefits to the Sun Moon Empire. What qualifications do they have to see me? Isn't that right, Your Excellency, envoy?" Qizhou sneered.

"Qizhou, do you still have any beast milk? Baiying is hungry again," Iris walked out of the palace while holding Baiying.

Iris's voice immediately caught Mederis's attention. He looked up and saw Iris holding a white cub-like creature.

Mederis's gaze instantly became much deeper.

"Qizhou, you are actually harboring a wanted Blood Clan criminal!" Mederis asked with a dark face.

"Wanted criminal? What wanted criminal? She is my sister, Qijing, who just happens to look similar to your wanted Blood Clan criminal," Qizhou shrugged nonchalantly.

"Qizhou, you shouldn't be too arrogant," Mederis roared, and his emerald green eyes gradually turned crimson.

" Your Excellency, please calm down. You are currently the envoy of the Blood Clan. Your actions have already affected the diplomatic relations between our two countries, and your behavior has seriously harmed the dignity of our nation!" Qizhou frowned and warned.

"My sister Qijing may look somewhat similar to the wanted criminal Iris, but she is not Iris. Moreover, the wanted poster describes Iris's right arm as broken, while my sister Qijing's right arm is intact. How can you prove that Qijing is Iris?" Qizhou said calmly.

Iris understood, and ran over to hold Qizhou's clothes, showing a vulnerable demeanor. "Brother, my little pet is hungry. Please find some beast milk for it to drink."

"I know, Little Crane. After I finish dealing with this, I will help you feed Baiying," Qizhou replied.

"Okay, okay." Iris obediently nodded.

The two of them sang in unison, showing the doting affection of an elder brother towards his younger sister.

Listening to their conversation, Mederis was about to explode. He knew very well that this so-called Qijing was Iris, both in appearance and voice. This Qizhou was simply spouting nonsense, claiming that Iris was his sister.

"Your Excellency, how do you explain the blood-red eyes of Qijing? That is a characteristic of the Blood Clan. Generally, young Blood Clan members have red eyes," Mederis said.

"You don't know, but Xiaohe has been cursed by the curse series mage, which is why her eyes have turned blood-red. In her vision, everything can only be seen in black and white," Qizhou explained.

"Nonsense!""Iris is Iris, Qihe is Qihe. Your Excellency, please do not confuse them," Qi Zhou's voice was filled with anger.

"You... You... You are simply causing trouble. I will report this to Her Majesty," Meredith said in anger and embarrassment, then turned around and tried to leave.

"If the Crimson Empire dares to have any ideas against my sister, the Sun and Moon Empire will accompany them to the end," Qi Zhou's expression was filled with gloom and hostility.

Meredith suddenly stopped in her tracks, turned around, and stared at Qi Zhou fiercely. She said angrily, "Fine, I want to see what the Sun and Moon Empire is capable of!"

After speaking, Meredith angrily left.

After Meredith left, Qi Zhou looked at Iris and said, "Let's go, Your Highness, I'll take you to get some beast milk to feed your summoning creature."

"Qi Zhou, did I come too early? I collided head-on with that blood royal envoy," Iris said with some concern.

"Your Highness, there is no need to worry. The Crimson Empire is nothing to fear," Qi Zhou said calmly.

Then Qi Zhou took some beast milk and began feeding Bai Ying.

...

Meanwhile, Ji Lu Leng was at the Adventurer Hall in the Sun and Moon Empire, looking for some simple quests. After all, angels also needed to eat.

When Ji Lu Leng saw the wanted poster for Iris, she was greatly surprised. "This person is worth so much!"

Although the wanted poster for Iris was posted everywhere, there were always some remote villages and towns where it might not have reached. Coincidentally, the village where Ji Lu Leng lived was one such place.

When taking on quests, it was best to choose the ones with the highest rewards. Moreover, Ji Lu Leng was the second-ranked smart angel, so if she were to encounter this wanted criminal named Iris, she could easily capture her and make a living.

She had the thought, but encountering this wanted criminal named Iris also required luck. Ji Lu Leng decided to accept some small quests first to earn some Bella and have some money for food.

Ji Lu Leng went to the reception desk and planned to find tasks that would provide a high amount of Bella.

"Miss, do you have an adventurer level card?" the receptionist asked politely.

"Um... I don't seem to have one," Ji Lu Leng shook her head.

"Alright!" The receptionist then handed Ji Lu Leng a few incredibly simple quests.

Tasks like picking apples, farming, chopping trees, gathering herbs, and so on, these kinds of tasks.

Ji Lu Leng looked at these quest scrolls and twitched the corners of her mouth a few times. She muttered to herself, "These are too simple. Who do these humans think they are looking down upon?"

She was the second-ranked smart angel, why was she doing these low-level tasks?

"Do you have any slightly more advanced quests? These are too low-level," Ji Lu Leng frowned and said.

The receptionist rolled her eyes upon hearing this, thinking, "Why do young people nowadays always want to take on high-difficulty quests right from the start?"

"You are not qualified to take on high-difficulty quests. The Adventurer Association stipulates that only Intuition Level A adventurers have the qualifications to take on tasks as they please. This is to ensure your safety," the receptionist patiently explained.

Before Ji Lu Leng could say anything, the receptionist urged her to leave and proceeded to recommend tasks to other adventurers.

"Forget it, these quests will do! I'll earn some money to buy food!" Ji Lu Leng thought to herself.

Soon, Ji Lu Leng found the locations provided by the quest givers and entered a rundown farmhouse. The yard was filled with crops like rice and potatoes.

She complained in her mind, "I, the noble smart angel, have to rely on physical labor to earn some Bella."

For the sake of living expenses, Ji Lu Leng could only swallow her pride and work as a farmer.

Ji Lu Leng adeptly handled the crops, as she and her 'sister' often did such tasks.

Not long after, Ji Lu Leng's stomach grumbled, causing her face to turn red.

"Just a little longer. After finishing this work, I'll have money to buy food," Ji Lu Leng gritted her teeth and continued working.

...

"Qi Zhou, can I go out for a walk?" Iris asked.

"Of course," Qi Zhou smiled and replied.

"Will I be recognized as a wanted criminal with my appearance?" Iris asked worriedly.

Only the severed arm is Iris, and the right arm of the Queen is intact, so there is no need to worry," Qi Zhou said.

Upon hearing Qi Zhou's words, Iris heaved a sigh of relief. Then she went out to the street with Qi Zhou by her side.People on the street were all staring at Iris. Who wouldn't recognize her priceless face?

At the same time, people were also confused. Why was the National Teacher with a fugitive? Did the National Teacher capture the fugitive?

This confusion lingered in the minds of the mages, and they discussed it one after another.

Under the gaze of everyone, Qi Zhou and Iris walked into a clothing store.

The female shop assistant immediately greeted the National Teacher when she saw him entering. When her gaze fell on Iris, her heart skipped a beat. Her confusion was the same as the people on the street. Why would the National Teacher have the fugitive Iris with him?

But as a shop assistant, she was still very professional and smiled, saying, "Hello, National Teacher! May I ask which clothes you would like to choose today?"

"It's not me choosing, it's my younger sister, Qi He, who is choosing," Qi Zhou smiled and said.

"Little He, go with the shop assistant to choose the clothes," Qi Zhou said.

"Okay," Iris obediently nodded and followed the shop assistant towards the direction of the wardrobe.

Iris understood Qi Zhou's intention very well. He wanted to tell everyone on the street in this way that she was Qi He, not Iris. She could only cooperate with Qi Zhou to play this role, so that in the future, she would appear on the streets as Qi He.

Seeing the National Teacher coming, the store manager quickly poured tea. "National Teacher, is there anything else you need?"

"No need to trouble yourself. I just came to help my sister choose a few clothes. She's already in the dressing room," Qi Zhou smiled and replied.

"National Teacher, your sister seems to resemble that fugitive Iris," the store manager asked tentatively.

"Yeah, it's quite similar, but Iris's right arm is broken, while Little He's right arm is intact, isn't it?" Qi Zhou asked in return.

"Hehe, yes, what the National Teacher said is true," the store manager laughed and said.

"Qi He and I are half-siblings, but her eyes have been cursed with dark magic, which makes her eyes red. Everything appears black and white in her eyes," Qi Zhou sighed.

"Brother! How do I look in this outfit?" A lovely girl ran out of the fitting room, wearing a white dress with a white silk belt tied around her waist. The bells hanging from the belt jingled, matching her snow-white skin.

She wore a pair of white lace stockings on her legs and white shoes on her feet, making her look very cute.

"Yeah, you look good in anything," Qi Zhou smiled and said. He casually picked up a white veil and put it on Qi Luan's head, covering half of Iris's face.

"Thank you, brother!" Iris sweetly smiled and said.

"You're welcome."

"How much in total?" Qi Zhou asked.

"Two thousand and five Bela in total," the store manager answered.

After Qi Zhou paid, he held Iris's hand and left.
