The meeting lasted for quite some time as Wang Wei had many things to review before everyone was dismissed. However, one person remained behind to have a private conversation with Wang Wei: it was Empress Dong Lifen.

Wang Wei moved his head to his side and looked at her still sitting in her Phoenix Throne and asked, "Do you have anything else to say to me?"

Dong Lifen then stood up, bowed properly and said, "I would like to thank your majesty for keeping his words and treating the people as well as you do."

Wang Wei waved his hand and replied, "Rise. There is no need to thank me. As I said before, this is just a trial to me and doing so will benefit me greatly."

"That may be true, your majesty," answered Dong Lifen, still in the bowing posture. "However, I have seen the information about the other kingdoms and dynasties. None of your peers spent so much time and effort on the livelihood of the people."

"Although the lives of the common people have improved dramatically, compared to the changes in our kingdom And all of this is due to your majesty's divine vision."

Wang Wei smiled and held her up.

"You can rise now, and I will accept your praise." After setting her down in her throne, he suddenly asked.

"I've been wondering, why are you still in the Body Refining Realm 11th Layer? With your talent and cultivation resources you have access to, you should have long entered the Divine Sea Realm."

Dong Lifen--who was in the process of brewing tea for Wang Wei--suddenly paused and a stiff smile was stuck on her face. Then she continued as if nothing ever happened.

"I'm just making sure that my foundation is very solid in each realm, that's all."

However, the observant Wang Wei still caught on to her actions and seemed to have thought something.
