As our eyes met, time seemed to stand still. I steadied my breath, hiding the unease coursing through my body.
‘Why?’
Why is that here?
The figure waved lightly, as if to greet me. Violet-tinged hair shimmered under the sunlight, complemented by brighter, luminous eyes. Her striking appearance reminded me of someone else entirely.
It was the same image I had seen before heading to the Northern Sea.
If this was no illusion…
‘Why is she here?’
I don’t like how the flame phoenix just accepts cheonma. She obviously saw how freaked out yangcheon was when she mentioned what cheonma looked like. And how the black palace lord was obviously her underling and that he had sacrificed a bunch of things to cheonma and she still acts like nothings suspicious about her? A lot of the female characters are dumb for the sake of being dumb. Hee-ah is personally one of my favorites.
When he asked the branch leader to describe how she looked to her she described her a little differently then how cheonma actually looks, so he assumed that cheonma was using something to alter her appearance in peoples eyes, so most likely the sword phoenix didn't recognize her either .
Meant the sword phoenix not flame.
Thanks
