After the emperor left, Qingyi had to endure a seemingly endless series of rituals.
Finally, they confirmed what was necessary: the pendant had accepted him.
In reality, Qingyi had been rejected in almost all of these rituals.
However, all it took was a slight trace of his bloodline Qi to suddenly solve the entire problem.
Apparently, even magical arrays recognized that, sometimes, it was better to give in so as not to be shattered.
After all this, Qingyi had a long conversation with the bishop.
There, he learned more about the current political situation of the Rose Empire and his true mission.
Of course, the bishop did not say too much.
All Qingyi knew was that, in some way, it had something to do with the ancestral spirit that he and Aeryn had eliminated in that forest.
After all that, Qingyi was released.
He even received his own residence in the capital, decided by the church itself.
