Qiu Ninglu was very surprised to see that her former rival actually stood up and thanked her.

Given the relationship between the two of them, and the other party's status and position, the fact that he was able to bow and thank me at this time was enough to show his sincerity.

But she was also very clear that the other party did this not because of her.

Shaking her head slightly, Qiu Ninglu said calmly: "Your Majesty is too polite. Saving Gu Cheng was my own decision."

Xia Wuyou was slightly stunned, but when he thought of the past between Qiu Ninglu and Gu Cheng, he felt relieved.

After sitting down again, Xia Wuyou smiled and said, "Come to think of it, you and I are from the same sect, right?"

Qiu Ninglu couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this.

Then he immediately recalled the past of the empress in front of him and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is too polite. When I was in Changshengmen, I was just a personal maid who was responsible for taking care of the young master. I was not considered a disciple of Changshengmen."

Xia Wuyou looked at the fateful opponent in front of him. Although his words were very subtle, Xia Wuyou still heard the words "personal maid" deliberately in his words.

Gnawing his teeth lightly, Xia Wuyou asked curiously, "Oh, then why did Sect Leader Qiu leave the Changsheng Sect and join the Tianmo Sect instead?"

When Qiu Ninglu heard Xia Wuyou asking this topic, she was stunned and subconsciously remembered everything that happened at the beginning.

But how can I tell outsiders about the secrets involved?

After coming to her senses, Qiu Ninglu looked at Queen Xia Wuyou who was looking curious and expectant beside her and did not answer the question.

Changing the subject, Qiu Ninglu said with a smile: "My little story is not worth mentioning. It is the Queen's rise from an outstanding disciple of the Changsheng Sect to the Queen of Daxia and the leader of the human race today. This is what makes me very curious."

Unexpectedly, the question was thrown back to him. Xia Wuyou was slightly stunned. At this time, he had a general understanding of the character of this old enemy.

After laughing, Xia Wuyou shook his head and said, "Haha, all of this is due to fate. The reasons are complicated and cannot be explained in a few words."

Hearing Xia Wuyou's words, Qiu Ninglu also smiled and said, "As your majesty said, everything is a matter of time and fate."

"Haha, interesting, interesting!"

The two looked at each other, knew each other's thoughts, and immediately laughed heartily.

After this little episode, the relationship between the two became a little warmer.

"Okay, now that we have finished chatting, it's time to get down to business." Xia Wuyou looked at his old enemy and asked formally, "Master Qiu has agreed to form a temporary alliance with our Great Xia to fight against the Dragon Clan. Is this true?"

Seeing Xia Wuyou's serious expression, Qiu Ninglu said in a very calm tone: "Of course it's true. After all, all the cultivators in the Western Region are also members of the human race. Now facing the invasion of ancient powerful beings like the Dragon Clan, we must fight them to the end."

"That's great. I'm very pleased that Master Qiu is so understanding." Although he knew that the current situation was caused by Gu Cheng, Xia Wuyou was still very surprised that his former enemy could make such a decision.

Qiu Ninglu smiled and continued to say to the queen in front of her: "However, the grudge between the righteous and the evil that has existed for thousands of years cannot be resolved so easily. Although the alliance can be achieved, it still requires both you and me to show our sincerity to each other."

"Of course." Xia Wuyou nodded slightly, and then said: "From now on, no matter which of us is attacked first, the other party must support unconditionally." Qiu Ninglu looked at this opponent deeply, and at this time she also felt a trace of sincerity from his words, so she responded: "In this way, it's a deal!"

The two of them high-fived and swore an oath, and a simple covenant was temporarily completed.

After discussing the main business, Qiu Ninglu looked at her old enemy in front of her, hesitant, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't say it for a long time.

Xia Wuyou naturally noticed Qiu Ninglu's hesitation, and asked directly: "Master Qiu, do you have any other questions?"

Qiu Ninglu hesitated slightly. She originally wanted to ask about Gu Cheng's current condition.

After all, the reason why he agreed to the alliance, in addition to some objective reasons, was more because of Gu Cheng.

But looking at Empress Xia Wuyou who was looking at her calmly, she finally suppressed this question in her heart.

For some reason, in front of this woman, she suddenly didn't want to mention Gu Cheng.

"Nothing." Shaking her head slightly, Qiu Ninglu subconsciously changed the subject and asked another question: "When does His Majesty plan to announce the alliance?"

Xia Wuyou smiled upon hearing this, and said to his old enemy, "This matter is not urgent. Master Qiu has come from afar, so you should take a rest first. After I communicate and discuss with everyone, I will naturally announce this matter to the world."

Although Qiu Ninglu was also anxious to go back, she couldn't rush him at this time, so she just said, "Then let's do as Her Majesty the Queen says."

Seeing this, Xia Wuyou immediately asked someone to take Qiu Ninglu downstairs to rest, but before she could give the order, a maid came in from outside the palace.

Xia Wuyou frowned slightly when he saw this, and asked the maid who came in without his order, "What's the matter?"

After the maid entered the palace and heard the Queen's question, she immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother heard that a distinguished guest was coming, so she sent me here to meet this distinguished guest. I wonder if Your Majesty agrees?"

Xia Wuyou frowned when he heard this, and felt a little puzzled at first when he looked at the maid kneeling on the ground, but soon he seemed to remember something.

I originally sent Huang Yunqing to the West Sea to rescue Gu Cheng, and later Huang Yunqing lived up to my expectations and completed the mission.

I think the two of them must have known each other at that time.

After thinking this through, Xia Wuyou turned his gaze to Qiu Ninglu and said, "I wonder what Sect Leader Qiu has to say. Would you like to meet the Queen Mother?"

Just as Xia Wuyou thought, although she felt a little confused at first as to why the Empress Dowager wanted to see her, Qiu Ninglu soon remembered the identity of the Empress Dowager.

Subconsciously, a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

I think there should be no problem in asking this old friend some topics that are not easy to ask the queen.

Thinking of this, Qiu Ninglu looked at the Empress Xia Wuyou in front of her, smiled slightly and said: "Since the Empress Dowager wants to see me, I will naturally dare not disobey her order." (End of this chapter)
