Gong Liwei always felt a bit uneasy being around Nie Xiwang.
It was natural, as the latter used to be the famous Blade Empress, the highly rumored and to an extent infamous ruler of the Empire that Gong Liwei was once just a citizen of.
Of course, she was a noble by birth, and had her own share of fame as the Beauty of the Eastern Forest Province, but her noble family was a small provincial one without any power, and her fame, as she saw it, was only of a provincial beauty.
Gong Liwei saw that Nie Xiwang wasn't a bad person or even a scary one, at least when she was not fighting, as she was quite a bit scary in combat, but she also could not bring herself to think of the Blade Empress as someone she could casually speak to, let alone treat like an equal.
