Xiao Qiye
Huh... So we're playing things in this manner, this makes taking over the world a bit more complicated. Upside, pretty sure we can safely say that the Ning family is more than meets the eye if it's willing to fight one of the those powers behind the imperial clan. Guessing Xiao Yun is also one of these existences but I'm more interested in seeing how author wants to tow the line between offending the Imperial Family and not getting into enough trouble to warrant them asking for help.
