Since Jiang Yan and his party were heading next to Guifang Kingdom for a so-called welcome banquet, they decided not to return to the Four Great Sects of Huaxia. Moreover, since the Tatar Sea was not too far from the mainland of Guifang Kingdom, Jiang Yan and his companions planned to continue staying at the top-tier restaurant on Treasure Island in Bear Country to rest and prepare briefly before heading directly to Dongxuanjing in Guifang Kingdom for the banquet.
That afternoon, Jiang Yan and his senior sister Fairy Furong suddenly received a long-distance voice transmission from their master, Venerable Shenlong: "Jiang Yan, Furong, you are both top-tier, exceptionally talented disciples of the Divine Flame Sect. Your master believes that you will certainly be able to handle matters over in Guifang Kingdom and even further elevate the mighty reputation of Huaxia. I will say no more—your master wishes you a triumphant victory and a safe return!"
At that same time, Princess Anna Ilyasheva and her entourage from Bear Country also came to the restaurant where Jiang Yan and the others were staying to bid farewell. Princess Anna Ilyasheva said with deep affection, "My dear Huaxia Brother Jiang Yan, I have already reported this to my imperial father, Peter the Great. As long as you have any needs whatsoever, our Bear Country will do our utmost and give you unconditional help. I wish you all the best! I must return to the Moscow Imperial Palace now—goodbye, my dear brother!"
