The others remained motionless.
“Bowing to the prince? Don’t make me laugh. Can a bastard like him, who even the royal family can’t kill, deserve such respect?”
Jia Wen felt humiliated when he heard that. He clenched his fists in anger.
The tempting words echoed in his mind once again: Jia Wen, are you willing to inherit the throne of the Holy Kingdom and become its ruler?
Jia Wen was now willing to become a member of the territory. He was willing to be Su Wan’s servant and willing to give everything for revenge!
His anger would bring down the Holy Kingdom!
After Jia Wen left, Su Wan looked at Xu Yuan.
“Lord Su Wan, Lord Xu Yuan, do we really need to get involved in the struggle for the throne of the Holy Kingdom?” asked Mestre hesitantly.
Although the king was already old, he was not incapacitated.
The heir to the throne had not been established, but there were rumors of a decision being made. It wouldn’t be wise to intervene in something like that.
“We don’t have many pawns in our hands, but making the next move may have unexpected effects,” Su Wan said.
Even if they failed, it wouldn’t have a significant impact on them. With a demigod-level artifact as a reward, they would strive to overcome any difficulties they encountered. However, this matter needed careful planning.
It was as difficult as climbing the sky for a prince with no foundation to ascend to the throne. But it was precisely because of the difficulty that the ultimate reward would be sweeter. When they met Archduke Qing You, they could discuss more about it.
There were footsteps outside the door.
“Lord Su Wan, Lord Xu Yuan, the City Lord’s Mansion sent an invitation card, inviting you to attend the banquet tonight.” The winged messenger handed a golden invitation card to Su Wan.
“Mestre, you and Xu Yuan will accompany me to the banquet. This way, we can expand the network of connections for the Lavender Business Guild and let everyone know that we need their support.” Su Wan put the invitation card aside.
She had been looking forward to meeting Archduke Qing You for a long time.
A legendary cultivator, the ruler of Canglan City, and the archduke of the Holy Kingdom. Those titles held immense weight.
He was a ruler who controlled the destiny of millions of people.
Archduke Qing You, the ruler of Canglan City, belonged to the top group of people in any country in the Main Plane.
What impressed Su Wan was that they didn’t previously even have the opportunity to attend banquets, let alone communicate with such a person. Now, their territory had developed to the point where it could stand on equal footing with Canglan City.
Their efforts had finally paid off.
As the sun began setting, the sky was filled with colorful hues, and the glass of the residential houses reflected beautiful colors.
The convoy from the Lavender Business Guild slowly made its way towards the city center.
At this moment, Bayion was still a bit drowsy. But the jolt of the carriage woke her up.
“Lord Xu Yuan, did Prince Jia Wen say anything when he came to see you? For example, offering the Tasiria Plane to the Holy Kingdom?” she asked as she squeezed close to Xu Yuan.
“Or perhaps the Holy Kingdom wants to bestow the title of Marquis on Su Wan so that she would hand over the Tasiria Plane for the royal family to manage.”
Bayion chatted with Xu Yuan while gripping the strengthening crystal he had given her.
“You’re thinking too much. 1 will discuss the matter of Jia Wen with your father,” Xu Yuan said.
Perhaps they wouldn’t have to wait long for Prince Jia Wen to become the most esteemed guest in Canglan City.
“Even beggars know about the third prince’s background. If it weren’t for those great noble families coveting the Tasiria Plane, how could he have the qualifications to represent the Holy Royal Family? Where does the honor come from?” Bayion clearly doubted Jia Wen’s intentions.
Xu Yuan pinched her delicate face playfully but didn’t explain anything further.
He and Su Wan had some preparations to make for Jia Wen’s ascension to the throne, but they still had to see how Archduke Qing You would react to the news.
They arrived in front of the City Lord’s Mansion.
The guards around were vigilant, and the army kept a close watch on the surroundings.
No one dared to approach this restricted area, and the residents on the street could only stand outside the perimeter line.
Today, the restricted area seemed unusually vast, as if something significant was about to happen. Many residents and Lords stopped in their tracks as they passed by. They wanted to see what would happen in this place tonight.
Soon, a luxurious carriage slowly arrived and entered the heavily guarded central area.
Everyone’s eyes widened, their faces filled with disbelief and shock.
When the carriage stopped, a tall figure wearing plain robes personally opened the carriage door.
“Archduke Qing You!” The residents exclaimed in astonishment.
Who could make Archduke Qing You open their carriage in the whole city? Everyone was shocked.
The surrounding army acted quickly and blocked the view from the outside. They couldn’t see what was happening inside.
Su Wan wasn’t startled by Archduke Qing You’s actions. After getting out of the carriage, she smiled calmly at him.
“This is my father, Lord Su Wan. Father, these are the people 1 mentioned to you. This is Lord Su Wan and this is Lord Xu Yuan,” said Bayion as she introduced them.
The three of them looked at each other.
This was their first meeting, and the relationship between them was somewhat delicate due to the events in the Tasiria Plane and Su Wan’s reputation as a Godslayer.
But the person who truly caught Archduke Qing You’s attention was the powerful and mysterious Xu Yuan, who was charismatic and exuded a majestic aura.
“Please accept my humble greeting, Archduke Qing You,” said Su Wan politely.
“I, President Mestre of the Lavender Business Guild, greet you humbly, Archduke Qing You. It’s an honor to finally meet you,” said Mestre with a bow.
“Hello!” said Xu Yuan.
Archduke Qing You stood over two meters tail, with an aura that was as sturdy as a mountain.
Underneath his plain robes, it seemed like the body of a beast was hidden.
As Ascetics, they couldn’t wear any equipment and relied on the strength of their own bodies to fight.
Ascetics who had reached the pinnacle of cultivation could even battle dragons, wrestle Titans, and clash with giants.
Their combat strength was so incredibly strong that it was beyond anyone’s imagination..
