Yun Ziheng also stepped forward, "I also think His Highness the Crown Prince's idea is good. Although we don't know what the congratulatory gift Luo Luo and the others have prepared, presenting this gift to the Xuan Cang Continent is an opportunity for our Sumeru Continent to appear in the sight of the Ten Continents for the first time."

Those who are kind to me, I will repay with the whole country; those who are unkind to me, I will settle scores with them. We do not provoke trouble, nor are we afraid of trouble.

Now that the Xuancang Continent has sent an invitation, we must not only do as His Highness instructed, showing the messenger the goodwill extended by our Xumi Continent, but also prepare a special gift for the messenger to take back.”

“Yes, that’s right. Uncle is very thoughtful. But what should we give as a gift?” Mo Junye smiled when he heard that both of his uncles supported him. His eyes lit up when he heard Yun Ziyu’s words.

Yun's father looked at Xiao Jue, "Young Master Xiao, do you have any thoughts?"

Mo Junye immediately looked at Xiao Jue, his eyes darting around, yet also filled with anticipation.

Xiao Jue smiled and said, "Why don't we first summon the ministers for a small meeting, listen to their opinions, and then discuss and decide on a decision?"

Mo Junye's eyes dimmed, and he felt a little disappointed, but he didn't show it on his face.

Xiao Jue glanced at Mo Junye and smiled inwardly. He was still too naive. As the ruler of a country, it was not a good thing for him to let others affect his emotions.

But he also felt a pang of sadness; being forced to grow up must have been tough on him.

Mo Junye quickly adjusted his mindset and smiled, "Alright, I guess those ministers have heard about this commotion too. I'll urgently summon them to discuss this matter."

The ministers, who had one day left before the end of their holiday, all received an urgent summons from His Highness the Crown Prince. They changed into their official robes and rushed to the palace, and they all had a pretty good idea of ​​what was going on.

The other continents, who were lurking in the capital to gather information, had also heard the commotion and returned to the rendezvous point, puzzled, to report the situation to their superiors.

"This is really strange. What's going on on the Xuan Cang Continent? First, the herbalist treated their king's illness, and then they invited the Sumeru royal family to a banquet. Could it be that the herbalist really saved Xuan Ming?" The people of the Seventh Continent gathered in a courtyard to discuss this matter.

"Commander, I heard that the medicine man is the Empress of the Sumeru Continent. If this Empress saves Xuan Ming, it would be reasonable for Xuan Ming to personally invite the Sumeru royal family to the wedding banquet. But will the Sumeru Continent agree? After all, if the medicine man is used as medicine, the Empress must be dead by now, right?" A scarred man with a horizontal scar on his face said coldly.

"The news that came last night is that he is not dead, and Xuanming did not use any drugs on anyone," said a middle-aged man in a gray robe standing next to the commander, frowning.

Upon hearing this, the scarred man was startled. His eyes widened, his brows furrowed, and the scar on his face, running from his left brow bone to behind his right ear, distorted with his facial movements, making him look increasingly terrifying.

He exclaimed in shock, "What? Xuanming didn't use the medicine on people? Why is Xuancang Continent doing this? Is he openly protecting Xumi Continent? What is it about Xumi Continent that makes Xuancang Continent risk becoming enemies with the other seven continents?"

"Commander, what should we do now?" Scarface hurriedly asked the commander, who was sitting at the stone table, holding a teacup in his hand, and had not said a word.

The commander, dressed in loose black clothes, had an indifferent expression. "In the past hundred years, the Xuancang Continent has only used the secret method of transmitting messages twice. The first time was ten years ago, when Xuanming stopped attending court due to illness. There was turmoil in other continents and the Xuancang Continent. Xuanming used the secret method to transmit messages in order to suppress the unrest in other continents."

As he spoke, he recalled the scene from that time.

At that time, Xuanming was only about ten years old, yet he possessed terrifying strength. After that secret transmission, other continents became wary of the strength of Xuancang Continent, and the turmoil quickly subsided, with peace returning to the continents.

Needless to say, within the Xuancang Continent, those who were timid had already disbanded their forces after hearing the message, while the bolder ones, after being suppressed, were willing to obey the court's orders and dared not have any objections to Xuanming no longer attending court and the Grand Tutor acting as regent.

Ten years have passed since this incident, and some people have already forgotten about it.

Everyone's expression changed upon hearing this.

"Then, should we... should we still move on this Sumeru Continent?" a timid soldier asked cautiously.

Everyone looked at the person sitting on the stone bench with curious eyes.

The middle-aged man in gray who had spoken earlier spoke up, "Invitations from other continents were simply delivered by messengers without using any secret transmission techniques. However, the Sumeru Continent, which is not far from the Xuancang Continent, actually used secret transmission techniques. This shows that the Xuancang Continent is determined to protect the Sumeru Continent."

"Actually, it's not that they're really determined. Maybe it's just an excuse they came up with to put the king and queen of the Sumeru Continent under house arrest?" another voice retorted.

"Or perhaps it's to show its magnanimity and benevolence as the leader of the ten continents. After all, if the Sumeru Continent were divided up by us continents, the Xuancang Continent would become the leader of the nine continents." Everyone had different ideas.

They started discussing it amongst themselves.

Half an hour later, everyone realized that their commander hadn't said a word, so their voices gradually weakened and finally fell silent.

The commander put down his teacup, stood up, and issued an order: "Listen up, everyone! Leave the city within three days and meet at the Purple Bamboo Forest, ten miles away."

"Ah, are we just going to leave like this?" the scarred man asked, somewhat unwillingly.

He continued, "This Sumeru Continent has a gold mine and an iron mine. If we could bring these under our control, given time, our Seventh Continent might become the First Continent. Are we really going to let all our efforts go to waste because of a single telepathic message?"
