"Idiot, the gold and iron mines aren't even in the capital. Now that we've found out, why don't we go check out the gold and iron mines first? Are we just going to stay in the capital and wait for them to find a weakness and capture us?" the man in gray couldn't help but curse.

The commander chuckled. "According to the information we gathered earlier, people from all the continents except the Eighth Continent have come to the capital. Let's wait and see. Moreover, it's still unknown what decision the Sumeru Continent will make. Leave two people in the capital to keep an eye on things."

"Yes, Commander." And just like that, leaving the city was a done deal.

Those who were invited to the royal post station were also unsure of what to do next after hearing Xuanming's telepathic message.

An old man frowned. "Has Xuanming taken the wrong medicine? He didn't use that medicine on anyone, so why is he so eager to invite the Sumeru Continent to the wedding banquet? Is he clearly trying to protect the Sumeru Continent?"

The old man next to him sneered, "Hmph, it's just to show off their status as the number one continent. What's there to worry about? Our focus should be on the response from the Sumeru Continent. The emperor and empress of the Sumeru Continent are on the Xuancang Continent. There's only a child in charge here. I wonder if he can come up with a decent gift."

A middle-aged man stepped out from the crowd and said sarcastically, "This is a bit difficult. Unless they are willing to give gold and iron mines as gifts, they probably won't be able to catch the eye of the Xuancang Continent."

“Impossible. We are determined to get the gold and iron mines. No one is allowed to touch them,” said a young man in a light blue shirt.

"Oh, you're exaggerating. You want to monopolize it? Do you think the rest of the continents are dead?" A woman dressed in red, her face as cold as ice, pointed her sword at the person who had just spoken.

"Do you think I'm afraid of you, Sixth Brother?" the man in the light blue shirt continued.

"Hmph, if we hadn't been late that time, the Fifth Continent would have been ours."

"Alright, stop arguing. It was just a telepathic message, and you've already scared you like this. Look at you all." A young man holding a folding fan said in a calm voice.

"So what do we do now?"

"Let's hold our positions and see how the Sumeru Continent responds first," one of them said.

The group looked at each other, unable to come up with a better solution for the time being.

In the end, they all left with their own thoughts.

A small restaurant on Xuanwu West Street in Beijing.

"What on earth is this Sumeru Continent? We were told we had important things to discuss, but they've left us hanging here for three days. That's outrageous! Ugh, try this, it's delicious." A young man in brocade robes sat at a table by the window, chopsticks in hand, eating while complaining.

That's so unfair! They're messengers! How can they just leave them hanging? This Sumeru Continent really doesn't respect the Xuancang Continent at all.

Wow, this looks delicious too.

The young man in black standing next to him watched him eat as if he hadn't eaten in eight lifetimes, and couldn't help but twitch his lips.

“These past three days, I haven’t seen you keep your mouth shut.” Although he said this, he still picked up his chopsticks to take the dish that the young man in brocade had pointed to.

"Tch, Xuan 108, you've eaten just as much as I have, how dare you say that? Speaking of which, I didn't expect the food on the Sumeru Continent to be so delicious, it's much better than the restaurants back home."

"Don't tell anyone you're from the Xuancang Continent when you go out," Xuan Yibai Lingba said with a look of disdain.

Xuan Jiushijiu, while munching on a crystal pork knuckle, asked in confusion, "Why?"

"The Xuancang Continent can't afford to lose face like this," Xuan Yibailingba said jokingly.

"Xuan Jiushijiu, do you want to fight?" Xuan Jiushijiu said angrily.

While the two were arguing, they suddenly felt a chill all over their bodies. They quickly exchanged a glance, then hurriedly lowered their heads and obediently ate their food.

Yingzhu sat down with a cold face.

Xuan Jiushijiu immediately changed his expression, looking up with a grin, "Boss, you're back! Come and eat, this place we found today is absolutely delicious."

Yingbai gave him a cold look, then sat down and asked in a cold voice, "Didn't you say yesterday that you were having lunch at Fu Ji Restaurant today? Why are you here?"

He went to Fu Kee Restaurant and found it empty, though there were distinctive markings left at the entrance...

He regretted bringing this foodie along.

Xuan Jiushijiu smiled ingratiatingly, "Boss, we went to Fu Ji Restaurant. We were just about to go in when we suddenly smelled a wonderful fragrance. We wanted to find out what could give off such a wonderful aroma, so we followed it..."

"so?"

"So when we got here, we found that the food here was the most delicious. We thought, since we're already here, we might as well eat here. Ouch, boss, I was wrong, be gentle, be gentle." Xuan Jiushijiu was halfway through his sentence when he was hit hard on the head twice and quickly begged for forgiveness.

Yingbai glanced at Xuan Yibai and Lingba, who were watching the show from the side, his eyes darkening. "He's being unreasonable, and you're being unreasonable too?"

Xuan Yibai Ba felt Ying Bai's death gaze and quickly sat up straight. Hearing Ying Bai's question, he first admitted his mistake and then muttered, "I am ranked 108th and he is ranked 99th. He is my senior brother. As a junior brother, how dare I call him senior brother?"

“I regret bringing you out here. Now that we’re in the capital, right under the emperor’s nose, our every move has already reached the palace. Your embarrassing state is probably known to everyone.” Ying Bai rarely spoke so much at once.

The two were stunned upon hearing this, their faces turning slightly red. Xuan Yi 808 said dejectedly, "Ah, no way, boss, don't tell Shadow Lord when we get back, or we'll be beaten to death."
