However, when he looked at Chen Yang and Yun Yan, his attitude changed, becoming very respectful.
This left Chen Yang and Yun Yan looking at each other in surprise.
Previously, Zhou Yi was the emperor of the Great Li Dynasty!
He looked down on the Heavenly Sword Sect.
He also looks down on Yunyan!
They look down on Chen Yang even more!
But now,
He referred to Chen Yang and Yun Yan as distinguished guests of the entire Dali Dynasty.
This attitude is completely different from before!
After a brief moment of surprise, Chen Yang and Yun Yan quickly came to their senses.
They simultaneously cupped their hands and bowed to Zhou Yi.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
Although they didn't understand why Zhou Yi's attitude towards their Heavenly Sword Sect had changed.
However, Zhou Yi was, after all, the emperor of the Great Li Dynasty, and their Heavenly Sword Sect still had to give this emperor some face.
Zhou Yi quickly helped the two up and said, "Elder Chen, Sect Master Yun, you don't need to be so polite."
“One of you is my daughter’s savior, and the other is Sect Master Yun. You have always been on good terms with our Great Li Dynasty.”
"You are all my honored guests, there's no need to be so polite."
Upon hearing this...
Chen Yang and Yun Yan looked at each other, unsure of what to say next.
after all.
Zhou Yi was so arrogant towards them before, but now he's acting so humble.
This left them somewhat at a loss for what to do.
"Your Majesty, what brings you here?"
After thinking for a moment, Chen Yang got straight to the point and asked.
Zhou Yi smiled and said, "It's like this, Elder Chen, Sect Master Yun, you are both honored guests of my Great Li Dynasty. Now your Heavenly Sword Sect's competition has ended."
"Therefore, I would like to invite you down the mountain to the palace so that I may host a banquet for you."
Upon hearing this...
Chen Yang and Yun Yan understood.
It turns out that Zhou Yi came here specifically to try and build a good relationship with them!
As the ruler of a country, he personally extended the invitation.
To be honest, this treatment is among the best in the entire Southern Wilderness's top ten sects.
It's estimated that only the Tai Xuan Dao Sect had this privilege before.
But now,
Their Heavenly Sword Sect can now enjoy this treatment too.
That means that in Zhou Yi's eyes, their Heavenly Sword Sect was already comparable to the Tai Xuan Dao Sect.
However.
Faced with the fervent invitation from the emperor of the Great Li Dynasty.
Chen Yang, however, did not want to agree.
He gently shook his head and said in a tactful tone, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, we want to stay here and watch the rest of the matches so that we can better prepare for the matches three days from now."
"Therefore I will not go to the palace with Your Majesty. Please do not blame me."
Chen Yang politely declined Zhou Yi's kind invitation.
Although his actions might offend Zhou Yi and displease the emperor of the Great Li Dynasty.
But Chen Yang couldn't be bothered with all that.
Are the emperors of the Great Li Dynasty really that great?
Chen Yang wasn't afraid of offending anyone.
He knew that the Great Li Dynasty had several Void Realm experts in charge!
But Chen Yang is now at the late stage of the Void Realm.
If he wanted to, he could even destroy the Great Li Dynasty!
Therefore, he didn't take Zhou Yi, the emperor of the Great Li Dynasty, seriously at all.
The fact that he spoke to Zhou Yi so politely was already giving him a lot of face!
Zhou Yi was surprised that Chen Yang would refuse so directly, which made him lose face.
After all, as the emperor of the Great Li Dynasty, no one had ever dared to refuse his invitations in the past.
But now.
Chen Yang rejected him outright.
His expression froze for two seconds before he reacted and said, "Alright, then I won't disturb Elder Chen and Yun Yan watching the match."
Zhou Yi glanced at Chen Yang, then pulled Zhou Ruoying along and turned to leave.
The moment he turned around, Zhou Yi's expression darkened.
After walking a distance, Zhou Yi said disdainfully:
"Hmph! An elder at the Nascent Soul stage really thinks he's someone important, daring to refuse my invitation. Well then, such a person who doesn't know the bigger picture is destined to never amount to anything."
Zhou Yi wasn't angry, just a little annoyed.
"Father, Elder Chen and Sect Master Yun probably just wanted to watch the competition, that's why they refused you. Don't be angry with them."
Zhou Ruoying carefully observed his expression and spoke well of Chen Yang and the others.
After all, Chen Yang was her savior.
Zhou Yi turned to look at her and smiled disdainfully: "I am not so petty as to be angry with them. I just think that an elder in the Nascent Soul Realm is a bit too arrogant."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Ruoying opened her mouth, wanting to explain for Chen Yang, but she didn't know how to do so.
"Alright, let's go back. We'll come back in three days."
Zhou Yi didn't say anything more and turned to leave.
