Du Ziqiong raised her teacup and said, "Lord Shang, you're too kind! The last time I saw you, you were only at the first level of Immortal Saint cultivation. I never imagined that in just a hundred years, you would have advanced to the second level of Dao!"
Shang Kexi smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Emperor Ziwei! There's a lot of truth in the saying that all those below the Emperor are ants! What is my meager cultivation compared to your Emperor? If I weren't the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, in charge of the sacrifices, rituals, and culture of my Yanhuang region, I wouldn't even be qualified to sit in this top seat today! May I ask who this young man beside you is, Emperor Ziwei?"
Just as Du Ziqiong was about to reply, Lin Caogen interrupted her, saying, "I am also the newly appointed Minister of Culture and Etiquette in Ziwei District! I am in charge of culture and etiquette in my Ziwei District!"
Shang Kexi laughed and said, "So that's how it is! He is indeed young and promising! With only the cultivation of Immortal Emperor 3-star, he has already been able to hold an important position and sit next to the Ziwei Emperor. His future is truly limitless!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Yuanba, who was sitting some distance away, couldn't help but burst out laughing, spitting out a mouthful of ginseng tea!
Shang Kexi was displeased, thinking to himself, "Why are the people that the Ziwei Emperor brought this time so rough? Apart from the three women on her left who are truly beautiful and well-mannered, the rest are just a bunch of crude warriors!"
Lin Caogen took a sip of the ginseng tea and said, "This tea is truly excellent! Lord Shang, when will the Emperor Yanhuang of your region arrive?"
Shang Kexi said with a smile, "Young brother, please don't be impatient! Our Yanhuang Emperor is extremely busy with countless affairs of state! Please wait a moment!"
Lin Caogen laughed and said, "It's alright! We can just wait here! The main purpose of today is to form an alliance with the Yanhuang District, so it doesn't matter if we wait for a few days and nights!"
Shang Kexi smiled, but inwardly scorned, "You think your Ziwei District is worthy of an alliance with us? You're just being delusional! Your master, Du Ziqiong, is merely a peak 1-star Emperor, and the entire Ziwei District's combat strength is less than a third of that of the Yanhuang District! We're already being lenient by not slowly eroding you! An alliance with you? Don't even mention my lord, Xuanyuan Po, disagreeing; I doubt anyone in the entire court would agree!"
Luo Yi sat down next to Wang Yuanba and said, "Look! Young Master's temperament has matured a lot now! He is not arrogant or conceited in such a grand occasion! He will surely achieve great things in the future!"
Wang Yuanba laughed and said, "Old Luo! You're right! If it were me, I would have overturned the table and started fighting long ago! I wouldn't be in the mood to wait for that Xuanyuan Po!"
We waited for a full two hours!
The key figures and ministers of the Yanhuang District were all waiting in the reception room and were almost asleep!
In contrast, Du Ziqiong and her entourage from Ziwei District were all full of energy, sitting in rattan chairs and enjoying tea!
Shang Kexi thought to himself, "Why do these people from Ziwei District seem a bit strange? There seems to be no distinction between superiors and inferiors among them, as if none of them take this Ziwei Emperor Du Ziqiong seriously! They speak very casually, as if they are talking to colleagues! What's going on?"
Just then, the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan Po from the Yanhuang District finally arrived after taking a bath and changing his clothes!
He saw Du Ziqiong and smiled, "Emperor Ziwei! It's been a long time! You've become even more beautiful!"
As he spoke, Xuanyuan Po strode up to the central dragon throne and sat down!
Xuan Yuanpo glanced around and found that there were indeed three beautiful women beside Du Ziqiong, whose looks were stunning and even surpassed Du Ziqiong's!
However, these three women, including those around Du Ziqiong, did not seem to have any cultivation!
Before Lin Caogen brought these people here, he asked Yao Lao for some pills to suppress their cultivation level. They could hide their cultivation aura simply by wearing them! No wonder even Xuan Yuanpo couldn't see through their true strength!
Xuan Yuanpo glanced at Lin Caogen, who was sitting to Du Ziqiong's right, and looked puzzled. Logically speaking, this was not a seat that this kid should be sitting in!
Perhaps it's some unwritten custom in the Ziwei District! Xuanyuan Po was too lazy to ask about these formalities!
"Emperor Ziwei! What brings you here to our Yanhuang District with your delegation? May I ask what brings you here?"
Du Ziqiong smiled and said, "Emperor Xuanyuan! I have made the decision to step down! Today, I will transfer the position of Emperor of Ziwei District to my young master! You can discuss it with him!"
After saying that, Du Ziqiong looked at Lin Caogen on her right!
Upon hearing this, the entire court of Yanhuang was shocked!
Xuan Yuanpo stared at Lin Caogen for a long time, then suddenly laughed and said, "Could it be that this kid has exceptional strategies and is a top strategist in the Ziwei District?"
Du Ziqiong laughed and said, "My young master's strategies are indeed outstanding! However, he is not a strategist of my Ziwei District, but the master of my Ziwei District! Even I can only kneel before him!"
Upon hearing this, Xuan Yuanpo inwardly cursed Du Ziqiong for being insane! However, in front of so many people, he couldn't afford to be rude! He wondered what had gotten into Du Ziqiong; how could the dignified ruler of a district, the Ziwei Emperor, dare to utter such words as kneeling before her young master! She was utterly shameless!
Xuanyuan Po took a sip of ginseng tea and looked directly at Lin Caogen, saying, "It seems this young master has a powerful background! May I ask your name and what kind of background you have that makes our Ziwei Emperor so subservient?"
Xuan Yuanpo's words were clearly meant to humiliate Du Ziqiong!
You are a great emperor, holding the fate of billions of lives in your hands. You are ranked 11th in combat power across the entire Immortal Continent. Why do you belittle yourself in front of this brat? Even if you want to submit, you should submit to me, Xuan Yuanpo!
Lin Caogen laughed and said, "I am Lin Caogen, and my senior brother is Huang Feihu from the Five Mountains District!"
Upon hearing this!
Xuan Yuanpo put down his teacup and almost sat up in surprise!
"I misjudged you! It turns out you are actually the junior brother of Huang Feihu, the Five Sacred Mountains Emperor! No wonder you have such influence that Du Ziqiong is willing to submit to you! I admire you!"
