Dai Mubai and the ministers of the envoys walked up the steps, entered the palace, and came to the back garden. Emperor Dai Tianli met them here. The ministers of the envoys half-knelt on the ground, with their right hands on their left chests, and said with their heads down, "Your humble servant pays homage to Your Majesty."
Dai Mubai lowered his head, placed his right hand on his left chest, and said respectfully: "Mubai greets the emperor."
Dai Tianli waved his hand and said with a smile, "You two have worked hard on this trip. Stand up!"
"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty."
"Thank you, Father."
Dai Tianli smiled brightly and said, "Mu Bai, I haven't seen you for six years. You've grown up and become more mature. It seems that your experience abroad has been very good over the years. Even your strength has been improved to the level of Soul Saint. In our royal family, you are the first prince to cultivate to the level of Soul Saint, breaking our royal family's historical record."
Dai Mubai smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you are too kind. All of this is due to the training of the academy. Mubai dare not take credit for it."
Dai Tianli did not continue to question Dai Mubai. Instead, he looked at the minister of the delegation and said, "Messengers Wang, you have worked hard on this journey. Go back and rest first. When you go to court tomorrow, write a work report and give it to me."
The royal envoy bowed deeply and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will take my leave." After that, he slowly backed away until he was a few meters away, then turned around and left.
Dai Tianli then said, "Mu Bai, you and I haven't seen each other for six years. Tell me how you've been out there these past six years. You look like you've suffered a lot."
Dai Mubai smiled carefreely and said, "It's okay, Father. Suffering a little hardship outside is also a kind of training for me. You see, I'm doing pretty well. This time I come back, I want to compete with my elder brother to the end and become the crown prince."
Dai Tianli nodded in satisfaction and said, "I'm very happy that you have such ambition. Father has something I hope you can promise me. After you win, don't harm your eldest brother's life. Just demote him to a commoner. We have too few members of the Dai family. We hope someone will branch out. So let your eldest brother hide in the dark and become a branch of our royal family. This will prevent our Xingluo Empire from being destroyed one day and our Dai family from being completely slaughtered. I'm afraid we won't be able to explain to our ancestors in the afterlife."
Dai Mubai nodded and said, "Yes, Father, I promise you that I will not harm my eldest brother. I will let him hide in the dark and establish a branch family."
