A group of warriors clad in fine white and silver armor filed in. Each of them was tall and slender, handsome and extraordinary, with a green bow on their backs and slightly pointed ears, clearly belonging to the Elven race.
The leader of the team had a full head of silver hair, but his face was as smooth as a young man's, and his eyes were bright, showing no signs of aging.
Old Wu recognized him as Qiao Wei, one of the eight elders of the Elf King's Palace, and frowned slightly. Why would someone from the Elf King's Palace be here?
Yesterday, the Crown Prince drugged the Snow Princess of the Elf Clan. Afterwards, she was taken away by assassins and her fate is unknown. However, she has most likely lost her chastity. Could it be that the people of the Elf Royal Palace have received the news and are planning to come and confront us?
That's not right. If anyone is to be punished, they should go to the Crown Prince.
Qiao Wei was taken aback when he saw Elder Wu and the Golden Crow Guard, and couldn't help but ask, "So it's Elder Wu. Why are you here?"
"That's exactly what I wanted to ask you." Hearing that his tone was relatively normal, Elder Wu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although his cultivation was higher than the other party's, if he had provoked the Elf King's Palace to rebel, the consequences would have been unmanageable.
Qiao Wei replied, "Oh, the Elf Royal Palace learned that Queen Medusa had come to the royal court, so they sent me here to offer my greetings."
Old Wu's expression changed. He hadn't expected Queen Medusa to have such a good relationship with the Elf Royal Palace. This made things a bit difficult.
Yu Yanluo was a little puzzled. She had never had any dealings with the Elf King's Palace before, so why were they coming to show goodwill?
Inside the side room, Yan and Yun were also discussing this issue. Finally, Yan Xuehen said, "I can sense a familiar aura on this elf elder. He is somewhat similar to Qiao Heng from the Suihou Tomb. They must be either father and son or blood relatives."
“I see,” Yun Jian Yue Si was well aware of the special nature of Yan Xue Hen’s technique and had no doubt about her ability to sense auras. “I never expected that when A Zu casually saved someone back then, he would receive such a reward today.”
At this moment, Qiao Wei asked in confusion, "Could it be that Elder Wu was also entrusted by the Demon Emperor to visit Queen Medusa?"
Old Wu was speechless for a moment. Did he mean to say that he had come to arrest her and take her back for interrogation?
Just then, there was another commotion at the doorway, and a shrill voice came: "Oh my, it's so lively here."
Everyone turned around and saw a short man walk in, wearing a comical official hat, with two curved mustaches around his mouth. He seemed to be hunchbacked and had a stooped posture. Upon closer inspection, they realized that he seemed to be carrying a large pot on his back.
Behind him followed a group of guards, who were clearly much stronger and taller than him. Their armor emitted a pale blue light, and many of the guards had fine, exquisite armor around their eyes, necks, and wrists. Upon closer inspection, however, it was not armor at all, but rather something resembling fish scales.
"Sea creatures!"
Everyone immediately realized who the leader was, and it became obvious that he was the representative of the sea tribe who had come to the royal court.
One—Prime Minister Turtle!
Old Wu's expression changed slightly because he noticed that the guards were carrying many brocade boxes, which were obviously gifts. When did the snake clan collude with the sea clan?
Prime Minister Gui was an extremely smooth person. After entering, he greeted everyone and did not neglect any family.
Old Wu coughed lightly: "What brings Prime Minister Gui here today?"
When this Turtle Chancellor first entered the palace, he paid his respects to the Demon Emperor and the Crown Prince, and the two had met once.
"I am here on my master's orders to deliver some daily necessities to Queen Medusa, so that she will not have any inconvenience on her first day in the royal court," the Turtle Prime Minister said with a smile.
People from all races looked at each other in bewilderment. Among the demon races, the sea race held a superior position because of their large population and extremely powerful strength. Even the Demon Emperor treated the Dragon King with great respect.
I never expected that even the sea creatures would be so fond of the snake race. It seems that we made the right decision to build closer relations with the snake race this time.
Inside the room, Yan and Yun exchanged a glance, wondering how Yu Yanluo could be so popular that even the sea tribes respected her.
The two women became worried at the same time; one was worried about her disciple, and the other... was also worried about her disciple.
Yu Yanluo was baffled. The snake race and the sea race might have had some past relations, but they had clearly lost contact in recent decades. Why would the sea race suddenly show such goodwill?
Suddenly, a thought struck her. She remembered that last time in Qingqiu Kingdom, the Dragon King's ninth son, Chiwen, was defeated by Azu. Then, under the strong insistence of his aunt, he used a lot of heavenly weapons to buy his life. At that time, she marveled at the extraordinary relationship between his aunt and Zuan. It seemed that the Turtle Prime Minister's visit this time was also because of her.
Sigh, these women are so good, it'll be impossible to tear them apart later.
Upon learning of the situation here through the jade cong, Zu An was somewhat lost in thought. Was it because Shang Liuyu knew about the events of the past two days and was worried about their impact on this place, that he specially sent someone over?
What a thoughtful and considerate person!
"Why is Elder Wu here too? Is he here on behalf of the Demon Emperor and the Crown Prince to visit Queen Medusa?" At this moment, the Turtle Prime Minister's voice rang out, "Speaking of which, I remember that the previous Queen Medusa and the Demon Emperor were friends."
Everyone present was shocked. The story of the previous Medusa Queen was a long time ago, and many people in the audience were unaware of this connection. Only someone with an exceptionally long lifespan like the Turtle Prime Minister knew about it.
Old Wu looked a little embarrassed. How many times had he been asked this question?
If it were just those small and medium-sized tribes, he could have just arrested them. But now that the Peacock Royal Family, the Elf Royal Family, and the Sea Clan are showing goodwill, how can he take action under their very noses?
"Sister Yu~" A surprised voice rang out at this moment. Everyone turned around and saw a beautiful and noble young girl appear at the door, running towards Yu Yanluo with a big smile on her face.
