Zuan was furious. These guys had come at the worst possible time, but he knew that important matters were at stake and dared not cause any more trouble.
He went to the wardrobe and took out a set of embroidered robes for himself and put them on. Then he helped Qiao Xueying put on her mask, and soon two embroidered robes appeared in the room.
Zuan sized up the other person and nodded in satisfaction. Apart from being a little petite, he was no different from the other Embroidered-Robed Envoys.
However, there are short men in the world, so it's not a big problem.
So he took Qiao Xueying and walked out openly.
"Who!" Soon, guards surrounded them.
Zuan simply pulled out his waist token and waved it in front of them.
"A Gold Medal Embroidered-Robe Envoy!" The guards were all startled and hurriedly bowed. They knew that Embroidered-Robe Envoys were mysterious and held high status, and the Gold Medal Embroidered-Robe Envoy was the highest rank besides the Grand Commander Zhu Xie Chixin.
The entire Embroidered Robe Envoy team consisted of only 10 gold medalists, each of whom commanded a large group of silver and bronze medalists. Therefore, each gold medalist was a person of high rank and great power, and these guards could not afford to offend them.
"May I ask, sir, have you seen any assassins coming this way?" one of the guard leaders asked, mustering his courage.
Zuan said in a deep voice, "I didn't notice, but there shouldn't be any assassins passing by within a radius of several dozen feet."
The guard was relieved: "If that's what you say, sir, then it must be right. Let's go!"
He waved his hand, summoning his men to search in another direction.
Zu An and Qiao Xueying walked towards the palace gate. Qiao Xueying said excitedly, "I didn't expect this identity to be so useful."
Zuan laughed and said, "It's clearly your husband who's more useful."
Qiao Xueying spat, "Pah, you lecherous scoundrel." But there was not a trace of anger in her tone.
At this moment, the group of guards who had been there earlier were also discussing among themselves: "Boss, those two people were acting strangely. I've never heard of two embroidered-robed envoys coming out of the same room."
The head guard snorted: "I know what you're going to say. If it were any other embroidered-robed envoy, I would also be suspicious, but this is a gold medal. Gold medal envoys are all highly skilled, how could they be impersonated by assassins?"
The others chuckled, "That's true."
"But everyone says that the Embroidered-Robed Envoy travels alone. It feels strange for two people to share a room."
"Didn't you notice the petite figure next to the Gold Medal Master?"
"Could it be a woman? Are there women among the Embroidered-Robed Envoys?"
"Even if she's not a woman, she's still the kind of petite, pretty boy that many high-ranking officials and nobles like. He's a top-notch envoy, so isn't it normal for him to take advantage of his subordinates?"
"Boss, why are you getting so excited? Don't try anything with me."
"Pah! Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror!"
...
At this time, Zu An had already brought Qiao Xueying to the vicinity of the palace gate. Although the palace was heavily guarded, the identity of the Gold Medal Embroidered Robe Envoy was too useful. When the guards saw his attire and waist token, they didn't dare to ask any questions and let him pass directly.
"Grandpa, now that this matter is settled, I must take my people back to our homeland." Qiao Xueying said reluctantly.
The reason she stayed in the capital and even worked for the Shi family was to save the elves who had been captured and brought to the capital over the years due to war or the slave trade.
It turned out that the Shi family had promised to help her rescue people on the surface, but in reality they had been using this to manipulate her and were not actually doing anything. Instead, they had been involved in many things related to the sale of elf slaves.
After she rebelled against the Shi family, she used the power she had accumulated over the years, along with the influence of the Youying Tower, to successfully save many of her clansmen.
She has already sent several groups out of the city, and now there is only one last group left. She is about to leave as well. After all, the human world is not her home, and her identity is special. Her clan has been urging her to return to hold an important ceremony.
Zuan was somewhat reluctant: "Xue'er, I really can't bear to part with you, but unfortunately I'm currently too busy to leave with you."
Qiao Xueying snorted: "You talk as if you can be in two places at once and are willing to leave Miss Chu and the others... I don't expect you to abandon everything and come home with me, but you must come to the Elf Clan to see me when you have the chance in the future."
Zuan said in a deep voice, "I will definitely come to find you!"
Qiao Xueying immediately smiled broadly, tiptoed and kissed him on the cheek: "Grandpa is the best!"
Zuan couldn't help but sigh, no wonder people say that the most heartbreaking thing is parting.
His heart was filled with mixed emotions, and he had a lot to say. Suddenly, the golden token of the Embroidered-Robed Envoy in his hand emitted bursts of light, and then a divine thought came through: "All Embroidered-Robed Envoys near the palace, drop everything and go to the Eastern Palace to provide immediate assistance! Now!"
