"I am Wang Yao, the matchmaker of the Heavenly Court Investigation Team. I need to see your clan leader." At a checkpoint at the head of a large bridge, Wang Yao handed over the passage documents that the Yi clan had processed for him to the Shu clan guards who were guarding the bridge.
There was no other way. The Shu ethnic administrative district was located on an island in the middle of a large lake. Only this bridge connected it to the Cheese City district. Anyone crossing the bridge would have to go through the checkpoint guards at the bridgehead. Although Wang Yao could force his way through, he considered that he was a newcomer and it was better to be polite.
"Heavenly Court...the Matchmaker...? Clan B!?" The rat guard in the checkpoint repeated Wang Yao's words in a daze, not yet understanding what he meant. He casually flipped through the clearance document and saw the words "Clan B" inside, and immediately became nervous.
He suddenly slapped a device beneath him, and an alarm immediately blared at the bridgehead. In an instant, several guardrails at the bridgehead rose from the ground, blocking vehicles that were about to go up or down the bridge.
Squads of Shu soldiers seemed to emerge from the ground, quickly surrounding the bridgehead and making it impossible to pass. Passengers in vehicles that had been forced to stop on both sides of the bridge jumped out to watch the spectacle.
"What happened? What happened?" A powerful humanoid figure dressed in the uniform of the Shu tribe army rushed down from the sky, asking loudly.
"Clan B! He's from Clan B!" The rat in the sentry post rushed out with Wang Yao's travel documents. Fearing that Wang Yao would attack him, he deliberately took a long detour to reach the humanoid powerhouse.
"Clan B? Are you blind? What nonsense are you spouting?" The humanoid powerhouse landed not far from Wang Yao, stared at him suspiciously for a moment, and took the passage document from the guard while cursing under his breath.
This powerful figure was quite clear-headed, knowing that only women could come from the Yi clan, and Wang Yao was clearly a man, so he could not possibly be from the Yi clan.
"You...you are Wang Yao, the Matchmaker of Heaven? A celestial being?" The powerful being carefully examined the travel permit before raising his head and asking Wang Yao uncertainly.
“That’s right. Since I first went to the Yi Clan in the Holy Domain, this travel permit was issued by the Yi Clan.” Wang Yao touched his nose. He knew that Madam Lian had ill intentions in giving him this travel permit, and sure enough, it caused tension among the Shu Clan.
"Are you illiterate or what? It clearly says 'Heavenly Immortals Passing Through the Yi Clan,' why are you sounding the alarm just because you see the words 'Yi Clan'? Besides, we've already made peace with the Yi Clan, why are you so nervous? You're really shameful!"
"Cancel the alarm right now! You've made me spend ages explaining this to the higher-ups. You're cleaning all the toilets today...!" Da Neng yelled at the rat guard while holding the clearance document. The rat guard lowered his head and didn't dare to breathe.
Seeing that the alarm at the bridgehead had been lifted, all the soldiers had withdrawn, and traffic had returned to normal, the powerful figure then approached Wang Yao with the clearance documents.
"Lord of the Moon, why didn't you contact our Ministry of Foreign Affairs before you came?" the powerful figure asked.
“I have urgent business and need to see your clan chief immediately,” Wang Yao replied.
"Meet the clan chief? I can't do that. I can only introduce you to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs within our clan, based on the principle of our clan's counterpart management. They will decide whether you can meet the clan chief. Is that alright?" Da Neng asked Wang Yao.
Wang Yao nodded. After all, he was going to see the clan leader, so it was normal for some underlings to block his way. He could just get through them one by one. As long as he could spread the news of his arrival in the Shu clan, it wouldn't be a big deal if he couldn't see Qiao Bushi today.
Seeing that Wang Yao had agreed, Da Neng invited Wang Yao to sit inside the sentry post for a while, while he himself picked up the phone inside the sentry post and contacted the island in the middle of the lake.
"Please wait inside for a moment. A specialist should come to pick you up shortly," Da Neng said with a smile after hanging up the phone to Wang Yao.
Not long after, the phone in the sentry post suddenly rang again. The powerful figure answered the phone and asked Wang Yao to leave the sentry post with a somewhat puzzled expression. At this moment, a powerful figure flew in from the island in the middle of the lake. Before even landing, the figure was already shouting loudly in the air.
Where is Dou Xiaodou? Where is Dou Xiaodou?
"Here." The powerful being stood beside Wang Yao and waved his hand towards the sky.
The one in the air then landed in front of the two. The powerful Shu clan member named Dou Xiaodou, who was next to Wang Yao, hurriedly handed over Wang Yao's travel documents. The powerful man from the island in the middle of the lake took the travel documents, flipped through them, and then nodded to Dou Xiaodou.
Dou Xiaodou understood immediately, turned around and greeted Wang Yao before leaving. At this moment, the powerful figure from the island in the middle of the lake collected the travel documents and bowed deeply to Wang Yao.
"Lord Yue Lao, I am Liang Shan, Deputy Director of the Celestial Reception Department of the Heavenly Court Affairs Bureau of the Shu Clan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Your presence in the Shu Clan is an honor to us. We apologize for not being able to welcome you properly." The deputy director said respectfully to Wang Yao.
"It's nothing, it's nothing. I just arrived myself. I mainly came uninvited because I have important business to discuss with your clan leader," Wang Yao said with a smile.
"Clan...Clan Chief? I wonder if it would be convenient for you, Lord Yue Lao, to tell me what you wish to see our clan chief about? So that I can report to the higher-ups on your behalf," Liang Shan asked, blinking slightly.
“Of course, I’m here because of the Tribal Alliance, they…” Wang Yao was about to continue speaking when Liang Shan’s expression changed drastically upon hearing the words “Tribal Alliance.” He hurriedly raised his hand to signal Wang Yao to stop, while his eyes furtively scanned the surroundings.
"What's wrong? Is there something inconvenient for you, Director?" Wang Yao asked in surprise.
"No... that..." Liang Shan looked at Wang Yao, forcing an awkward smile. "Well then, Lord Yue, you must be tired from your journey all the way from the Yi tribe, right? Have you had lunch yet? Let me welcome you with a feast, Lord Yue, please try some of our Shu tribe's delicacies..."
