The city’s construction went ahead like a high speed train, but soon sad news arrived.
Shen Yanxiao stared at the letter sent by the messenger and her eyes nearly fell off.
“An envoy to patrol the city? Has that old Emperor gone bald?”
The main content of the letter was that the Longxuan Empire would send a team of special envoys to the Forsaken Land to inspect the progress of the city construction.
“Instead of sending money or resources, they simply sent a special envoy to patrol my city? What is that idiot Emperor thinking of!” Shen Yanxiao was furious as that Emperor had gone too far. When other champions entered the Forsaken Land, the Longxuan Empire had sent money and resources to assist them with the construction of the city.
When it came to her, there was not a single dime of assistance and they even mentioned they were sending envoys to check up on her?
Those lines of words were of a tone of someone superior, and it made Shen Yanxiao wish that she could immediately burn the letter.
Qi Xia shrugged his shoulders and said, “It’s obvious that the Emperor does not look favorably on you. Therefore, he’s still thinking of finding an excuse to settle you even though he knew that construction had begun. Due to the Vermilion Bird Family’s prestige, he could not openly attack you and so, he’s sending an envoy to cause trouble. At that time, the envoy can casually find an excuse to have you halt the construction and leave the Forsaken Land.”
“This is still not considered an open attack? The only thing the Emperor did not do was to tell her straight in the face that he would not be giving her a single cent and that she should leave.” Tang Nazhi mocked with a skin deep smile. The Emperor honestly disliked Shen Yanxiao and so, he had been repeatedly harsh on her.
The Emperor would send large amounts of gold coins when any other champion achieved even the slightest of achievements in the Forsaken Land. When it came to Shen Yanxiao, not to mention assistance, she would thank God if he did not cause her more trouble.
“It is reasonable to say that no matter how unwelcomed Shen Yanxiao’s identity as a Warlock was, the Emperor would not disregard the prestige of the Vermilion Bird Family. However, his actions looked as if he did not fear offending them. It is somewhat weird.” Yang Xi furrowed his brows and found the matter to be strange.
“I don’t think the envoy sent here this time is to stop Xiaoxiao from constructing the city,” Yan Yu slowly said.
“Why do you say that?” Shen Yanxiao crumpled the letter into a ball and threw it to one side before she turned to Yan Yu.
Yan Yu said, “The Forsaken Land is filled with dangers and if the Emperor only wanted for you to stop, he could let you do as you liked and stop any support. He would not have expected the few of us to come here and support you and with the abilities of the Vermilion Bird Family, it would pose some difficulties for them to assist with the city construction. As long as the Emperor left you alone, it would be hard for you to successfully complete the city. However, he instead dispatched an envoy at this point in time. So, I think his objective is not for you to stop, but rather for other reasons.”
“In any case, it is without a doubt that he has other intentions.” Tang Nazhi snorted.
“What Ah Yu said is reasonable. We cannot uncover the Emperor’s intention for the time being, so we can only wait for that envoy’s arrival before we can make further plans. What do you think, Xiaoxiao?” Qi Xia turned and asked Shen Yanxiao.
She thought for a moment and said, “No matter the objective of the envoy, they definitely have bad intentions. However, if they wish to give me a blow, it’ll depend if they have the ability to do so. Order the men stationed outside the city to pay more attention. If they were to discover any strangers, report to me at the very first instance. I’d like to see what ability that special envoy possesses.”
