“What do you mean by coquettish!?” Tang Nazhi went speechless from Shen Yanxiao’s use of words.
“Alright, hurry up and go. It is time for you and Yang Xi to use the disguise masks.” Shen Yanxiao did not feel as if she had said anything wrong. Their appearances were a magnet for trouble but fortunately, there were not many females in her city. Otherwise, they might already have a fan group by now.
Even though they had yet to officially assume the position of family head, it was certain they would at least be the candidates for that position due to the fact that they had already possessed the mythical beasts of their family. The disharmony between the five families had reassured the Emperor very much. After all, the power they possessed was simply too much. Once the five families formed an alliance, even the Emperor could not touch a single strand of hair on them. This was what the Emperor was worried about the most. Right now, the Emperor had his reservations towards Shen Yanxiao and so, it would be best to hide their relationship.
In any case, no one with the exception of them knew about their close relationship.
Qi Xia and the rest understood the concern of Shen Yanxiao so they went under disguise without any objections.
Shen Yanxiao stretched and stood up. She then said to Yin Jiuchen, the Vermilion Bird, and Lan Fengli, “Let’s go. Let’s meet that special envoy.”
Outside the city gates of Sun Never Sets, the team of envoys from the Longxuan Empire stood there. A few Cave Wolves Mercenary Group members were all crowded by the city walls looking at those tycoons from the capital.
“Dammit, does the city lord even know basic etiquette? We’ve been here for so long and she is still not here yet! A little kid is indeed a little kid. She doesn’t even have a single ounce of respect.” Li Qi disliked the air around the Forsaken Land, and he felt as if he was about to fall sick from just standing on the dirty ground.
Long Yue looked at the damaged interior with wide eyes.
“I thought the city had already finished construction. Why is it still so run-down inside?” When he compared the towering and extravagant city walls to the interior condition of the city, Long Yue felt that it did not fit the image he had imagined.
“This is a problem of the city lord’s management abilities. She’s only fourteen, and she already knows to seek to impress and to feign more than her abilities could afford. What’s the use of constructing the city wall so extravagantly? Ultimately, she’ll have to live in this pile of rubbles. I seriously doubt if she has any brains.” Li Qi despised the great contrast between the interior and the city walls. In his opinion, it was of more importance to construct the internals of a city. It was basically a waste of resources to spend so much rare materials and manpower on the walls.
After a long wait, four petite silhouettes finally walked over slowly.
Shen Yanxiao walked to the entrance at a moderate pace and smiled as she welcomed these ‘guests’ who had come from afar.
“Are you the envoys sent from the Longxuan Empire? I am the city lord, Shen Yanxiao.” She spoke with a neutral tone that was neither humble nor arrogant.
When they first saw Shen Yanxiao’s appearance, they were momentarily dazed.
Li Qi blinked his eyes in shock. If Shen Yanxiao had not personally revealed her identity, he probably would never associate the little beauty in front of him with the city lord.
When Shen Yanxiao entered the palace back then, she had only lingered for a short moment and Li Qi was not present. Thus, he was not aware of her appearance.
But compared to her appearance, he was more concerned about her attitude. She clearly knew that he was an envoy yet she was still so late. Moreover, she only brought three little kids along with her to welcome them! What kind of joke was that!?
“You are Shen Yanxiao?” Li Qi arrogantly spoke, giving off an appearance as if he was walking on air.
