The four countries stayed in the Barren Land for the next few days. Shen Yanxiao arranged for Uncle Jiu to
entertain them and take them to the main cities to watch the strategic preparations of the Barren Land.
After this tour, the world outlook of the various rulers was completely refreshed. Even the heads of the
Divine Wind Alliance, the group most fully prepared for the war, could only bow down after seeing the
preparations of the Barren Land.
During the time when the worldviews of the people of the four countries were refreshed again and again,
Shen Yanxiao, as the owner of the Barren Land, quietly called several high-ranking people into her own
place one by one to talk to them.
Everyone who was summoned by Shen Yanxiao to have a talk entered the City Lord Residence with an
uneasy heart and a gloomy face. In their hearts, they reected countless times on whether there was
something they hadn’t done well, and whether they would be greatly punished by the Lord. However, half
a day later, when they left the City Lord Residence, the gloom and anxiety on their faces had long
vanished; their faces were so full of happy smiles that the corners of their mouths almost reached their
ears and the sentence, “I’m so happy, I’m on cloud nine.” was nearly written on their foreheads.
Those cheerful gures that tried hard to restrain their emotions made those who had not yet been called
by Shen Yanxiao more uneasy. Those who returned kept their mouths shut and did not say what Shen
Yanxiao had talked about with them. This really made those who hadn’t been called more entangled.
They thought those who had been summoned by Shen Yanxiao had very bad luck, and they were still
secretly laughing at their misfortune. But now, it seemed that being called into the City Lord Residence
was denitely not a miserable thing. Looking at those gures showing o in an ostentatious manner one
after another… even if they thought with their toes, they could tell that it was denitely a good thing!
The Phantom members sat in the City Lord Residence, looking at the king of the Lan Yue Dynasty who had
a owery smiling face as he thanked Shen Yanxiao a thousand times, their expressions were slightly
complicated.
“Little Xiao, I found out for the rst time that you are such a philanthropist .” Tang Nazhi looked at Shen
Yanxiao, who had just walked back inside, in amazement and the expression in his eyes became strange.
Shen Yanxiao wiped her hands with the handkerchief handed over by Yin Jiuchen and looked at Tang
Nazhi with her eyebrow raised.
“What do you mean?”
“I never imagined that you would go to great lengths and create sacred tools for those people. This world
is such a fantasy, ah.” Tang Nazhi shook his head while sighing. These days, Shen Yanxiao summoned
those high-ranking people one by one, not for anything else, but just to make sacred tools for them. What
was more, her attitude was extremely serious, not a bit perfunctory.
“I told you, we’re allies.” Shen Yanxiao said calmly.
“We don’t have any problem with you creating a sacred tool for Long Fei, but for you to look after even Gu
Lan and his bastard son… that’s really not your style, now is it?” Requiting evil with good; this had never
been Shen Yanxiao’s principle. Tang Nazhi had seen how much of an asshole that second generation brat
Gu Feng was. Had it not been for Qi Xia’s presence at that time, that idiot would still be eyeing Yin
Jiuchen’s beauty.
It could be said that as soon as Shen Yanxiao, such an over-protective individual, knew that there was an
idiot who had ideas about her family’s little Jiu’er, she should have rushed over and trashed Gu Feng’s face
in the rst instant, but this time she was sort of out-of-character. Not only did she not pursue this matter,
but she also promised to create sacred tools for Gu Lan and Gu Feng. This was totally dierent from her
usual style.
