“What do you mean flashy?!” Tang Nazhi was speechless at Shen Yanxiao’s words.
“Yesterday, Yang Xi’s masks should have been given to you already.” Shen Yanxiao didn’t feel like she had said something wrong. The five animals were more than just swaggering people. Fortunately, She didn’t have that many women in The Rising Sun City. Otherwise, she would have to deal with a crowd of love-struck fools.
Although the five of them had not really become the heads of their own clans yet, they already possessed their clan’s Mythological Beasts and were clearly determined to be the next clan head. The disharmony between the five great clans for a long time had allowed the Emperor to rest assured. After all, each of the five clans controlled a very frightening power. Once the five great clans allied themselves, then even the Emperor would not be able to shake them in the slightest. This was exactly what the Emperor was most worried about. Rather than have the Emperor suspect them, Shen Yanxiao simply decided to conceal the matter.
Anyway, no one knew that they, the six people, were all on good terms except for the few of them.
Qi Xia and others were very understanding of Shen Yanxiao’s scruples, so they didn’t say anything more and just directly put on the face-changing masks.
Shen Yanxiao then stretched and stood up. She faced Yin Jiuchen, Vermillion Bird, and Lan Fengli, “Let’s go and meet the special envoy.”
The team from Long Xuan Empire was standing at the city gates of The Rising Sun City. Several members of Cave Wolves Mercenary Corps were squatting on the city walls and stretching their heads to watch the group of local tyrants from the Imperial Capital.
“Damn, the City Lord of The Rising Sun City does not understand rules. We all have been waiting here for quite a while now and still have not seen her shadow. That little brat sure has a poor behavior and upbringing.” Li Qi did not like the atmosphere of the Barren Land at all. Standing on such a dirty land, he felt like he was going to get sick.
Long Yue stared at the dilapidated scenery in the city.
“I thought that it was already built. How come it’s still so dilapidated.” Seeing the strong and magnificent city walls, and then seeing such a disorderly scene inside The Rising Sun City, Long Yue felt some inconsistency with his own imagination.
“This is a question of individual’s ability. Just how old that little brat is? She’s just seeking to impress by feigning more than her actual abilities. What is the use of building such lavish city walls? Isn’t she still living in this pile of rocks? What a completely brainless fool.” Li Qi disdained the huge contrast between outside and inside of The Rising Sun City. To him, the key was to build the houses first to have a place to live in. To spend such good materials and that much energy on the walls was rather useless and wasteful.
Finally, four petite figures slowly came before the group of people who had been waiting.
Shen Yanxiao walked leisurely to the city gates and smiled at the “guests” from afar.
“You are the special envoy team sent by the Imperial Capital? I’m the City Lord of The Rising Sun City, Shen Yanxiao.” Shen Yanxiao spoke gracefully, neither arrogant nor servile.
The first moment they saw Shen Yanxiao’s stunning appearance, a few people had a trace of sluggishness.
Li Qi blinked his eyes. If it weren’t for Shen Yanxiao introducing herself, he probably wouldn’t be able to connect the small beauty in front of him to the City Lord of The Rising Sun City.
When Shen Yanxiao entered the palace, it was only for a short while, and Li Qi was not there. Hence, he did not know of Shen Yanxiao’s appearance.
However, compared with her appearance, Li Qi was more concerned with Shen Yanxiao’s attitude. The other party clearly knew that he was an envoy, but she was still late in welcoming them. Fine, he would let it pass. But, she actually brought only three little ones to greet him. What the heck was this?!
“You are Shen Yanxiao?” Li Qi proudly opened his mouth and put on a superior appearance.
