Zhao Yue'er stood in the grand hall, feeling the weight of numerous gazes upon her, the discomfort becoming increasingly evident. She bit her crimson lip and finally spoke, her voice soft yet clear: "In truth, my relationship with Ye Tian is not particularly deep. However, just before he was about to leave, he gifted me a wooden sword, stating that if I encountered difficulties, I could use this sword to seek him out. As for whether he can represent the Ye Family Ancestor, I truly have no way of knowing."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Wang felt a surge of joy in his heart, though he maintained the regal demeanor and composure befitting a king. He nodded slightly and said with expectation, "Since you possess a token, then there is much to discuss. You shall undertake this mission to seek assistance from the Xia Kingdom."
Zhao Yue'er nodded in agreement, accepting Zhao Wang's assignment before turning to leave. Inside the hall, the ministers below began to whisper among themselves, each contemplating their own thoughts. Some were filled with worry, concerned whether this journey would be successful; others speculated about who Ye Tian truly was to earn Zhao Wang's regard; and some harbored ulterior motives, hoping to seize this opportunity for personal gain.
At the majestic gates of the Xia Kingdom's capital, morning light illuminated several visitors who had traveled from afar. Dressed in Qi State attire, they walked with steady steps, their expressions revealing a sense of solemnity and humility. This group was indeed the envoys sent by Qi State, here to resolve misunderstandings between the two nations.
At the city gates stood Ye Nantian, the chancellor of Xia Kingdom, clad in splendid robes and exuding an extraordinary presence. As the Grand Elder of the Ye Family, he was a prominent figure in Xia Kingdom, holding immense power and influence.
The Qi State envoys approached him respectfully, bowing as they spoke with a slight tremor in their voices: "We greet Chancellor Ye. We have come primarily to address the misunderstandings between Qi State and Xia Kingdom."
Ye Nantian's eyes flickered with understanding as he nodded slightly. His voice was steady and authoritative: "I am already aware of the situation. Follow me." With that, Ye Nantian led the Qi State envoys toward the royal palace.
Along the way, citizens of Xia Kingdom paused to watch and murmur among themselves. Among them was a Fat Lady who curiously pulled at a Green-eyed Rough Man beside her and asked: "Who are these people that even the chancellor personally welcomes them?"
The Green-eyed Rough Man smiled smugly and replied mysteriously: "You’ve asked the right person. I heard from my aunt’s neighbor that these people are envoys from Qi State here to apologize to our Xia Kingdom."
The Fat Lady gasped in surprise, her mouth agape in disbelief: "Why is that? Qi State has been established longer than our Xia Kingdom and has a stronger foundation!"
The Green-eyed Rough Man scoffed and lowered his voice, "You don't know this yet? The entire imperial city is in an uproar! Our Ancestor of Xia pointed a finger and killed the Holy Dynasty Envoy. I heard that the Holy Dynasty Envoy was even of Sovereign Power! Otherwise, would Qi State have submitted so easily?"
The Fat Lady was taken aback, speechless as she stared blankly at the retreating figures of the Qi State Envoy and Ye Nantian, her heart filled with awe for the Ancestor of Xia.
Deep within the palace, Ye Xingchen had already discerned the movements of the visitors from Qi State. He remained composed but had informed Xia Wang and Ye Hui about the matter, leaving it to Xia Wang to decide how to handle it.
Ye Xingchen's mindset had evolved beyond what it once was; he had lost interest in the disturbances caused by small nations like Qi State. His gaze had long surpassed these minor powers, focusing instead on the broader expanse of the Holy Dynasty.
It was precisely this tacit approval from Ye Xingchen that allowed the Qi State Envoy to enter the imperial city so easily, moving through without obstruction.
