I looked for him earlier. My subordinates reported that he was busy and didn’t have time to come!” Another person spoke up. Throughout the night he had frequently gone outside to meet up with his subordinates. It looked like what they had been whispering about was this issue.

Moreover, every time he would receive news, his eyebrows would wrinkle up and he would then order his subordinates to keep on trying!

“What is he doing, how can he not attend something this important! If not for his negotiating technique being so unique, I wouldn’t want to let him come!” Some people rebuked, but they were also helpless.

“??’ Seventh brother looked at those people curiously. Although he didn’t know who they were speaking of, this person definitely did not hold an ordinary position within the Thirteen Kingdoms Alliance. Otherwise these people wouldn’t only dare to talk behind his back.

Why was this so certain? It’s very simple, this was no ordinary occasion and this could be a turning point in the Thirteen Kingdoms Alliance’s history. If this person wasn’t special, they would have forced him to come long ago instead of gossiping behind his back without daring to do anything.

Thus, right now Seventh brother really wanted to know who this person was. Not only was he curious, he wanted to personally try out his negotiating technique and see why it was uniquel!

Consequently, Seventh brother opened his mouth and asked: Who are you talking about?”

“He’s the king of this All Directions Kingdom. Not only is he good at negotiating, he can make some decisions that we can’t!” They replied.

[TL note: 都方国 is translated as All Directions Kingdom]

Right now the most important thing was to keep Seventh brother and keep the Ye family from leaving. The best thing to do was to answer his question and draw his interest!

King?!

Speaking of which, it was pretty unusual to have come here and not have met the king. Something felt weird yesterday and it turned out it was because the king never appeared.

To say nothing of negotiations, just being hosted at this “palace” dictated that as the host, the king should be there. How could he never even show a shadow of himself?

Not only did Seventh brother find it odd, Ye Chengtian and everyone else found it odd as well. Normal people might not notice, but they were people who constantly lived in the halls of power and were fluent in court etiquette.They knew that this was definitely should not be happening.

The exception was if they were putting on airs, but the airs to put on depended on the other party. For people like Ye Chengtian and his group, even if it were the emperors of the three great empires, they wouldn’t put on airs in front of them.

Then what was this king doing?

Seventh brother asked this question and the response he received was “don’t know”. These people had always been unclear what the king was doing. They only knew that one day earlier, the king had said he would come negotiate, but one day later, he had shut his door and refused to see anyone or allow anyone to disturb him.

“If it’s like this, then I won’t be disturbing you any longer!” Seventh brother politely excused himself and prepared to leave. After all, no matter how good the terms the Thirteen Kingdoms Alliance provided were, he wouldn’t be satisfied.

After all, in the past he was a high official in the empire. He alone administered far more than the entire Thirteen Kingdoms Alliance, to say nothing of everyone else.

In the end, he was just negotiating for fun. It was about the process, not the result!!

“How about this, we can all go over and take a look to see what he’s doing!” That group of representatives wouldn’t let the negotiations end like this and somewhat forcefully pulled Seventh brother over.

“….” Seventh brother felt hard pressed to refuse their offer, after all he did somewhat want to see this king and see what kind of person he really was.

Seventh sister-in-law saw the situation and immediately stopped those people from pulling Seventh brother away and pulled him back. She then fiercely glared at those people and caused those people to involuntarily pull back – a step!

As expected of an imperialprincess, she has an uncommon grandeur!
