Chapter 1917: Peaceful Sea Emperor (2/2)
The middle-aged man Wu Zetian and the old man beside Huang Xiaolong also stood up.
In the outer hall, only Huang Xiaolong remained seated with the arrival of the Peaceful Sea Emperor.
The many experts seated in the inner hall all stood up hurriedly and went out to welcome him. Even the Azure Firmament Emperor Palace’s Wu Yichun and Cui Yiting who were seated moments ago also came out to welcome Peaceful Sea Emperor.
Although the Peaceful Sea Emperor Palace and Azure Firmament Emperor Palace’s rankings were more or less at the same level, and they had the sworn brothers’ relationship between the Peaceful Sea Emperor and Myriad Swords Emperor Palace’s Ancestor Liu Hai, the Azure Firmament Emperor would still require to be courteous towards Peaceful Sea Emperor.
The Myriad Swords Emperor Palace was a super force that ranked fifth.
At this time, a middle-aged man clad in a sea blue brocade robe entered into view with other guests surrounding him like stars around him. He was exuding his Emperor-aura without convergence.
There was no need to ask this person’s identity. It was clear that he was the Peaceful Sea Emperor.
A group of Lightning Clan’s higher echelons and other forces’ experts were following closely behind Peaceful Sea Emperor.
“Peaceful Sea Emperor, our Patriarch is already rushing over from the forbidden land upon learning that you’ve come in person. Please wait for a moment in the inner hall.” The Lightning Clan’s deputy informed respectfully.
Peaceful Sea Emperor nodded leisurely and didn’t even spare a hum in response.
Just as Peaceful Sea Emperor was about to walk towards the inner hall, his footsteps halted, and he turned to look in Huang Xiaolong’s direction.
Everyone was dazed and also turned their heads in Huang Xiaolong’s direction.
Because Huang Xiaolong was seated in an obscured and secluded corner, he was blocked out of sight by others. Therefore, practically no one had noticed that Huang Xiaolong was still sitting. Now, following Peaceful Sea Emperor’s line of sight, everyone finally noticed that there was still a person sitting down!
When all other guests had stood up and gone out to welcome Peaceful Sea Emperor, someone in the outer hall had actually remained seated upon his arrival!
No one had expected this!
Those standing in between Huang Xiaolong and Peaceful Sea Emperor’s line of sight moved away in a hurry. Even the middle-aged man Wu Zetian and the old man conversing with Huang Xiaolong avoided him. They moved far away, as they were clearly afraid of being implicated by Huang Xiaolong.
Huang Xiaolong’s immediate surroundings were void of people in the blink of an eye. The secluded and obscured corner had turned into a focal point.
Yet Huang Xiaolong was calm and unaffected, facing Peaceful Sea Emperor and others’ gazes, as he sat sipping out of his wine cup.
In this situation, one of the Peaceful Sea Emperor Palace’s Hall Masters reacted first. He pointed at Huang Xiaolong and reprimanded harshly, “Insolent! Why are you not standing up to welcome our Peaceful Sea Emperor!”
The Lightning Clan’s deputy Lei Chang was just about to reprimand Huang Xiaolong, but he was stopped by Peaceful Sea Emperor’s hand, “Not necessary. It’s just a small matter. It’s your celebration banquet today. Don’t spoil everyone’s merriment for this miscellaneous matter.”
The Lightning Clan’s deputy complied respectfully, squeezing a smile as he said, “Peaceful Sea Emperor is magnanimous.”
Everyone enthusiastically voiced their agreements.
Then, Peaceful Sea Emperor stepped into the inner hall with a group of people following him.
Watching the Peaceful Sea Emperor disappear into the inner hall, Wu Zetian saw that Huang Xiaolong was still sitting nonchalantly, steady as a mountain as he continued to enjoy his wine. Wu Zetian felt a little speechless.
Others in the outer hall were looking at Huang Xiaolong with subtle gazes, and some shook their heads at his foolhardiness.
