Chapter 751 - 751 The Sovereigns Estate (1/2)
''City lord, you are back already?'' The golden-armored old man asked in a surprised tone as he looked at the Northern Sovereign, before his eyes darted towards the group of 5 young people who were floating in the air behind her.
There was approximately half a year left until the King's Palace closed, so the golden-armored old man was naturally stunned to see Lu Qigang return to the city so quickly.
This old man was had followed her for many years, but he had never seen the Northern Sovereign return from the King's Palace ahead of time.
Nodding her head, Lu Qigang looked at the golden-armored old man and said calmly
''Things have changed in the core region of the palace. Old Lin, you will learn about this soon enough as well. Hehe, even if I wanted to keep this matter under wraps, I wouldn't be able to do so in the first place.''
Lu Qigang then turned around to look at Shun Long and the others before she continued
''I have some things to take care of, so old Lin will be the one to show you to your courtyard. If you need anything, don't hesitate to ask him. Other than me, he is the person with the most power inside my Sovereign's estate!''
Old Lin was stunned when he heard the casual tone that the Northern Sovereign used when she spoke to Shun Long and the rest.
Her voice lacked the usual authority and coldness that she usually had when she spoke to others, and instead, it seemed like she was actually speaking to someone whom she considered her equal.
However, with his cultivation that was clearly in the Sovereign realm, how could old Lin not realize that the 5 people in front of him were just a bunch of newly advanced Dao Kings?
Even Sovereign realm experts like himself had to bow their heads in front of the Northern Sovereign, let alone a small group of Dao Kings.
''City lord, are these guests really going to stay within the Sovereign's estate?'' After a moment of hesitation, old Lin couldn't help but ask the Northern Sovereign, intending to make sure that he had understood her intentions.
Nodding her head, Lu Qigang said seriously
''Naturally! Shun Long and his friends are my guests. Let them stay in the 'Southern Dragon's courtyard' and have commander Quan personally protect them when they leave the Sovereign's estate.''
Although old Lin was surprised inwardly, on the outside he didn't show any hesitation as he looked at the Northern Sovereign and bowed before he said respectfully
''Understood, city lord!''
Old Lin knew that commander Quan was one of the Northern Sovereign's personal guards, an extremely powerful expert at the peak of the Dao Emperor realm who was just a step away from breaking through to the Sovereign realm.
To have such an expert personally guard Shun Long and his group, it only served to show how much importance the Northern Sovereign placed on this matter.
As for the 'Southern Dragon's courtyard', it was actually the second-best courtyard in the entire city, second only to the Northern Sovereign's own courtyard!
