Chapter 698: Ruler
The tulip petals kept flying in the wind and an incredible quantity of petals had already began to pile on the ground of the city.
The people from Dragon Mountain then stopped outside of the highest building of the Imperial Palace and landed on a huge field.
People from the Imperial Palace who were in the distance looked solemn and respectful, those people from Dragon Mountain looked imposing and domineering. They were all wondering what was happening when the people from Dragon Mountain had stopped, they mustn’t be enemies who were going to attack. Tulip petals kept flying in the wind.
“I am the ambassador from Dragon Mountain to Xue Yue, I am Ruo Lan Shan. The emperor has sent us here to grant someone the title of ruler of Xue Yue. We would to inform the king of Xue Yue.” said Ruo Lan Shan, looking at those people from the Imperial Palace. In a flash, a loud voice spread in the air that could be heard everywhere in the palace.
People from Dragon Mountain had come to grant someone the title of ruler of Xue Yue?
The people who were inside the Imperial Palace of Xue Yue were all astonished, someone was going to become the ruler of Xue Yue…?
Of course, some people had already heard the news. The champion of the Great Competition of Xue Yu was going to become the ruler of Xue Yue.
People were getting agitated in the Imperial Palace. Many were coming out and looking at those people outside on the field and in the air.
At the same time, people from the Imperial City were also rushing over to the palace and gathering there. Many people had thought that Duan Wu Dao won the competition and was going to become the ruler of Xue Yue. They wanted to see that important event in the history of Xue Yue. Besides, the crown prince was extremely strong, with him Xue Yue would become an incredibly strong country.
After a short while, two silhouettes appeared in the distance. Behind them was a group of people who all had spears in their hands, their eyes were twinkling with sharp lights. Their Qi was also extremely powerful.
“Duan Wu Ya, the second prince!” The crowd could recognize Duan Wu Ya. Then, they also recognized the other person next to him, it was the king of Xue Yue.
“Huh?” The crowd was a bit surprised when they saw a middle-aged man wearing a gray chang pao. He didn’t look like the king of Xue Yue, his skin was as white as that of a woman and he looked effeminate. It was as if they had never seen the king before, was it really him?
According to the rumors, the king of Xue Yue was always hiding and had never made inquiries about the country he reigned over. Duan Wu Dao and Duan Wu Ya were in charge of managing the country. It seemed like this time, everything was true. However, in people’s hearts the true king was still the one who had astonished the entire country twenty years before, Duan Ren Huang.
A short moment after, the middle-aged man in the gray chang pao and Duan Wu Ya arrived in front of Ruo Lan Shan. Ruo Lan Shan and the middle-aged man in gray clothes smiled back at each other respectfully.
“Ruo Lan Shan, ambassador from Dragon Mountain, you came from so far. I had to greet you in person in fear of being impolite.”
“I came here to grant someone with the title of Ruler of Xue Yue. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have dared come and disturb the king.” said Ruo Lan Shan politely. “This time I had to ask for the king’s audience.”
“Alright.” said the king nodding. “Who is going to become the Ruler of Xue Yue?”
“Doesn’t he know the answer?” wondered the crowd looking back at the king of Xue Yue. He was the king, didn’t he know the result of the Great Competition of Xue Yue? From his smile, he had to be Duan Ren Huang.
“First, I would like to congratulate Xue Yue. You gave birth to two incredible geniuses who finished first and second at the Great Competition of Xue Yu. Dragon Mountain is proud of them.” said Ruo Lan Shan, he then waved and many people took out some goods and put them in front of the king.
“Those are presents for Xue Yue, I hope you like them.”
