“You don’t understand.”
“Our Jinwei Land has altered its policy. Originally, won were prohibited from cultivating, but due to the efforts of these young won, the emperor has issued an imperial decree. Now, won in Jinwei Land are allowed to cultivate. Moreover, there’s a dedicated individual overseeing won’s cultivation, and that is Lady Xu Xunnan.”
“This is not a sign of disrespect to Baizhou Land. Quite the opposite, the Emperor of Jinwei Land highly values it. That’s precisely why he sent these won to Baizhou Land, so that you, the King of Baizhou Land, could witness it,” the envoy explained with utmost respect. At this mont, he was doing his utmost to present the situation in the most favorable light to ensure his own safety.
The expressions of the King of Baizhou Land and his entourage remained deeply displeased, but it was clear they had no intention of making things difficult for Jinwei Land’s envoy or the group.
However…
The King of Baizhou Land slamd the table forcefully and spoke sternly, “This is absurd, absolute nonsense!”
“Won are nothing but bad luck. Beyond being a burden, what use are they? If they cause trouble, we should simply eliminate these unfortunate beings. How can the Emperor of Jinwei Land be so soft-hearted as to indulge them?”
“Allowing them to cultivate? It’s utterly futile.”
“Our Baizhou Land appreciates the kindness of your Emperor of Jinwei Land, but we simply cannot accommodate it. Leave these unfortunate won behind, and take them away.”
“Furthermore, as the envoy, kindly convey my ssage to the King of Jinwei Land and urge him to rescind the imperial decree promptly. We mustn’t let these unfortunate won tarnish our nation!” The King of Baizhou Land displayed no concern for Gu Chaoyan and her companions, treating them with the sa disregard as the common slaves of Baizhou Land.
Jinwei Land’s envoy appeared to be in a predicant. He glanced at Xu Xunnan and the others, then at the King of Baizhou Land, perpetually wearing a troubled expression.
However…
His deanor did not reflect any actual difficulty. In fact, he might have been secretly pleased. This could very well be what the Emperor of Jinwei Land had intended. It was also what the envoy had wished to witness. After all, this envoy was a man and had no qualms about kicking soone when they were down.
Nevertheless…
Gu Chaoyan was no ordinary person.
How could she be pointed at and berated in this manner?
Useless? Unlucky? Sent back?
Hah…
“King of Baizhou Land, are you implying that we won are a source of bad luck? Did you not, too, co into the world from a woman’s womb? Why did you not inherit any of this ‘bad luck’?” Gu Chaoyan retorted, unflinchingly.
The King of Baizhou Land had already been seething with rage, initially aiming to expel these troubleso won from Jinwei Land. But suddenly, he was challenged by a woman in this manner. The King of Baizhou Land was incensed to the point where veins bulged on his face. Yet, he had never been questioned in such a manner before, and he found himself montarily at a loss for words. The atmosphere in the hall hung in an awkward impasse.
In less than half an hour, the King of Baizhou Land pounded the table. “How dare you!”
Gu Chaoyan cast a quick glance at the table. She presud it would be unhard, but the King of Baizhou Land might not fare as well with his wounded pride.
Maintaining this level of anger was no simple task.
Nevertheless…
The more infuriated the King of Baizhou Land beca, the more deplorable his attitude toward won appeared.
Yet, as ti progressed, it beca increasingly evident that his attitudes could be altered more swiftly.
