The development and expansion of In-See City in the past three months had become the focus of attention among the surrounding City Lords. Even the City Lord of Sai-Tarn City, which was like a sibling city, still had to send people to check because he dared not ask directly.
Even the capital paid attention to this matter because how a small city like In-See City could develop into a medium city in just this period was not normal. The capital had heard this news because Guan-Ying-Ping and those who had gone to In-See City brought back this news.
After all the events were over, the four of them did not leave the city immediately. They stayed in the city for a few more days because they were interested in Zheng-Fu. But they had no chance of meeting him. Even though she referred to her father's name, Zheng-Fu still did not let her meet because he was tired of answering her questions.
Of course, she had to ask a lot of questions, and he knew that.
But even then, she had not given up on trying to meet him. So, she remained at In-See City for several days. She waited for the chance to ask to meet him many times, but anyway, she could never meet him. She began to be unable to bear the urge to meet him and thought of invading the Tian-Tang Clan to meet him.
But the guys who came along with her warned and stopped her since her actions might cause everyone's dissatisfaction.
It took them a long time to calm her down and return to the capital first to report to her father about this matter. She reported both the rapid development of In-See City and all the various strength levels she knew to her father so that he could send someone out to investigate the matter.
But it turned out that her father had ordered her to stay in the capital and had forbidden her to go anywhere for three months. It was because, previously, she had escaped without permission, and there were more serious things happening. Therefore, she was detained only in the mansion.
Inside Guan-Ying-Ping's room...
Bang!!! Thump!!! Thump!!!
"Whoa! Later, Damn Zheng-Fu. Just wait and see. I've got to repay you for causing me to be detained. Aaaaaay!" Guan-Ying-Ping, who had to be confined to the room for three months, cursed Zheng-Fu all day, every day. Because she reported what happened to her father about Zheng-Fu, she had to be detained like this.
Thump!!!
"I hate you!!!"
"Sigh... I really feel sorry for that Zheng-Fu kid, that he made Young Miss hate him like this," said the middle-aged man who accompanied Guan-Ying-Ping at that time, hearing the shouts that sounded outside her room, where he and two other young men stood guard because they were punished by having to stand and watch over her for three months as well.
"That's right... I don't dare think about what will happen," added the talkative young man, making a scared face and holding his crotch over his pants.
"This is our fault. We didn't try to stop Young Miss," another young man interjected with a still expression on his face.
"Tsk!!! You're well aware of what Young Miss is like. How could we stop her? If you could, show me then!"
Ah!!!
"Stop arguing. In a few days, three months will be over," the middle-aged man hurriedly interjected them both before the two young men would have a war of saliva because, all the time, both of them were always arguing with each other.
"Yes, Uncle!!!"
At the main conference hall in the Royal Palace of Blueland...
There were several beautifully decorated tables in this hall. Many middle-aged and elderly men sat in their seats, dignified and orderly. Everyone dressed differently, but the clothes they wore still had a feeling of nobility.
"Commander Guan-Yang-Sen, how about In-See City?" a middle-aged man sat on a large chair decorated with many jewels and beautiful cloud carvings in the middle of the hall, asking in a simple but firm tone.
"Dear Your Highness, I've sent someone out to investigate and take a look. In-See City has actually expanded its territory, including trade and transportation. Everything is much better. Every martial clan in the city will also receive ten intermediate Qi energy stones every month.
But if any clan sells the Immortal Cave to someone named Zheng-Fu, they'll receive an additional intermediate Qi stone, sir," Guan-Yang-Sen clasped his hands and reported what he had learned to a middle-aged man, or in other words, the current King, Lu-Song-Xi, immediately.
Huh!!!
"Ten intermediate Qi energy stones every month?"
"Is this true!!!?"
"And who is the person named Zheng-Fu!?"
"Right, I've never heard of that name before!?"
The other nobles within the hall let out their cries of shock and suspicion. They had never heard of this name before.
And then there was also the matter of giving those intermediate Qi energy stones, which, when counted together, in a month, the number of Qi stones that were distributed would be no less than four hundred. And if they were calculated as money, it could be said that they were of very high value.
"What about that person named Zheng-Fu? Is there any news about him?" Lu-Song-Xi could not help but wonder.
"In his case, my people rarely get anything back. As far as I know, he is only thirteen years old…"
Thirteen!
"Isn't he too young, Commander Guan-Yang-Sen!?"
"Right, Commander. That young!?"
Flap!!!
"Everyone, quiet... Commander, please continue to speak." Lu-Song-Xi hurriedly raised his hand as a signal for the others to calm down and promptly told Guan-Yang-Sen to continue.
"Yes. sir!" Guan-Yang-Sen immediately responded. With a disgruntled expression, he glanced around at the person who interrupted his speech. He then turned to look at Lu-Song-Xi once more and continued, "This child is only thirteen, sir. However, his cultivation level is already at the Immortal stage. Moreover, there is another large monster beast beside him, and it is also on the Immortal stage.
Not only that, each of his subordinates is of a high level. The lowest level is considered to be at the primary level of the Nascent Soul stage."
.............?.............
Guan-Yang-Sen's words caused everyone in the hall to go silent. Even the sound of the wind could be heard. No one said anything because they were in shock and could not believe what they heard at both Zheng-Fu's level and his subordinate's level.
"A... About what Commander Guan said… You weren't just pranking us, right?" said the middle-aged man next to Guan-Yang-Sen, stuttering and simpering.
"You think I'm a joking person? And besides, even before the presence of His Majesty, you think I'd dare to do that!?" Guan-Yang-Sen turned around to answer the question the middle-aged man had asked just now.
Augh!
"All the stories that I know are just this, sir. As for the rest, almost nothing is known. Our people can't go in and search for more news, sir."
"Is that so...? Um... I'd like to meet him once as well. I feel something I can't explain after hearing his story from Commander just now. It makes me think that he must be the one who will help transform our Blueland," Lu-Song-Xi said with a little satisfied expression and a smile on the corner of his lips.
"I'd like to meet him too, Elder Brother!" The Third Prince, who was sitting next to Lu-Song-Xi, suddenly interjected after Lu-Song-Xi finished, with a happy and excited smile on his face. Then he turned to Guan-Yang-Sen and said, "Commander, if your people go to In-See City again, I'd like to go with them."
Huh...!?
"Younger Brother, you'll go to In-See City?" Lu-Song-Xi immediately turned around and asked the Third Prince with suspicion.
"Yes, Elder Brother, I'll go to In-See City to meet that boy," the Third Prince answered honestly with a warm smile at Lu-Song-Xi.
"In the next week at In-See City, there will be a big auction. That day, I will send some people over to look for information because in this auction, there is news that a kid named Zheng-Fu will also participate. I've heard that the items being auctioned off at this event will be elemental spiritual stones."
Elemental spiritual stones!?
As soon as the Third Prince heard the words 'elemental spiritual stone,' his eyebrows suddenly twitched, and a shocked expression appeared. That was because it reminded him of a person that he had met at the auction house that his friend had suggested at that time.
"Good!!! Then, in another week, I'll go with you," the Third Prince smiled broadly as he replied with an excited tone.
"Yes, sir!!!"
After going through the story of Zheng-Fu, the meeting continued with regard to the country and various stories from the borders of the country before it was over, and everyone dispersed. Only the Third Prince and Lu-Song-Xi were still in the conference hall.
"Younger Brother, tell me what you're thinking." As soon as everyone had left, Lu-Song-Xi asked the Third Prince.
"Ha ha ha… Elder Brother always knows my heart! That's right, I'm thinking about one thing. Do you still remember that a few months ago, at an auction house in the outer districts, the elemental spiritual stones suddenly joined the auction?" the Third Prince turned around and asked.
"I do. I still regret that I couldn't participate on time," Lu-Song-Xi replied with pity on his face that he could not attend the auction at that time. Then he spoke further, with a puzzled look on his face, "And what is it about this matter, Younger Brother?"
"I can't even tell if it's related or not. But my subconscious tells me that it is definitely related because I met someone at that auction. Throughout the auction, he bid on various items. But he refused to bid on the elemental spiritual stones.
Instead, he showed a joyful expression when someone offered a higher bid," the Third Prince replied with a puzzled look as he thought of the young man he had met.
"You're going to tell me that the one you met is the same person as that child?"
"I can't say for sure whether he's the same person or not. So, I'd like to go see it with my own eyes, sir. But even if he is the same person or not, I'd like to talk to him once anyway," said the Third Prince with a curious smile on his face, for he liked talented people no matter in which field.
"Then be careful. During this period, the situation in the country is not very good, especially at the border between Birdy Holy Fiery Heaven Country and us. Now they are starting to ignore the peace treaty. Even Greenland is the same," Lu-Song-Xi said sadly and heavily over this matter.
Because Blueland was now having to fight on both sides at the same time, he knew that it was absolutely impossible for him to really be able to deal with the war on both sides.
