Chapter 84: The Person Who Came Out of the White Jade Palace (Sixth Update)

  Manni City was located in the north, leaning against the Sunset Mountain Range, with the vast expanse of the Kanris Desert to its west and the White Commandery Sea to its south. Its area was at least ten times that of the Chrysanthemum City.

  This is a city that can accommodate tens of millions of people and is already comparable to some small countries.

  The wealth of Manny City is far beyond that of some small countries, and even surpasses that of some dynasties. And yet, it is merely the location of a branch of the Continental Chamber of Commerce.

  It's already one o'clock in the middle of the night, but Manny City is still brightly lit. From a bird's-eye view, the entire city looks like a dazzling gemstone, and at its center is a massive white jade building.

  The White Jade Stone is a precious stone material on the Continent of Gods, with a pure white and transparent texture, hard in quality and warm in winter and cool in summer. It is the most valuable building material. Even if the empire has many rich people, at most they can only make a bed or a chair, which is already enough to show their wealth, because such a piece of White Jade Stone furniture costs around 100 million gold coins! Probably no one dares to think about using White Jade Stone as the main building material, except for the Continental Chamber of Commerce.

  The residence of all the presidents of the mainland Chamber of Commerce is built with white jade stone and named "White Jade Palace".

  From the air, the White Jade Palace is in a cross shape. At the intersection of the cross, there is a 20-meter-high golden pagoda-shaped tower. On top of it is a flag with a white background and a red cross, which is exactly the logo of the Continental Chamber of Commerce.

  "Sir, Manny City no longer belongs to any country. Here, national identity and status are not respected, only money and power matter. Moreover, Manny City is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, we need to be careful in our actions." Vandy Sell hastily explained the situation in Manny City, fearing Li Xie's self-conceit.

  Li Xie nodded, understanding what Vandy Sell meant. As the Duke of Manni City, he wasn't someone who could summon the wind and rain at will. The 10th-level Sword Saint and 9th-level Giant Dragon by his side weren't people who could act tyrannically either. Now that it was late at night, they couldn't just think about calling the President of the Guild out of bed.

  "Let's go, we'll go down and find a place to stay for the night, and then visit the branch director again tomorrow morning."

  The next day, Li Xie didn't go to the residence of the branch president early in the morning. Instead, he strolled around the White Jade Palace in Manny City until nearly noon before heading to the White Jade Palace.

  This move was just in case Sandor Kocsis was still sleeping, and when the time came, he would be locked out and it would be embarrassing. After all, Li Xie, as the lord of the three cities and the king's uncle, but in Manni City, one city is ten times larger than Chrysanthemum City! Just in terms of territory, Li Xie, this duke must add a "small" in front of him!

  Entering "Van Gogh Manor", the White Jade Palace was in the center of Van Gogh Manor, different from what I had imagined. The place where the Continental Chamber of Commerce's branch president lived, surprisingly didn't see any guards!

  Apart from the pavilions and kiosks in the villa showing a slightly Chinese style, it wasn't until I reached the front of the White Jade Palace that I saw two guards standing outside the arched gate. As for those encountered along the way, they were mostly servants trimming the gardens.

  At the gate, Li Xie happened to meet a group of twelve people who came in from another door. The leader had two eight-character beards and an eerie appearance. Li Xie recognized him at a glance.

  "Damn it! Damn the prince! Long time no see!" Li Xie burst out laughing, old friends reunited, feeling extremely delighted, and if there's a chance to rake in some gold coins, that would be even better.

  Gede Wangzi was called out by Li Xie, and upon seeing Li Xie himself, he immediately felt a chill: Oh my god! How did I run into this guy?! It can't be that thing is also...?!

  He saw the man's eyes darting back and forth, sizing Li Xie up and down, but finally not seeing that blue ominous beast, his hanging heart relaxed by half. However, this person in front of him still left Ge Rituo Wangzi's heart suspended in mid-air.

  This guy is a total embarrassment, all his gold was taken away, and he returned from his mission to another country with no accomplishments.

  It's said that enemies meeting is a special sight to behold, especially in this region not belonging to the Tudor dynasty. Prince Gideon should have immediately ordered his attendants to take down Li Xie, but he recognized Zaynernard beside him and knew he was a 10th-tier Sword Saint, while his own attendants were only 6th or 7th tier, with even the strongest being an 8th-tier expert who didn't seem like they could be Zaynernard's match.

  So he could only endure it!

  "Hmph!" Prince Gerd said with a smile that didn't reach his eyes: "Indeed it's been a long time, Duke Xia!"

  "Haha……" Li Xie walked over, walking with him towards the gate: "Younger brother recently moved to Chrysanthemum City to live, and is even farther away from your Great Day Dynasty. Often thinking of that dog day's prince, when will that dog day's prince come to Chrysanthemum City as a guest? The expenses will be fully covered by younger brother me."

  "Thank you, Duke Xie, for your kind intentions. However, I, the prince, am busy with state affairs and have no time to play around. If Duke Xie were to come to my Great Day Dynasty as a guest, I would definitely treat him with great hospitality, covering all expenses, and even give him countless fine wines and gold coins. And if you dare to come, I will give you 100 million gold coins for your funeral."

  "Hey, little brother is also busy with things, but as soon as he hears about fine wine and gold coins, his spirit lifts. In that case, I'll take the fine wine and gold coins first, and we can talk about visiting later. Bring me the fine wine and gold coins!"

  Huh?!

  Can you be more shameless than this?

  Prince Ge Rite suddenly realized that he was powerless to mock the man in front of him who was laughing so ridiculously. Since he had nothing to say, he simply didn't respond and quickly walked up the steps, just about to enter the White Jade Palace gate when he was stopped by the guard.

  "Halt!"

  Gede Wangzi didn't dare to show off his nobility here, so he took out two transparent crystal cards from the space ring and smiled: "I'm here to discuss business with Director Koci, please introduce me, this is my..."?

  Before he could finish speaking, a guard knocked the crystal card out of his hand and looked down at Prince Ge Rituo with disdain: "Get out of here!"

  "Hey!" Prince Ge Rite dared to be angry but didn't say a word, and actually stood honestly on one side, yet he couldn't walk away or move forward, feeling quite embarrassed.

  Li's eyebrow arched, his tone dripping with cold sarcasm: "The Continental Chamber of Commerce's branch president must be too affable, to the point where even the dogs he raises dare to deceive their master, making decisions for him and refusing guests from afar."

  Li Xie's words were not meant to sympathize with Prince Ge Rite, but rather a genuine expression of his dislike for the two guards.

  They can scold Prince Geordie like that, they can also scold Duke Li Xie like that.

  A mere guard, yet so arrogant and overbearing. The dog dares to bully the master's guest! Li Xie didn't want to be polite with them anyway. Since they had to meet President Keqisi, they wouldn't be able to see him without entering the White Jade Palace. They might as well stir up some trouble and force President Keqisi out.

  Li Ye said this, just wanting to stir up trouble.

  The two guards merely cast a cold glance at Li Xie's sarcasm and stood up straight, continuing to act as door gods.

  Li Xie was slightly surprised by this, these two guards dared to scold Ge Rite Wangzi, they should be the kind of people who rely on powerful connections, mocking them a few times should have been able to make them angry and take action, how come they were so dutiful and still guarding their posts?

  Just as he was about to mock them a couple more times, Fan Di Sel suddenly pulled Li Xie back and whispered: "Sir, these two are tenth-tier Sword Saints!"

  These words caused Li Ye's mocking words to be swallowed back, and he asked in surprise: "Really?"

  Zayn nodded: "Won't be wrong!"

  Li Ye couldn't help but widen his eyes in shock!

  These two masters' attire is merely that of bodyguards, put bluntly, they're just doorkeepers!

  The gatekeeper is already a 10th-level expert? And there are two of them?!

  Li Xie had two tenth-tier masters as his attendants, but the status of these personal bodyguards was far from comparable to that of ordinary guards. If there were two tenth-tier masters serving as guards, then he must have had many more tenth-tier masters at his disposal, and it could be inferred that his attendants were likely to be saint-level masters.

  "The president of the Continental Chamber of Commerce, the doorman is actually a tenth-level Sword Saint. Indeed, it's above the Empire! No, the Empire can't even compare!" Li Xie couldn't help but exclaim.

  Vandy Sell shook his head beside him: "Sir, although the Continental Chamber of Commerce has a comprehensive strength higher than that of the Empire, it is absolutely impossible for them to have the power to make tenth-grade masters act as ordinary bodyguards, let alone gatekeepers."

  Li Ye looked puzzled: "What do you mean?"?

  Fan Di Xuan said in a low voice: "I estimate that at this time, inside the White Jade Palace, there are the true masters of these two!"

  Vandy's words were not intentionally lowered, and the people around him could hear clearly. Prince Gideon and Li Xie were also shocked, while the two guards had a few more proud eyes.

  At this time, three people walked out of the White Jade Palace, with a clear order from front to back.

  The person in the front, wearing a purple brocade robe, walked with his hands behind his back and took big strides. His face was vaguely discernible, but his aura made Li Xie have a thought of retreating!

  To be exact, except for Li Xie, everyone including Fang Di and Ze Nard took two steps back!

  Who is this person who casually emits an aura that can intimidate a top ten expert?

  To his right, slightly behind him, was a middle-aged man with a slight stoop in his walk and a kind smile on his face. He wore a grey robe that seemed to have the flavor of ancient China. This slightly plump middle-aged man gave people a very kind and approachable feeling, and he also had a special scholarly air about him.

  The person walking at the back was dressed in black, expressionless, but his eyes were filled with visible respect. He deliberately changed his pace to keep a distance from the man in the middle, and he seemed to be a well-trained servant.

  The positions of the three were clear at a glance. The one in front walked to the door, stopped for a moment, and his eyes fell on Li Xie, the only one who had not retreated.

  His face was like a frosted glass in Li Xie's eyes, but Li Xie could clearly feel his gaze, like two needles piercing into Li Xie's brain, causing Li Xie's head to ache for a moment. It only hurt for a moment, and then there was no other feeling, but it made Li Xie extremely angry.

  He knew it was this blurry figure in front of him who was playing tricks!

  "What's your name?" The man surprisingly asked Li Ye first, with a tone of surprise.

  Li Xie was annoyed by his gaze and tone, "When asking others, you should introduce yourself first. Isn't this basic courtesy?"

  This remark enraged one of the guards at the gate, who immediately shouted: "You're looking for death!"

  He was about to take action, but the person with an unclear face made a "hmm" sound, startling the guard who hastily retreated. Only then did he hear the man say in a calm tone: "I am the master of the White Sea, Orlant Nepchyun."
