Chapter 913 Sudden Reunion (2)



An hour later, the Mu Stellar Kingdom's royal palace was completely locked down as everyone was on high alert.

It wasn't that there was an enemy attacking, but rather they were preparing to welcome the Zi Stellar Kingdom's envoys.

All of the important ministers and generals had been summoned without exception and they were all currently waiting in the hall for the arrival of the Zi Stellar Kingdom envoys.

The only one that seemed out of place was Lin Fan.

Even if he had changed into formal wear that was provided by the palace staff, he was the one person that people didn't recognize.

However, they all knew that this person must be important to the Mu Stellar King based on the way that the Mu Stellar King treated him, so no one dared to rashly offend him. The only ones that had a different look on their faces were the minister that had picked them up and a few of the generals.

The minister had learned who Lin Fan was while preparing to receive the Zi Stellar Kingdom's envoys and when he received the report, he couldn't help revealing another look of disdain.

As for the generals, these were generals that had come back from the front line with Lin Fan. They had been injured and were sent back to the capital to recuperate, but they were the ones that had fought with Lin Fan when their camp had been invaded.

They had seen Lin Fan's power and many of them had even been saved by Lin Fan, so they looked at him with looks of admiration and gratitude.

Even with all of these people gathered in this main hall, there was only silence in the air as no one dared to speak.

Everyone understood how important the sudden arrival of this envoy from the Zi Stellar Kingdom was, so everyone was trying to figure out what to do. At the same time, no one dared to speak rashly or they would be forced to step up and take charge.

In fact, everyone tried to hide themselves as much as possible just so they wouldn't be noticed at all.

After a long period of silence, there was someone that came out from a side door and came to the Mu Stellar King's side.

Without care about the ministers and generals that stood in the hall, this person whispered something in the Mu Stellar King's ear before disappearing. After hearing what this person said, the Mu Stellar King couldn't help knitting his brows.

It didn't take a genius to understand what had happened.

In this situation, the only possibility for these actions was that the envoys from the Zi Stellar Kingdom were here.

The Mu Stellar King hesitated for a few seconds before waving his hand for one of his ministers to come over.

Everyone recognized who this was, this person was their best diplomat. He had been specially called into the palace earlier and had been waiting on standby near the Mu Stellar King the entire time.

The Mu Stellar King whispered a few things to him before waving his hand to send him off.

This diplomat didn't dare delay at all as he ran off with the subordinate that had arrived earlier.

Everyone took note of this and no one dared to make light of this.

They knew that this situation meant that the Zi Stellar Kingdom envoys would be arriving at any moment.

All of them took deep breaths and calmed themselves. At the same time, they focused their minds as much as possible.

After all, they would be meeting the people from the Zi Stellar Kingdom soon. They couldn't allow themselves to make even the slightest mistake in front of these people or the consequences would be unimaginable.

So soon, a tense atmosphere quickly filled the hall as no one said a word, but they all had serious looks on their faces.

They were all silently waiting for the arrival of the Zi Stellar Kingdom envoys.

As they waited in silence, they could feel the pressure of the silence. It was hard just remaining still like this knowing what was about to come up.

Finally, this silence was broken by the sounds of people walking through the halls.

Even though the doors were closed, it was quiet enough that they were able to hear a pin drop. Not to mention the sounds of the approaching footsteps outside the door. They almost rang out as clearly as thunder on a clear day.

As the footsteps came closer and closer, these people couldn't help feeling more and more nervous.

Finally, the doors to the hall opened and the group outside came in.

At the very front of the group was the diplomat who led them into the room. Behind the diplomat were the people that everyone in the hall actually cared about.

There were five of them in total, three of which were in normal formal dress and two of them who were covered in cloaks.

For them to wear cloaks in this kind of setting, it was clear that they weren't giving the Mu Stellar Kingdom any face. But even so, none of the ministers or generals could say a single thing and could only grit their teeth.

This group slowly made their way to the center of the hall and greeted the Mu Stellar King.

The one that spoke for this group was the man that walked up with the diplomat, addressing himself as Count Du of the Zi Stellar Kingdom.

He was just a simple count of the Zi Stellar Kingdom, but he was talking to the Mu Stellar King as if he was an equal. When he greeted him, he didn't kneel or bow, he just gave a simple nod to the Mu Stellar King.

But once again, the Mu Stellar Kingdom ministers and generals couldn't do anything other than grit their teeth and endure.

But they knew that based on this, the Zi Stellar Kingdom envoys were most likely here to cause trouble.

This created a sinking feeling in all of them because they knew that they would suffer this time. As for how much they would suffer, that would all depend on how far the Zi Stellar Kingdom was willing to take it.

After all, the Zi Stellar Kingdom wouldn't do this for no reason.

So the only reason that they would do this is most likely to see how much of the Tai and Bai Stellar Kingdom's territory they could take from the Mu Stellar Kingdom.

They had sent troops on behalf of the human race and to punish the Tai and Bai Stellar Kingdom. If they were to steal territory with this punitive force, it would hurt their reputation, which would create more losses than gains from taking the territory.

But if the Mu Stellar Kingdom were to offer this territory to them…then this would be considered a gift of gratitude from the Mu Stellar Kingdom and not land that they had plundered from another Stellar Kingdom. This would allow them to maintain their reputation and their place among the other Stellar Kingdoms.

Of course, no one would say a thing because it was the Zi Stellar Kingdom.

Or rather, no one dared to say a thing because it was the Zi Stellar Kingdom.

So suddenly sending an envoy to the Mu Stellar Kingdom…was most likely to discuss how much territory the Mu Stellar Kingdom should offer to the Zi Stellar Kingdom.

As for the disrespectful attitude that they had, it was just to show them that the Zi Stellar Kingdom was in a higher position so they would offer more territory. At the same time, if the Mu Stellar Kingdom were to attack them because of the provocation, they would have a justified reason to use force to show them the difference between them.

In the end, all of this was just an act to pressure the Mu Stellar Kingdom to offer more territory to the Zi Stellar Kingdom.

That was how the officials and generals of the Mu Stellar Kingdom saw it.

It was just too bad that they were completely wrong about this.

This Count Du didn't once bring up the topic of the war on the Tai and Bai Stellar Kingdom the entire time.

Strangely, the only thing that he talked about was pet training.

He talked about all different kinds of ways to train pets and how there were certain special ways to train pets out there.

All of the officials and generals were completely confused listening to this Count Du talk on and one. Even the Mu Stellar King couldn't help revealing a trace of confusion under that stern look.

Only Lin Fan had slightly knitted brows.

For some reason, he felt that these words that Count Du were saying were directed at him…

Finally, Count Du wrapped up his monologue by asking the Mu Stellar King, "Your majesty, have you ever encountered any strange pet training methods like this before?"

Though he asked the Mu Stellar King this, Lin Fan could tell that his gaze was more directed in his direction even though he was standing in a corner in the hall.

The Mu Stellar King also didn't miss this and he couldn't help being surprised.

Could it be that the Zi Stellar Kingdom's target was Lin Fan?

But they had covered up all information about Lin Fan's special abilities, so no one outside of the Mu Stellar Kingdom army should have known about this.

So why did it seem like they were targeting Lin Fan?

After a long period of silence, it was broken by a sudden laughter that filled the room.

This laughter came from one of the cloaked figures behind Count Du.

And for some reason, this laughter seemed very familiar to Lin Fan.
