Chapter 1439: Royal Biwu Assembly = Royal Selection

"Lord Chen?"

Su Yang asked casually.

He did not know Chen Huan's name.

"No, no!" Chen Huan said hurriedly, frightened, "General Su, just call me Chen Huan."

"Alright then!" Su Yang looked around and asked, "Where is your Majesty?"

"His Majesty is holding a clan meeting and will be here shortly!" Chen Huan said, "He's mainly discussing tomorrow's Biwu Assembly with the clan elders. I've already sent word to him."

"Oh!"

"Please sit, General Su!"

"Mm!" Su Yang nodded.

No sooner had Su Yang sat down than palace maids came forward to serve them tea and refreshments.

"Xia Na, you sit too!"

Su Yang said, pointing at the chair beside him.

"General, I'd better stand!" Xia Na said, "I'm your adjutant to begin with!"

Xia Na stood behind Su Yang, her cute, delicate little face uncommonly stern, the bearing of a soldier impossible to ignore.

"Chen Huan, sit!"

"Never mind, His Majesty should be here soon!"

Since neither would sit, Su Yang did not press them. He picked up his teacup and took a light sip.

The tea slid down his throat, filling his mouth with fragrance, and he instantly felt refreshed and clear-headed.

He could sense that this tea gave even his spiritual power a slight boost.

He was now a Sovereign-Rank Top-Grade Beast Tamer, so even this small a boost was rather remarkable.

"Fine tea!"

"This is His Majesty's favorite Wumeng tea!" Chen Huan said with a smile, "Picked from a King-rank Wumeng Tea Demon — only a hundred leaves can be picked in a whole year. His Majesty is reluctant to drink even a little of it, and saves it specifically for honored guests like General Su."

"By the way, what's this royal Biwu Assembly all about?"

"To encourage and train the younger generation, our Qingluan Kingdom royal clan holds a Biwu Assembly every year. His Majesty will distribute more and better resources to outstanding juniors!"

"Oh!"

Su Yang still understood the family competition mechanism.

It was just like the youth Beast Tamer Biwu Assemblies held by the various military districts of the Huaxia Federation.

"The royal Biwu Assembly is not open to the public. Generally, only a few people close to the royal clan can receive an invitation."

"Mm!"

Three minutes later, Qin Longyun arrived.

"General Su, I was meeting with the clan elders just now and failed to greet you properly."

"It's fine, I haven't waited long either!"

After some pleasantries, Qin Longyun invited Su Yang to attend the Qingluan Kingdom's royal night banquet.

Su Yang nodded and agreed.

He was not afraid of Qin Longyun playing any tricks. First, the Earth Berserker Bear's crisis-sense was very reliable and had never failed — whenever a life-threatening danger appeared, it would give an early warning.

Second, if the other side really dared to make a move, Su Yang would simply level the whole of Qingluan City.

Qingluan City was indeed very large, bigger even than the Huaxia Federation's capital, but Su Yang only had to summon the Hell Blood Vine Flower and he could flatten Qingluan City in an instant…

"Chen Huan, arrange a guest room for General Su first."

Chen Huan led Su Yang to a side courtyard and arranged four pretty palace maids to attend him.

By evening, Chen Huan appeared again and invited Su Yang and Xia Na to the banquet.

When the two arrived, the palace banquet hall was already filled with long tables and wine seats, and the guests had mostly taken their places — close to a hundred of them.

The moment Su Yang and Xia Na appeared, they firmly drew everyone's attention.

At a royal night banquet, those in attendance were either members of the royal clan or important figures from friendly factions; everyone was in fact acquainted with one another.

Yet Su Yang and Xia Na were complete strangers!

"Who are these two?"

"Don't know."

"I heard they've been put up in the Xiaoxue Side Courtyard — His Majesty must value them highly!"

"…"

Qin Longyun sat at the head seat, with a poised, dignified, and strikingly beautiful woman to his right. Chen Huan led Su Yang straight to the empty seat on Qin Longyun's left.

Every guest present now wore a stunned expression!

The seating at this banquet was, after all, carefully arranged.

"Please, General Su!"

Qin Longyun gestured to the seat beside him.

Under everyone's gaze, Su Yang sat down with easy confidence.

Of course he was not intimidated!

He had taken a quick glance just now and was confident he could wipe out most of the banquet guests in a single move, and kill everyone except Qin Longyun within two…

So, he was perfectly calm!

"General Su, this is my wife Gong Qin!"

"Gong Qin, this is General Su Yang, a very formidable Beast Tamer!"

"Hello, Sister Gong!"

Su Yang greeted them with a smile.
