Chapter 154: Xiang Shaoyu's Invitation!

Great Jin Dynasty, Imperial Capital Imperial Palace.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, news has come from Zhang Kai in Shu City that Luo Shuiyan and her party were rescued by a mysterious Saint-level powerhouse and their whereabouts are currently unknown!"

A messenger in black was kneeling before Sima Qingtian at this moment, his face full of respect.

"A mysterious Saint-level powerhouse?!"

Upon hearing this news, Sima Qingtian could not help but frown.

Originally, he had assumed that with Zhang Kai, a peak Venerable Rank expert, taking action to kill Luo Shuiyan, there would be almost no surprises.

He had not expected that some mysterious Saint-level powerhouse would suddenly emerge.

Sima Qingtian had previously suspected whether Elder Guo might be secretly following Luo Shuiyan.

But now it seemed clearly not to be the case, because Zhang Kai recognized Elder Guo.

If it had been Elder Guo who took action, he would certainly have recognized him.

Could it be that behind Luo Shuiyan, there was yet another Saint-level powerhouse?!

Thinking of this, Sima Qingtian's expression grew even uglier.

A young woman with outstanding talent and an extremely deep mind had already made Sima Qingtian feel threatened.

That there might actually be two Saint-level powerhouses protecting her path was simply too heaven-defying, wasn't it?! Sima Qingtian had never imagined that Luo Shuiyan, who had never been to Shu City, could actually persuade Zhang Kai to voluntarily let them go.

At this time, Luo Shuiyan and her party had already successfully entered the territory of Da Chu.

Everyone was of the Human Race, and since it was currently not a time of war, this kind of ordinary cross-border entry was not checked particularly strictly.

Luo Shuiyan and the others decided to travel across the territory of Chu to reach Da Qin.

After two days of travel, the group had managed to get a taste of the foreign scenery.

They had all lived in Great Jin their entire lives, and one could even say they had mainly lived only in those few cities.

Now that they had arrived in another country, it was a unique experience.

"I've discovered that Chu seems to be quite a bit more prosperous than the Great Jin where we live."

Lin Xue'er could not help but let out a sigh of admiration.

As they walked these past few days, they discovered that whether it was large cities, small cities, or even villages and towns, the standard of living here was basically higher than in their Great Jin.

Ultimately, it was because of higher productivity.

Chu had no war, the residents lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the overall development of the country was better.

Jiang Che was also very comfortable along this journey; he no longer resented Luo Shuiyan traveling everywhere.

Along the way, they had already enjoyed quite a bit of scenery and had also experienced many different delicacies.

After living a second life, Jiang Che quite liked this life of looking at scenery and eating various exotic delicacies everywhere.

Although sleeping in a villa was also very comfortable, coming out to stroll around when there was nothing to do was still a very good experience.

This kind of life of traveling everywhere, eating various delicacies, and seeing various sceneries was something he wouldn't have dared to imagine in his previous life.

In his previous life, Jiang Che was either working overtime or on the way to work overtime.

Let alone traveling, he just ran back and forth between the company and his rented room every day.

Even when he finally got a vacation, he just wanted to lie on the bed and didn't want to move at all.

As for traveling, not to mention whether he had the energy, first of all, he didn't have the money...

Anyway, he was lying flat now, and it was the same wherever he lay flat.

Besides, he was being carried while traveling, which was simply too comfortable.

After another three days passed, Luo Shuiyan and the others arrived at a central city in Chu.

This place was already very close to the Imperial Capital of Chu.

Not long after the group checked into a hotel, Jiang Che discovered an anomaly in the surroundings.

In his Holographic Perspective, the Imperial Grandson of Chu, whom he had seen at Canglan Mountain, had actually arrived here at this moment.

And by his side, he was followed by several Venerable Rank powerhouses. Jiang Che frowned slightly and immediately sent a voice transmission to the others.

"Everyone be careful, the Imperial Grandson of Chu who we slapped in the face at Canglan Mountain has come."

"And this guy isn't alone; he has several Venerable Rank powerhouses with him!"

Hearing these words from Jiang Che, Lin Xue'er and the others immediately became alert; being within the territory of Chu was not like being at Canglan Mountain.

Previously at Canglan Mountain, they could choose not to give face to this Xiang grandson.

But now this was the territory of the Xiang family, and the other party had brought Venerable Rank powerhouses, which made the group have to suspect the purpose of Xiang Shaoyu.

However, upon hearing these things, Luo Shuiyan appeared very calm, without the slightest surprise, as if she had already anticipated this.

Sure enough, not long after, a knock on the door was heard.

After the group exchanged glances, Hu Xiaoxiao stepped forward to open the door.

Sure enough, it was exactly the Imperial Grandson of the Great Chu Dynasty whom they had met at Canglan Mountain, Xiang Shaoyu!

"Everyone, long time no see!"

Xiang Shaoyu looked at the people in the room and smiled very politely, his attitude extremely humble.

Three years had passed, and the King's Hegemonic Qi on this Imperial Grandson was even stronger than before, and his imperial bearing was increasingly outstanding.

The key was that compared to before, he had also become much more mature and steady.

Three years ago, Xiang Shaoyu was sharp and exposed, but now he had restrained himself much more, yet the confidence in his eyes was even more intense than before.

Seeing the Imperial Grandson of Chu before them, Lin Xue'er and the other two were a bit nervous for a moment.

After all, they had some grievances before; back at Canglan Mountain, they had not given the Imperial Clan of Chu the slightest bit of face.

Now that they were being hunted by the Crown Prince of Da Jin and had arrived on the Xiang family's turf, it was inevitable that they felt a bit constrained.

"It has indeed been a few years."

Luo Shuiyan walked forward at this moment; her tone was very calm, and no emotional ripples could be heard.

"Since you have traveled from the Great Jin Dynasty from afar, you are truly honored guests."

"As the eldest imperial grandson of Da Chu, how could I not fulfill the duties of a host?"

"You are all outstanding figures of the younger generation of our Human Race; why not come to the Imperial Palace of Da Chu as guests?"

Xiang Shaoyu looked at the group and extended an invitation in a soft voice.

Among the many powers on this continent, it is inevitable that there are some secret agents between them.

In fact, the imperial family of Da Chu had already learned some rumors about the Great Jin Imperial Family making a move against Luo Shuiyan.

Therefore, when Luo Shuiyan and her party arrived in Chu, they had already attracted the attention of the Xiang family.

The imperial family of Da Chu was very happy about this, as in their view, Luo Shuiyan and the others had come to the Shu Kingdom to seek refuge.

Every one of Luo Shuiyan's group was a rare genius.

Among the young people, they were absolutely top-tier existences.

Even at the same age, the talent of their Da Chu royal family might not necessarily be as monstrous as Luo Shuiyan's.

If such outstanding talents could be kept to serve Da Chu, it would simply be a tremendous joy.

That is why Xiang Shaoyu, who had met Luo Shuiyan and the others before, came to extend the invitation in person.

This move by the Xiang family actually made Jiang Che feel somewhat favorable toward them.

"It seems the vision of this Chu royal family is much higher than that of the Great Jin Imperial Family."

In Da Jin, they were considered a threat, and the authorities wished to eradicate them as soon as possible.

Now that they had arrived in another country, they were instead treated as a hot commodity, with the royal family coming to invite them in person.
