Chapter 155: Why Does This Feel Like a Pyramid Scheme!

After hearing Xiang Shaoyu's words, Luo Shuiyan's expression remained neither humble nor pushy; she simply gave him a faint smile.

"Since you have so kindly extended an invitation, we shall respectfully accept."

Luo Shuiyan did not show the slightest bit of nervousness or hesitation, agreeing directly to the Great Chu Imperial Family's invitation.

"Hahaha! Good! You are truly a heroine among women; I did not misjudge you. How refreshing!"

"In that case, we shall await you all in the Imperial Capital!"

Regarding Luo Shuiyan's calm attitude, Xiang Shaoyu felt not a shred of dissatisfaction; instead, he laughed heartily with great delight and turned to leave, without the slightest bit of dawdling.

The Xiang Family cultivates the Royal Hegemonic Qi, and they possess a deep-seated confidence in their bones.

They believe in their own strength, capable of governing the people of the world.

Therefore, this kind of magnanimity and vision of the Xiang Family is naturally something the Sima Family of the Great Jin Imperial Family cannot compare to.

Sima Qingtian is too calculating, and his character is too petty.

The next morning, the four of them, Luo Shuiyan included, headed toward the Imperial Capital.

The central city where they were currently staying was very close to the Chu Imperial Capital, and they arrived successfully after two hours.

As for the Xiang Family, it could be said they attached great importance to Luo Shuiyan and the others.

They had long since arranged personnel in advance; the moment the four of them arrived at the Imperial Capital, someone came out to welcome them.

The Great Chu Imperial Family had even prepared carriages for the group's Spirit Beasts.

Although the Great Chu Imperial Family's attitude was very friendly, no one knew if any accidents would occur.

After all, the most heartless are those of the imperial house; no one knows what they might do.

To prevent the Xiang Family from revealing their true intentions once inside the Imperial Palace, Jiang Che sent a voice transmission to the others in advance.

"Try not to stray too far from me in a moment. If the situation looks wrong, I will use Teleportation to take you all away from here."

After such a long time, Jiang Che finally revealed this trump card for survival to them.

Upon learning that Jiang Che actually possessed a Teleportation skill, Lin Xue'er and the other two were immediately shocked, each of them wearing a face full of surprise.

"Teleportation?! No way! Xiaobai, you can actually take people with you when you teleport? This skill is too cool!"

After hearing this, Hu Xiaoxiao's eyes immediately sparkled, and she looked at Jiang Che with a face full of admiration.

Lin Xue'er also asked with great curiosity: "Xiaobai, how far is the distance of this Teleportation of yours?"

Little Tiger, Xiao Hei, and the other Spirit Beasts also crowded over at this time, looking at Jiang Che with curiosity.

They were also very curious about just how many heaven-defying abilities their boss still had.

"It's alright, about ten thousand miles or so."

Jiang Che said very casually.

A distance of ten thousand miles is not just ordinarily far; even a Saint-level expert could not possibly sense them from such a great distance.

Even if they were to track the group, it would likely take half a day to catch up.

Lin Xue'er and the others immediately became incredibly excited; with this ability of Jiang Che's, the pressure in their hearts plummeted instantly.

The reason the few of them were somewhat nervous was merely because this place was the territory of the Great Chu Imperial Family, filled with Xiang Family experts everywhere.

But if they had Jiang Che's Teleportation, then those pressures would vanish into thin air.

At worst, they could just run away at the end; the other side wouldn't be able to catch them anyway.

They might as well treat this trip to the Great Chu Imperial Palace as a visit for sightseeing.

"Sure enough, Xiaobai never does anything without being certain."

The corners of Luo Shuiyan's mouth lifted, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

Based on her usual understanding of Jiang Che, if he encountered something dangerous, Jiang Che would definitely choose to be the first to run away.

Jiang Che's principle of conduct had always been that it is better to avoid trouble than to invite it.

Yet this time, heading to the Great Chu Imperial Palace where numerous experts were gathered—it was no exaggeration to call it a dragon's pool and a tiger's den. Since Jiang Che had rarely not opposed it, Luo Shuiyan had already guessed in her heart that Xiaobai must have some bottom-line survival methods.

Moreover, she herself had similar means; once danger occurred, she could likewise take everyone and escape the Great Chu Imperial Palace safely.

This was also the source of the confidence Luo Shuiyan had in facing the Chu Xiang Family so calmly.

"You all truly did not break your promise. Please, come in quickly; the banquet is about to begin!"

Xiang Shaoyu stood personally at the gate of the Imperial Palace to welcome them, which could be said to have given the group plenty of face.

He led Luo Shuiyan and the others into the interior of the Imperial Palace, arriving at a magnificent great hall.

At this moment, Luo Shuiyan and the others noticed that the great hall was already filled with banquet tables, and many prominent figures of the Great Chu nation were present.

Luo Shuiyan and the others noticed that the seat at the head was still empty, though they presumed no one would be coming there.

Because that was the seat of the Emperor of the Da Chu.

With the arrival of Luo Shuiyan's party, the gazes of everyone in the great hall turned toward them one after another.

On a chair to the side below the head seat sat a middle-aged man with an upright posture and a heroic bearing.

This person was none other than the current Crown Prince of Great Chu, Xiang Tianhua.

Just like Sima Qingtian of the Da Jin, he held the position of Crown Prince and performed the duties of supervising the state.

"I have long heard of the reputations of the four young talents; it is a pity you were far away in Jin, and we never had the chance to meet."

"Seeing you today, you young friends are indeed extraordinary!"

Xiang Tianhua's attitude was not in the least bit arrogant; he simply looked at Luo Shuiyan and the others, smiling lightly as he praised them.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Xiang Shaoyu led Luo Shuiyan and the others to their seats.

"Now that you young friend Luo have come to our Great Chu, I presume you have already seen quite a bit of the scenery of my Chu nation these past few days."

"How is it? I wonder what your impression of my Chu nation is?"

Xiang Shaohua asked with a smile.

Seeing this, Luo Shuiyan cupped her hands slightly, then smiled faintly: "The Chu nation is stable and free of war, and the residents live in peace and work happily; it is indeed a scene of prosperity."

"Along our journey, we have seen many scenes of the people living in prosperity; it is truly quite good."

After hearing Luo Shuiyan's praise for his country, Xiang Shaohua nodded with satisfaction.

"Since that is the case, I wonder what plans you and your companions have now?"

"My Chu is currently very welcoming to outstanding young talents like you all..."

Jiang Che raised an eyebrow slightly upon hearing this; just as Luo Shuiyan had predicted, the Xiang family had come to recruit them.

After listening to Xiang Shaohua's words, Luo Shuiyan merely smiled faintly; she neither refused nor agreed, but instead spoke slowly.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is too kind. The Human Race is one body; no matter where one goes, one naturally feels a sense of closeness and no feeling of being a stranger, even if it is in a different country."

"However, the Demon Race is currently eyeing us covetously, while our Human Race is gradually weakening. In my view, we should be united as one."

"Although the Demon Race has internal strife, once external threats arise, they will twist into a single rope."

"Our Human Race is the exact opposite; although we seem very united, even during times of war with the Demon Race, there are many internal conflicts."

"In my view, since we are all of the Human Race, we should be united as one and hold the world in our hearts..."

At this moment, in front of the Crown Prince of Chu and many powerful officials of Chu, Luo Shuiyan began to speak eloquently once again.

From the great cause of the Human Race, she spoke of the cruelty of war, and then discussed the future of the Human Race...

Jiang Che felt that Luo Shuiyan was simply like a missionary traveling between nations.

Back in the Da Jin, Luo Shuiyan had stirred up a whirlwind, and now that she had arrived in Chu, she was starting a new lecture.

Jiang Che was even a little worried that the Great Chu Imperial Family might end up trying to steal a chicken only to lose the rice, suffering a double loss...
