Chapter 156: Arrival in Xianyang, a Timed Letter!

Luo Shuiyan's high-minded discourse caused everyone present to cast sidelong glances.

The high officials and dignitaries of Chu in the great hall did not expect that Luo Shuiyan, being so young, would possess such insight.

Her heart was set on the great cause of the Human Race, and her words were all about the revival of the entire species.

"Miss Luo's words truly make us feel ashamed!"

"Think back to those years; the Great War between Humans and Demons was so tragic. To guard our Human territory and defend our homeland, how many of our Human predecessors buried their bones on the battlefield."

"Yet nowadays, the entire Human Race is filled with profit and power struggles everywhere."

"The Human Beast Tamers of the past were each filled with hot-blooded passion and concern for the world."

"But now, a brief peace has made everyone forget the tragedy of those years..."

"The Demon Race still eyes our Human Race covetously, yet everyone only focuses on immediate gains."

"Just as Miss Luo said, the Human Race is already weaker than the Demon Race, yet we still harbor suspicion and guard against one another. I never expected that such a young lady, Miss Luo, would have such vision..."

In the great hall, an old man with graying hair sighed incessantly after hearing Luo Shuiyan's speech, his brow full of sorrow.

This person was clearly moved by Luo Shuiyan's words.

Youth is never lacking in hot-blooded passion, and everyone present had walked through those years of youthful high spirits.

It is just that along the path of growth, they gradually forgot the version of themselves that was once filled with that hot-blooded passion...

Now, hearing such words from Luo Shuiyan, everyone felt deeply moved in their hearts.

It seemed as if they were lamenting the current situation of the Human Race, or perhaps they were lamenting their own lives.

Luo Shuiyan's words resonated with many people; at this moment in the great hall, many began to nod and praise Luo Shuiyan.

"This girl is truly extraordinary!"

"No wonder that Sima family wanted to put her to death!"

Witnessing the situation in the great hall, the Crown Prince of Da Chu felt his eyelids twitch.

With just a few words, Luo Shuiyan had filled these powerful Chu officials in the hall with goodwill toward her.

Not everyone possesses this kind of ability; ordinary people saying a few pleasant, empty words would not convince these high-ranking officials of Chu.

Just a moment ago, Xiang Shaohua sensed that a unique pressure seemed to be radiating from Luo Shuiyan!

This pressure was somewhat similar to the Royal Hegemonic Qi cultivated by the Great Chu Imperial Family.

But the invisible majesty on Luo Shuiyan was even more powerful!

Moreover, Luo Shuiyan always released an energy that made people willing to submit from the bottom of their hearts! Xiang Shaohua could not understand how such a unique temperament could be influenced by status and position.

Luo Shuiyan was merely a commoner from Jianghai City; how could she possess such Imperial Qi?! "Sister Shui Yan is truly a great speaker. I see that the way these people from Chu look at her has changed..."

"Yeah, yeah, we don't have that kind of eloquence!"

"Back when we gave speeches at the academy, it was basically all Shui Yan's masterpiece. We can't compare to her eloquence."

Luo Shuiyan was holding court over there, and after trying to get a word in for a long time, Hu Xiaoxiao and the others simply started eating.

Anyway, Xiang Shaoyu had said they were just guests this time.

"Why don't we let Sister Shui Yan come over to eat something first!"

Looking at the eloquent Luo Shuiyan, Lin Xue'er could not help but say softly.

They had not eaten since they set off, and Lin Xue'er wanted Luo Shuiyan to eat something first.

"Little Xue, you don't need to worry about her. Don't worry, someone will call her to eat!" Yi Zimeng said with a soft laugh toward Lin Xue'er.

Having said that, the three women joined Jiang Che and began to eat like a whirlwind.

The delicacies cooked by the Chu Imperial Family were delicious, with perfect color, aroma, and taste.

The three of them were already restless the moment they smelled the fragrance.

Plus, they were already hungry, so they didn't care about their table manners and immediately began to wolf down the food.

Anyway, with Jiang Che there—who had the worst table manners—to cover for them, the three had nothing to worry about.

Meanwhile, Luo Shuiyan was delivering an inspiring speech and hadn't even had a chance to drink any water after talking for so long.

Just as she was about to continue, the Chu Crown Prince Xiang Shaohua felt his mouth twitch and hurriedly waved his hand at her.

"Miss Luo has come from afar and must be tired. Why not sit down, rest, and drink some wine to relieve your fatigue!"

"You are a young person from Jin; it just so happens that today you can also sample the delicacies of our Chu."

Xiang Shaohua really did not want Luo Shuiyan to continue speaking.

He discovered that he had truly underestimated Luo Shuiyan's ability.

It was supposed to be a simple chat, but it ended up being turned into a solo lecture by Luo Shuiyan. The most critical thing was that many people in the hall were moved by what Luo Shuiyan said.

"Very well! Since that is the case, I shall respectfully comply."

Luo Shuiyan also knew that she shouldn't be too hasty, so she cupped her hands toward Xiang Shaohua and smiled slightly.

She then sat down and began to eat; after all, having spoken for so long, Luo Shuiyan was indeed hungry.

Xiang Shaohua shook his head and helplessly drank a cup of wine.

Originally, he had wanted to recruit Luo Shuiyan and her group.

But every time the topic reached that point, it would be dragged by Luo Shuiyan into the grand trends of the world and the prosperity of the Human Race...

This made it difficult for him to continue the recruitment, otherwise, it would make his own stature seem low...

Without further discussion of recruitment, everyone just exchanged simple pleasantries. "Many thanks for your hospitality, Your Highness the Crown Prince. We sisters have some matters to attend to and need to be on our way as soon as possible."

"We won't continue to trouble you."

The banquet ended, and after Luo Shuiyan and the others were wined and dined, they proposed their departure.

The Great Chu Imperial Family was quite magnanimous and did not harbor suspicion just because Luo Shuiyan had politely declined their recruitment.

Instead, they even intended to arrange a special train for them, but Luo Shuiyan politely declined.

Luo Shuiyan and the others sat on Xiaohuo's back.

Right now, Xiaohuo flying through the air with them is completely fine.

"Xiao Hei, did you remember the scents of everyone at the banquet just now?"

"Don't worry, Boss, I've remembered them all; I won't make any mistakes!" Xiao Hei hurriedly nodded and said.

To Jiang Che, the only presentable ability of the Howling Divine Dog is identifying scents.

Now, under Jiang Che's discipline, Xiao Hei has finally learned his lesson.

The journey was very peaceful.

The Great Chu Empire did not come to cause trouble for the four of them, and half a month later, the group finally arrived at the northeastern border of Great Chu.

Crossing this border, one enters the territory of Great Qin.

The entire Great Qin Empire is only about one-sixth the size of Great Chu.

"Everyone pay attention, ahead is the Great Qin Empire."

At this moment, a section of city wall appeared in front of Luo Shuiyan and the others.

The guards here are relatively few, unlike Great Chu, which has dense crowds of soldiers stationed there.

After all, the national strength of the two countries cannot be compared.

Landing outside the city, Luo Shuiyan and the others registered and then entered the city gate.

Hearing that the group came from Great Jin, the guards at the city gate paid a little more attention.

"People from Great Jin, interesting..."

Not long after, a young man appeared on the city wall, quietly watching the backs of Luo Shuiyan and her group as they walked away.

The Imperial Capital of Great Qin is Xianyang City, located relatively close to the other border.

If that border were to be breached by the Demon Race, the Demon Race could strike directly at the Qin capital.

Someone in Qin once suggested moving the capital, but the successive monarchs of Great Qin all rejected this proposal.

Not long after Luo Shuiyan and her group entered Great Qin, in the central region of the Da Jin.

A towering mountain rose into the clouds, filled with an ethereal immortal aura.

This is the location of the Xiaotian Sect's headquarters.

At this moment, outside the sect's main hall, a young man hurried in.

"Reporting to the Sect Master, someone has delivered a letter for you, said to be from someone named Luo Shuiyan!"

"A letter from Luo Shuiyan?"

"Bring it here quickly!"

The dignified middle-aged man sitting in the seat of honor said with an excited face upon hearing this.

This middle-aged man is none other than Hu Xiaoxiao's father.

The Sect Master of the Xiaotian Sect, Hu Xuance! (End of this chapter)
