The identity of every royal guard will be kept a secret, and since they are by my side, no one will spend too much effort trying to probe their origins”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Generals all maintained silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Elders kept contemplating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The majority of the people in the audience hall remained silent, only a few agreed: “His Majesty is right”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The atmosphere was filled with a sense of awkwardness that needn’t be spelled out in order to be recognized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The king looked over everyone, then smiled: “Since no one has any objections——”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「 No, that isn’t suitable 」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Water Pillar God cut off the king’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone instantly regained their senses and spoke at once: “Please grace us with your divine revelation, our Deity”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The king also lowered himself: “This humble one did not consider all things clearly, please excuse my impertinence, my Deity”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Water Pillar God didn’t even bother to glance at the king and directly declared: 「 As they are people brought to us by the Apostle, we should conduct a grand ceremony to notify everyone of their existence 」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Elder from the council of Elders came forward and knelt on one knee in front of Water God and bowed: “Your will shall be done, then, which level of ceremony should we hold for them? After all, we have never welcomed any outsiders before”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「 That is certainly a point to be considered, you are free to discuss among yourselves 」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying so, Water God smiled: 「 We cannot allow our guests to stand there and watch our discussions, that is highly inappropriate. Lead them to rest, have some food, and change their attires 」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Understood”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several maids came forward and led Gu Qing Shan’s group out of the audience hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Water God kept her sight on them as they gradually left, still maintaining a gentle smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「 Finally, we have some new blood 」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She muttered emotionally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A wide, open guest room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The walls were decorated with intricate patterns, the carpet made from the hide of a soft, white-furred animal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snacks and drinks had been amply prepared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several maids stood on standby, ready to receive their orders as soon as they needed to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The discussion will last for a very long time, please have some snacks”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A maid lifted a tray of snacks and came over to them, softly offering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this foreign environment, there was no telling what kinds of ability they would run into so how could they eat something that someone else offered so easily?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The maid appeared regretful, then hesitantly explained: “These snacks were intricately made, the taste of which cannot be compared”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying so, she retreated and was about to place the tray back onto the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her like that, Gu Qing Shan sensed something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Please give me a piece”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The maid came forward and lifted the tray.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan took a piece of snack from it, waited until Adorable confirmed that there were no skills affecting it before he put it in his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The snack certainly tasted good, the likes of which even Gu Qing Shan couldn’t imagine how it was made.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What extraordinary taste—— I want to trouble you for a bit, please tell me how you made this snack”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan picked up another piece of the snack and asked the maid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other maids were surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Ying Hao explained for him: “He’s a top-class gourmet chef, famous throughout the entirety of the 900 million World Layers. Many people would feel honored to enjoy his personal cooking”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The maids all displayed an understanding expression on their faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The maid who offered the food displayed an appropriate smile and replied: “This is a snack made for the royal family, the recipe of which is kept a secret that only royal family employees are allowed to know——- however, as you are our esteemed guests, we will try to ask and see if we can divulge the recipe to you, sir”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan nodded: “Then let me thank you in advance”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He and the maid paused for a brief moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The maid lowered her head, then silently retreated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone else kept quiet, still focused on resting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few moments later, several other maids arrived with formal clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Please change your clothes” the maids said in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Ying Hao walked up to check it and sent his voice to Gu Qing Shan: “No issues”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course, it would instead be strange if there are issues with such a minor thing” Gu Qing Shan replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A maid turned to Laura and said: “It is highly inconvenient for you to change your clothes here, please come with me to another room, we shall return right away”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Laura looked at Gu Qing Shan, full of hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Males and females must naturally keep distance, and since she was a noble Empress, she naturally couldn’t change her clothes right here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she was also anxious to leave Gu Qing Shan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan smiled and told her: “Come, big brother has something to tell you”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Laura walked up to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan raised the Silent Dusk Cloak to obscure the maids’ eyes and covered Laura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A short moment later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cloak was lowered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Have you remembered my words?” Gu Qing Shan asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Laura nodded: “Hm, I will keep big bro’s words in mind to not commit any rude action”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She nodded to everyone and left with the maid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few moments later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The maids seemed to have received some sort of news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They exchanged glances and bowed at once: “Please change your clothes there, we shall be with you shortly”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, go ahead. We’ve troubled you” Gu Qing Shan waved his hand to dismiss them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The maids went away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan turned to Zhang Ying Hao immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Ying Hao took a deep breath and spoke with a serious expression: “I have a few ways to escape pursuit, but this is a closed world, and the enemy’s forces are strong. Even if we can avoid their trap, we wouldn’t have anywhere to escape to”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need to worry about that, we need to prepare right away, they might spring the trap any moment now” Gu Qing Shan said in a low tone of voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Got it”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Ying Hao started to draw Cards from the void of space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boss had remained silent up to this point, but now suddenly asked: “You said earlier that Water God was probing us, what was she trying to find out?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan replied: “I want to know that as well”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying so, he released a deep blue mass of light from his hand—— just like the light that Water God released in the audience hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This grand light fell down and enveloped everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lines of glowing text swiftly appeared on the War God UI.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You’ve been temporarily equipped with the large-scale human war system super appraisal function]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You’ve obtained the following information:]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Zhang Ying Hao, human male.
