"In front of national interests, everything can be put aside." The fifth prince, if he hadn’t seen the power of this Aegean Saint Xiao firsthand, might have already struck a fatal blow.
However, no matter how strong the opponent’s power, it couldn’t stop the fifth prince’s desire for these peerless pearls.
"What are these five pearls? I also have a ’Thunder Hidden Pearl,’ and four magic immunity Dragon Balls! I can promise you, if the Tang Zang Empire ever needs me, as an ally, I will not hesitate to lend a hand!" Liu Zhenhan secretly contemplated whether he should act and seize them; things weren’t looking good, the expression of the fifth prince was increasingly unsettling!
Such a promise is not simple. Borrowing troops for warfare may be unrealistic, but inviting one or two powerful mages for external assistance can definitely turn the tide in critical moments.
If Liu wasn’t standing in the same trench as the Aegean Humans now, he wouldn’t have been able to invite five Great Magicians to help attack the Flower Court.
How can the nation’s weapons be granted to others so easily?
Such a promise to high-status Great Magicians and national leaders rarely contains any elements of playfulness.
The fifth prince hesitated upon hearing this; if what the Flower King described was true, was it worth risking life to tear faces and rob treasures?
"Forget it, forget it, I’ll give you this ’Zhai Dai Finger Ring.’" Liu Zhenhan quietly cursed his luck, thinking it was impossible not to bleed a bit today. Fortunately, this ring only contained one Golden Figure and a pile of scrap copper.
After struggling for half a day, the fifth prince reluctantly returned the stakes to Liu.
Looking at the demeanor of the fifth prince, it seemed as if these peerless pearls and Thousand-year Jade Bell Milk weren’t Liu’s treasures but were his belongings.
Reluctantly sharing the Zhai Dai summoning spell with the fifth prince, Liu secretly swore never to play this thrilling scene again; treasures in others’ hands were truly unsafe. Despite helping the Tang Zang Empire with such a big task, the fifth prince still became tempted by wealth.
"This is a Seven-degree Golden Spatial Ring, containing treasures from the subterranean palace of the Seven Treasures Pagoda. Now I’m giving you the ring as well." Liu Zhenhan stuffed a tear-shaped crown-like ring into the fifth prince’s hand, also quelling the prince’s lingering resentment.
"I’ll have True Monarch send a few disciples over; they’ll accompany you back shortly." The fifth prince sighed heavily and summoned a golden commander to give some instructions.
"There’s talk that’s inconvenient here. From now on, let’s maintain a direct line of communication." Liu Zhenhan handed over a Biyaqiao 3000, a big brick-like device, to the fifth prince.
"It’s settled!" Ventéclair and Xiao Kong stood beside Liu, wiping the sweat off their faces.
"Take them along, let’s go home." Liu Zhenhan gestured towards the "Wind and Dust Four Flowers."
"Your Majesty... ’Hero Conference’ still has three days remaining." The fifth prince rubbed his temples: "It’s not good for you to leave ."
"If someone challenges us, we can come back. Isn’t it easy with the ’magic teleportation array’?" Liu Zhenhan laughed heartily, thinking no one caught evidence of Summer Palace guards moving against the Flower Court; who would believe unfounded charges? Has Florence ever feared one-on-one contests?
Moreover, Florence holds the initiative in the magic teleportation array; deciding whether to come back to the Silk Continent depends on the situation. After stirring up a mess without settling, coming back requires caution about the winds.
Only then did the fifth prince recall the recent warning from the ’Tower Guardian’ immortal master--this Flower King is untouchable; he’s inherently a calamity wherever he goes, there’s unrest. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novèlfire.net
Tactfully under the guise of shopping, he tricked the "Wind and Dust Four Flowers" back to Florence. Just as he set up ten Silk Fungus Men, Liu Zhenhan’s bone-linked treasure box rang, it was a call from Yi Tiao.
After comforting Yi Tiao, who was on the verge of heartbreak, Liu Zhenhan began to tackle the ticking time bombs of Florence.
"Now my time is limited, I’m unable to slowly drag things out with you anymore!" Liu’s gaze swept over Enrida, Axianu, and Ventéclair: "Give me your answer immediately."
He swiftly wrapped up the Silk Continent matters, and Liu’s final task was to deal with these three hidden dangers.
An enduring war loomed, keeping them around was genuinely troublesome.
Regarding Axianu, Liu Zhenhan’s solution was the same as Dragon Lich Trapattoni--having Ibrahim’s couple take her back to Dragon City Cemetery.
For Enrida and Ventéclair, they were given a choice between two exiles, either Sangri Continent or Silk Continent.
Liu Zhenhan developed a habit of leaving magic teleportation arrays on every strange continent he visited, a habit reserved for the wealthy.
"Enrida, the blood magic ring of your father-in-law is still left to you; as for Ventéclair, whatever equipment you need, just let me know, I will ensure you have it! Thus, whether you go to Sangri or Silk, with your strengths, no one will bully you!" Liu Zhenhan laughed seeing no one was willing to speak: "I know, your performances have been commendable during this period! But Florence refuses unknown origins; my armed forces require legitimacy first! With you playing coy and being obscure about your origins, there’s no way I can use you!"
"Father, are you exiling us?" Ventéclair asked, pale-faced and stammering.
