The Zi Stellar Kingdom, they were the strongest Stellar Kingdom in this area.

This wasn\'t something that they declared themselves, but rather something that was recognized by all the Stellar Kingdom in the area.

That was because out of all the Stellar Kingdoms here, they were the ones that had the strongest troops, strongest experts, most resources, greatest population, and most land.

In any way that a Stellar Kingdom could be ranked, they were the top out of all the Stellar Kingdoms in the area.

So if an envoy from the Zi Stellar Kingdom was coming to the Mu Stellar Kingdom, it was a very big deal.

The Mu Stellar King immediately forgot his displeasure with this subordinate that had charged in and was about to ask something, but then he remembered where he saw. He quickly closed his mouth and signaled for the subordinate to wait for him outside before turning back to say, "I have some business to take care of, so I\'ll be leaving first. You can stay and enjoy yourselves for as long as you want, the bill has already been taken care of."

Then without hesitation, he turned around to leave.

But he was suddenly stopped by Lin Fan who said, "Wait, I\'m coming with you."

The Mu Stellar King looked at Lin Fan with a surprised look as he asked, "Brother Lin, why?"

Lin Fan just casually said, "I might have something to do with this."

The Mu Stellar King revealed a confused look, but he still gave a nod since he knew that Lin Fan had a mysterious background. It wouldn\'t be strange if he was related to the Zi Stellar Kingdom in some way…

If he remembered correctly, there was a powerful family in the Zi Stellar Kingdom that had the surname Lin…

If Lin Fan was from that family…then everything would make sense.

But too bad that it wasn\'t like that.

However, the Zi Stellar Kingdom was where Zi Ling was from.

Lin Fan still had many questions for Zi Ling and while he knew that it wouldn\'t be Zi Ling that would personally come to a place like the Mu Stellar Kingdom, at the very least he could make some contact with her through this group from the Zi Stellar Kingdom.

So he decided to tag along and meet them.

As for what purpose they came here for, he was a bit invested since it was related to the Mu Stellar Kingdom.

After spending the time that he had spent here, it was impossible to say that he didn\'t form some kind of feelings for this place. If he could help them with their problems with his relations, he had no reason not to use them.

So the two of them quickly rushed out of the room and boarded a carriage heading back to the royal palace.

Along the way, the subordinate explained what had happened.

They had suddenly received a message from the Zi Stellar Kingdom that they would be sending an envoy that would be arriving tonight.

The message didn\'t explain any further on this, all it stated was that the envoy was already on its way. They didn\'t tell them for what reason this envoy was coming and what kind of people the envoy contained.

This kind of message, it was almost as if the Zi Stellar Kingdom was looking down on them. It was almost as if they were treating them as people that were under them that they could order around at any time.

But when it came to the power difference between the two Stellar Kingdoms, the Mu Stellar Kingdom really couldn\'t do anything to complain.

All they could do was accept this and follow the message that had been sent.

Even the Mu Stellar King was helpless and could only meet the envoys with a smile on his face.

After all, if they were to raise a protest, it was hard to tell what the Zi Stellar Kingdom would do.

They were depending on the Zi Stellar Kingdom to take care of the Tai and Bai Stellar Kingdoms. If the Zi Stellar Kingdom were to suddenly pull out…Well, they wouldn\'t fully pull out, but they would pull out their experts…If that was to happen, the Mu Stellar Kingdom would certainly suffer quite a few losses to deal with these two Stellar Kingdoms.

After all, it was their war, so they had no choice but to fight.

Not to mention that it was unknown how many experts had been sent by the Beast Race to back the Tai and Bai Stellar Kingdoms.

If it was just the Tai and Bai Stellar Kingdoms, they would have no problem since there were four Star Realm Experts on their side compared to the two of the Tai and Bai Stellar Kingdoms.

But if the Beast Race also sent their Star Realm Beasts to aid the Tai and Bai Stellar Kingdoms…

It wasn\'t just the Zi Stellar Kingdom that would withdraw if they were offended, plenty of other Stellar Kingdoms would withdraw as well.

After all, without the Zi Stellar Kingdom\'s full support this time, many Stellar Kingdoms would have moved.

​ They would have just let the other Stellar Kingdoms deal with it while offering a show of support on the surface.

So the whole situation of the war depended on the Zi Stellar Kingdom\'s support.

Lin Fan who had been silent on the side the entire time couldn\'t help asking, "Can I see the message that was sent?"

The Mu Stellar King\'s subordinate who had come to pick him up had ignored Lin Fan the whole time since he didn\'t recognize him. While he realized that Lin Fan was someone that was close to the Mu Stellar King based on how they talked, he looked down on Lin Fan.

This subordinate was one of the most important ministers in court right now, so it was no exaggeration to say that he was one of the most important people in the Mu Stellar Kingdom right now.

He had made his way up through his own talents and he took pride in that.

So seeing Lin Fan who only got close to the Mu Stellar King because of relations instead of actual talent, he naturally looked down on him.

Still, this wasn\'t the time for him to express his disdain since the Mu Stellar King was here.

The Mu Stellar King even gave him a nod to tell him to show Lin Fan the message, so this minister had no choice but to give it to Lin Fan.

As Lin Fan read over the message, he couldn\'t help slightly knitting his brows.

The Mu Stellar King didn\'t miss this and asked, "Did you notice something?"

After a moment of hesitation, Lin Fan shook his head without saying anything. However, his brows didn\'t relax as if he was still thinking about something.

The Mu Stellar King could clearly see that Lin Fan recognized something, but since he wasn\'t willing to talk, he wouldn\'t force him to talk. He was looking forward to seeing what kind of miracles Lin Fan would bring him this time.

As for the minister, he couldn\'t help secretly giving a disdainful snort as he thought, "Look at this kid, acting all important. It\'s clear that he doesn\'t know anything and is just pretending to impress his majesty."

As he thought this, the minister even thought about taking care of Lin Fan secretly…

After all, if this kind of person kept hanging around his majesty…then it wouldn\'t be good for the future of their Mu Stellar Kingdom…

Lin Fan though did see something similar with this message.

It wasn\'t the content of the message, but the writing that the message came in. This kind of message would normally be written by special scribes that were hired by the royal palace, but this writing seemed different.

It was still elegant, there was no mistaking that, but it didn\'t seem like professional writing. It almost seemed like this was written by someone else and it was personally handwritten.

But if that was the case, wouldn\'t that mean that this was a very important message?

So who would be coming?

Also, there was something that seemed familiar with this writing. It was almost as if he had seen it somewhere before, but he couldn\'t remember where.

It didn\'t take long for this carriage to arrive back at the palace. This was a carriage that carried the symbol of the Mu Stellar King, so wherever it went, everyone moved out of the way and allowed it to pass.

There were even looks of reverence on their faces as they watched this carriage pass.

This just went to show how much respect the new Mu Stellar King received.

Of course, it was all well deserved.

After he had taken over from the previous Mu Stellar King, the new Mu Stellar King had enacted many edicts that improved the lives of the people. He also struck down many of the edicts that had been in place previously that made the lives of the commoners harder while benefiting the nobles.

With the current Mu Stellar King\'s popularity with the army and his approval from the ancestors, there wasn\'t anything that he needed to worry about. Even if the nobles wanted to do something, it was impossible for them to do anything to him.

Not to mention that they were currently in the middle of a war, so everyone was focused on that.

All of this raised his popularity among the citizens to a level that had never been heard of before.

People were even calling this the golden age of the Mu Stellar Kingdom.

When they arrived at the palace, someone quickly ran out to greet them.

This was another minister just like the one that had come to pick them up and he had a message that was even more dire, "The Zi Stellar Kingdom\'s envoys have already reached our borders and are on their way."
