As the court officials from the Zhou Dynasty and the Yan Kingdom exchanged glances, they heard the eunuch announce from outside, "The Monarch of the Tianfeng Kingdom has arrived..."
Xiao Rongyan, sitting to the left of Bai Qingyan, leaned on the armrest and turned his head to look towards the entrance of the grand hall.
They saw Sal Khan, having changed into the attire of the Monarch of Tianfeng, accompanied by numerous officials of the Tianfeng Kingdom, stepping onto the blue stone floor bathed in golden sunlight, with a light smile on his face.
As the monarch of a country, he was not able to appear in the hall alongside Bai Qingyan as equals but was instead summoned inside, a humiliation he seemed to overlook.
