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


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


    That was because out of all the Ster Kingdoms here, they were the ones that had the strongest troops, strongest experts, most resources, greatest poption, and mostnd.


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


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


    The Mu Ster 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''ming with you."


    The Mu Ster 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 Ster 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 rted to the Zi Ster Kingdom in some way…


    If he remembered correctly, there was a powerful family in the Zi Ster 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 Ster 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 personallye to a ce like the Mu Ster Kingdom, at the very least he could make some contact with her through this group from the Zi Ster 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 rted to the Mu Ster 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 ce. If he could help them with their problems with his rtions, 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 pce.


    Along the way, the subordinate exined what had happened.


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


    The message didn''t exin 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 wasing and what kind of people the envoy contained.


    This kind of message, it was almost as if the Zi Ster 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 Ster Kingdoms, the Mu Ster Kingdom really couldn''t do anything toin.


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


    Even the Mu Ster 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 Ster Kingdom would do.


    They were depending on the Zi Ster Kingdom to take care of the Tai and Bai Ster Kingdoms. If the Zi Ster 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 Ster Kingdom would certainly suffer quite a few losses to deal with these two Ster 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 Ster Kingdoms.


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


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


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


    After all, without the Zi Ster Kingdom''s full support this time, many Ster Kingdoms would have moved.<novelnext></novelnext>


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


    So the whole situation of the war depended on the Zi Ster 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 Ster King''s subordinate who hade 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 Ster 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 Ster 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 Ster King because of rtions 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 Ster King was here.


    The Mu Ster 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 Ster 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 rx as if he was still thinking about something.


    The Mu Ster 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 Ster Kingdom…


    Lin Fan though did see something simr 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 pce, 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 being?


    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 pce. This was a carriage that carried the symbol of the Mu Ster 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 Ster King received.


    Of course, it was all well deserved.


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


    With the current Mu Ster King''s poprity 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 poprity among the citizens to a level that had never been heard of before.


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


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


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