Wen Yu had already met the sovereign more than once or twice.
Wen Yu signaled Caius and Arthur to send Tang Haofei and Gul away, then stood up and looked at Bai. He saw Bai extend his hand and forcefully tear through the air. Accompanied by the loud crashing sounds of "creak creak," a massive space rift appeared out of nowhere, revealing the scenery on the other side.
Green grass spread as far as the eye could see, and the sky was clear and cloudless.
After Bai finished this, it was surprisingly Tang Haofei who was the first to stand up and dive into the rift.
Wen Yu was puzzled, only watching Bai until Bai provided an explanation.
"Tang Haofei is also on the invitation list."
As soon as this was said, Wen Yu fell silent and stepped into the rift before Bai.
With a dizzying sensation of teleportation, one moment Wen Yu was in the commander-in-chief's office, and the next, he was smelling the fragrance of flowers.
Even though it wasn't his first time here, Wen Yu still marveled at the quality of life in the sovereign's realm.
Look at this sky, look at this lake, look at the air quality—oh, that guy really knows how to enjoy life.
Wen Yu silently complained in his heart, then began to look around like a tourist until Bai stepped into the rift and walked ahead of Wen Yu and Tang Haofei.
"Follow me."
After saying this, Bai took the lead and walked forward.
...
Wen Yu didn’t see many treasure land guardians along the way, which was different from the last time.
The entire space was silent and somewhat empty.
Wen Yu didn’t ask many questions; he just followed Bai as they walked across the grassland, entered the palace complex, and finally stopped in front of the ruler's grand hall.
The three stood silently in front of the door until Bai gently nodded, as if listening to something. After a moment, he pulled open the large door, revealing the Old Man with a White Beard who had been waiting for a long time inside.
"My lord…"
"My lord!"
"My lord."
The three spoke in unison, bowing their heads to show respect, while the sovereign merely nodded gently, looking at the three with a smile.
This gaze was clear, devoid of any emotion, yet it had no focus—despite Wen Yu's intention to conceal his power, the sovereign didn’t give Wen Yu any glance or expression.
He looked at the three for about two seconds before waving his hand.
As four sofas appeared in the ruler's grand hall, the sovereign sat down first and signaled Wen Yu and the others to take their seats.
From the attitude, it seemed that this time the sovereign summoned the three not for accountability, but rather as a simple tea party.
Wen Yu was puzzled, but that didn’t stop him from making himself comfortable.
He was the first to sit on the sofa, the soft fabric pressing against his back as he leaned back like a comfortable salted fish.
This scene left Bai and Tang Haofei momentarily stunned. Tang Haofei sat expressionless on another sofa, while Bai shook his head with a smile, looking at Wen Yu with a teasing gaze.
At this moment, Bai could only marvel at how confident Wen Yu was… At the same time, he understood Wen Yu's attitude towards this conversation.
This avatar of Wen Yu was clearly not planning to hold back this time!
...
"What would you like to drink?"
After all three were seated, the sovereign was the first to speak.
Well, now it really felt like a tea party.
"Tea is fine."
"Me too."
The few of them spoke one after another, and the sovereign just waved his hand. The next moment, four cups of hot tea appeared on the coffee table. Wen Yu picked up the hot tea and sipped it, feeling none of the tension from the last meeting with the sovereign.
Bai's thoughts were not wrong...
This time, Wen Yu had decided to abandon the number one Wen Yu avatar; as the saying goes, desire leads to weakness. If I don’t even care about my own life, why should I fear you, sovereign?
It must be said that Wen Yu's attitude was extremely proper, so much so that the sovereign cast an interested glance his way.
"This time you all did well, especially Wen Yu. This war has proven that under Wen Yu's leadership, Beijing has a strong sense of cohesion and unwavering determination. That's great."
