The Steward walked into the room with countless eyes on him. He bowed politely to the Demon Suppression Emperor, showing the proper respect and etiquette. His actions elicited a smile from almost everyone in the room.
The Steward remained calm during the entire ordeal. He understood that because of this world's history, they value things like respect and dignity more than others. So, if his actions could facilitate a better negotiation situation, why not do it?
"Welcome, fellow ambassador," said the Demon Suppression Emperor. "Lord Wang Wei was a benefactor–someone we admire dearly for what he has done for us. So, since you're here on his behalf, we will also treat you with the utmost honor."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kind reception," replied the Steward.
"As long as you feel welcome," she nodded. "Now, let's get down to business. Can you tell me the reason for your visit? Is our benefactor in trouble of some kind and needs our help? If so, please do not hesitate to tell us.
"We, humans, pride ourselves in our benevolence and righteousness. So, if you need anything, feel free to ask."
"I appreciate your kindness, but this is not the reason for my unannounced visit," replied the Steward. "My sect master would like to see you."
Last night, the Steward realized Wang Wei's fame and glory in this world, so he decided the latter showing up would be the best way to negotiate.
"Our benefactor is coming here? When?"
"Right now is fine."
The Demon Suppression Emperor frowned; she secretly used her Divine Sense to scan the entire world and outside of this world, but she did not detect anything. Afterward, she secretly communicated with Chancellor Ke.
"In that case, let us prepare to receive him with the utmost honor."
The Demon Suppression Emperor waved her hand to create a second throne opposite her. A few ministers frowned at this action but did not say anything. A few minutes later, everything was ready.
"We're ready."
The Steward nodded before uttering, "Sect Master, you can show up."
As soon as his words finished, someone was standing in the room. No one knew how he appeared; it was as if he was here long ago. All the ministers held their breath as every ounce of their being warned them that this was a scary being and should display the utmost respect, even when saying his name. freewebnovel.cσ๓
Wang Wei garnered everyone's attention, but his eyes did not focus on too many people in the room.
He first looked at the Daoist Green Heart.
"It's been a long time, fellow Daoist."
"Lord…I mean, Your Majesty, it has indeed been a while."
"What about the others?"
"I'm…I'm the only one left."
"That's unfortunate," uttered Wang Wei before finally focusing on the Demon Suppression Emperor. "Luckily, all my hard work was not for nothing."
"Benefactor, it's a pleasure to meet you," said the Human Emperor, who forcefully controlled the shock and fear in her heart.
"Likewise," nodded Wang Wei. "How may I address you?"
"My title is the Demon Suppression Emperor, but you can call me by my name: Hong Wa."
"Hong? That's a beautiful name."
"Thank you," replied Hong Wa before motioning for Wang Wei to sit down opposite her. The latter had a natural feeling as if he could blend into any environment.
'No, he's not blending into the environment; the environment is changing to fit him,' analyzed Hong Wa. While she was observing and analyzing Wang Wei, the latter was doing the same.
'An Eternal Emperor, but barely one similar to Emperor Kong. She most likely receives a boost from Heavenly Dao and the manifestation of human destiny and suffering.'
His eyes seemed to contain all the truth in the universe, and for a moment, Hong Wa felt naked, as if all her secrets were seen through.
'The cultivation world is still primarily patriarchal, so it should not be easy for her to lead the human race while being a woman; this could also explain her title along with other things.'
