Although Emperor Chu still had the imperial clan's ancestors behind him, there was no need to trouble them with every single matter.
If he kept asking the ancestors to come forward and resolve things, they would only become increasingly convinced that Emperor Chu's abilities were limited.
Therefore, when it came to the Prince Liang's Estate raising troops and growing arrogant on the strength of its military power, Emperor Chu would not trouble the ancestors to intervene until the very last resort.
The best solution was to make the Prince Liang's Estate retreat in the face of difficulties within the scope of Emperor Chu's authority.
They entered the Jade Palace, where the lights shone brightly.
The swaying candlelight illuminated the emerald palace walls. The reflected radiance made everything around them seem dreamlike and flowerlike.
Walking through it was like stepping into the secluded abode of some immortal deity.
The entire palace held only four men—Lin Bai, Chu Zimo, Qi Lingyu, and Wang Zhengyang. Everyone else was female.
Young women as beautiful as heavenly immortals crossed the palace, each busy with her own affairs.
Some maids carried jade trays filled with delicacies from every corner of the Chu Kingdom.
Others carried wine jars brimming with fine wine.
Inside the palace, the largest and most grandly appointed Guest Hall had already been prepared. Four long jade tables had been arranged within.
In front of the long tables stood a jade platform a hundred meters across, with emerald curtains hanging around it.
Behind the curtains sat female musicians, solemnly awaiting their cue. Their expressions were slightly nervous yet excited as they watched the four men enter the palace.
These four could be said to be the four most highly placed men in the Devil Realm Eastern Region at present.
Their futures were infinitely bright.
