Town King Chen Changan?
How had he come here?
The Sky Dome Sect's gatekeeping disciples looked at one another in bewilderment. There had been far too many rumors about Chen Changan lately. Though they had never left the Sky Dome Sect, they had heard a few of them.
The rumors came in all shapes and sizes, but not one had mentioned that Chen Changan intended to visit the Sky Dome Sect!
This...
What was the meaning of his visit?
Was he here to offer birthday congratulations at a time like this? What the hell, was he here to stir up trouble?
Who didn't know the Town King's situation? He had practically fallen out with the Imperial Family. If he came here to offer birthday congratulations now, what would the Imperial Family think of the Sky Dome Sect?
An emperor was, above all, suspicious. No matter what Chen Changan did, it would make the Imperial Family resent the Sky Dome Sect.
"So you're the renowned Town King."
"I hear Your Highness only recently inherited the title. It's truly our honor to have you visit the Sky Dome Sect."
"However, the Grand Elder's birthday celebration is by invitation only. No one may enter without an invitation."
"Our hands are tied. Those are the rules set by the Grand Elder."
"Does Your Highness have an invitation from the Sky Dome Sect?"
They were obviously asking a question they already knew the answer to. Wouldn't they know whether they had sent the Town King an invitation?
This was clearly a polite way of telling him to leave.
"I don't have an invitation, but I still have to offer my birthday wishes."
"Sorry for the trouble, but please announce my arrival." Chen Changan smiled faintly.
"Your Highness, please don't make things difficult for us disciples."
