The sudden appearance of Lin Qin caused a brief silence at the door of the Imperial Palace. Everyone's eyes were focused on this seemingly ordinary young man in gray, with inquiry, awe, and a hint of indescribable nervousness. Earth Walker Lin Qin, this name now means strong strength, iron-blooded means and a rapidly rising power among the top brass of the Yulan Continent.
Wharton walked forward quickly with excitement, his eyes a little red. "Brother Lin Qin, it's really you! I thought..." He still remembered the guidance and rare warmth that this taciturn big brother had given them at Wushan Town when they were young.
Linley also stepped forward and looked at Lin Qin with complicated eyes. He could feel that the aura of the person in front of him was as restrained as an abyss, even more unfathomable than the rumors. He bowed slightly and said with respect in his tone, "Brother Lin Qin, thank you for coming to Wharton's engagement party."
Lin Qin nodded, his eyes swept over Linley, and he could feel the majestic Dragon Blood power hidden in his body and a hint of sharp artistic conception of law. "Not bad." He commented briefly, and then looked at Princess Nina next to Wharton, "This must be Her Royal Highness the Seventh Princess.
Nina seemed a little nervous, but still bowed appropriately. "Nina has met Mr. Lin Qin." She had already heard about this legendary figure from Wharton and Linley. Now that she saw it with her own eyes, she felt the invisible pressure, and her heart was even more awe-inspiring.
"A little gift is not a sign of respect." Lin Qin waved his hand, and several well-made Space Ring appeared out of thin air, floating in front of Wharton. What they contained were those magic metals, Magic Beast Core and armor. This handiwork made the nobles who were observing secretly around secretly smack their lips.
"Brother Lin Qin, this is too expensive..." Wharton said quickly.
"Take it." Lin Qin said in a tone that could not be refused, "Lead the way."
"Yes, brother Lin Qin, please come this way!" Wharton no longer refused, and hurriedly led Lin Qin to the Imperial Palace together with Linley. Princess Nina followed closely behind.
In the Imperial Palace banquet hall, the lights were bright and people were drinking and drinking. The dignitaries and powerful warriors of the O'Brien Empire gathered together. When Lin Qin walked into the hall accompanied by brothers Baruch, the originally noisy scene became much quieter in an instant. Countless eyes were cast towards them, with various emotions.
"Who is that person? He actually asked brother Baruch to accompany him personally?
T
"The dress looks very ordinary...
"Shut up! That is the actual controller of Earth Walker Lin Qin! Chaos Territory!
"What? He is the Lin Qin who defeated Desri?
Whispering discussions spread among the crowd like a tide, and the eyes of awe, curiosity, and fear intertwined on Lin Qin.
Lin Qin turned a blind eye to all this and followed Wharton with a calm expression to a relatively quiet seat. This was a place close to the main seat and was obviously prepared for important guests.
Soon, His Majesty Joanne, the Emperor of the O'Brien Empire, came in person with his Queen. His Majesty Joanne was a majestic middle-aged man. His eyes looked at Lin Qin with scrutiny and a trace of imperceptible solemnity.
"Your Excellency Lin Qin's presence is an honor for me, O'Brien Empire, and a blessing for Wharton and Nina." His Majesty Joanne spoke politely, with the etiquette expected of a royal family.
Lin Qin nodded slightly. "Your Majesty, you're welcome, you came uninvited, I'm sorry for disturbing you."
The two parties briefly exchanged greetings, and His Majesty Joanne left with an excuse to greet other guests. As the emperor of a country, he needed to show enough attention to Lin Qin, but he would not be overly warm. After all, Lin Qin's identity was sensitive and he was at odds with two major Theocracys.
The banquet continued, but the atmosphere was obviously different from before. Many people's attention was focused on the Lin Qin table.
Some patriarchs from big families exchanged glances secretly, seeming to assess the weight of this new powerful man. Several military generals cast admiring glances at Lin Qin. Soldiers respect the strong the most.
Lin Qin sat there, rarely touching the food and wine on the table. He only occasionally whispered a few words to Linley and Wharton next to him, asking about their experiences over the years, mainly about cultivation. He didn't talk much, but every time he spoke, he pointed to the key points, which benefited Linley a lot, and his admiration for this big brother deepened in his heart.
Wharton was even more excited about what happened between himself and Nina, with happiness on his face. Lin Qin listened quietly, nodding occasionally.
At this time, a middle-aged nobleman in a gorgeous dress came over with a wine glass. "Your Excellency Lin Qin, I have long admired your name. I am the Imperial Finance Minister Oliver."

Lin Qin looked up at him and nodded slightly.
Oliver said with a smile, "I heard that you have established a business in Chaos Territory, which is really admirable. I wonder if there is an opportunity to do business with Dragon Rock Territory?"
","For specific matters, please contact Soros for discussion." Lin Qin said calmly.
Oliver wisely did not ask any more questions, toasted a glass of wine and left.
Later, several more nobles came to talk to them, but they were all sent away by Lin Qin in a similar way. His attitude always kept a distance, neither appearing arrogant nor overly enthusiastic.
In the middle of the banquet, a voice was heard from outside the door. "Master War God Sect has arrived!" The hall was suddenly quiet for a moment. Several figures with strong auras were seen walking in, headed by Lanke and Calost. They walked straight to the table of Lin Qin.
"Your Excellency Lin Qin, I have long admired you." Lanke said in a loud voice, "Lanke, this is my junior brother Carlost."
Lin Qin stood up and returned the greeting. "Nice to meet you."
After a brief greeting between the two parties, Lanke said straight to the point, "I heard that you showed off your skills at Chaos Territory, and even Radiant Church suffered a loss at your hands. I'm really impressed."
"It's just a fluke." Lin Qin said calmly.
A War God Sect Saint Realm said, "Your Excellency is too humble. To be able to defeat Desri is a strength that only a few in the entire Yulan Continent."
Lin Qin glanced at him and didn't answer.
The atmosphere was a little stagnant for a moment. Linley interrupted at the right time, "Everyone, Lin Qin has come from afar, why don't we let him enjoy the banquet first?"
Lanke and others realized that they were a little rude and smiled awkwardly.
Lanke and Carlost looked at each other and said, "Brother Wharton, this time we are sending you a gift for your engagement under the order of the teacher."
Linley took the gift and said with a smile, "I didn't expect Master War God to also pay attention to Wharton's marriage. I hope you will see Master War God and help us convey our gratitude."
Lanke said, "I will definitely help the teacher when I see him, so we will go in first.
After they left, Linley whispered to Lin Qin, "These people from the War God Sect are used to being arrogant in the O'Brien Empire. Please don't take offense, brother Lin Qin."
"It doesn't matter." Lin Qin didn't care.
The banquet continues.
