To many people of Zhuang Kingdom, serving as an envoy to Sheng Kingdom was truly a thankless task.
Ever since the Yellow River Assembly of Dao Calendar 3919, relations between the two countries had remained tense.
Especially since this envoy was Lin Zhengren, the very man who had once defeated Jiang Limeng. One could almost imagine the cold reception awaiting him.
When the envoy's delegation was being assembled, everyone avoided it.
In the end, the State Chancellor forcibly transferred a unit from the White Feather Army.
But for Lin Zhengren, being sent as an envoy to Sheng Kingdom was not actually difficult.
How could dealing with those self-important young masters and ladies count as trouble?
At most, he would have to swallow a few sarcastic jabs. At most, he would have to put on a display of sincere remorse.
To put it plainly, why would he take these greenhouse flowers, who knew neither the height of heaven nor the depth of earth, to heart?
Especially Qi Ya. His father was already dead, yet instead of thinking about cultivating diligently and restoring his family's name, he was single-mindedly circling Jiang Limeng, jealous and fighting for her favor.
How could Jiang Limeng possibly lack men wagging their tails to court her favor?
And people he truly feared, such as Sheng Xuehuai and Jiang Limeng, would instead not deliberately make things difficult for him.
If, while representing Zhuang Kingdom on this mission, he truly saw Sheng Xuehuai's cold face, he might as well burn incense for himself. There would be nothing else to say.
The theme of this mission, "Zhuang-Sheng Daoist Art Exchange," was not actually as laughable as Qi Ya and the others had mocked. Zhuang Kingdom's Daoist Art system inherited from Yujing Mountain, while Sheng Kingdom's was centered upon Penglai Island.
