The four youngsters didn't know exactly why Xu Cheng was allowed to sit there and receive the approval and recognition of the five elders. If this identity were to leak out, he could really roam freely without a care across the country!
And this wasn't an exaggeration at all.
Even princelings (TL note: second-generation of powerful politicians in the central government) would think twice before they provoke Xu Cheng!
In fact, instead of saying that Xu Cheng was kicked out of the military completely and broke all ties with the country, it was more accurate to say that the country was actually protecting him!
He lost the Dragon King position, yet the five elders basically gave him a mountain to rely on!
The five elders recognizing him as their grandson was no joke. At least speaking for in the current era, as long as at least one of the five elders were alive, no one could touch Xu Cheng!
It was a kind of protection for Xu Cheng!
