The hall of Fengming Hall fell into deathly silence, and everyone's eyes brimmed over with astonishment and shock.
They had thought of all possibilities, but had never anticipated hearing this name from the esteemed Princess's lips.
"Zhou Dao!?"
How precious is the Earth Mother Qi?
How could the high and mighty Princess entrust such a treasured item to someone completely unrelated?
What was Zhou Dao? An upstart who had fought his way through many battles, possessing some talent, but that was about it.
In terms of background, depth, and foundation... he was only a duckweed in a pond, a weed by the roadside, incomparable to the genuine nobility's bloodline.
In the imperial palace where nobility is revered, this person should not have appeared.
And yet, he was standing brazenly within Fengming Hall.
If it were just that, people might still manage to understand.
