Upon receiving the Emperor's summons, Wang Jian was not taken aback as he had anticipated this turn of events for some time.
It was highly probable that Wang Lan's associates had covertly leaked the information to the Emperor's contacts in Solterra City.
Alternatively, the Emperor's spies in the Windhaven Kingdom could have noticed that King Chen had once again established his rule over the region.
Following a thorough investigation, the informants must have uncovered Wang Jian's actions and promptly informed the Emperor.
Since Wang Jian had expected this, he had naturally prepared an excuse.
However, the timing of the summon order seemed rather inconvenient for Wang Jian as had not yet initiated his plan to interact with Bixi Shuyan and Lady Zhuoran.
"I must take them with me," Wang Jian mused, realizing he had no choice in the matter.
