Facing Shen Yan's pressing questions and the overwhelming claim to the throne by the Qian Emperor, the party from Canglan Kingdom had no choice but to pay their respects. A young man emerged from the foremost carriage, dressed in a black brocade robe trimmed with gold. With a jade crown atop his head and a faint smile on his handsome face, he exuded an air of disdain. At his waist, he sported a bronze treasure sword with a scabbard inset with five differently colored gems, which subtly reflected the light.
"Crown Prince Zhu Yishi of Canglan Kingdom pays his respects to the Qian Emperor!"
The brocade-clad young man's tone was neither servile nor overbearing as he bowed slightly, greeting with clasped hands. Not being a citizen of Qianyue Kingdom, naturally, he was not required to kneel to the Qian Emperor.
