This might be the most bustling academic summit in history, as many who should not have been there turned up uninvited.
Take, for example, the senior member of the Mandala Consortium, the 172-year-old Saintfield VI.
Like Morgan VII, he came from one of the oldest families of the Shan Clan.
The Shan Clan People put great emphasis on the purity of bloodline, and even within their own ranks, there was a strict hierarchy of status, with the rulers always being heirs of pure bloodline.
The old gentleman had arrived early at the venue, sitting in a wheelchair, his frame withered, eyelids drooping, his body adorned with life support devices.
Fu Ling couldn't help but worry for the elderly gentleman in her heart; Saintfield VI looked like a candle flickering in the wind, and she genuinely feared he might meet with an untimely death on the Eco-Ship.
