Celestial Palace City.
Inside the council hall.
Seeing Jiang Ning, who had just appeared, Prince Zhenbei's gaze grew especially grave.
The Jiang Ning before his eyes was even younger than he had imagined.
Such an appearance did not quite match the deeds he had heard of before, in his mind.
"King Luoshui… Jiang Ning?" Prince Zhenbei, Xu Zhen, spoke slowly, his voice low.
Jiang Ning gave a slight nod, his gaze sweeping past Xu Zhen and then landing on the Beicang King.
He could see the tension on the two of them.
Then he smiled faintly. "You two need not be so tense. I have come by order of the Holy Emperor, to resolve the crisis of Celestial Palace City."
"So it really is you!" The Beicang King looked at Jiang Ning, a complex look in his eyes.
Jiang Ning nodded slightly.
Just then, Prince Zhenbei said, "Does Your Excellency have anything that can serve as proof?"
