"Why is Lord Lan also on this Flying Ship? The intelligence we received said that only Prince Duan would be escorting us, didn't it?"
After everyone was seated, Jingtai asked, looking a bit puzzled.
Prince Duan smiled and explained, "A few days ago, as the Flying Ship was passing through Jinshan County, it was attacked by the Martial Soul Hall. Although I and the Imperial Guard fought them off, the incident put the Imperial City on high alert."
"That's why the Great Xia Dragon Guard requested Lord Lan's presence. You must understand, this Flying Ship is carrying the top geniuses from every county. We absolutely cannot afford any mishaps."
Jingtai nodded. After a moment of silence, he suddenly rose from his seat and knelt on the floor. "Lord Lan, Prince Duan, your subordinate... is guilty!"
At the sight of Jingtai kneeling, the eight people behind him were startled and quickly knelt as well.
Seeing this, both Lord Lan and Prince Duan frowned.
