At a glance, he looked like a god who had killed his way out of hell with his murderous aura.

Honk!

Followed by the sounding of a horn, a loud greeting was heard.
“Welcome back, Your Grace!”

Countless people were currently kowtowing in his direction.

Rong Xiu headed straight for the island in the middle.
Although it seemed like he was walking on water, there was actually a small gap between his shoes and the water surface.
With his hands behind his back, he looked like he was taking a leisurely stroll, but in reality, he had covered a great distance in just a few steps.

When he reached the island, he leaped into the air and gently floated down to the ground.
The black jade slab reflected his long figure as he continued to walk forward while the two guards on duty bowed respectfully toward him.

The building in front was Rong Xiu’s palace.
Security was very tight there, so ordinary people had no way of even getting close.
It was usually very quiet there, but it seemed that someone had been waiting outside his palace for a long time today.
Upon hearing Rong Xiu’s arrival, that person also went down on his knees in the direction the former was coming from.

Rong Xiu’s eyes narrowed slightly as he took a glance, for he found the visitor somewhat familiar—the latter seemed to be an acquaintance.
Sure enough, his guess was proven correct when he got closer.

The visitor was none other than 36 Respected Elder Ming’s nephew, Ming Yao.

As an elder, Ming Yao’s status was considered pretty high within his clan, for it was second only to the clan leader.
Usually, the elders rarely appeared here and would tend to go look for 36 Respected Elder Ming if they had any problems.
There was hardly a time when they directly went to look for Rong Xiu.

Not until now.

Rong Xiu stopped right in front of him.
“What brings you here today, Elder Ming Yao?”

“Greetings, Your Grace!” Ming Yao hurriedly paid his respect to Rong Xiu.

One of the guards next to him cupped his fist and reported, “Your Grace, Elder Ming Yao has been waiting here since three days ago.
He says that he has something important to report to you in person.”

Rong Xiu looked up slightly.
“Where’s 36 Respected Elder Ming?”

“36 Respected Elder Ming went into seclusion recently, Your Grace.”

So he deliberately chose to come when 36 Respected Elder Ming was away. Rong Xiu’s lips curved up slightly.
“You may rise, Elder Ming Yao.
Feel free to speak your mind.”

Only after giving his thanks did Ming Yao stand up.
Still, he couldn’t help but feel nervous about facing Rong Xiu alone.
He tried his best to eke out a smile.
“Your Grace, I’m actually here on behalf of many other clans.”

Rong Xiu slightly raised his eyebrows as he gave Ming Yao a look.
“Oh?”

With much difficulty, Ming Yao swallowed his saliva and mustered his courage to say, “Well… It’s been a few years since you took the throne, but you still don’t have a Princess Consort.
It just so happens that your birthday is coming up, so we’re thinking… Why don’t you take this chance to pick someone to be the Princess Consort?”
