Faced with the King's questioning, Bruce quickly explained, "There are other people living in Tang Zheng's house, not just the two of them. Moreover, Her Royal Highness guaranteed that there is absolutely no inappropriate relationship with Tang Zheng, so I did not report to Your Majesty. This is a dereliction of duty."
"Humph, it must be Anne who told you not to tell us, right?" The King knew his daughter very well and asked a question that hit the nail on the head.
Bruce smiled and did not say anything, which could be considered as a tacit agreement.
The Queen asked doubtfully, "You said that there are other people living in Tang Zheng's house?"
"Yes, the Miss Mu you saw today is living in his house, and there are some others."
"Why are there so many people living in his house?"
"Maybe they are all good friends living together so they can take care of each other." Bruce was not too clear about the relationship between Tang Zheng and the others, so he speculated.
Seeing that nothing really happened between the two, the King and Queen were relieved, but they still sternly warned, "This matter must not be known to outsiders, understand?"
"Understood."
"This time, Anne returned to the country and will not go to Hua Xia again. Since the two of them are separated, naturally nothing will happen." The King said.
The Queen looked at the King in surprise and said, "You want to bring her back? Don't you want her to keep in touch with that group of cultivators? "
The King smiled mysteriously. "This time, even Tian Chanzi was invited. I naturally have a way to improve my relationship with the cultivators. There is no need for Anne to appear in public."
The Queen was thoughtful, but when she thought of the rumors, she felt a headache. "I don't know who spread these rumors. It's really not something a gentleman should do."
"The welcome banquet and ball in the evening will eliminate this misunderstanding. We can't let the rumors continue to ferment." The King was full of confidence.
The banquet was held in a huge banquet hall, and many elites gathered together.
Tang Zheng, Mu Hongyan, and Tian Chanzi were specially arranged to be near the King and Queen, which showed their status.
When everyone saw this scene, they felt that the rumors were not false.
The King stood up and said, "Guests, friends, ladies and gentlemen, we are all gathered here today to give a grand welcome to our distinguished guests from the East. Please allow me to introduce our three distinguished guests again. This is Anne's master, Tian Chanzi. This is the young and promising Mr. Tang Zheng. This is the beautiful Ms. Mu Hongyan. Their company will reach strategic cooperation with our country. We will develop together in the fields of finance, technology, service, and so on. It will be mutually beneficial. "
After hearing such a detailed introduction, everyone finally understood that these three people were indeed from a powerful background. However, the doubts in their hearts grew even stronger. Especially Tang Zheng and Mu Hongyan's company, they had never heard of this name before. Why did they suddenly appear and form a cooperation?
Princess Anne kept looking at Tang Zheng with a sweet smile. Because the two of them sat across from each other at the dining table, it was easy for their gazes to meet.
In other people's eyes, there was a hint of flirting. They suddenly realized that this mysterious knight was able to obtain these cooperation because of Princess Anne.
Wasn't this the so-called "living off a woman" in the East?
No matter which country, men who lived off women were always looked down upon. Therefore, many elites cast disdainful gazes at Tang Zheng.
Tang Zheng also felt these gazes and couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. He didn't know them, so why were their gazes so unkind?
The banquet went smoothly. Compared to the East, the banquets in the West were less lively. They ate politely and were as gentlemanly as they could be. This was a scene that many domestic women dreamed of.
It was high-end and classy. Perhaps many women wouldn't have time to eat and would just take photos and post them on their WeChat Moments.
Tang Zheng only hoped that it would end soon. Finally, in his impatient wait, the banquet came to an end. The King and Queen were the first to stand up, and the others also stood up one after another. They filed out and went to another hall next door.
The ball had begun. People gathered in twos and threes, and there was more freedom.
Tang Zheng had no objection to this arrangement. After all, the host attached great importance to it, and he couldn't refuse the other party's good intentions.
On the other hand, the Heaven Monk was like a fish in water. Although he did not know how to speak foreign languages, he had a good appearance with a sage-like demeanor, which attracted the favor of many noble ladies from other countries.
When the music started, Tian Chanzi was pulled to the dance floor by a young woman who was at least 36D.
Damn!
Tang Zheng's eyes widened. This old hooligan actually made his move so quickly. The size of the chest was really spectacular. It turned out that he liked this type.
"Your Royal Highness, may I invite you to dance?" A handsome blonde man wearing a tuxedo walked over and bowed slightly to Anne. He was incomparably gentlemanly.
Princess Anne smiled at him and said: "Alex, I'm sorry. Someone has already invited me for the first dance."
After saying that, she stretched out her slender jade hand to Tang Zheng.
Tang Zheng was stunned for a moment. What was this for?
"My Mr. Knight, could it be that you don't want to invite me to dance?" Princess Anne winked at Tang Zheng and said with a smile.
"I don't know how to." Tang Zheng said truthfully.
Was this a rejection?
Alex was dumbfounded. This brat actually rejected Princess Anne. This was the dream of many people.
He couldn't help but feel a little jealous. But then he thought, you don't know how to, but I do.
He eagerly looked at Princess Anne, hoping that Princess Anne would give up on this unromantic guy.
But Anne acted as if she didn't see his eyes. She looked at Tang Zheng in surprise and asked: "You don't know how to?"
Immediately, she smiled again, like the most beautiful flower in the world blooming. It was as if she had discovered something amazing. This kind of smile from the bottom of her heart made Alex feel very hurt and jealous.
Alex was not an ordinary person. He was one of the many suitors of Princess Anne. Moreover, he was also a famous suitor.
Ever since Princess Anne turned 15 years old, he launched a fierce pursuit. Anne chose to sail around the world. Part of the reason was that she couldn't stand his pursuit.
Alex dared to do this. Of course, he had a background. Otherwise, how could an ordinary citizen dare to pursue a princess so crazily. At most, they would just look from afar and be satisfied.
Alex's family was Europe's oldest and largest family — Rothschild.
This family was very secretive. Ordinary people simply didn't know about it. They had never even heard of it. But the group of people who stood at the top of the world was like thunder in their ears.
This family was involved in various fields and had a decisive influence on Europe.
Back then, the Rockefeller family attacked Europe and assassinated the royal families of various countries. This caused panic and lasted for nearly a century.
During this period, in addition to the resistance of the royal families of various countries, the biggest resistance force was the Rothschild family.
Some people said that the Rothschild family was Europe's last line of defense. If this family fell, then Europe would completely fall.
Fortunately, the Rothschild family persevered under the attack of the Rockefeller family's vampires and werewolves.
The King had once told Tang Zheng about this period of history. However, he omitted the important Rothschild family.
Even the royal families of various European countries didn't mention this family in their history books. This was because the royal families couldn't say that they kept the country and the throne because of this family and not because of their own efforts.
This was slapping their own face. No one was willing to do such a stupid thing.
The Rothschild family also didn't mind the royal families of various countries erasing their contributions. This family wasn't as popular as the Rockefeller family and frequently appeared in the public eye.
They were better at, or rather, liked to lie dormant. If they encountered an enemy, they could take advantage of the situation and give the enemy a fatal blow.
Of course, the most talked about were the twelve Holy Knights of this family. These were the twelve people who played a significant role in the long battle with the Rockefeller family and were conferred the title of Holy Knights.
Countless vampires and werewolves died at the hands of the Holy Knights.
It could be said that they were the most powerful group of people in Europe. Of course, they were also the most secretive group.
They were like ghosts. Very few people knew of their existence. Even the royal families of various countries didn't know where the Holy Knights were today.
Moreover, decades had passed since the battle that year. Were the twelve Holy Knights still alive?
Even if they were, they were already close to a hundred years old. Could they still fight?
But no one dared to question this question.
"I thought you knew everything. Finally, I found something you don't know. This is great." Princess Anne said happily as if she had discovered a new continent.
Tang Zheng rolled his eyes speechlessly. What was there to be happy about?
"I'll teach you if you don't know. It's very simple. You're so smart. You'll learn it quickly." Anne took the initiative to pull Tang Zheng up and walked to the dance floor.
Alex looked at this scene angrily. He invited Anne to dance, but she rejected him without hesitation. This stupid guy didn't know how to dance, but she volunteered to teach him.
At that moment, he was completely inferior to Tang Zheng. To be defeated by a guy who lived off a woman was like being slapped hard in the face. He even had the intention to kill someone.
Tang Zheng didn't care about this brother's thoughts. Looking at Princess Anne's back, he felt helpless. He couldn't just reject her. After all, she was a princess of a country. Her subjects were all watching. If he rejected her, he was afraid that he would be killed by their eyes.
However, when Anne held his hand and walked to the dance floor, they immediately attracted the attention of most people.
Princess Anne gave the first one to the mysterious knight. The relationship between the two was even more clear. It seemed that the rumors were true.
Alex stood there in a daze. Seeing other people looking at him, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. He turned his eyes and saw Mu Hongyan. His eyes flashed with a touch of surprise, and then he politely invited: "Beautiful Miss Mu, may I invite you to dance?"
Mu Hongyan's eyes were fixed on Tang Zheng. Her heart was slightly sour. Hearing Alex's invitation, she refused without hesitation: "Sorry, I'm a little tired. I don't want to dance."
She smiled faintly and walked to the side, leaving Alex standing there like a puppet in a daze, his mind in a mess.
