Beside Yan Song was a skinny old man. His hair was white and he was dressed in luxurious clothes. He looked similar to Yan Song.
Lu Ming guessed that this person should be the Grand Tutor.
The Grand Tutor squinted his eyes and smiled faintly. It was hard to tell what he was thinking and he gave off a scheming vibe.
In the middle seat, there were two people.
One of them was an old man with white hair. He was dressed in a dragon robe and had a jade crown on his head. He should be the Monarch of Bright Flame Country.
Beside the King of Light Fire Country, there was a beautiful lady. She looked to be in her twenties. Her figure was graceful and her eyes were like silk. She was extremely charming and enchanting. This person should be Yan Song's sister, Imperial Concubine Qing.
In other seats, there were other people with extraordinary auras. They should be the upper echelons of Bright Flame Country.
Ruan Tianjiao strode forward and bowed to the Monarch of Bright Flame Country. "Greetings, Your Majesty!"
"Haha, Tianjiao is back. There's no need for formalities. Please take a seat!"
The Monarch of Bright Flame Country laughed.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Ruan Tianjiao said. After which, he walked to a row of seats with Lu Ming and sat down.
"How dare you, Lu Ming. Who do you think you are? What right do you have to sit there?"
Lu Ming had just sat down when Yan Song slammed the table and stood up. He looked at Lu Ming coldly.
Lu Ming smirked. He was going to make things difficult for him so soon!
"Get up. Don't you know where you are? Who are you sitting here? With your status, do you have the right to sit here? Get up and scram to the side! "
Yan Song chided again.
However, Lu Ming acted as though he didn't hear him. He picked up the wine cup on the table and took a sip. "Good wine. It's really good wine. It's a pity that a wild dog is barking and ruining the mood!"
"You … How dare you!"
Yan Song was enraged. His eyes were filled with murderous intent.
"Do you think you're noble? Why did you kneel before me? "
Lu Ming laughed disdainfully.
"Shut up. Men, remove this person's seat!"
Yan Song shouted. Immediately, someone stepped forward to remove Lu Ming's seat.
The King of Bright Flame Country, Imperial Concubine Qing, the Imperial Tutor, and the rest of the people looked on indifferently as though they were watching a good show.
"Scram!"
At that moment, Ruan Tianjiao let out a delicate roar and a murderous aura emanated from her. The bodyguard, who was about to remove Lu Ming's seat, froze in place.
"Lu Ming is my friend. If you want to remove Lu Ming's position, then remove mine as well!"
Nguyen Tianjiao shouted.
"This …"
The guard stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do.
Ruan Tianjiao's status was incomparable to Lu Ming's. She was the Marshal of the Divine Wyrm Army and the Goddess of War of the Bright Fire Country. How could he dare to remove Ruan Tianjiao from her position?
"Retreat? Why aren't we retreating?"
Ruan Tianjiao stared at the guard with a threatening gaze. The guard broke out in cold sweat and looked at Yan Song, the Grand Preceptor, and the others for help.
"Damn it!"
Yan Song was infuriated and jealous.
Lu Ming did not know what medicine he had fed Ruan Tianjiao, but Ruan Tianjiao had been protecting Lu Ming.
"Alright, you may leave. Since this young man is a friend of the Marshal, he can naturally sit here!"
At that moment, the Imperial Tutor spoke.
The guard heaved a sigh of relief, bowed, and retreated as though he had been pardoned.
"Tianjiao, you've returned just in time. I've already granted you a marriage and the date has been set. You've returned just in time to marry Yan Song!"
The King of Bright Flame Country spoke.
"Your Majesty, I've returned for this matter. Feelings can't be forced. I have no feelings for Yan Song. I hope Your Majesty can retract your order!"
Ruan Tianjiao stood up and bowed to the King of Bright Flame Country.
"How dare you!"
Imperial Concubine Qing, who was standing beside the King of Bright Flame Country, shouted coldly, "The Monarch's words are not a joke. Since Your Majesty has already given the order, how can you retract it? Ruan Tianjiao, do you want Your Majesty to be a man who goes back on his words?"
"I wouldn't dare!"
Ruan Tianjiao cupped her fists and said, "If it's anything else, I'll definitely honor it. If you ask me to go into battle to kill the enemy, I won't even frown. However, I can't accept this order!"
"Tianjiao, Imperial Concubine Qing has also said that the Monarch's words are not a joke. Moreover, Yan Song is not bad and is a good match for you. This matter is settled then!"
The King of Bright Flame Country waved his hand and said in an unquestionable tone.
Ruan Tianjiao was in disbelief. She did not expect the King of Bright Flame Country to marry her to Yan Song so hastily without her consent. Although the King of Bright Flame Country in the past was muddle-headed, he would not do this.
"Previously, Your Majesty has already announced to the world that the two of you will be married in half a month. This matter is settled then. During this period, Marshal Tianjiao shall stay in the palace!"
The Imperial Tutor spoke as though the matter had been settled.
Ruan Tianjiao shook her head. She was extremely disappointed in the King of Bright Flame Country.
Initially, she came back to ask the King of Bright Flame Country for an explanation and for the King of Bright Flame Country to retract his order. However, she now realized that the King of Bright Flame Country was completely on the Imperial Tutor's side.
Lu Ming did not say anything. A strange light flashed in his eyes as he secretly sized up the King of Bright Flame Country. He had discovered something interesting.
"Tianjiao, I'm afraid the King of Bright Flame Country won't listen to you. Imperial Concubine Qing is good at seduction techniques. The King of Bright Flame Country has already fallen for her seduction techniques and will listen to everything she says!"
Lu Ming transmitted his voice to Ruan Tianjiao.
"What?"
Ruan Tianjiao was stunned at first. Then, she flew into a rage and stood up abruptly. A powerful aura spread out as she glared at the Imperial Tutor and shouted, "Yan Kui and Yan Ling, how dare you use seduction techniques to bewitch His Majesty!"
As soon as she said that, the expressions of Imperial Concubine Qing, the Imperial Tutor, Yan Song, and the others changed drastically.
"Ruan Tianjiao, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Yan Song roared.
"You know very well whether I'm talking nonsense or not. Yan Kui and Yan Ling, you dare to plot against His Majesty and control him from the shadows. No wonder His Majesty doesn't care about the affairs of the imperial court and gave you all the power. I'm going to announce this to the world!"
"Lu Ming, let's go!"
Having said that, Ruan Tianjiao strode out.
"Stop him!"
The Imperial Tutor's face was gloomy. With a wave of his hand, four figures flashed and surrounded Lu Ming and Ruan Tianjiao. Each of them exuded a powerful aura.
Perfect Bright Sage Realm!
Lu Ming did not need to look to know that the four of them were at the Perfect Bright Sage Realm and were not any weaker than Ruan Tianjiao.
"The four of you are Marshals. Are you willing to give in to the Imperial Tutor?"
Ruan Tianjiao spoke with a solemn expression.
The four of them were on par with her. The other four marshals of Bright Fire Country had strong combat strength. They were all in the Great Circle of the Bright Sage Realm. Each of their combat strength was not much weaker than hers. If the four of them joined forces, she would definitely be no match for them.
"Ruan Tianjiao, you disobeyed the imperial decree. You are indeed ambitious and want to rebel!"
The Imperial Tutor spoke plainly and pinned a serious crime on Ruan Tianjiao.
"Nonsense!"
