"Haha, Brother Ling, you came so quickly. Please forgive me for not going out to welcome you!"
Bold laughter rang out as Hua Zhengxing strode over with a few guards in tow.
The other concubines, ministers, princes, and princesses bowed to Hua Zhengxing.
The Crimson Cloud Valley Master stood up and cupped his fists. "Greetings, Your Majesty. Congratulations on your 60th birthday. This is a small gift, please accept it!"
The Crimson Cloud Valley Master took out a jade box and handed it to Hua Zhengxing.
"Brother Ling, you're too polite!"
Hua Zhengxing smiled and accepted the jade box, handing it to a guard.
"Mystic Essence Sword Sect Master and elders have arrived!"
At this moment, another shout was heard.
Lu Ming looked towards the source of the voice.
Mystic Essence Sword Sect Master Lin Xueyi walked in with a few golden-robed elders. Feng Wuji was also beside them.
"Lin Xueyi greets Your Majesty. I wish Your Majesty a long life. This is a small gift, please accept it!"
Lin Xueyi walked over, took out a jade box, and handed it to Hua Zhengxing.
"Brother Lin, it's my honor that you're here. There's no need to be so polite. Please take a seat!"
Hua Zhengxing accepted the gift and said politely.
At this moment, another shout was heard. It was the Ghost Moon Saber Sect Master and elders of one of the five major sects.
Among them, one of the six heroes, the number one genius of the Ghost Moon Saber Sect, Shangguan Luo, had also arrived.
Three of the five major sects had arrived.
Soon, one of the five major sects, the Heaven Fiend Sect, had also arrived.
Everyone took their seats, and Hua Zhengxing chatted with the four sect masters.
"Ten Directions Sword Sect Master and elders have arrived!"
"Sky Suppressing King has arrived!"
Several shouts were heard.
Everyone was shocked. Lu Ming looked towards the entrance.
A group of people walked in.
The person in the lead was dressed in luxurious clothes. His eyebrows were sharp like swords. Although he was middle-aged, he was extremely handsome. Just one look at him and one could feel that he had the power to conquer mountains and rivers.
Beside him was a burly man in his fifties. He had a stocky build and wore a dragon robe. As he looked around, a murderous aura could be vaguely seen. He was like a general who had dominated the battlefield.
"The person in the lead is Ten Directions Sword Sect Master, Qiu Wuyang. Beside him is Sky Suppressing King."
Hua Chi whispered in Lu Ming's ear.
Lu Ming nodded, he looked at the muscular man in the Jiao dragon robe and thought, So he is Heavenly King Suppression!
Lu Ming still remembered how he had taught the Suppressing Heavenly King's son, Hua Jie, a harsh lesson when he had just arrived at the imperial city.
Thinking of Hua Jie, Lu Ming realized that there was a pair of eyes filled with killing intent behind Heavenly King Suppression. If it wasn't Hua Jie, who else could it be?
Lu Ming smiled faintly at Hua Jie and pointed to his crotch.
Hua Jie's face turned red and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
Obviously, Lu Ming was referring to him peeing his pants in fright.
However, with so many important figures present, how could he dare to flare up? He could only grit his teeth and bear with it.
"Haha, Brother Qiu has graced us with your presence. This Emperor is extremely honored."
Hua Zhengxing quickly got up and cupped his fists at Qiu Wuyang with a smile on his face.
The other concubines, princes, and princesses also stood up and bowed respectfully.
"Your Majesty is too polite. I came in a hurry today and forgot to bring a gift. Please forgive me."
Qiu Wuyang nodded indifferently.
There was no trace of respect in his tone. It could be said that he didn't care at all.
To put it in a bad way, he didn't take the Emperor seriously at all.
The other Sect Masters would more or less greet him politely, but Qiu Wuyang's attitude was cold. Not to mention greeting him, he even said that he didn't have time to bring birthday gifts.
How childish was this reason?
The other Sect Masters' faces turned ugly.
Hua Zhengxing was even more stunned. Then, he forced a smile and said, "Brother Qiu, it's enough that you're here. There's no need for gifts. Please take a seat!"
"Second Brother, I came with Sect Master Qiu and forgot to bring gifts. Please don't take offense. Haha!"
Heavenly King Suppression laughed and sat down on the side.
"Damn it!"
Hua Chi was so angry that his whole body trembled and his teeth chattered.
Qiu Wuyang and Heavenly King Suppression's attitude was blatant contempt. They even ignored the Emperor's authority and didn't take the Emperor of the Burning Sun Empire seriously at all.
Anger flashed across Hua Zhengxing's eyes, but he hid it well. In the blink of an eye, a smile appeared on his face. He returned to his seat and raised his wine cup. "It's my great honor to have all of you here today. Come, let me toast to all of you."
Everyone raised their cups and drank it in one gulp.
"Haha, this is great. All of you are the pillars of the Burning Sun Empire. I …"
Hua Zhengxing said with a laugh, but he was interrupted at this moment.
"Alright, Your Majesty. The wine has been drunk and the congratulations have been given. It's time to talk about business."
Qiu Wuyang said flatly, stopping Hua Zhengxing in the middle of his sentence.
Hua Zhengxing, as well as some other nobles and ministers, had ugly expressions on their faces.
Interrupting others was an extremely rude thing to do, let alone the Emperor of a country.
Qiu Wuyang did not take the royal family seriously at all.
"Qiu Wuyang, we are here today to celebrate His Majesty's birthday. This is the proper business. Is there anything else?"
Lin Xueyi looked at Qiu Wuyang and said coldly.
Qiu Wuyang's attitude was too much.
Hua Zhengxing looked at Lin Xueyi gratefully.
"Of course there is something else. Although His Majesty's birthday celebration is important, it is much less important compared to this."
Qiu Wuyang glanced at Lin Xueyi indifferently. A murderous aura flashed across the depths of his eyes. He then looked around and said, "Everyone, what do you think of the Burning Sun Empire?"
Everyone's eyes flickered. They didn't understand why Qiu Wuyang asked this question.
After a while, an elder cupped his fists and said, "With the support of His Majesty and the various Sect Leaders, the Burning Sun Empire's national strength is improving day by day. It is only a matter of time before we surpass other countries."
This elder was the Prime Minister of the Burning Sun Empire and was loyal to the Imperial family.
"Bullsh * t!"
Qiu Wuyang flung his sleeves and scolded.
The Prime Minister's face flushed red. As the Prime Minister, how could he be scolded in public like this? Where was his dignity?
But in front of Qiu Wuyang, he didn't dare to refute and could only hold it in.
Hua Zhengxing's face was also ugly.
Scolding the Prime Minister was indirectly scolding him.
"Currently, the thirty-six countries of Emperor Yun are working hard and improving their strength. The Burning Sun Empire is surrounded by strong enemies. The other countries are eyeing us covetously and most of them are stronger than the Burning Sun Empire."
"Everyone knows this, right? Among the thirty-six countries of Emperor Yun, the Burning Sun Empire's strength is at the bottom. "
Qiu Wuyang looked around and said loudly.
Everyone's face changed slightly. Qiu Wuyang was right. Among the thirty-six countries of Emperor Yun, the Burning Sun Empire's strength was indeed at the bottom.
Moreover, the surrounding countries were eyeing them covetously.
"The Burning Sun Empire has many geniuses and experts. But why is it getting weaker and weaker? Do you know the reason?"
Qiu Wuyang asked.
Everyone frowned. They didn't know what Qiu Wuyang was trying to say.
Seeing that no one spoke, Qiu Wuyang smiled faintly and said, "That is, the strength of the Burning Sun Empire is too spread out and everyone fights for themselves. It would be strange if they weren't weak."
"Oh? Qiu Wuyang, what should we do according to what you said? "
