Audrey said to her father through information currents, "Father, you're wrong. Back then, we submitted to Fang Xingjian and were on the Second Prince's side."
"Sigh, Audrey, forget about Fang Xingjian," Audrey's father advised. "No matter how strong Fang Xingjian is, how can he be a match for the Mage Association? I heard that he was in the seven great clans previously. Did you meet him? "Right now, Lord Devin has gone to deal with the seven great clans. Fang Xingjian has probably been defeated by him."
Audrey looked at her father and shook her head in disappointment.
However, Audrey's father thought that Audrey had not thought things through and continued to persuade her. He then said, "Audrey, it's good that you've come today. Later on, Lord Shi Shou's son, Shi Shi, will be coming as well. You should get to know him well."
"Father, you!" Audrey looked at her father in disbelief.
Her father smiled bitterly and helplessly, "Audrey, I'm doing this for your own good. Shi Shi is Lord Shi Shou's only descendant and has received Shi Shou's unparalleled favor. He is also in his prime, suave, and extremely talented. Not only is he a great genius in the Gold Robed faction, but he has also attained a breakthrough to tier one of the Divine level. "There will only be benefits for you to be with him. There will be no disadvantages."
Audrey's gaze was filled with disappointment and coldness as she looked at her father. Although she knew that he was doing this for the good of her clan, his behavior still disappointed her.
At this moment, there was a commotion in the distance, and an exceptionally handsome young man in a golden robe walked in. A golden-robed man, who was also a Magus, followed closely behind him with a respectful look on his face.
Seeing the young man's appearance, Henry's eyes lit up, and he immediately walked up. "Lord Shi Shi, you're finally here. Everyone has been waiting for you."
Shi Shi smiled, appearing calm and warm. However, if one were to take a closer look, they would be able to see a hint of arrogance in the depths of his eyes.
This was the habit of all Mages. Other than the people from the Mage Association and the Holy See of Truth, the other influences in the world did not pay much attention to them.
The nobles, aristocratic families, officials, and wealthy merchants in front of him were all influential figures, but in Shi Shi's eyes, they were nothing more than insects that he could easily crush to death.
Therefore, Shi Shi smiled reservedly at the head of the Henry Clan and did not say anything else.
On the contrary, the aristocrats in the surroundings crowded over, trying to get into Shi Shi's good books. It was as if they all hoped that their influences would be able to gain more benefits in the Northern Ice Region in the future.
Shi Shi dealt with them one by one. Most of the time, he would just nod his head in a lofty manner. It was as if he was too stingy to even glance at these experts, wealthy merchants, and officials.
However, the people in the surroundings did not seem to care. After all, they were unable to come into contact with the Gold Mage King, and Shi Shou was also high and mighty like a heavenly god.
They could only think of ways to curry favor with Shi Shi. So what if he was incomparably arrogant? In their eyes, Shi Shi's status was even more noble than the Empire's royal family.
"Hehe, even if it's the Empire's royal family and the legacy of the Ancient Path of Hell, how can they compare to the Mage Association?"
"Lord Shi Shou is an expert who is second only to the Gold Mage King in the Gold Robed faction. Shi Shi is almost like a character who is like a prince. If we can get into his good books, our clan will be able to do whatever we want in the Northern Ice Region."
Countless people approached Shi Shi with such thoughts in their minds, causing this young Gold Robed Mage to become the center of attention in the entire banquet.
The head of the Henry Clan was observing the situation. When he saw a hint of impatience flashing in Shi Shi's eyes, he immediately waved his hand to dismiss everyone.
Shi Shi nodded. "I heard from my father that amongst the many great clans in the Northern Ice Region, the Henry Clan has the most ancient legacy and a strong background. In the future, our Gold Robed faction will still need the support of the Henry Clan's head when it comes to governing the Northern Ice Region."
"That's for sure," the head of the Henry Clan said respectfully. Patriarch Henry said with a respectful expression, "Sirs, all of you are top-notch experts in the world. To be able to be of service to all of you is my Henry Clan's good fortune."
Just then, the head of the Henry Clan, who had been observing Shi Shi attentively, suddenly noticed that when Shi Shi's gaze swept past Audrey, there was finally a hint of astonishment in his indifferent gaze.
The head of the Henry Clan smiled. "That's the number one beauty in our Northern Ice Region, the Pop Clan's Audrey."
"Oh?" A hint of interest flashed in Shi Shi's eyes, and for the first time since his appearance, he spoke in a questioning tone.
The head of the Henry Clan was a sly old fox. When he heard Shi Shi's tone, he immediately understood what he meant and said, "Haha, Audrey has always admired Sir's talent. The two of you are a perfect match and can have a good chat. I'll call them over."
With that, he sent information currents to Audrey and her father, asking Audrey to come over quickly.
However, Audrey was not moved at all. Audrey's father persuaded, "Audrey, at least go over and have a chat. It's fine if it's just a chat, right? If you give Shi Shi too much face, it'll probably be hard for our Pop Clan to survive in the Northern Ice Region. "
Audrey let out a sigh and said, "Father, you're wrong. The Northern Ice Region wasn't the world of the Gold Robed Mages in the past, and it probably won't be the world of the Gold Robed Mages in the future either."
When the Henry Clan saw that Audrey did not move after a long time, his countenance sank. He thought that Audrey did not know how to appreciate favors just because of her beauty. He called out, "Audrey, come over. Lord Shi Shi wishes to meet you."
He shouted this out, wanting to force Audrey to come over.
However, Audrey merely threw him an indifferent glance, lowered her eyelids, and said, "Henry Clan's head, have you forgotten that you were defeated by Xingjian a few months ago and swore to be loyal to the Second Prince? How long has it been since then, and you've already changed sides? "
Hearing Audrey's words, the countenance of the Henry Clan's head turned grim. He had been badly beaten up by Fang Xingjian, and even the remains of his four ancestors had been destroyed. This matter had always been a humiliation to him.
Hearing Audrey say this, how could he not be infuriated?
He suppressed his anger and said, "Miss Audrey, as the saying goes, 'A good man chooses a good tree to perch on.' "In the past, Fang Xingjian used violence to force and threaten our Henry Clan to lower our heads. "Right now, Lord Shi Shou has come to the Northern Ice Region. The Gold Robed Mages have dominated the world for several thousand years, and Lord Gold Mage King is a top-notch expert, a tier five Divine level existence. "What's wrong with me submitting to the Lords' demeanor?"
Audrey's head remained lowered as she sighed and said, "The clan head is so fickle. Aren't you afraid that Xingjian will kill you when he returns?"
"Hahahaha." The Henry Clan's head laughed out loud. "Fang Xingjian is just a young brat. In the past, he relied on his sword arts from who knows where to not show any respect to the royal family and seniors, acting tyrannically and wreaking havoc everywhere. "However, right now, Lord Shi Shou is in the Sun City. His gold faction black magic is unrivalled in the world, and he can control time and life span. How can a mere Fang Xingjian be a match for him? "Moreover, it's said that Fang Xingjian is hiding in the Holy Light Clan. However, Lord Devin has already led a team into the depths of the snowy mountains, and the seven great clans have all been suppressed. However, even when the Holy Light Clan's head, Jacob, was suppressed, Fang Xingjian still did not appear. "Right now, over half of the Holy Light Clan's wealth has been sent to the Sun City, but Fang Xingjian still hasn't appeared."
