"Brother Su, if itâs really inconvenient to be seen, you can enter the city through the Wei Yuan Corpsâ route!"
Du Jingâs Book thought for a moment and said.
He hadnât seen Su Yue take out the Kingâs rank chest insignia and thought Su Yue was in a bad mood, insisting on a standoff.
In fact, Du Jingâs Book didnât recognize the chest insignia either.
"Su Yue, we have a mission in Jiangyuan Country, the big picture is more important."
Gong Ling also softly reminded.
Throughout the journey, Su Yue hadnât gotten angry at all.
Not far away, a family from Jiangyuan Country was passing through the city gate, a small boy tightly holding his fatherâs arm.
"Dad, are those people from the Divine Land? Iâm scared."
The small boy cautiously said.
"Dad, letâs hurry into the city, Iâm scared."
Another slightly older girl also looked timidly at Su Yue and his group.
The nearby children who were trying to get some snacks also scattered to a distance, seemingly afraid that Su Yue and his group would get angry and involve them.
Bao Dachangâs head was pounding.
The Wei Yuan Corps had basically sent a revered person.
As an external affairs officer, he had been living in Jiangyuan Country for years, so he was very aware of the countryâs mixed feelings of fear and awe toward the Divine Land.
In other places, it might not matter to bully them a bit.
But this was their city gate, equivalent to the entrance of national defense, and we really shouldnât be troubling the National Guardian Master Team of Jiangyuan Country here, itâs a bit excessive.
Yet, facing Su Yue, Bao Dachang couldnât speak harshly.
He had already received the message earlier that this was a cherished group of students from the four major Martial Arts Academies of the Divine Land, even the generals of the seven major corps kept a close watch, how could he, a small external affairs officer, afford to offend them?
But continuing the standoff wasnât a solution either.
"Esteemed guest from the Divine Land, we have prepared a special passage for you, please go there for a routine inspection.
"We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused to you."
At this moment, another squad leader ran over.
They had made many preparations to welcome the diplomatic mission, under no circumstances could they allow people from the Divine Land to be troubled.
The special passage was already Jiangyuan Countryâs greatest concession.
"You remain silent first."
However, this time the commanderâs expression changed.
Not only did he refrained from allowing the leader to further remind Su Yue, but he instead sternly stopped him from speaking, then abruptly stood up straight, his demeanor exceptionally solemn.
Swish!
The next moment, Guard Commander actually saluted respectfully.
Jiangyuan Country had very strict rules and etiquette, there were different ceremony specifications for various officials.
This was the highest etiquette outside meeting the King.
At this moment, other martial artists from the National Guardian Master Team also clearly saw the chest insignia Su Yue had just put on his chest.
Oh my... Kingâs rank!
The martial artists immediately saluted solemnly, their eyes full of respect, no longer daring to harbor any doubts.
Other martial artists behind Su Yue, who hadnât seen the chest insignia, also followed suit and saluted.
This was the etiquette for meeting the royalty, almost all martial artists did so instinctively.
"Um... do I still need to be checked?"
Su Yue asked a bit embarrassedly.
Since people were saluting him, it seemed the chest insignia Wang Yetao had helped him secure was indeed effective.
But whether the privileges attached to the chest insignia could be honored, Su Yue still had to confirm.
Couldnât allow himself to appear like an idle noble.
"You are Lord of the Kingâs rank, and exempt from inspection, it was inappropriate of us, we deeply apologize."
The City Defense Guardâs face was tense, he quickly lowered his head and said.
This was no joking matter.
The Kingâs rank wouldnât even need inspection, even if bringing back foreigners.
In Jiangyuan Country, the Kingâs rank equated to being the Kingâs brother, with extremely high treatment.
Though rules werenât as stringent as during feudal times, Jiangyuan Countryâs long-standing culture made everyone still respect and revere royal authority.
This mindset was deeply ingrained.
Moreover, the Grandmaster stratum of Jiangyuan Country was entirely composed of royalty, if foreign tribes attacked, the royal family were the first to charge.
In short, from both a martial and a moral perspective, the royal family was unparalleled in Jiangyuan Country.
Moreover, this was a Kingâs rank chest insignia, not to be confused with the concept of princes and princesses.
"You all quickly salute, this is the Kingâs rank of our Jiangyuan Country."
The family who spoke softly earlier hurriedly also saluted Su Yue.
Even the nearby passersby stopped and saluted.
Even the small children were saluting in a not-so-proper manner, and the previously bustling city gate suddenly became quiet.
"Uh, well... since thereâs no need for inspection, I wouldnât bother unpacking, wrapping it up is indeed quite troublesome.
"Sorry for the trouble caused to you."
Su Yue nodded.
Not having to unpack is good, looks like this chest insignia can save a lot of trouble as well.
"Student Su Yue, quickly let them dispense with the ceremony, and put away the chest insignia, otherwise, as you travel along, people will continue to salute you."
Bao Dachang was stunned for a few seconds, then stepped forward and said.
Was I seeing hallucinations?
The Kingâs rank chest insignia, it was actually real?
Was this a film crew shooting a drama!
A Wuda student actually had a Kingâs rank chest insignia.
It was incredibly unbelievable.
In the Divine Land, this chest insignia might not be worth much, but in Jiangyuan Country, it was a symbol of identity, with a very high status.
The Kingâs rank chest insignia was one of a kind and could not be forged.
In Jiangyuan Country, besides the Kingâs biological brothers, no one could obtain it unless they made great meritorious contributions to saving the country.
This was the highest known achievement in Jiangyuan Country.
If not for a profound understanding of Jiangyuan Countryâs background, Bao Dachang wouldnât dare believe it all.
