"Brother Su, if it’s really inconvenient to be seen, you can enter the city through the Wei Yuan Corps’ route!"
Du Jing’s Book thought for a mont and said.
He hadn’t seen Su Yue take out the King’s rank chest insignia and thought Su Yue was in a bad mood, insisting on a standoff.
In fact, Du Jing’s Book didn’t 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 hadn’t gotten angry at all.
Not far away, a family from Jiangyuan Country was passing through the city gate, a small boy tightly holding his father’s arm.
"Dad, are those people from the Divine Land? I’m scared."
The small boy cautiously said.
"Dad, let’s hurry into the city, I’m scared."
Another slightly older girl also looked timidly at Su Yue and his group.
The nearby children who were trying to get so snacks also scattered to a distance, seemingly afraid that Su Yue and his group would get angry and involve them.
Bao Dachang’s 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 country’s 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 shouldn’t be troubling the National Guardian Master Team of Jiangyuan Country here, it’s a bit excessive.
Yet, facing Su Yue, Bao Dachang couldn’t speak harshly.
He had already received the ssage 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 wasn’t a solution either.
"Esteed 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 mont, another squad leader ran over.
They had made many preparations to welco the diplomatic mission, under no circumstances could they allow people from the Divine Land to be troubled.
The special passage was already Jiangyuan Country’s greatest concession.
"You remain silent first."
However, this ti the commander’s 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 deanor exceptionally solemn.
Swish!
The next mont, 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 eting the King.
At this mont, 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... King’s rank!
The martial artists imdiately saluted solemnly, their eyes full of respect, no longer daring to harbor any doubts.
Other martial artists behind Su Yue, who hadn’t seen the chest insignia, also followed suit and saluted.
This was the etiquette for eting 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 seed 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.
Couldn’t allow himself to appear like an idle noble.
"You are Lord of the King’s rank, and exempt from inspection, it was inappropriate of us, we deeply apologize."
The City Defense Guard’s face was tense, he quickly lowered his head and said.
This was no joking matter.
The King’s rank wouldn’t even need inspection, even if bringing back foreigners.
In Jiangyuan Country, the King’s rank equated to being the King’s brother, with extrely high treatnt.
Though rules weren’t as stringent as during feudal tis, Jiangyuan Country’s 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 King’s rank chest insignia, not to be confused with the concept of princes and princesses.
"You all quickly salute, this is the King’s 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 beca quiet.
"Uh, well... since there’s no need for inspection, I wouldn’t bother unpacking, wrapping it up is indeed quite troubleso.
"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 King’s rank chest insignia, it was actually real?
Was this a film crew shooting a drama!
A Wuda student actually had a King’s 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 King’s rank chest insignia was one of a kind and could not be forged.
In Jiangyuan Country, besides the King’s biological brothers, no one could obtain it unless they made great ritorious contributions to saving the country.
This was the highest known achievent in Jiangyuan Country.
If not for a profound understanding of Jiangyuan Country’s background, Bao Dachang wouldn’t dare believe it all.
