Emperor Longqing raised his wine cup and personally toasted Long Xiao, "His Majesty the Emperor of Heavenly Dragon is truly a young talent worthy of admiration."
Long Xiao also hastily raised his wine cup, "Compared to Your Majesty of Da Qing, at most, I can only be considered a junior, Your Majesty’s praise is misplaced."
The words made Emperor Longqing imnsely pleased, and he drained his cup in one go.
In his heart, he grew even more appreciative of this young emperor, yet also more wary.
To beco the ruler of a nation at such a young age, yet lacking the usual arrogance of youth, a person like this is certainly extraordinary.
Emperor Longqing had heard so things about Heavenly Dragon, after all, if this Emperor of Heavenly Dragon lacked ability, how could he have grasped the entire Heavenly Dragon in such a short ti?
Emperor Longqing pondered this inwardly, unaware that the Heavenly Dragon Emperor, who left a deep impression in his mind, had all his attention secretly focused on...
His own sister.
From the mont he entered the hall, Long Xiao had been using the corner of his eye to observe Gu Shengyin, who sat diagonally opposite him.
Both of them held highly esteed positions, so naturally, their seats were closest to Emperor Longqing, making it easy for Long Xiao to see the expression on Gu Shengyin’s face clearly.
He noticed the undeniable surprise in her eyes when they landed on his face.
Yet, it lasted only for a fleeting mont.
After Gu Shengyin drank a cup of wine, her expression returned to its usual indifference, no longer glancing in his direction.
Long Xiao felt a bit dejected.
He was ticulously analyzing, was Yong Le angry?
Indeed, the way he treated her at that ti and his refusal to honestly reveal his identity, now appearing so abruptly, must surely provoke discontent.
However...
A determined glint crossed Long Xiao’s eyes: Discontent, no problem, he has infinite ti in the future to make her satisfied with him.
He was so eager to finalize the status between the two, to make her—belong to him.
When Emperor Longqing glanced over, he happened to see the young Emperor of Heavenly Dragon gazing at his sister, the emotion in his eyes sowhat moving.
At the sa ti, Emperor Longqing was puzzled. The Heavenly Dragon Emperor, was it his first ti in Da Qing? How was it as if he had seen Bao Chan before?
"Your Majesty, Emperor of Da Qing." Long Xiao suddenly stood up and called to him.
Emperor Longqing felt a bad premonition arising in his heart.
Instinctively wanting to say sothing to interrupt Long Xiao’s words, he was unsuccessful.
"I ca on this visit to Da Qing with the intention of uniting Heavenly Dragon and Da Qing inan eternal alliance." Long Xiao said with a smile.
As soon as these words were spoken, the ministers of Heavenly Dragon were understanding, having long known their emperor’s intentions.
But the Da Qing side was in uproar.
The ministers were in an uproar, all saying, So this was the reason.
No wonder Heavenly Dragon suddenly sent an envoy to Da Qing.
Regarding the proposed alliance, most ministers’ first reaction was — this is a good thing!
The Da Qing Dynasty and Heavenly Dragon Dynasty were among the top nations on this continent.
Da Qing was affluent, while Heavenly Dragon was renowned for its formidable combat strength.
If Da Qing could form an alliance with Heavenly Dragon, exchange and cooperation between the two countries would undoubtedly be a great benefit.
Only Emperor Longqing’s expression beca quite subtle upon hearing this.
He truly hadn’t anticipated that the Emperor of Heavenly Dragon would actually say those words in such a public setting.
