Zeng Daonong nodded, "Hmm, however, these are merely minor matters. This time, we came to Yin Country to take advantage of our status to ensure our Zeng Family’s business here unfolds smoothly."

"The newly appointed Prince Yin is extremely friendly towards our Divine Land and wishes to forge a good relationship with us. We are the only invited foreign envoys at this coronation ceremony!"

"We must make full use of this status to achieve our goals."

Zeng Yuning and Zeng Liang nodded repeatedly.

"Alright, let’s rest for now." Zeng Daonong waved his hand.

The night passed quickly.

The next day.

The entire Yin Country Palace was exceptionally lively.

Thousands of Imperial Guards stood upright, maintaining strict control, with sentries every three steps and guards every five steps, armed with rifles and exuding a murderous aura. There were also numerous tanks and heavy armor cars present as a show of force.

The main hall of the palace, the primary venue for the coronation ceremony, was bustling.

Nobles, aristocratic families, and military officials of Yin Country entered the venue one by one and took their seats according to their ranks.

The seven Indian Empire’s Generals, dressed in military uniforms, exuded an aura of authority. Many of the top nobles’ family heads were also present, standing on equal footing with the Seven Great Marshals.

They were all granted first-class guest seats by royal decree.

The first-class seats were the highest level seats apart from the four special guest seats.

Zeng Daonong and his two sons, led by several guards, arrived at the main hall.

A guard spoke respectfully, "Honored Shenzhou Envoy, your seats are at the front first-class guest seats, very close to our Prince Yin, and you are the only foreign guests at this coronation ceremony."

"Your first-class guest seats are top-tier treatment! Even our seven Generals are only given first-class guest seats. Above you, there are only four special guest seats."

"Oh? Four special guest seats?"

Zeng Daonong asked curiously, "For whom are these four special guest seats reserved?"

"One is reserved for our Indian Holy Sect High Priest, another for our State Preceptor, and the remaining two... you will soon find out."

"Please—"

Upon hearing this, Zeng Yuning and his companions nodded slightly and walked towards the front first-class guest seats.

Their appearance immediately drew the eager attention of everyone present! These people of Shenzhou were also granted first-class guest seats by royal decree?

Even the Seven Great Marshals, and top nobles with a heritage of thousands of years in Yin Country, were only granted first-class guest seats!

Zeng Daonong saw the astonished and envious looks from the crowd and felt an immense sense of satisfaction.

They greatly enjoyed this feeling of being the center of attention.

Just then, there was another hubbub in the hall.

The members of the Holy Sect, dressed in white robes, appeared.

The Holy Sect High Priest, holding a staff, headed straight to the special guest seats at the front.

"This is our Indian Holy Sect High Priest," the guard whispered in their ear.

Zeng Daonong nodded, knowing that Yin Country was a religious nation and that the position of High Priest represented supreme religious authority, second only to the King.

Being granted a special guest seat was very reasonable.

Soon after the High Priest appeared, the State Preceptor, dressed in a gray robe, also appeared.

He exuded awe-inspiring majesty, leading members of the Zhengyi Sect through the crowd to the special guest seats.

As he passed Zeng Daonong and the others, they didn’t dare to breathe heavily.

That overwhelming aura was too strong.

"This must be Yin Country’s State Preceptor; it’s only logical for him to sit in the special guest seats," they thought to themselves.

Precisely because the people sitting in the special guest seats had prestigious identities, their first-class guest seats appeared extraordinarily impressive, second only to these individuals.

At this moment, there were still two vacant spots in the special guest seats.

Suddenly, Zeng Yuning pointed to the distance, "Dad! That guy Chen Xiao has appeared!"

Zeng Daonong looked up and indeed saw Chen Xiao and Leng Baiyu striding into the main hall.

The two moved towards the front.

As they got closer, Zeng Yuning stood up and sneered, "Chen Xiao, Chief Instructor Leng, sorry, it seems our first-class guest seats are already full."

"The three of us are officially invited special guests representing Shenzhou, so this treatment is normal, but for you two, riding on our coattails like a supporting cast, expecting the same treatment seems a bit difficult."

"It’s already a great honor for you to ride on our coattails into this main hall, and you still want to sit in the first-class guest seats with us? Better look around for an empty spot and squeeze in somewhere!"

"Are you sick?!" Chen Xiao raised an eyebrow.

This woman was really annoying.

If it were not for considering the repercussions, he would have long wanted to slap her away.

He was showing respect to Elder Mo’s face.

After all, these guys represented not just themselves, but also Elder Mo and the Divine Land.

Leng Baiyu stated coldly, "You better stop embarrassing yourself and sit down and shut your mouth!"

Indeed, seeing the dispute, everyone cast their gaze over.

Zeng Daonong snorted softly and sighed, "Chief Instructor Leng, I always thought you were someone sensible, but you turned out to be so unreasonable."

"You need to face reality—this is the Yin Country coronation ceremony, a special occasion! The three of us represent Shenzhou, while you are merely here to liaise with us! Frankly speaking, you have no status here, understand?"

"I know you’re jealous and dissatisfied seeing me seated in first-class guest seats, but you must face reality—this is the situation now."

After saying this, he pompously spoke to the guard next to him, "These two are also from Shenzhou like us, although they’re not envoys, they are at least with us. Please do us a favor, assign them a seat to watch the coronation ceremony, treat it as giving them some exposure."

The guard’s face stiffened.

What nonsense was this guy talking?

Chen Xiao was their new king’s brother-in-law!

He even defeated the State Preceptor and High Priest!

Without Chen Xiao, Tian Han wouldn’t have become the King of Yin Country.

And he expected him to randomly seat Chen Xiao and his companion?

Did he have a death wish to disrespect Chen Xiao?

Before he could speak, the State Preceptor and High Priest at the special guest seats couldn’t sit still anymore; they immediately stood up and briskly walked down.

Zeng Yuning and his companions saw the High Priest and State Preceptor approach and immediately rebuked Chen Xiao, "Chen Xiao, are you still going to make a scene here? This is Yin Country; you’re embarrassing yourself internationally! You’ve even alarmed the High Priest and State Preceptor!"

However, the next moment, the State Preceptor and High Priest simultaneously bowed and fawned at Chen Xiao and Leng Baiyu, "Mr. Chen, Miss Leng, you’re finally here."

"We’ve been reserving the two seats in the middle of the four special guest seats just for you. Please quickly take your seats; without you, it’s uncomfortable for us to even sit there!"
