"The token is genuine." The person said.
The messenger snorted. ’Of course, it is genuine.’
"Please follow me. And who is this?" The person looked at Liu Longwei and his aide.
"Oh, that is the famous third prince and his aide." The messenger snorted while looking down on the third prince and his aide.
The third prince had offended the fourth prince and the Noble Consort Furen. That was why he was here.
"The emperor ordered him to come and stay here for a period as a punishment." The Messenger explained.
"Oh, I see. Come in." The person said.
The person escorted the messenger to meet General Bai. The messenger finally saw Bai Xiang and Bai Tingfeng.
"General Bai." The messenger greeted Bai Xiang.
"Why do you come here?" Bai Xiang asked.
After knowing what his daughter had been suffered in the Capital City, he did not have any good feelings toward the people from there.
The messenger took out the decree. Everyone kneeled down immediately. However, Bai Xiang and Bai Tingfeng were still stood up. The messenger frowned.
"General Bai, Junior General Bai, what are you doing, still standing up? Quickly kneel down on the royal decree." The messenger said.
Bai Xiang and Bai Tingfeng looked at each other.
"Are you serious asking us to do that?" Bai Tingfeng asked.
"Huh?" The messenger was confused. They should be kneeling.
"I understand that you are young and did not know about this." Bai Xiang said.
"What?" The messenger was still confused. ’Is there anything else that I don’t know about?’
"My descendant from me and I don’t have to kneel down to the emperor or any of the royal family members." Bai Xiang stated.
The messenger was shocked. However, when he was thinking for a while, he remembered that.
"Please announce the royal decree." Bai Xiang said.
The messenger coughed several times to clear his throat.
"His Majesty ordered the talented alchemist to come to the capital city to fulfil his duty for the Liuyin Empire." The messenger stated.
Bai Xiang and Bai Tingfeng frowned. What did he just say? Talented alchemist? Even the soldiers around frowned.
The emperor asked for that alchemist who helped them to increase their strength to protect the country to be an alchemist exclusively for the royal family only. No way.
"What do you mean by that?" Bai Xiang said.
"General Bai, the emperor knows that you have a talented alchemist to begin with. The emperor wanted him to go to the Capital City and serve the royal family. He would be known as the royal alchemist." The messenger felt it was a great honour to serve the royal family.
However, it was not the same as Bai Xiang and others thought. They looked at Bai Xiang and waited for his answer. Well, they were hoping that Bai Xiang would not give the alchemist to the royal family just like that.
