500: Chapter 500 King-Level Seal

As she watched, Bai Rou felt herself becoming infatuated.

Whether it was Ye Qing's appearance or his aura, it was everything she liked.

At the same time, inside the Imperial Capital Military Department.

King Yu was looking at a seal, his face showing signs of hesitation.

War King and the others were also standing nearby.

"What do you think we should do about this King-level Seal and the Enthronement Ceremony? Should we hold it for Ye Qing now, or wait until the Leader returns?"

At these words, everyone fell silent. This was indeed a good question, and a difficult one to answer.

Ye Qing had now become a King-level Expert. Typically, when someone in the military department became a King-level Expert, the Leader would hold an Enthronement Ceremony, present them with a seal, and crown them as a King. However, the Leader was not here right now, and if they waited...

"Regarding this matter, I feel it is better sooner rather than later. Although Ye Qing does not belong to the military department, in principle, we could choose not to hold the Enthronement Ceremony or grant him the King-level title."

"However, Ye Qing's achievements are plain for all to see. He has slain so many exotic beasts and defended the Barrier so many times. Moreover, his bond with the military department is growing deeper. Therefore, let's go ahead and crown Ye Qing as King and give him the seal first. As for the Enthronement Ceremony, we can wait until the Leader returns."

This statement made everyone nod in agreement.

"I think that works. The Leader had already decided on the title for the next King-level Expert."

"We can set off now to Fengqing Mountain Villa to present the King-level Seal to Ye Qing."

"Hmm..." King Yu listened and nodded, then stood up. "Let's go. We will go together; it will be more formal."

"Let's go."

Everyone stood up; after all, they were very willing to attend such an occasion, especially on the day Ye Qing was crowned King.

They departed and soon arrived near Fengqing Mountain Villa.

Inside Fengqing Mountain Villa, the Bai Family and the Shangguan Family were chatting happily with Ye Qing.

On the side, Shangguan Yanran, Bai Rou, and the others widened their eyes, unable to believe what they were seeing. Good heavens, the posture of their fathers and grandfathers seemed a bit too low.

Previously, they had never seen their fathers and grandfathers act this way, but now they were witnessing it. But indeed, the gap in strength and talent was right there, so there was no helping it.

Afterwards, they began to talk about the mineral vein.

"Your families need mineral veins, right? Well, since your families have many people and are quite strong, and while the current development speed of the Jiangcheng Barrier mineral vein is decent, it seems it cannot keep up with the supply. I will write a letter for you; just take it and find City Lord Qian Tu. You can also send people over to help with the mining, and you can just bring back the portion you mine."

These words were like a thunderclap on a clear day, leaving them stunned. Good heavens. Ye Qing was actually this generous?

Such a good opportunity had actually fallen to their two families. With Ye Qing's promise, their families should have plenty of Ore in the future, which meant the overall strength of both families could be raised by a notch.

"Thank you, Ye Qing."

"Yes..."

Before Bai Kai could finish his words of gratitude, he heard the heavy sound of exotic beasts treading on the ground outside the villa.

"Is someone coming?"

As Bai Kai spoke, Ye Qing nodded. "It's King Yu and the others coming over."

At this, Bai Kai and the others became embarrassed. After all, King Yu had personally come here that day to say that visits to Ye Qing were not allowed recently, yet they had visited anyway. If King Yu saw them, wouldn't it look like they hadn't taken his words seriously at all?

But it was too late now; they couldn't just run away.

"Let's go, let's go greet them." Ye Qing said, walking towards the outside.

A moment later, they arrived outside, and King Yu and his group walked in. Seeing Bai Kai and the others, they were stunned.

This... weren't these people from the Bai Family and the Shangguan Family?

How did they get into Fengqing Mountain Villa?

Good heavens, did that mean what he said the other day was completely in vain? Had these families disturbed Ye Qing after all?

"I believe you all know these individuals, King Yu. I invited them over as guests."

After these words, King Yu's expression and gaze shifted. Ye Qing had actually invited them? Could it be that these two families had some connection with Ye Qing? It seemed he would need to be careful in the future.

However, King Yu looked at Bai Kai, Shangguan Nan, and the others. "So that's how it is. Perfect, you can witness the process in a moment."

Witness? Witness what? At once, doubt arose in everyone's hearts. Ye Qing also looked at King Yu with confusion.

Afterwards, King Yu took out a seal and looked at Ye Qing. "Ye Qing, you are now a King-level Expert. By right, King-level Experts of the military department must be presented with a seal and hold an Enthronement Ceremony. These things were originally supposed to be completed by the Leader, but as you know, the Leader is always elusive. Therefore, we have decided to present you with the seal first. As for the Enthronement Ceremony, we will wait until the Leader returns."

"This is your King-level Seal." As he spoke, King Yu handed a brocade box to Ye Qing.

Nearby, the crowd listened, their mouths twitching. Good heavens, so the 'witnessing' was to witness this! This was indeed something worth witnessing. After all, it was the investiture of a King-level Expert.

They all looked at the brocade box, and then Ye Qing opened it, took out the seal inside, and looked at the characters on the bottom.

King Zhenbei!

Wow!

"King Zhenbei, so from now on, Husband is King Zhenbei?" Zhou Lingxue said, covering her small mouth.

King Yu nodded. "That is indeed the name. The military department will also issue a document throughout Huaxia to announce it to the world."

"In the future, whenever you go to the Barriers of Huaxia, you will be treated with the same respect as a military region commander."

There was such a thing? Beside him, Bai Rou looked at Ye Qing, her eyes filled with even more envy. And admiration. This was too cool; a King-level Expert, this could be said to be above ten thousand people!

"We will also start making preparations for your Enthronement Ceremony once the Leader returns," King Yu repeated, afraid that Ye Qing might harbor feelings of dissatisfaction.

"It's fine, I'm not in a hurry." Ye Qing waved his hand. "Let's go, let's go inside for some tea."

After Ye Qing finished speaking, he led them towards the Reception Hall.
