Ninth class citizen

Chapter 379 A Glimpse of the Truth

Upon hearing His Highness the Crown Prince say this, the members of the delegation suddenly realized what was happening.

"Your Highness is wise!"

"That must be it—our prince is still young, so it's only right that he yields to Prince Sipang!"

"No wonder there was such a long queue before the starship entered the port, it turns out that His Highness Sipang arrived first!"

The more they said that, the uglier the foreign minister's expression became.

Seeing his reaction, some of the more meticulous members of the delegation also logged onto the StarNet. Upon seeing the network, their faces turned an unpleasant purplish-brown.

Some things cannot be kept secret. After much hesitation, the diplomat finally spoke up.

“Your Highness,” he said through gritted teeth, “the delegation from the Mio Empire actually arrived last night. The good news is that His Majesty Tianli did not personally greet them.”

This explanation did indeed make His Highness the Crown Prince feel a little better. He raised his head, his narrow eyes staring directly at him, his voice somewhat hoarse: "So, who exactly is it that His Majesty Tianli has come to personally fetch you?"

"It seems to be his fiancée." The diplomat bowed, cold sweat dripping from his nose onto the carpet in front of the cabin door.

This was an answer His Highness the Crown Prince had never considered.

His face was so somber it looked like it could be wrung out of water.

"That woman of lowly birth?" the Crown Prince's attendant said indignantly. "Knowing that our Crown Prince had already arrived, he went to personally greet such a woman—what does he take the Crown Prince and our Kungu Empire for?"

"I heard that he dotes on this woman." His Highness the Crown Prince said coldly, "He even harmed his aunt's family who raised him because of her."

“His Majesty Tianli is not one to be blinded by love,” the diplomat said in a low voice. “His every move is probably for a deeper purpose.”

“You’re right.” The Crown Prince’s expression grew even colder: “He wants to use this method to give me and our empire a warning.”

"This humiliation!" The attendant gritted his teeth, blood seeping from them as he opened his mouth. "It must be paid for with blood!"

"Nonsense!" The diplomat glared at him. "Do you want to give in to their wishes and fight another war, completely exhausting the empire's strength?"

"Reason tells me I should endure this. Even His Highness the Crown Prince has condescended to come here, so what can't we endure?" The guard said with a bitter laugh.

"But we've come this far. If we back down even a little, they'll take ten steps forward. I'm afraid tomorrow's signing ceremony will face even more unforeseen circumstances!"

His Highness the Crown Prince raised his scepter, silencing the members of the delegation.

“What you said isn’t without merit,” he said in a low voice. “Tianli should pay the price for his arrogance.”

The diplomat was startled: "This is Glory Star, and His Highness Tian Li is an unfathomable ninth-order spacetime controller. Your Highness, you must not act rashly!"

His Highness the Crown Prince smiled slightly.

"What do you take me for?" He glanced casually outside. "Let's go, our people have arrived."

Outside the window, a small military protocol team was waiting, with the person at the front wearing the rank of major general.

His Highness the Crown Prince took a deep breath, put on a gentle and harmless smile, and stepped down the gangway first.

Once inside the hovercar, Nan Rong immediately pulled her hand away from Tian Li's elbow, and the smile on her face vanished.

"What are you up to now?" she asked, casually setting up a soundproof energy shield.

Tian Li's voice was extremely calm: "We are proceeding with the establishment of the Star Alliance according to your plan." "You can do this yourself, why do you have to drag me into it? Besides, I've thought about it, with your current status and abilities, promoting the evolution of the plane is a piece of cake, there's no need to add anything unnecessary."

Tian Li listened quietly as she finished speaking, then turned slightly to the side, his gaze sweeping down coldly onto her face.

A faint aura of pressure emanated, enveloping Nan Rong.

Perhaps because of the increased contact, Nan Rong felt that she was becoming bolder and bolder, and this level of pressure did not seem to have any effect on her.

She tilted her head back and boldly met his gaze.

After a brief eye contact, Tian Li spoke expressionlessly: "It seems you haven't studied your general education courses well enough."

Nan Rong responded with a cold laugh: "Who gave that permission? Who said I didn't need to learn such simple and useless things, and hurriedly called people back?"

Tian Li:
He narrowed his eyes slightly, and a lot of messy general knowledge entered Nan Rong's mind through his brow.

She understood for a moment, then couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"Therefore, only evolution driven by the natives of this plane can be recognized by the laws of the universe," Nan Rong said.
"If that's the case, why can't you, like the examiners in other planes, retire early and obediently become an instructor? Or is your life just too boring, so you came here specifically to be a head of state for fun?"

Tian Li glanced at her indifferently and then looked away.

“I’m not that bored.” He didn’t elaborate further: “You just need to remember to focus on doing your own thing.”

Nan Rong's eyes darted around, and a bizarre thought suddenly popped into her mind: "Could it be... that you can't go back?"

Tian Li did not answer. But for Nan Rong, this was tantamount to acquiescence.

Once you have the results, it's easy to trace back to the causes.

Most likely, it's because this person's higher-dimensional body is too powerful.

It's like trying to put a huge glass ball into a blown-up balloon. Putting it in is difficult enough, but taking it out is even harder: either the balloon bursts completely, or you have to blow the ball up even bigger.

The Great Demon King certainly didn't want to see the plane destroyed, so he could only choose the latter, which is to accelerate the evolution of the plane.

If that's the case, then many of the previous problems can be explained!

At this moment, Nan Rong almost wanted to laugh out loud.

How ridiculous! Such an ancient monster with unparalleled strength is stuck in a small dimension and can't go back!

More importantly, Nan Rong suddenly realized that perhaps someone's tolerance for her was even higher than she had imagined.

After all, she was a student he had painstakingly selected from thousands of trainees, a student on whom he placed high hopes!

She thought this happily, knowing full well that her thoughts couldn't be hidden from the Great Demon King.

The latter's eyebrows twitched slightly, and his gaze toward her held a more complex and unpredictable meaning.

Nan Rong could almost guess what he would say next.

You're just overthinking it. If you're gone, there are other people. In short, I can't just sit by and watch her be so smug.

But she waited quite a while before Tianli spoke, his voice calm but not quite what she had expected.
