Chapter 466: This Is The Best I Can Do For You

Three kilometers east of the Monsoon Villa, next to the Tangshan Convention Memorial Hall.

A ring-shaped building complex rose up from the ground at the foot of the mountain.

This was the World Expo of the Federal Empire of Xia.

It was also the venue of the meeting today.

Li An’an drove her car to the parking lot.

At the entrance of the World Expo, there were more than a dozen groups holding various flags. They were either petitioning or protesting.

“Here we go again!” Li An’an sighed and shook her head.

She planned to bypass these petitioning groups and enter through the back door of the exhibition center.

Because these people were very troublesome!

Whenever these people seized an opportunity, they would interrogate the officials of Federal Empire Of Xia.

However, after Li An’an took two steps, she came back to her senses and smiled. “I’m dressed in plain clothes now!”

“Why am I afraid of these people?”

She was now ‘Ling Ping’an’.

She represented her little nephew to come here to look at and appreciate the beauties, and at the same time, see if she could find a few beauties for her nephew.

Then, she walked straight to the main door.

On both sides of the road, the flags of the petitioning groups were flying.

‘The World Harmony Committee’

Hmm…

This was a group supported by the Xinluo people. Their main request was for Xinluo to be incorporated into the Federal Empire Of Xia and become an independent Kingdom of the Federal Empire.

Of course, they would not only help Xinluo to appeal.

Or rather, they would not only accept the money of the Xinluo people.

Fusang, Siam, Cochin, Lanfang…

You had the say when you paid!

‘World Security Council’.

Well…

This was also a troublemaker!

They focused on asking Wang Shi, which was the Empire’s Army, Navy and Air Force, to take on the responsibility of providing complete protection for the entire world.

At the same time, they would involve themselves in all kinds of issues.

Also…

‘Nanyang-Federal Empire Of Xia Union’.

This was an organization that focused on activities in the imperial capital and specifically asked the Empire to pass laws to confirm that the Federal Empire had special obligations to the Nanyang countries.

These special obligations included, but were not limited to financial aid, relief and security.

Of course…

The oldest troublemaker, the inventor of the wealth password, and the most troublesome organization for the Federal Empire.

The Universal Committee would never be absent.

On one side, under the banner of ‘The world is the king’s land and there is king’s subject in the land’, hundreds of petitioners with red cloths on their heads shouted in unison, “One book, one track, one world! This is the duty of the Lord and the wish of the world!”

“The world is the world of the people, not the world of one country!”

“May the Emperor be honoured and enjoy the tribute of all kings!”

By listening to them, one would know that this organization was focused on reviving the tributes system.

It requested the Emperor of the Federal Empire to annex all the countries in the world and become the ruler of the world and the monarch of all the countries.

The reason…

Since ancient times… did it count?

In any case, this organisation was active since Taizu smashed the tributes system and Taizong completely denied the Federal Empire would continue to accept the tributes from the world.

As the oldest civil society organization, the Universal Committee had tens of millions of members in the world.

These members were all over the world and in every aspect of life.

Every year, donations and contributions from members from all over the world alone amount to 20 billion Chinese dollars!

This was truly making dirty money.

Under the influence of this organization, other messy organizations had come on stage in the past three hundred years.

It was a glorious scene.

The ample donations and funds allowed these organizations to have a huge influence both within and beyond the imperial capital.

Regardless of whether it was the Gonghe Party or the Datong Party, there would be people who agreed with some of their views.

Every time the national congress was held, these organizations would go in and stir up trouble.

Of course, they themselves said that they were ‘lobbying’ and ‘supervising’.

But in the eyes of the officials, this was stirring trouble!

However, there was nothing they could do about it.

This was because the Supreme Court could not support the Central Federal Government’s decisions and policies to restrict these organizations.

And it was precisely because they knew that the Supreme Court would support them.

Therefore, these people would appear and stir up trouble at various important occasions in the Federal Empire every year.

Under the banner of petition, they helped foreign countries interfere in their country’s internal and foreign affairs.

They even put it in a fancy way, and said, “Everything in the world can be discussed by everyone!”

Li An’an had encountered several groups of ‘lobbyists’ at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Under the banner of ‘public discussion in the world’, they took the opportunity to stuff private goods in an attempt to influence her judgment and inclination.

However, due to the rules and regulations, she couldn’t pretend not to see it!

It was very annoying!

Fortunately, she was now dressed in plain clothes.

Therefore, she straightened her chest and passed through these groups of petitioners.

She held the invitation card and swiped it at the entrance.

Then, she entered the entrance of the convention center.

When she reached the door, Li An’an shook her head and said, “These people are really…” She looked at the group of petitioners outside.

Colorful flags fluttered in the wind, and all kinds of bad characters in the society appeared.

She sighed. “These people are too bored!”

However, she couldn’t do anything about these people.

Because they were paid to do things.

Furthermore, who knew if there was an transcendent family behind them?

It was all about coercion of the public opinion.

“Excuse me…” Beside her, there was a man with a cigarette in his mouth. He said with a smile, “They aren’t idle!”

“They get paid!”

“I heard that nowadays, the various organizations offer a platform price of three hundred a day as long as they raise a sign. And it’s paid in cash…”

Of course, Li An’an knew about this.

How could the Blackguard not pay attention to these organizations?

In essence, these organizations were all making dirty money.

A few retired officials or retired ministers and members of Parliament could easily call for the establishment of such an organization.

Then, they would bring everyone along to make dirty money and even leave a stable and well paid job for their descendants.

In any case, even a fool knew that the Federal Empire wouldn’t accept a new independent kingdom.

That was because the three independent kingdoms would never agree to it!

They would rather pay more taxes than have another poor kingdom shared it with them.

If possible, they were even willing to chip in and have the Xiangshan, Ryukyu, and Donglai autonomous regions sign agreements to voluntarily give up their special status of the Federal Empire.

This would prevent them from having to subsidize and help build these regions every year.

“What I’m saying is those foreign countries…”

“They’re really too free. They’re taking money and burning it as paper!” Li An’an said snappily.

That person chuckled. “They’re not stupid!”

“Tens of billions of donations every year can be exchanged for lasting security and stability!”

“At the same time, this is also a pledge of allegiance!”

“Then, they’ll take a large amount of relief funds and aid from the Central Federal Government…”

“The Central Federal Government is naturally happy to see such a situation…”

“Without touching the constitution or shaking the country’s foundation, we’ll maintain the current world order…”

“Only 200 billion a year… that’s a great deal!”

200 billion was the Federal Empire’s budget for foreign aid and relief last year.

However, Li An’an looked at this person with disdain.

‘He thinks he’s so smart…’ She thought to herself.

She instantly put this person into the list of people that she disliked the most. There were always some guys who liked to show off in front of her, like a peacock flailing its tail.

Unfortunately…

She hated such people the most.

Their motives were too strong and they were too materialistic!

However…

“I’m little Ping’an now…” Li An’an remembered.

Therefore, she looked at that person and revealed a smile. “I’m Ling Ping’an of Jiangcheng City…”

“And you are?”

That person smiled and said, “A mere native of the imperial capital, Lu Qing!”

When Li An’an heard this, she nodded in her heart. “No wonder you’re so talkative.”

The people of the Imperial Capital had all sorts of problems.

Among them, the biggest problem was that they liked to show off and boast in front of outsiders.

During the Cabinet meeting, when the first minister and the second minister bickered once, the whole city knew about it the next day. On the third day, the whole world knew about it.

So, the current cabinet executive meeting was very harmonious.

If they wanted to quarrel and curse, they would specially get a small room, and then shut the door to scold one another.

But even so, it would often leak out.

Lu Qing looked mysteriously at Ling Ping’an, who was played by Li An’an, and whispered, “Are you also here to see a beauty?”

Li An’an’s vigor was immediately roused when she heard that. She nodded vigorously. “That’s right!”

“I heard that all the beauties in the world will gather here today!”

“I wonder if you’ve any insider news?”

Lu Qing chuckled. With the cigarette in his mouth, he suddenly took a puff and blew out a smoke ring.

“It’s good that you know…”

“At this social gathering, all the beauties in the world are present, and they are gathered…”

“I heard that the Princess from Land of Qin will also appear at today’s meeting.”

“Princess?” Li An’an was somewhat interested.

There were many princesses from Land of Qin, so they were not worth much.

Also, these small countries were not even as big as a street in the Imperial Capital!

However, they were still princesses!

Lu Qing nodded and said, “I heard that quite a few of them came!”

“Something like the Princess of Athens, the Eldest Princess of Rosia and so on…”

He looked at the Ling Ping’an that Li An’an was pretending to be and asked, “Are you interested?”

Li An’an thought for a moment. It might not be a bad idea to have a Princess for little Ping’an.

Hence, she nodded.

Lu Qing pointed with his finger. “Do you see that?”

“Over there is the venue specially set up by the Land of Qin, for the various countries to meet-and-greet their candidates.”

“I heard that as long as you apply, you will have the opportunity to meet a certain Princess!”

He smiled and encouraged, “You can go and try!”

Li An’an was quite keen, so she cupped her hands before her chest and said, “Thank you!”

Then, she swaggered in the direction that Lu Qing pointed out.

Lu Qing looked at the young man he met with a smile.

Ling Ping’an from Jiangcheng City.

He was dressed decently!

There should be a transcendent being in his family working in the Imperial City.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to buy that set of clothes.

Except that…

He looked too ordinary, completely on the level of a passerby.

How could he attract those princesses?

Besides…

Lu Qing frowned.

“Those princesses are here for that Young Master X!”

As far as he knew, only four princesses had arrived yesterday.

But this morning, more than ten princesses from Land of Qin suddenly appeared!

The Eldest Princess of Rosia was even seen by reporters appearing in the Imperial Palace.

What was the reason?

Everyone knew!

Wasn’t it because of what happened at the Cross Slope last night?

Yan Sheng sect was wiped out.

The ghost guards at the Cross Slope even obtained the authority of the Magistrate of the Underworld.

Hades was about to be established!

And it was very likely that it would be directly under the Blackguard.

From then on, the Federal Empire would not only care about the living.

It would care about the dead too!

This was too frightening!

Although Lu Qing was not a transcendent being, he felt a chill down his spine when he heard his family members discussing this.

In the past, the Blackguard, who was in charge of the sky and the air, was already annoying enough.

Now, even the ghosts had to listen to them.

Otherwise, there would be all kinds of punishments waiting for them.

How could they continue to play this game?

However..

There was no other way!

So far, only the Blackguard could come into contact with that almight Young Master X.

The elusive Young Master X.

It was like a vortex that sucked everyone in.

Now..

Many people said that they were at a critical juncture of life and death.

If they were unable to come into contact with that person like the Blackguard…

Then, if this continued, the Blackguard would probably extend his hands onto the divine path.

If the Blackguard was able to successfully create a god…

What was there to play with!

The Federal Empire would no longer have a place for transcendent being families!

Perhaps, the Blackguard would levy transcendent being taxes on transcendents.

Unfortunately, no one would be able to come into contact with that Young Master X under normal circumstances.

The Monsoon Villa and the Imperial Capital only had his legends.

…

Zhang Hui looked at the figure that appeared in the surveillance.

He frowned.

“Why is he here?”

Zhang Hui was sure that he was the person from the exhibition center.

It was that person, and the identity of the person who swiped the card was also that person.

But the problem was…

He turned his head to look at the monitor of Yan Lou.

That person had been in his room the whole time and didn’t go out at all.

“Could it be…”

“His clone has come here?”

Zhang Hui felt that it was a little unbelievable.

At this moment, an even more unbelievable scene appeared on the surveillance camera.

The elevator opened, and a Xinluo lady in white dress, respectfully arrived at the door. She rang the doorbell.

A moment later, the back door opened.

That person dressed in a simple casual outfit appeared in the scene with drowsy eyes.

Zhang Hui turned his head and looked at the convention center.

Ling Ping’an, who was dressed in formal clothes and had his chest straightened, was walking to the side of the exhibition center with his head held high. He was about to take the sightseeing elevator.

“Who is this?” He thought.

Considering that the person was omniscient and omnipotent.

Therefore, Zhang Hui ruled out the possibility that someone was impersonating him.

Therefore, there was only one answer.

“Is it really a clone?”

Thinking about this, Zhang Hui pressed a button.

A video popped up on the screen.

Song Shihui appeared in the video.

“Bro…”

“That clone might have gone to the Convention Center!”

When Song Shihui heard this, he blinked his eyes. “I understand! Thank you, bro!”

After ending the call, Song Shihui immediately sent a voice message to his disciple.

The diva of the music industry of the Federal Empire of Xia.

Lu Fei’er, who was known as the ‘unparalleled singer of the Empire’.

“Fei’er… this is the best I can do for you as a teacher!” After sending the voice message, Song Shihui let out a long sigh.

The Federal Empire needed that person.

Therefore, the best way was to send someone to his side.

Even if it was just to serve him and clean the house.

…

Li Rou’an raised his wine glass and looked at the two guests beside him.

The Eldest Princess from Rosia, Princess Alexei, who was also known as the ‘Contemporary Cathrine’.

Of course, she was the former princess.

Because the Rosia Empire had already fallen.

The Decembrists Controlled Rosia and established a Republic.

Beside Princess Alexei was Princess Dora from Athens.

Dora was a Latin word for ‘gift from God’.

After the recovery of the spirit aura, the appearance of God made people not dare to pick a name that was closely related to God.

Therefore, Dora was the goddess!

There was a legend that she was the mortal body of Athena, the guardian goddess of Athens.

When necessary, she could recover the divine power from Athena.

Therefore, this princess had never stepped out of the Temple of Athens.

This was the first time she had stepped out of the temple.

However, no matter what their backgrounds were, in front of the Federal Empire, they had to look up to them.

Therefore, Li Rou’an smiled and said to the two princesses, “The meeting is about to begin.”

“Your Highness, do you really want to go?”

Alexei and Dora nodded their heads resolutely.

The time for this fellowship was very tight.

It would start tomorrow and end in four days.

Including today, it would only last for five days.

Within five days, they had to think of a way to come into contact with that incomparably mysterious existence.

And they had to do so at all costs!

Because this was the best chance!

It could even be said to be the last chance!

Otherwise, should they go to Jiangcheng city to look for that person?

How could they find a needle in a haystack?

If they couldn’t see him this time, they wouldn’t be able to see him in the future!

They could only give it their all!
