Chapter 73

The faces of everyone in the audience changed when they heard Xiao Yu’s words In fact, they naturally were aware of Xiao Yu’s arrival even before they entered the city Housekeeper Mo had sent aTian Hu of Xiao Yu’s arrival But no one gave face to a noble from family which was on a decline

Otherwise, wang Tian Hu wouldn’t act so He would have ates of the city if Xiao family was in its heyday

Nevertheless, a Duke was a Duke The family could be on decline but title was there If a noble froher aristocracy then he had to follow the rules and greet that noble according to the rules It wasn’t the rule of Sky Lion Dynasty but a rule that had existed for thousands of years The society was built on hierarchy and the ones on the lower parts of the pyramid had to show respect to the ones on top

There were some places where they looked at contempt to the titles bestowed by the ee the declining higher aristocrats However, if those lower tier nobles dared to act presuainst the Sky Lion Dynasty

Actually, the people in hall were discussing a territory that was annexed few hundred miles away from here It was result of the lord of the territory not respecting and giving tribute to the Sky Lion Dynasty In fact, most of them didn’t send tributes However, it was an excuse for others eyeing the territory to attack it wang family didn’t have enemies or opponents in here However, others ere interested in their territory could wang Tian Hu’s act as a righteous excuse to back up Xiao Yu and attack him

They were living in sensitive times Most defied the Sky Lion Dynasty but they couldn’t voice out their opinions in large

It was like the Spring and Autumn Period of the Chinese history The vassals didn’t coive face to the orders of the emperor They didn’t pay tributes or taxes However, no one dared to directly go against the edodoun

No one in the hall cared about Xiao Yu as they thought that he was prodigal son who did nothing but eat, drink and involve in debauchery

It could be blamed on Housekeeper Mo as he didn’t report the situation At first, he had sent athat the situation in Lion toas bad Moreover, on the way he didn’t send full report as he had lost the h aTian Hu the first thing when they returned back to the wang ue and enter the mansion by force

Moreover, Xiao Yu had ordered Grorunts to wear cloaks so that not to cause extra attention He wasn’t afraid of trouble but didn’t want extra publicity The orcs and elves were too rare in this world Moreover, Tyrande’s appearance was out of this world

As a result, when Grom and Tyrande entered the hall with Xiao Yu, other nobles thought that they were ordinary guards They wouldn’t be so arrogant if they knew that Xiao Yu had an orc and elf bodyguards

Xiao Yu had a dragon with hirown out yet So h-level deon

Nevertheless, the title of Duke was a hereditary title Xiao Yu had inherited Xiao Zhan Tian’s title as the Grand Duke of the Sky Lion Dynasty

wang Tian Hu was only a count His level wasTian Hu was Xiao Yu’s elder in terms of relationshi+p but because of Xiao Yu’s title he had to salute Xiao Yu

Xiao Yu naturally didn’t have to give respect to wang Tian Hu when the other didn’t do it

All the rules and laws of Sky Lion Dynasty were protecting Xiao Yu on surface up to now

Moreover, Xiao Yu dared to say that he could relieve Earl Yun from his status It meant that the nobles that were stuck to the orthodox faction would speak out for Xiao Yu At worst case, Earl Yun would receive a punishment

All the people present were struck by lightning All of the Tian Hu, Hue, the third-rank ician and everyone else did so They wouldn’t be afraid if the threat was said by any duke However, they knew that Xiao Yu was different He was a Grand Duke and his father Xiao Zhan Tian had saved empire Emperor of the dynasty may not remember or care about other dukes but Xiao Yu was still someone ould be taken care of

They could quietly kill Xiao Yu and no one would check about the situation It was the way Carrie acted However, going against a Grand Duke on surfacedisrespectful towards the e crime

“Nephew Yu, uncle didn’t coreet you as I wasn’t aware of your arrival! It was Housekeeper Mo’s fault that he didn’t infor Tian Hu se the atmosphere

wang Tian Hu was a natural politician as he was able to rule his flourishi+ng territory for many years

Xiao Yu waved his hand as he sreet ates of the city My words weren’t meant for you”

Xiao Yu was cussing out in his heart: “Didn’t you know? You fucking bastard! I didn’t want to use ht you manners! If I didn’t put you in your place then you would think that you are some kind of important shi+t!”

Xiao Yu looked at thethese imbeciles”

TheTian Hu was standing still in Xiao Yu’s presence

Xiao Yu took a sip of tea and looked at everyone: ”Sit down Why are you all standing up? I’m just a junior…”

Xiao Yu looked like a hooligan to them who misused his title

Xiao Yu looked at wang Tian Hu after everyone sat down: “Uncle wang, there is aoutside Can you call her for a cup of tea?”

wang Tian Hu was surprised for a moment However, he understood the words behind Xiao Yu’s words when he rehtened for a mooing to be a difficult feat

Xiao Yu’s words ”there is aTian Hu that Sias part of Xiao fa family anymore
