Chapter 0667: Housemeet's End

The much anticipated Housemeet had ended rather unexpectedly.

With the Regent's appearance, everyone had felt that it would have been difficult for House Luolan to avoid a catastrophe. No one ever expected a miraculous reversal to occur.

House Luolan's two House Lords had used their natal flames to create projections of themselves.

Furthermore, the projections possessed the ability to even repel a fifth-grade Duke and force him to retreat miserably.

In terms of strength, this was considered to be the strongest within Xia City.

At this moment, everyone felt a sense of awe towards the couple who were still in the Nobles' Battlefield.

The two of them had not only survived within the dangerous grounds of the Nobles' Battlefield, but also seemed to have increased in strength! Otherwise, it wouldn't have made sense that they could have repelled the Regent. As a result, it was no longer an impossibility that they would return.

At that point, House Luolan would very likely be a force on par with the Golden Dragon Bank or the Astral Sage College!

Now that people knew that the duo were healthy and yet to perish, anyone who coveted House Luolan would have to think twice. If they truly returned, there would be hell to pay.

Thus, the heavily buffeted House Luolan had now regained a sense of strength and foundation.

Additionally, the battles within Xia City abated quietly.

Conversely, things were not silent within the respective factions.

……

Golden Dragon Bank, Discussion Hall.

There was silence within the discussion hall. All of the elders held heavy expressions as they watched the scene on the light mirror. Li Taixuan and Tan Tailan's projections had shocked them, and their hearts were left uneasy.

Yu Hongxi similarly had a complicated expression as she stared at the two familiar figures. Despite the passage of multiple years, the duo were still as elegant as before, their confidence and radiance unaffected by the Nobles' Battlefield, which brought dread to numerous Dukes.

Additionally, it seemed as though the battlefield was a baptism for them, further increasing their strength.

"Li Taixuan..." After which, she turned her attention to the youth below. His features were very much similar to Li Taixuan’s, but time had yet to take its toll on him. Li Taixuan had always been a calm and profound individual. Who knew how many maidens had been smitten by him when he arrived at the Xia Kingdom.

She was one of many.

However, this was a thing of the past. She was now a different Yu Hongxi, and those were memories of a past life.

"Is that House Lord Tan Tailan? She has impressive methods at her disposal! Even the Regent was sent scurrying in fear." Lu Qing'er suddenly piped up when she observed the graceful but mighty Tan Tailan. “Cough!” Yu Hongxi couldn't help but cough upon hearing those words, and she stared at her daughter in annoyance. How could that brat actually praise that woman in front of her? Did she not know that this was her mother's greatest enemy?

It was unknown how many times the two had clashed over the years.

In fact, it was in Tan Tailan's hands that the haughty Yu Hongxi first experienced the taste of defeat.

“That woman... is the worst!”

However, this was not the time for recollection. She swept her gaze over everyone in attendance before glancing at Vice President Ning Que, who had an unnatural expression on his face.

"House Luolan's situation has concluded. Everyone can see that Li Taixuan and Tan Tailan have not fallen within the Nobles' Battlefield. There is a high likelihood that they will return in the future, so I hope that none of you will attempt to target House Luolan in the dark. Otherwise, if we have to mediate when the duo show up in person, I will not protect any of you. At all," she indifferently declared.

Numerous high-level elders turned to face each other and nodded in agreement.

Yu Hongxi then stood up, her red dress revealing her elegant figure as she announced, "I hereby conclude this meeting."

Now that House Luolan's Housemeet had ended, there was no need to continue with this.

……

Royal palace.

The First Princess' gorgeous eyes stared at the crystal ball as she remained in a state of stupor. Half a moment later, she finally roused herself and focused upon Tan Tailan's figure, enviously saying to herself, "Only the peerless Misty Duke could raise such an exceptional lady like Jiang Qing'e."

After which, she could no longer hold back her joy. Her gentle laughter rang out, coupled with a blissful smile.

This time, she, Gong Luanyu, had turned out to be the biggest winner.

She had staked everything on supporting House Luolan and believed that Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e would accept her good intentions. In the future, they would draw closer in their relationship and become staunch allies. She had previously only been interested in their future potential, but with the descent of Li Taixuan and Tan Tailan's projections, she knew that House Luolan had regained their robust foundation.

It had announced to the world that the two House Lords had not fallen!

Whoever wanted to target House Luolan would have to reconsider the possibility of their vengeance in time to come.

Thus, House Luolan's internal affairs would stabilize.

A red shadow appeared behind the First Princess. Chief Steward Qin stepped out and respectfully said, "Your Highness, you have great foresight. You have greatly taken care of House Luolan's two seedlings."

She returned with a slight smile. "Thank you, Chief Steward Qin. Tonight must have been difficult for you."

"Governor Zhong didn't really want to fight either, so we simply confronted each other calmly." Chief Steward Qin grinned as he shook his head.

The First Princess nodded slightly and then stowed away the crystal ball, raised her head slightly, and stared at the bright moon in the sky.

Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e had finally overcome their predicament. In three days’ time, it would be her turn to face a similar trial.

Hopefully, she would be able to triumph as well and survive the situation that would determine the fate of the Xia Kingdom.

……

After the other parties retreated, the atmosphere within House Luolan's headquarters was boiling with anticipation that no one could calm down.

The two House Lords’ appearance had stimulated everyone.

Unfortunately, after Li Taixuan and Tan Tailan had chased away the Regent and his cronies, they did not leave the vicinity of the underground palace, only observing the crowd. "My old friends, it has been many years. It must have been tough on all of you. However, now is not the time to reminisce. You will have to await the day where the two of us return from the Nobles' Battlefield before we can properly express our thanks for protecting the house."

With that, Li Taixuan waved his palm, and the massive chasm created by the Regent began to seal up.

At the same time, Jiang Qing'e and Li Luo heard the voices of their parents as the underground palace was being covered up.

"Little Luo and Qing'e, come to the underground palace."

The two glanced at each other briefly before hurriedly rushing over, ignoring the chaos that enveloped the headquarters. Before the crack completely sealed up, they hopped in and entered the palace directly.
