The Broken Star Palace’s strict selection of candidates was to ensure that the best resources could be

  concentrated on people with great potential, so that they could maximize the eectiveness of their

  resources. After all, they did not have much time left.

  However, it was also because of this that many nobles were dissatised with the imperiousness of the

  Broken Star Palace. They never felt that their children were any less than civilians.

  At rst, they did not dare to say much because of Shen Yanxiao’s deterrence. However, after Shen Yanxiao

  had left the Radiance Continent for a long time, this group of mindless idiots began to make all sorts of

  vicious speculations as to whether Shen Yanxiao would have an accident or even die on her way to the

  other continents. With the passage of time, their fear of Shen Yanxiao had gradually decreased. Of course,

  they did not have the courage to run to the Barren Land to make trouble. Even if there were no Shen

  Yanxiao, the current Barren Land was not a place where they could be unbridled.

  Now that Shen Yanxiao was back, they were even more afraid to say a word of nonsense.

  The only thing they were grateful for now was that more than a year after Shen Yanxiao had left, they

  encouraged their king to keep his distance from the Barren Land several times, but the king of the Lan

  Yue Dynasty was very rm, not paying attention to their words at all. He still remained very respectful to

  the Barren Land.

  It was precisely this respect of the king of the Lan Yue Dynasty that had entirely kept the dynasty away

  from any crisis.

  “Let’s immediately get prepared. We’ll leave tomorrow for The Rising Sun City.” The king of the Lan Yue

  Dynasty did not say much.

  Without knowing the specics, the several ocials could only touch their noses and prepare for the trip.

  The wisdom of the Lan Yue Dynasty’s king did not bring any worry to the whole Lan Yue Dynasty, but

  there was a dierent scene in the Long Xuan Empire.

  The emperor of the Long Xuan Empire stared xedly at the letter in his hand as if he wanted to burn a

  hole in it with his eyes.

  Every ocial in the entire imperial hall bowed their heads and refused to look up. Such a big palace was

  enveloped in a depressing atmosphere.

  If the Lan Yue Dynasty’s king had decided to maintain the same attitude before and after Shen Yanxiao

  left the continent, then the Long Xuan Empire was just the opposite.

  As early as the year after Shen Yanxiao’s departure, the Long Xuan Empire almost cut o from the Barren

  Land completely. Although it occasionally sent people over, the qualication and quantity were greatly

  reduced.

  “Who told me that Shen Yanxiao would not come back after leaving the Radiance Continent?!! Who was it?

  Get out of here!!” The emperor angrily threw the letter out and stood up tremblingly.

  The various ocials bowed their heads even lower.

  The wall that the Lan Yue Dynasty had bumped into in the Broken Star Palace was also encountered by

  the Long Xuan Empire, but compared with the silence of the Lan Yue Dynasty, the reaction of the Long

  Xuan Empire was extremely strong.

  Not only did they send people to ask for an explanation, but they even almost started to make trouble in

  the Barren Land. The reason for this was that the rst batch of people sent into the Broken Star Palace by

  the Long Xuan Empire improved very fast, but only one of them chose to return to the empire, while the

  rest stayed in the Barren Land.

  Those grown-up talents did not return to the Long Xuan Empire, which made the emperor have great

  opinions. In addition, the noblemen sent after them were all thrown out because of insuci
