Buzz buzz buzz!

The aura inside the attic slowly dissipated, the matter was already discussed, and the emotions of Xi'er and the others were more or less under control, so Dragon Saint and the others retracted their aura.

Hmm?

When Dragon Saint and the others retracted their auras, the Pope looked somewhat surprised towards the attic door. Just now, the aura of Dragon Saint and others had isolated everything, and no one could detect the situation outside. But as soon as the aura was withdrawn, the Pope sensed two presences outside that didn't belong to the Holy Court.

"Your Holiness the Pope, Si Liya requests an audience!" a shout came from outside as the aura inside the attic vanished.

"It seems to be Princess Si Liya and Duke Pu Losi!" Fa Rang said in surprise.

Jiang Chen was slightly taken aback, glanced at the door, and then looked at the Pope.

"We are leaving now, Mr. Jiang, let's gather again when you return to the Flame Dragon Kingdom!" Dragon Saint said softly.

Jiang Chen nodded lightly.

Whizz!

Not wanting to draw Si Liya's attention, Dragon Saint and the others flashed and directly disappeared from the living room.

The living room was only left with Jiang Chen, Fa Rang, the Pope, Mi Jiaro, and Xi'er and others.

"Let them in," the Pope said softly.

Xi'er and a few others stepped towards the door; they needed to think things over, and incidentally call Si Liya and the others in.

"Pope senior, where are my friends?"

Jiang Chen asked softly, having not seen Spirit You and the others since he awoke.

The Pope replied softly, "Don't worry, Dragon Saint had them stay at Malro. He likely worried that a mess might occur, so he didn't let them stay in the Holy Court."

Jiang Chen knowingly nodded; at that time, Dragon Saint already doubted the Pope's identity, so making such arrangements was not surprising.

Click-clack-click-clack!

Footsteps rang out, and Pu Losi entered the living room with a beautiful, blonde, blue-eyed woman.

"Your Holiness the Pope, Judgment Chief Fa Rang, Saint Heir Mi Jiaro!"

The two greeted the three in the room, while Si Liya was curiously looking at Jiang Chen, who was on equal terms with the Pope.

"Mr. Jiang? You're here too!" Pu Losi said in surprise.

Jiang Chen smiled slightly, "I had some things to do, just finished."

"Please sit, both of you."

The Pope gestured for Pu Losi and Si Liya, but did not stand up; their status did not warrant the Pope standing to greet them.

Pu Losi and Si Liya nodded and sat on the sofa.

"Who is this..." Si Liya glanced at Jiang Chen and turned to Pu Losi.

"This is the Mr. Jiang Chen I mentioned to you," Pu Losi explained softly, evidently having spoken to Si Liya about Jiang Chen before.

After a brief introduction, Si Liya respectfully looked at the Pope, "Your Holiness the Pope, my grandmother is celebrating her birthday and would like to invite Judgment Chief Fa Rang and Saint Heir Mi Jiaro to attend. I hope Your Holiness will allow it!"

Si Liya did not invite the Pope; with her status, inviting the Pope in person would be disrespectful!

"Of course!"

The Pope nodded lightly, "You all chat, I will go rest first!"

With that, the Pope got up, greeted Jiang Chen privately, and then turned and left the room.

Everyone got up to see him off.

After the Pope left, everyone sat down again, and Si Liya couldn't help but scrutinize Jiang Chen, with a hint of doubt, "Why did His Holiness the Pope only greet you?"

Jiang Chen was slightly stunned, looking at Si Liya in surprise, noticing a bit of dissatisfaction in Si Liya's gaze.

"Whom the Pope senior chooses to greet is beyond my control!" Jiang Chen replied coolly.

Si Liya's expression hardened, and she said sternly, "When answering my questions, you need to address me as Her Highness the Princess, and you need to stand up to answer me, not sit there. Furthermore, you shouldn't be sitting in the main seat after His Holiness the Pope has left; the fact that he values you doesn't mean you have the right to sit in the main seat in front of me!"

Si Liya's string of accusations caused Pu Losi and the others to frown.

"Si Liya, Mr. Jiang is..." Pu Losi started softly.

"Uncle Pu Losi, regardless of his achievements in the Flame Dragon Kingdom or his high status in business, he should not disrespect me, a princess of Y Country!"

Si Liya interrupted Pu Losi, staring straight at Jiang Chen, "Mr. Jiang, you need to apologize to me and kneel down on one knee!"

"Who are you?" Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow, speaking indifferently.

"Me?"

Si Liya looked at Jiang Chen in surprise, "Didn't you hear just now? I am a princess of the Y Country Royal Family!"

"Oh!" Jiang Chen said casually, "You're a princess of the Y Country Royal Family, but what does that have to do with me? I'm not from Y Country."

Si Liya's expression changed and she shouted angrily, "What do you mean by that? Are you implying that people from the Flame Dragon Kingdom shouldn't respect me, a princess of Y Country?"

"I don't know about others, but I..."

Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow, "Only respect those who deserve my respect. You were humble at first, but as soon as the Pope left, you displayed a noble demeanor and judged others by your own standards. Who do you think you are? What gives you the right to judge where I should sit?"

"You... You're disrespectful to me, someone like you should be thrown into prison by a knight in my Y Country!" Si Liya shouted angrily, clearly exasperated.

She was a princess of Y Country, and the youngest one at that, only eighteen years old this year, raised in luxury and spoiled by everyone, which fostered an arrogant and self-centered personality. Otherwise, she wouldn't be so domineering in front of Fa Rang and Mi Jiaro.

"This is not Y Country. Also, in this world, everyone is equal. I don't believe being part of the Y Country Royal Family makes you inherently noble." Jiang Chen said coldly.

"You..."

Si Liya's face turned red with anger, and she turned to Pu Losi, "Uncle Pu Losi, arrest him. I want to send him to the execution ground!"

"Si Liya, stop fooling around!" Pu Losi said sternly, then looked at Jiang Chen with an apologetic expression, "Mr. Jiang, I'm truly sorry. Si Liya has been spoiled since childhood by us."

"Uncle Pu Losi, why are you apologizing to him? No matter how capable he is, he is just a commoner!" Si Liya frowned at Pu Losi.

"Classism is dangerous!"

Jiang Chen smirked, stood up, and said, "Mr. Pu Losi, Mr. Fa Rang, since the matter here is over, I'll be departing now. Mi Jiaro, gather your things; we'll be leaving shortly!"

With that, Jiang Chen turned and walked upstairs, as Dragon Saint had brought his belongings to the room earlier.

"Lord Mi Jiaro will be attending my grandmother's birthday banquet with me; how dare you think you can leave with Lord Mi Jiaro? Do you deserve it?" Si Liya shouted loudly.

Mi Jiaro looked at Si Liya puzzled, "Why should I attend your grandmother's birthday banquet with you?"
