Not long after, Jiya left.
She didn't say a word from the beginning to the end.
Yang Dingtian got up from the ground and tried to pick up his clothes, only to find that they were torn to shreds.
About two hours later, Jiya came in again. She seemed to have taken a bath as her body was filled with the fragrance of flower petals.
Two maids followed behind her, carrying a steaming bathtub.
"Jiya, help you bathe."
Since everything had happened, Yang Dingtian didn't argue anymore. He sat in the bathtub and let Jiya help him bathe.
He just lay in the hot water and closed his eyes, thinking about the situation in front of him.
Even though she was from the Speechless Tribe, Yao Qi still wanted to rope in Yang Dingtian. Even if it was just a facade, it still had a high political value.
Yao Qi's goal was very straightforward. She wanted to marry Jiya to Jiang Shang from the Speechless Tribe and completely use him.
Of course, because they had different ideals and paths, she wouldn't take Yang Dingtian's suggestion.
For a very long time, she was just a facade that he had kept for himself.
Now, Yang Dingtian had to face the problem of whether to agree or not.
If he agreed, it would go against the personality of the Speechless Tribe.
But if he didn't, Yao Qi would definitely kill him.
Most importantly, Yang Dingtian wanted to see Yao Rao and her son.
Plus, it might be more convenient to hunt for the Void-cracking Fire by Yao Qi's side.
*****
"The Speechless Tribe's body is really strange," Jiya suddenly said.
Yang Dingtian looked down. It was indeed strange. First of all, compared to humans, his body seemed to be longer and flatter.
Plus, there were natural patterns on his body. Some of the patterns even glowed. They were especially eye-catching in the dim light.
Yang Dingtian looked at the patterns carefully and realized that they were mysterious. They were like special runes filled with special magic.
The Speechless Tribe's body also looked like a human, but it seemed to be more seductive.
Like the Speechless Tribe's face, it was between beautiful and seductive.
"Sir, what do you plan to do next?" Jiya asked.
Yang Dingtian shook his head slightly and said, "What do you want to do?"
Jiya said, "If you reject Chairman Yao Qi, you will be killed.
However, I can still marry Yao Qi. "
Yang Dingtian: "This is what you've been dreaming of, right?"
"Yes."
Jiya said, "But if you could serve Her Excellency Yao Qi, that would be the result I want as well. That is why I'm in a dilemma right now."
Yang Dingtian did not answer.
Jiya asked, "Mr. Jiang Shang, will you refuse?"
Yang Dingtian still did not answer.
After the bath, Jiya helped Yang Dingtian put on his clothes and said, "Please come with me. Her Excellency Yao Qi is waiting for you."
Afterward, Jiya brought Yang Dingtian to the main hall. It was the main hall where she met Yang Dingtian for the first time. The walls were filled with dozens of portraits.
*****
When Yang Dingtian entered, Yao Qi was standing under his portrait.
"The Chairman can only serve one term, or at most two. However, the chief of the nine tribes can serve for life and the position is hereditary," Yao Qi suddenly said, "That is why many people say that Little Western Paradise is actually the Little Western Paradise of the nine tribes.
The Chairman is just a title. It's useless. "
Yang Dingtian did not answer.
"Among the nine tribes, four of them are against me. Two of them see me as their enemy," Yao Qi said, "His Excellency Jiang Shang, what do you think I should do?"
Yang Dingtian remained silent.
"Sometimes, a rebellion is a good thing, right?"
Yao Qi said, "The Little Western Paradise has been peaceful for too long. Martial Arts has become the last trend, and the so-called art has become the mainstream.
Countless people are trying to please the crowd. Countless people are being pretentious! "
Then, Yao Qi turned around and said, "Mr. Jiang Shang, would you like to return to Silver Dragon Sky City with me?"
Yang Dingtian nodded and said, "Sure."
Jiang Shang was stunned. Suspicion flashed in his eyes. He said, "Isn't it too easy for you to agree? I thought you would rather sacrifice your life than submit to force?"
Some people were just like that. They were naturally suspicious.
Yang Dingtian did not answer him!
Facing such a person, no answer would be able to dispel his suspicions. Moreover, he would not kill someone just because he was suspicious.
*****
Just like that, under the reluctance of countless nobles in Shadow Spear City, Jiang Shang, the Wise of the Speechless Tribe accepted Yao Qi's invitation to visit Silver Dragon Sky City. Jiya went with him as his disciple.
On that day, hundreds of thousands of Shadow Spear City's nobles sent him off.
After riding on the flying carriage for three days and three nights, they finally arrived at Silver Dragon Sky City, which was more than ten thousand miles away.
This speed was not considered fast.
Yang Dingtian realized that Little Western Paradise did not have a strict requirement for speed. Perhaps it was because they had too much time, so they did not feel any urgency about speed.
After arriving at Silver Dragon Sky City, Yang Dingtian finally understood what a real city in the sky was.
Originally, Shadow Spear City had already given him an incomparably huge impact.
However, compared to Silver Dragon Sky City, it paled in comparison.
Shadow Spear City was just gorgeous. It was also filled with fantasy colors.
However, Silver Dragon Sky City was filled with the colors of science fiction.
It was really a city floating in the sky. There were countless huge houses. Although they were still filled with an artistic atmosphere, their height was no less than the skyscrapers on Earth.
They were obviously ancient houses made of stone, but they were almost as tall as modern skyscrapers.
Rows upon rows of buildings and gorgeous halls merged perfectly, forming the style of Silver Dragon Sky City that was both dreamy and majestic.
This city already had the colors of a huge metropolis.
As far as the eye could see, it was almost endless.
Even Zhongjing was only a fraction of the size of Silver Dragon Sky City.
Silver Dragon Sky City was considered the capital of the entire Little Western Paradise.
It did not belong to any of the nine tribes. It was the city that truly belonged to the speaker.
Every term of the speaker was officially in charge of this city. That was why he had such great power and could suppress the nine tribes.
However, the speaker was elected. Therefore, every master of Silver Dragon Sky City could only rule for a hundred years at most, two hundred years at most.
In the huge floating square, Yang Dingtian, the Silent Tribe, received an unprecedented grand welcome.
There were hundreds of thousands of Fox Tribe nobles who came to the square to welcome them.
The Qilin Cavalry of the Silver Dragon Guards came out in full force for the first time. They lined up in the square to welcome the arrival of Speaker Yao Qi and Jiang Shang of the Silent Tribe.
The Qilin Cavalry only had less than a thousand people. Because the Qilin Beast mounts were extremely rare.
That's right. It was really a Qilin Beast. Although it was a little different from the Qilin in the legends on Earth.
However, it seemed more majestic than the Qilin depicted on Earth.
Every Qilin Warrior was a disciple selected from the nobles of the Fox Tribe. They had the highest talent, the best looks, and the noblest bloodline.
Therefore, the Qilin Cavalry should be the most powerful army in Little Western Paradise.
However, they never fought. Instead, they existed as a guard of honor. They were seen as the noblest army in Little Western Paradise.
When Speaker Yao Qi and Jiang Shang of the Silent Tribe walked out of the carriage, the entire square was in an uproar.
All the nobles of the Fox Tribe in Little Western Paradise knew about the existence of the Silent Tribe. Everyone knew that the Silent Tribe had the noblest Silver Dragon bloodline.
However, almost no one had seen the real Silent Tribe.
Because they were too reclusive. They were like Immortals who avoided the world. They never stepped into the secular world.
However, the more they were like that, the more the nobles of the Fox Tribe worshipped them.
Now, it was the first time the nobles of Silver Dragon Sky City had seen the real Silent Tribe.
As expected, they were as noble and elegant as the legends said. They were filled with unparalleled wisdom.
Yao Qi and Jiang Shang of the Silent Tribe walked side by side on the long carpet.
Countless nobles cheered along the way.
An orchestra with thousands of people played majestic and luxurious music.
Speaker Yao Qi accompanied Jiang Shang of the Silent Tribe to inspect the noblest Qilin Cavalry in Little Western Paradise.
The entire carpet was almost one thousand meters long.
Because of Jiang Shang from the Speechless Clan, the 1,000-meter-long carpet gave Speaker Yao Qi a huge political reputation.
Yang Dingtian thought that Yao Qi would give a public speech. Not only her, but also him.
However, she didn't. After walking down the red carpet, Yao Qi just waved at the countless nobles. Then, the two of them boarded the open golden carriage and went to the heart of Little Western Paradise, the Silver Palace.
*****
The Silver Palace!
It was the political core of Little Western Paradise. It was where every speaker worked and lived.
It was like the White House in America, the Kremlin in Russia, and the Buckingham Palace in England.
However, the size of the Silver Palace should be at least ten times larger than the three palaces combined.
It was as majestic as a mountain. It was a huge square that stretched as far as the eye could see.
Yang Dingtian didn't know how many years it took the Fox Tribe to build the Silver Palace.
He even felt a sense of absurdity.
No matter how tall the Fox Tribe was, they couldn't be more than two meters tall.
However, the main hall of the Silver Palace was dozens of meters tall.
Anyone who entered the palace, including the Fox Tribe, would feel extremely small.
Then, Yang Dingtian understood.
These palaces weren't man-made. They were built for the God of Little Western Paradise, the totem of Little Western Paradise, the Fallen Silver Dragon.
Because in the entire Silver Palace, whether it was the square or the main hall.
The statues of the Fallen Silver Dragon were everywhere.
Some were dozens of meters tall, while others were hundreds of meters tall.
Perhaps they didn't want the Fallen Silver Dragon to feel cramped. That was why the main hall was so huge and majestic.
*****
After entering the Silver Palace, Yang Dingtian was immediately protected. Or rather, he was put under house arrest.
He stayed in one of the palaces by himself. In the five-story palace, there were over a hundred beautiful maids, a few hundred formidable warriors, and a few hundred servants of all kinds. They were all serving Yang Dingtian alone.
For a few hours, Yang Dingtian stayed in the palace. No one could talk to him or communicate with him.
This was because Yao Qi had ordered that anyone who talked to Jiang Shang would be killed.
Jiang Shang didn't appear. Jiya didn't appear either.
Yang Dingtian had followed Yao Qi to Silver Dragon Sky City. He wanted to see Yao Rao and her son as soon as possible.
However, things weren't that simple.
This group of palaces was much bigger than Yang Dingtian had imagined. It was also much more heavily guarded.
Yang Dingtian didn't even know if Yao Rao and her son were in the palace.
Although he desperately wanted to see Yao Rao and her son.
He couldn't act rashly. This place was far more dangerous than he had imagined.
But what he didn't expect was that Yao Qi would use every possible method to pull Yang Dingtian to her side and bring him to Silver Dragon Sky City even if she had to sacrifice her fiancée.
After he succeeded, he put Yang Dingtian under house arrest in the palace. He didn't ask about Yang Dingtian at all for a few days. It was as if he had completely forgotten about the Silent Tribe.
He didn't want Yang Dingtian to be worshipped by all the nobles like Jiya.
He didn't hold any banquets. Apart from the appearance at the square, he didn't let Yang Dingtian appear in public again.
…
"Mr. President?
You've paid such a huge price to get Jiang Shang. Why don't you use him? "Jiya asked.
"What do I use him for?"
Yao Qi used a quill pen to deal with official business quickly. "Do I use him to buy people's hearts? Do I use him to build up my political reputation?
Isn't that too much of a waste? "
"Then what do you want him to do?" Jiya asked.
Yao Qi said, "I invited him to the Silver Palace. He agreed too easily. That's not normal.
I want to immerse myself for a while and let some truth surface. Then, I'll think of a way to make him useful again. "
Jiya said, "But now, the nobles are very enthusiastic about meeting Mr. Jiang Shang.
In the past few days, your support rate has been increasing rapidly.
I think it's not a good idea to keep him under house arrest.
There's a need to hold a huge banquet for him. "
"Yes, we'll talk about it again." Yao Qi said, "Oh right, is your sister still not cooperating?"
"Yes, not cooperating at all."
Jiya said, "She doesn't want to be your wife. Once she shows up, she'll tell the truth that you took her by force."
"Arrange for her to meet Jiang Shang. Then, observe him secretly." Yao Qi said.
"Are you suspecting something?" Jiya asked.
"Nothing. Just observing." Yao Qi said, "Go!"
"Yes!" Jiya said. Then, she turned around and left. She went to the palace where Yang Dingtian (Jiang Shang) was.
After Jiya left, Yao Qi's confidant came forward and said, "Mr. President, Wu Yu sent an envoy to the Sea of Spirits. The human, Dongli, came with him."
"Dongli?" Yao Qi said, "The Dongli who told us about Yao Rao's secret of giving birth?"
"Yes, that Dongli. The Dongli who wants to cooperate with us." The confidant said.
Yao Qi said, "Invite them in!"
"Yes!"
Instantly, Wu Yu's envoy and Dongli from the Sea of Spirits entered the Fallen Hall of the Silver Palace to meet Yao Qi.
At the same time, Jiya came to Yang Dingtian and said, "Let's go. I'll bring you to meet someone."
