Chapter 1023

The meeting for the four worlds was approaching. In that interval, Tang Shaoyang sent Li Shuang and her people to manage their territory in the starter city. The empire needed someone to design the territory and where to put the residential building, market, and the future building too. At the same time, Wei Xi and the others would choose the people to enter the dimensional tower for the eleventh floor.         

"Do I have to wear this?" Tang Shaoyang looked in the mirror. White shirt and deep blue vest inside, deep blue suit outside, and deep blue long pants. Kang Xue was on the side, putting on the black bow tie, which he did not like. "Can I wear the normal tie instead? I don\'t like this tie."     

"Yes, you have to wear this because this is an official meeting. You are the emperor, so you can\'t look shabby, and yes, we can change it to a normal tie if you don\'t like this one." Kang Xue nodded and got a new tie for Tang Shaoyang.     

"You look very good in this attire. I don\'t understand why you don\'t like it." She nodded while admiring Tang Shaoyang in the mirror. She felt like he was twice as handsome when he dressed up like this.     

"The attire is stuffy for me. I feel like my movement is restricted, just uncomfortable." Tang Shaoyang had a frown on his forehead as he stared at the mirror. Sure he looked good, but he did not really care about looks. Clothes meant to be comfortable to wear, and this one was not comfortable to wear at all.     

"That\'s why this is called business attire. It will give a good impression to the people you speak to, and people will respect you more if you dress up well." Kang Xue shook her head as she found it funny to hear the disgruntled Tang Shaoyang. She took the long coat, a long black coat with the Tang Empire symbol on the back.     

"Your favorite coat, Your Majesty." She joked while putting the coat on Tang Shaoyang. It was a plain long black coat with a gold line at the edge. The symbol was two dragons, which formed a circle with the wings flapped open and a sword facing down in the middle of the two dragons. The symbol itself was golden-red.     

With the last piece of attire, Tang Shaoyang was ready to depart to the starter city. Kang Xue accompanied him to the portal that led to the Dimensional tower. Aleesa, Moonsong, Marshal Alton, Zhang Mengyao, and Lu An were waiting for him.     

As he entered the portal, the five stared at him in a daze. It was a surprised stare as if they were not expecting him to appear like this. The stares started to make him uncomfortable. "Where\'s Virion?" It was Virion that was supposed to accompany him, but the Elven King was nowhere to be seen.     

"I will be replacing him, Your Majesty. Since the meeting is meant to showcase our power, it will be better for me to accompany you instead." Aleesa explained the last-minute change.     

Tang Shaoyang nodded. "There\'s no requirement for how many people can accompany me. Call Virion to join us." He did not tell the reason why he insisted Virion join.     

Of course, he had a reason for that. He believed that the reason Virion volunteered to join him was that Virion wanted to know more about the eleventh floor. With how things transpired between them, The Elven King had lost his trust in him. So he wanted Virion to be included in the meeting with the other three worlds. He did not want Virion to feel like he or the Elven Kingdom was being isolated after the incident.     

[I will call Sir Virion right away, Your Majesty] Origin responded.     

"So… Why only me who dresses up?" Tang Shaoyang walked next to Aleesa and Zhang Mengyao. The five people had their armor as if they were going to a battle instead of a meeting.     

"Of course, they are coming as a bodyguard, so they should wear their equipment, of course." Kang Xue was the one who replied. "You are the face of the empire, so you should dress up."     

"I told you, didn\'t I? Fighting is not allowed in the starter city, so I don\'t think you guys need to wear the equipment. We are not going to fight anyone even if they turn hostile toward us." Tang Shaoyang rolled his eyes.     

"We are tight in time, Your Majesty. I don\'t think we have time to dress up." Marshal Alton interjected. Despite the flat expression, Tang Shaoyang could perceive the unwillingness of the old man to dress up.     

\'Why are you bringing Virion with us?\' Zhang Mengyao whispered. She was the one who proposed the last-minute change. The reason behind the last-minute change was that she was afraid that Virion would secretly contact the people from Allurion since there were elves there. After what happened recently, her concerns were not unfounded. She was afraid that Virion would use this chance to betray them by working with the elves from Allurion.     

Tang Shaoyang smiled instead of agreeing with her. "We have to trust him if we want him to trust us, no?"     

"What if he betrays us? A wise man said it is what it is." He made a joke over something serious, but he was genuine with what he said to Zhang Mengyao. The only way to gain the Elven Kingdom\'s trust once more was by trusting them.     

It did not take for the Elven King to arrive at the portal room. From the look on his face, Virion was rushing over, and a little bit of sweat could be seen on his face.     

Tang Shaoyang felt like he had made the right decision to bring Virion. The Elven King truly wanted to get involved more in the important affair of the empire. That way, Virion would feel that the Elven Kingdom was not isolated by the empire and that the Elven Kingdom was important to the empire by involving them in a big affair like this.     

"Thank you for inviting me to join the meeting, Your Majesty." Virion bowed his head.
