Peerless Divine Doctor

Chapter 2864: Chapter 2865: The Meeting

In the past few days, the threshold of the Royal Teacher’s residence has been practically worn flat.

Many high-ranking members of the nobility and sect forces have come to visit. Ostensibly, they are here to see the Royal Teacher, but in reality, they are seeking out Nameless.

With Ye Luo absent and Qin Se having moved away, only Nameless remains in charge at the Royal Teacher’s residence.

However, Nameless completely ignores them. When in a good mood, he informs them that it’s inconvenient to receive guests, and if in a bad mood, simply drives them out.

But the nobles have no grievances. After all, Nameless’s status and position are evident.

If things go as expected, Nameless will hold increasing power in the coming years, which will significantly affect the interests of the nobility and sect forces.

”You’re quite at ease. Do you know that the nobles and sect leaders coming to see you have already lined up down the street?” Ye Luo said, speechless.

This young man is truly calm.

”If they choose to wait, that’s their business. Why should I bother with it?” Nameless said, utterly unconcerned. ”You’re back at the right time, come have a drink with me. Things have been quite dull lately!”

Ye Luo shook his head. ”Put away the drinks for now, you’ll have to go out to meet the guests later!”

”Ye Luo, do you really plan to meet those people? If Father finds out, it won’t be good!” Nameless said, surprised.

It turns out his actions were not out of reluctance to meet them, but rather concern about the King of Huainan’s thoughts! After all, he isn’t sure of the current situation with the King of Huainan. Although the king allows him to succeed, power is impartial to father and son! Besides, Nameless doesn’t know the king’s disposition. Doing nothing for now seems the wisest choice.

Ye Luo nodded slightly. Nameless’s way of thinking isn’t wrong.

However, Ye Luo knows the King of Huainan’s situation. Although his achievements in that battle were remarkable, they only reflect the past two years, which is a mere moment to a cultivator.

Therefore, he must support Nameless in ascending to power.

As for Qin Se, even though Ye Luo’s previous words had a significant impact on her, he himself holds little confidence in her.

A woman challenging the entire rules of the Demon Realm is akin to an ant trying to shake a tree.

”Just do as I say!” Ye Luo said in a deep voice. ”You cannot afford to offend these nobles, regardless of whether you wish to ascend the throne in the future!”

With a casual gesture, Nameless clapped his hands and stood up from the floor.

”I’ve been waiting for you to come back. It’s enough to make my head hurt just thinking about dealing with those portly fellows!”

Ye Luo shook his head and walked out first.

The nobles had been queued here for three days. It was impossible for them not to feel some discontent.

After all, they are the nobles of the Royal City, along with high-ranking members of the great sect forces outside the Royal Capital, essentially true power holders of the third force.

”This prince sure has a large presence. We’ve waited three full days here, and there’s not even a peep!”

”Heh, well, he’s the heir, perhaps he’s showing us who’s boss right from the start!”

”Let’s not talk carelessly, lest it reaches the prince’s ears and causes trouble. Whether intentional or not, as long as he can guarantee peace in the Royal City, we must support him!”

”Alas, I fear things may not go as we wish!”

...

In their idle moments, these visitors began discussing among themselves. The people visiting are at least key figures among the nobility, and the sects have sent Deputy Sect Master-level figures to show sincerity.

Thus, their discussions reflected the sentiments of each force, naturally carrying some implicit criticism.

”By the prince’s order, all are invited to gather in the reception hall!”

A voice suddenly sounded from within the Royal Teacher’s residence.

”It’s the Royal Teacher’s voice!”

Many people’s spirits were suddenly lifted upon hearing this transmission.

In truth, while they feared Nameless’s position, they harbored genuine respect for Ye Luo!

After that battle, the name of Ye Luo as the Royal Teacher was firmly established, and he became the leading figure among the younger generation of the third force!

Of course, they were also thrilled that Nameless was finally meeting them, making their days of effort worthwhile after all.

This group then entered the Royal Teacher’s residence in grand fashion; fortunately, the reception hall was spacious enough; otherwise, not accommodating these people would have been embarrassing.

These visitors didn’t come empty-handed; instead, each force arrived with several attendants, who brought lavish gifts, adhering to the etiquette of the Royal City, even an unspoken rule.

Upon seeing Nameless and Ye Luo standing at the front of the reception hall, their eyes immediately brightened.

”Greetings to Prince Your Highness, greetings to the Royal Teacher!”

They all paid formal respects, not daring to be negligent.

”Please rise, there’s no need for excessive formality. Recently, the Royal Teacher and I were preoccupied with important matters and were not in the residence. Due to the urgency, we couldn’t inform you of the real reason, causing you a long wait. For this, the Royal Teacher and I deeply apologize,” Nameless said with a hint of apology.

Upon hearing this, the people below finally understood that this was the reason. Additionally, Nameless’s tone was sincere, which put them at ease.

Of course, these were words instructed by Ye Luo for Nameless to say; otherwise, with his temperament, he would never say such things.

”Recently, I’ve been endlessly busy, and I have urgent matters to report to my father, so the Royal Teacher will entertain you on my behalf. The Royal Teacher is my invaluable aide, and he can make decisions for me on all matters, so you need not have any reservations!”

This was also Ye Luo’s advice to him. Given his lack of clarity in dealing with such matters, Ye Luo simply took full responsibility.

The other nobles were not surprised, thinking that Nameless’s recent refusal to see guests was due to completing tasks for the King of Huainan, indicating the king’s gradual delegation of power to him. This made the nobles even more eager to ingratiate themselves with Nameless.

Subsequently, Nameless naturally departed from the reception hall, while Ye Luo slowly made his way into the crowd.

The people eagerly greeted Ye Luo, with several high-ranking nobles even initiating conversations.

Ye Luo responded with considerable enthusiasm, for he knew that if he were to survive in the Royal City, he would need to maintain good relations with these nobles.

Judging by the situation, the King of Huainan wasn’t about to let Ye Luo leave easily, so he naturally had to find something to do in the Royal City.
