When he uttered the word "Pu," he spat out a series of soap bubbles, which made him cough violently.
Li Banfeng was very disappointed in Chu Shaoqiang. "Come up with a better excuse."
Chu Shaoqiang wiped his mouth with a handkerchief. "Alright, I'll tell you the truth. I am to deliver Knife Ghost Ridge to Sage Peak because the Saint on Sage Peak wants Knife Ghost Ridge."
"What does he want Knife Ghost Ridge for?"
"He wants an army to restore his former status."
"And what is his status?"
"He is the last emperor of the former dynasty. After losing the war, he lost his realm. His realm then split into two parts: one part came under the control of the Royal Family and is now Inner State, while the other part is present-day Puluo State."
This time, Chu Shaoqiang didn't blow any soap bubbles; he was telling the truth.
Yet Li Banfeng didn't understand. "If Inner State is controlled by the Royal Family, why doesn't the Saint return there? Isn't he the Emperor?"
