With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods – Chapter 901

Strange banquet

“Do you know why we’ve been summoned to the palace?”

The other two shook their heads in response to show that they didn’t know anything.

After all, all three of them had been completely caught off guard when they received the invitation from the royal palace.

These three were the heads of the three founding families, so they naturally knew what had happened in the palace this morning. Only they couldn’t do a thing about this since they had already tried to interfere and failed.

If they had done anything else, it would have only blown up in their faces and offended the envoy from the Mu Empire.

Though it did eat them up inside to see the royal family being able to get closer to the envoy from the Mu Empire.

Never would they have expected to be invited to the banquet that was being held in honour of the envoy from the Mu Empire. They thought that the royal family would try to keep the three founding families as far away as possible from the envoy.

After all, the envoy was what the royal family was planning to use against these three founding families.

After a moment of silence, the head of the Duanmu Family asked, “Do any of you have any dealings with the Mu Empire?”

The other two family heads shook their heads when they heard this.

Even more confused looks appeared on their faces when they heard this, but there were strange looks that were in the eyes of the heads of the Duanmu Family and the Bei Family.

They knew something that the head of the Ouyang Family didn’t know.

After all, they had sent someone to the Mu Empire not that long ago…

Though they didn’t believe that this would be related to this matter.

After all, the person that they were after was just someone who had been cast out of the Duanmu and Bei Families. She was not someone that would be able to gain any kind of power, or at least not substantial power that would influence the entire Mu Empire.

So while Duanmu Tian Jue was missing, they only thought that it was his own fault for underestimating Duanmu Ming Xue.

The heads of the Duanmu and Bei Families leaned in closer to whisper something.

“We’ll send someone to check on Duanmu Tian Jue and Duanmu Ming Xue after this?” The head of the Duanmu Family asked.

The head of the Bei Family nodded in agreement.

The head of the Ouyang Family narrowed his eyes to look at the two of them while they were talking about this, but he didn’t say anything in the end. The main thing between them is that they could all do their own thing and they wouldn’t interfere with each other.

So he had to keep one eye closed to them talking privately like this.

This was the basics of their cooperation.

After they came to this agreement, the three of them headed into the palace together.

As soon as they walked in, they were immediately stopped.

Only it wasn’t that they weren’t allowed into the palace, it was just that someone came to check their invitation before leading them to the banquet hall. It seemed that they were being treated as normal guests to this banquet, which confused the three family heads.

After all, they couldn’t remember the last time that they had been treated as guests in the palace.

The grudge that was between the three founding families and the royal family was one that had been there for a long time, so it wasn’t as if they had treated each other kindly in a long time.

When they arrived in the banquet hall, the three family heads were even more taken aback.

That was because King Han personally came forward to greet them.

“Family heads, it’s been a long time since we’ve met. I hope that we will be able to remain civil with each other tonight.”

It didn’t seem like there was any hostility in King Han’s voice when he said this. It was almost as if he was serious about getting along with them, or at least for the night.

Which was why the three family heads were completely confused.

Why?

That was the thought that was on all of their minds when they saw King Han like this.

They just couldn’t think of a reason why he would be acting this way towards them.

That was until they were introduced to someone.

“This is Lin Fan, the envoy from the Mu Empire. When he arrived, he insisted on meeting the three family heads, which was why we hosted this banquet to welcome him and to give you a place to meet.”

As soon as they heard this, they immediately understood what the situation was.

At the same time, the three family heads couldn’t help feeling a bit excited.

They had thought that they wouldn’t be able to interfere in this matter at all because of their failure last night, but who would have thought that an opportunity would come to them.

Of course, they didn’t dare let their guards down at the same time since they knew that there was nothing that was this good in the world. There was a chance that seemed to have come out of nowhere, which made it even more suspicious.

So it wasn’t as if they would lose their heads because of this.

They would first calmly engage with Lin Fan just to see what he wanted.

But at the same time, that didn’t mean that they had to act like they didn’t see him.

“Sir envoy, it is our honour to meet you.”

The three of them immediately went forward and started flattering Lin Fan.

With the way that they flattered him, it was almost as if he was some kind of ancestor for their family. It didn’t seem like they had any hesitation to lower themselves when they were flattering Lin Fan.

This was a very strange scene to watch since they were all middle aged men and Lin Fan was just a young man who wasn’t even in his twenties yet.

But they did it without any hesitation.

One had to have a certain amount of shamelessness if they wanted to be the head of a family and these three certainly had this quality. They were able to lower their heads to someone that they considered above them even if he was younger than them.

They might even be willing to kiss his butt until their nose was brown if they could get enough benefits from him.

The ministers all had strange looks as they watched the three family heads act this way, but Lin Fan had a calm look on his face.

Though it would be a lie to say that he didn’t feel strangely about this like the ministers felt. It was just that he was better at keeping his emotions hidden compared to them.

He had much more experience than them, so he was able to regulate his emotions better and not show it on his face.

After the greeting, Lin Fan calmly said to the three of them, “Our Mu Empire is interested in creating an alliance with your Han Kingdom. Only based on the current situation of the Han Kingdom, it doesn’t seem like the best time for that.”

The three family heads slightly knitted their brows, but they also just as quickly recovered their neutral expression so they wouldn’t show this.

Lin Fan didn’t seem to mind as he continued by saying, “While our Mu Empire is not interested in this matter, it is a fact that this matter will be a detriment if we were to create an alliance with your Han Kingdom. As such, we hope that you will solve your internal problems before that. It doesn’t matter how you will solve this, as long as you are capable of solving it.”

The three family heads were surprised to hear this, but they could also tell that this was serious.

They could see the slight discomfort that was coming from King Han after Lin Fan said this.

All three of them were excited after seeing this since they never thought that this would be happening. They thought that the appearance of the Mu Empire would just throw a new variable into the mix, but it seemed that it was much greater than that.

It seemed that this was their opportunity.

They didn’t get a chance to say anything as Lin Fan continued, “Next, I’ll be meeting with all three of you separately to discuss a few things. I hope that you will be able to give me answers that will satisfy me. If you do satisfy me, then there is certainly a chance to discuss future cooperation.”

“Sir envoy, this is a bit inappropriate.” King Han said with a slightly ugly expression.

However, Lin Fan didn’t seem to care as he said, “This is a private matter, I hope that you will not mind.”

The way that he said this was as if he didn’t care about King Han’s objection and he was going to do it anyway.

This was the kind of attitude that one would expect from an envoy of the Mu Empire.

However, the three family heads were all laughing in their minds when they heard this.

They weren’t fools, they could clearly tell what this envoy was talking about.

Even though this envoy said that he didn’t want to get involved in this matter, the fact that he wanted to talk to them alone made it clear that with the right price, he could be bought.

This was exactly what they were waiting for.
