Return

"Your Majesty? You should have told me. I would have come to meet you." The King of the Gold Kingdom spoke respectfully as Alex entered his place of stay. 

"My apologies, King Qian. I heard you came seeking for me a few times and had to be sent back," Alex said. "I was busy dealing with my breakthrough's aftermath and didn't think anyone would be looking for me."

"Oh no, it's fine," the king said. "Congratulations on reaching the Saint Soul realm, your Majesty."

"Thank you," Alex said with a slight bow. He wondered if he sensed a hint of envy in the king's voice. Alex wondered if the King knew how old he was and was feeling jealous of Alex's cultivation base.

Qian Yanglin was at least 2 thousand years old and was only in mid Saint Soul realm. If he knew how fast Alex's cultivation base had improved, then it wouldn't be much of a stretch to think he envied him.
