"Your Excellency, the Cloudmoon Imperial City's envoy team has arrived and are currently requesting an audience outside," Ning Tianping reported.

Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Let them come in. The Cloudmoon Imperial City and the Myriad Treasure Tower have very deep connections. I can't shirk responsibility either. Furthermore, the city lord came to visit in person, so it's also considered giving us sufficient face."

Ning Tianping said, "Your Excellency, this sort of thing, wouldn't it do to let City Lord Zuo go and handle it? Why is there a need to welcome personally?"

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "It's cooling to have your back against a large tree! I naturally don't need to give face to anyone but myself. But the entire Heavenly Eagle Imperial City is hard to defend just based on my power alone. With a Heavenly Emperor faction as a backer, it would naturally be much safer."

When Ning Tianping heard that, he was filled with deep respect in his heart.
