Chapter 561: Chapter 297: The Five Titans of Chenxing Principality_2

Seeing this, Yuan Tai, who was already over three hundred years old, knew immediately that a high-ranking figure from the Song family must be arriving. His eyes quickly moved around, and after a short moment, his gaze steadied as he swiftly stood up, Spectral Energy flowing around his form, and followed Song Yufeng.

Noticing Yuan Tai closely following him, Song Yufeng glanced at him and intended to send him away, but then seemed to think of something and instead said,

“You can follow, but remember not to speak carelessly. If you manage to anger the person who is about to arrive, I won’t be able to make excuses for you…”

…

In the sky above Holy Star City, after a Spatial Jump, the Cang Qiong finally arrived near the space above the city.

Although the Principality explicitly prohibits direct jumps to the location of the Chenxing Floating Land, that only restricts warships entering from outside the Floating Land. Once identity verification by the Principality’s stationed fleet is passed, ships may jump on their own.

...

After all, the Chenxing Yang Continent is a Fifth Rank Starry Sea Floating Land, reaching a staggering eight Light-Years in diameter. If one could not jump, just traveling around this large land would take years to start.

Star Avenue, a street bustling with traffic, suddenly fell into an eerie standstill as all pedestrians instinctively turned their gaze towards the Dragon Spine Shop Building to the side.

Suddenly, over a hundred security members of the Song family from the Dragon Spine Shops leaped out of the building, followed by summoning over a hundred Escort Ships. The next second, they soared into the sky, led by a few kilometer-long Cruisers, and arranged themselves in several neat lines as a welcoming fleet above the building.

In the middle of Starry Sea Avenue, a crisp female voice wondered from the back seat of a limited-edition speeding flying car,

“Uncle Lin, what happened up ahead?”

The middle-aged man in the passenger seat explained softly,

“Miss, it seems to be some commotion from the Song Family’s Dragon Spine Shops. Judging by the scale, it appears a high-level member of the Song family has arrived!”

“The Song family, is it the Dinghai Song family?”

“Yes, Miss!”

Hearing this, the girl in the back seat of the flying car seemed to spark some interest, carefully shifting her gaze towards the firmament.

Furthermore, among the stalled traffic on the street were many individuals of non-ordinary status. After briefly complaining, once they heard it was the doing of the Dinghai Song family, all complaints dissipated into nothingness.

The Dinghai Song family is one of the five major powers of the entire Chenxing Principality. Although it is suspected to be last among them, it was definitely not something any Tom, Dick, or Harry would dare to provoke.

Soon, a 1,300-meter-long Warship enshrouded in an Energy Shield and completely covered in a Five-Colored Light Shield began to descend slowly from the sky.

As the Cruiser descended to less than a hundred meters from the Dragon Spine Shop Building, harmonious voices suddenly rang out from the welcoming fleet consisting of over a hundred ships.

“Welcome, Seventh Prince!”

“Welcome, Seventh Prince!”

“Welcome, Seventh Prince!”

…

This majestic sound echoed throughout the Star Avenue, spanning hundreds of kilometers, and also reached the ears of countless citizens around Star Street, revealing the identity of this high-level member of the Song family.

In the limited edition flying car, the color of the middle-aged man in the passenger seat deepened, a look of surprise appeared in his eyes, and then he was heard muttering to himself,

“The Seventh Sequence of the contemporary Song family? That Song Chi, who just entered the Sequence ten years ago?”

“Isn’t it that the true direct descendants of the Song family haven’t left the Dinghai Star Domain for many years? Why has he suddenly changed the usual style and become so high-profile?”

In the back seat of the flying car, the girl’s nimble eyes moved slightly as she thought to herself,

“The contemporary Seventh Sequence of the Dinghai Song family, I wonder how he compares to my Fourth Brother…”

…

Another kilometer-high building on Star Street, the main shop of the Lu Family’s Golden Horn in Holy Star City.

At the top floor, one of the Deputy Managers of the Lu Family’s shop frowned.

“The Seventh Sequence of the Song family, this won’t do, I must report this to the family immediately!”

…

Star Street, Legendary Guild.

Thump, thump, thump!

At the top floor of the meeting hall, accompanied by a series of knocks, a soft female voice came through the door.

“Come in!”

As she entered the room, the middle-aged woman who had knocked spoke softly,

“Housemaster, the Dinghai Song Family just publicly welcomed their contemporary Seventh Sequence!”

In a room filled with a faint fragrance, a plump woman was sitting cross-legged on a green cushion, seemingly in the midst of visualization, hummed softly in response.

Hearing this acknowledgment, the middle-aged woman seemed to have received the response she needed and, without further ado, bowed and exited the room.

Once the door was closed, the seated woman gently opened her eyes and said in an ethereal voice,

“The contemporary Seventh Sequence of the Dinghai Song Family must be another person of exceptional talent. If I could get him to lend a hand, perhaps there would be a chance for a turnaround.”

…

Song Chi was oblivious to these reactions, the only thing he knew was that he was so embarrassed his big toe was nearly stuck in a three-bedroom apartment.

Looking down at the tens of thousands of gazes cast toward the Cangqiong, he felt like there were a million of those horses galloping in his heart.

Honestly, this pomp and circumstance that came out of nowhere, as if fearing outsiders would not be aware of the arrival of the new Seventh Sequence of the Song family, was something he, the person involved, had known nothing about from the beginning.

If he had known about this stunt earlier, he certainly would not have come here so directly.

This was completely at odds with his usual low-key style.

After a good while of embarrassment and annoyance, Song Chi seemed to have realized something.

Recalling how the family head had suddenly asked him to hurry to the Capital Star Domain, it was not hard to guess that this must have been a deliberate arrangement by the family’s higher-ups.

Only in this way could he explain why the family members at the Dragon Spine Shops would suddenly pull off such a stunt.

Why would they do this? Clearly, the family head and those clan elders intentionally wanted his arrival to be known to everyone in the Chenxing Floating Land. As for the exact reason, Song Chi found it puzzling.

Could it be they were displeased with his habitual modesty?

Unable to figure it out for the moment, Song Chi did not continue to ponder and controlled the Cangqiong to continue descending. When he had descended to the same height as the welcoming party, he softly uttered two words.

“Thank you!”

Then he led everyone to retract the warship and land on the roof of the Dragon Spine Shop Building one after another.

Here, several key family members stationed at the Dragon Spine Shops were already waiting. Behind them, stood several women in formal ladies’ attire, their voluptuous figures perfectly on display, taking the idea of spectacle to the extreme.

“Your Highness!”

Leading the core family members, Song Yufeng bowed and greeted.

Next to him, Yuan Tai had waves of shock surging through his heart.

The Seventh Sequence of the Song family, being someone who had cooperated with the Dragon Spine Shops for many years, he knew the pedigree of the Song family’s direct lineage all too well.

If someone like Song Yufeng, who has a clan elder grandfather, is a core member of the Song family, then those in the family sequence, who are few in number each century, are absolutely among the few members who can reach the upper echelons of the Song family.

Moreover, he had received some secretive information that people like the Song family sequence, as long as they don’t die prematurely, are almost guaranteed to become Zhulu Warship Captains within a century, and they even have a good chance of becoming Fifth Rank Battleship Captains later on.

Which means, the person before him was indeed a prospective Zhulu Warship Captain, a formidable person who could traverse the Starry Sea for two thousand years. Knowing this, how could he not be alarmed?

In an instant, Yuan Tai’s mind raced. He was well aware that if he could cling to this powerful figure, not only could the Yuan Family change its current decline, but even further advancement in the future was not impossible.

But how to cling to the leg of a direct member of a principality’s powerhouse? That was the question troubling him the most at the moment.

“What if I take out one of the few ultimate assets left in the family?”

Of course, Song Chi was unaware of these thoughts. Currently, with his bio-skin mask on, his face showed no expression. He glanced over at Song Yufeng, nodded lightly in acknowledgment, and then was led away from the rooftop by Song Yufeng personally, making their way to a private meeting room within the Dragon Spine Shops.

PS: I didn’t even notice until now that the college entrance examination had already started this year. I wish all the students taking the exam can perform well beyond their usual capabilities and achieve the results they desire.
