Chapter 48: Spiritual Roots
The chubby man seemed to enjoy the reverent gazes from those around him. With a beaming smile, he said, "No need to be so formal..."
The Dongyang Lady led the way, with the chubby man following closely behind. As they were about to enter the rear hall, the man suddenly halted. He turned around, his small eyes squeezed into slits by his fat as they swept over the crowd. In a calm tone, he asked, "Who is Qin Sang?"
In an instant, all eyes in the Sacred Palace turned towards Qin Sang.
The Dongyang Lady raised her gaze slightly.
Qin Sang, who had been feeling disappointed, thinking that the young man with the surname Han had broken his promise, quickly bowed and said, "Esteemed Immortal, I am Qin Sang."
The young man scrutinized Qin Sang for a moment before giving a soft "hmm." He pointed at Qin Sang and said, "Come see me after the coronation ceremony."
With that, he turned and walked into the rear hall.
The main hall fell silent.
Qin Sang could feel the surprise and envy in those gazes, as well as the jealousy from the eldest prince. Even the Dongyang King, who was about to ascend the throne, stared intently at Qin Sang.
