Deposed Crown Prince: After three years of service on the frontier, the entire court knelt and begge

After hearing Xiao Yang's words, Xiao Ce smiled and nodded, "No problem, we'll do everything as you say..."

As they spoke, Yin Pan'er whispered from the side, "Your Highness, are we almost there...?"

After hearing Yin Pan'er's words, Xiao Yang looked in the direction she was looking.

After taking a look, Xiao Yang said to Xiao Ce, "Not bad, we're almost there."

"Brother, the people from the five major families at the port are all there, waiting to welcome you... If you don't want to see them, I'll speak to them first and ask them to leave..."

After hearing Xiao Yang's words, Xiao Ce smiled and waved his hand, then said to Xiao Yang, "Xiao Yang, no problem. Since we're already on their turf and need their help, there's no reason not to even meet them..."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Xiao Yang smiled and said, "Brother, if you don't want to see them... you don't have to worry about that... they all listen to me... these are not problems."

After hearing Xiao Yang's words, Xiao Ce smiled and said, "It's alright, meeting him won't hurt... Besides, it's a favor to you, and it'll make it easier for you to carry out your work here in the future..."

Hearing Xiao Ce's words, Xiao Yang was still slightly moved and said to Xiao Ce, "Brother, you're the best... Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony with you... Don't worry, those people are absolutely safe..."

Xiao Ce gave Xiao Yang a bright smile and then nodded.

As the fleet drew ever closer to the shore, Xiao Ce said to Xiao Yang, "Let's go to the deck."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Xiao Yang nodded and then said, "Okay, let's go to the deck."

Their fleet, along with Xiao Yang's fleet, lined up in a row and docked at the shore.

After landing, Xiao Ce immediately spotted people with yellow skin dressed in Chinese clothing.

Most of them were from these families, and I didn't see a single person of different skin color.

Xiao Yang explained in a low voice, "Big brother, it's mainly people from the five major families; we didn't let anyone else come."

After hearing Xiao Yang's words, Xiao Ce nodded and then asked, "What about Kimberly and the others?"

Xiao Ce only remembered Xiao Yang as he spoke. They hadn't mentioned Kimberly during their conversation earlier.

Xiao Yang said to Xiao Ce, "Brother, Kimberly and the others are doing very well here... However, this time when you came, I didn't go directly to tell him. I figured if you wanted him to know, he would already know. Since you didn't inform him, I didn't go to him either..."

After hearing Xiao Yang's words, Xiao Ce smiled and then said, "Not bad, he seems to be doing well here."

Xiao Yang nodded with a smile: "Of course, brother. Think about it, with us giving them the green light all the way, Dark Light Group is doing very smoothly here... Of course, brother, he's also provided us with a lot of revenue. Kimberly is a straightforward person, so it's a win-win situation. Everyone is very willing to help him..."

"Actually, everyone has a good impression of you, and Kimberly also put in a lot of effort... Because when Kimberly was dealing with people from our five families, he always said that all his decisions were based on your advice... So, everyone thinks that since Kimberly is so kind, you must also be a kind person... Moreover, Kimberly is involved in both luxury goods and philanthropy, so people have a good impression of their Dark Light brand..."

Hearing Xiao Yang's words, Xiao Ce was somewhat surprised, and then said to Xiao Yang, "Xiao Yang, isn't Dark Light a luxury brand? These nobles here actually think Dark Light is good? Dark Light is just a brand that preys on wealthy Westerners. It's a brand I created, and they actually think it's good?"

Xiao Yang smiled and said to Xiao Ce, "Of course, brother, they don't actually feel like they're being exploited. Rich people often need to indulge in a little extravagance. Especially some nobles; they have money and want to flaunt it, but they can't just go out wearing gold. Even if they did wear gold, it wouldn't necessarily make them look that wealthy..."

"The emergence of this Dark Light brand gave them something befitting their aristocratic status... Moreover, the things designed by Dark Light brand truly reflected its value, and they were very willing to spend money on such luxury items."

After hearing Xiao Yang's words, Xiao Ce nodded: "Okay...that's true. Some people, once they have a certain amount of money, need some kind of spiritual fulfillment..."

Xiao Yang nodded: "That's right. There's one more thing. I didn't go to see him because he's very busy right now... so I didn't want to bother him. Also, I heard that he came to see you once before?"

Xiao Ce nodded, and as he spoke, their boat had already safely docked at the shore.

After reaching the shore, they began to disembark.

After Xiao Yang disembarked, Xiao Ce immediately spotted a middle-aged man at the head of the group.

At first glance, this man looks about 70-80% similar to Xiao Yang.

It's often said that a nephew resembles his uncle, and that's absolutely true.

At a glance, it was clear that the middle-aged man at the head of the group was Xiao Yang's uncle, Nie Zhao.

The men and women who were about the same age as Xiao Yang following behind Nie Zhao were probably his children.

On the other side, there were many people with yellow skin who looked like people from the Dragon Kingdom.

In fact, these people have lived here for so long, and although they have heard Xiao Yang say that they also value bloodlines, they rarely have the habit of mixing blood with foreigners here.

However, perhaps due to the different environment, their appearance has changed compared to that of the Xiao Kingdom.

When they came up, Xiao Yang introduced them to the man in the lead.

"Brother, this is the uncle I told you about..."

As he spoke, Nie Zhao walked over and said directly to Xiao Ce, "Hello, Mr. Ce. I don't know how to address you. Should I call you Mr. Ce, or Crown Prince? Or Your Majesty?"

After hearing Nie Zhao's words, Xiao Ce smiled and said, "Didn't you call me Mr. Ce? In the West, there are no princes, let alone crown princes, and calling me His Majesty is completely unfounded... Mr. Nie Zhao, just call me Mr. Ce..."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Nie Zhao smiled and nodded, "Alright, Mr. Ce, then let's do as you say..."

As he spoke, Nie Zhao looked at some people who looked like they came from China.

Nie Zhao then said to these people who looked like they came from China, "You should all introduce yourselves to Mr. Ce."

Nie Zhao was still considered young compared to the other four clan leaders.

The heads of the other four families are all old men, however, although they are old men.

However, they were all in high spirits and looked to be in very good condition.

Just then, a tall, thin old man with gray hair bowed to Xiao Ce with his hands clasped.

“Mr. Ce, my name is Ji Chang. I am the head of the Ji family in Longguo City.”

Xiao Ce was still somewhat surprised and puzzled when he saw the old man bowing to him with his hands clasped.

Because his etiquette was so standard, to be precise, his etiquette was still somewhat different from that of the Xiao Kingdom.

Xiao Ce had seen it in some books before, and that shouldn't be considered Xiao Kingdom etiquette.

It would be more appropriate to call it the royal etiquette of the Dragon Kingdom.

When Xiao Ce saw him bow like that, he returned the gesture as well, addressing him as a member of the Dragon Kingdom's royal family.

When Ji Chang saw Xiao Ce return the greeting, he was astonished: "Mr. Ce, does your Xiao Kingdom still use the royal etiquette of the Dragon Kingdom?"

Xiao Ce smiled at Ji Chang and said, "No, Xiao Kingdom did adopt some of the royal etiquette of the Dragon Kingdom, but only some... However, it was optimized and simplified in many ways... Although it was not used in the past, I learned about it when I studied the history of the Dragon Kingdom..."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Ji Chang smiled and then said, "Mr. Ce, as the ruler of Xiao Kingdom, are you willing to acknowledge the Dragon Kingdom?"

Xiao Ce smiled and said, "Of course, the Dragon Kingdom was the most prosperous dynasty on that continent. The Xiao Kingdom is the Xiao Kingdom, but it was also once a part of the Dragon Kingdom... Moreover, everyone in the Xiao Kingdom is willing to acknowledge their identity as people of the Dragon Kingdom... In fact, the Xiao Kingdom has never denied its connection to the Dragon Kingdom..."

Upon hearing Xiao Ce's words, Ji Chang nodded excitedly, his gratitude evident in his expression.
