Chapter 12 - Allegiance

City Lord's Mansion

Thinking back to his previous life, Long Xuan felt that he had always lived a pathetic life. The thirty odd people in his previous life were still virgins, and the house he rented was the cheapest one, while the work he did every day was endless, and his parents had always been living in the countryside with the lowest income in the entire company. When he graduated from university, he thought that he would be able to show respect to his parents, but later on, due to him being laid off by the company, he became a member of the army. Yet he had already come to this world.

After arriving in this world, Long Xuan accepted all of the consciousness and memories of the owner of this body. Although he felt that this world was very cruel, he was now at least a prince of an empire, and he didn't need to spend so much effort on those three meals a day like in his previous life, nor did he need to spend so much money on those few hundred yuan worth of manuscripts. All he wanted was this, and no matter what, at least he could let himself not be worried about anything anymore.

Long Xuan couldn't help but recall the power he had in this foreign world. Even though he was a cultivation trash, he currently had an Overlord System, through which he could summon some experts to fight for him, which was his most powerful means and protection in this foreign world. Moreover, the subordinates that he had summoned over, seemed to be just his own creatures. Although the guards that patrolled the area appeared in front of him from time to time, they were merely numbers in Long Xuan's eyes. He really wanted to come into contact with the people of this world. However, he was still unable to leave. Firstly, he did not have any battle qi and was still young, so he had no ability to protect himself in the outside world. Secondly, although he could understand their language, he could not write it; and lastly, he was still a prince of the empire and the Prince Nineteen of the current emperor and empress.

It was one of the specialties of the Hal City. Long Yu had already scoured through all the large and small forces in the Hal City, and had already given him a return, but what did that have to do with him? He could not stay here for a long period of time, and even though it was his own fief, he still had to leave. The feudal fiefdom's taxes would be given to the Empire regularly, and the Empire's tax department would distribute it to all the owners of these fiefs in a proportionate manner.

"Reporting, Lord. The patriarch of Pan Family is outside seeking an audience." Long Lei's voice sounded from outside.

"Oh," Long Xuan thought for a moment, then said, "Bring him here."

"Yes!"

Not long later, Pan Dongming's voice sounded from outside:

"Respected Hall of Prince Nineteen, I, Pan Dongming, seek an audience."

"Come in." Long Xuan sat on the doorstep and said softly.

After Pan Dongming came in, he saw Long Xuan sitting alone on the doorstep, holding a cup of wine and wearing a casual robe. His two legs were still bare, but at this moment, he had raised his head to look up at the distant blue starry sky, looking extremely idle.

After Pan Dongming entered, he gave Long Xuan a noble's salute and then quietly stood to the side with his head lowered, acting extremely respectful.

Long Xuan held onto her wine cup and turned around to look at him. She asked curiously: "Did Clan Leader Pan come to this king's place at night because he had something to discuss?"

Pan Dongming had not even regained his senses yet, he had never seen a prince like Long Xuan. After hearing Long Xuan's question, Pan Dongming bowed once more and said, "The prince's hall, our Pan Family wishes to swear loyalty to you."

"Allegiance?" When Long Xuan heard it, he could not help but be shocked. He stood up and looked straight at Pan Dongming.

Pan Dongming nodded his head, "Yes, Your Highness, our Pan Family is a small clan that started out as a business, and it has not been easy for us to reach this step in the past few hundred years. If we cannot climb up to the protection of a high ranked power, a poor family like us who do not have any foundation, will very likely become a speck of dust in the long history of the country, and a clan like ours, in the Empire, is extremely rare, it doesn't even count as much. We have to look for a high ranked power to recruit us, and coincidentally, we came to the Hal City, so our entire clan wants to rely on them. With that, he quietly looked at Long Xuan.

Long Xuan held onto his wine cup, and slowly walked in front of Pan Dongming. He stared at Pan Dongming, and after a while, he completely cleaned the wine in his hands, and asked: "What can I get?"

Pan Dongming said softly: "Even though the Pan Family isn't some huge family, with the accumulation of hundreds of years, we are willing to pay the King Xuan 100 million purple gold coins as the operating expenses."

was shocked. 100 million purple coins was not a small sum, ordinary third-rate families might not even be able to afford it. He did not expect the ninth rate family, the Pan Family, to ask for 100 million purple coins.

"Mn." Long Xuan thought for a moment, looked at Pan Dongming, and said: "I'm fine with accepting the loyalty and loyalty of your Pan Family, but I have two conditions. Firstly, the treasury of your Pan Family must be opened for me. As for how many items I would even take out, that would depend on the amount of items in your treasury. The second is that you must submit a ballot paper. "

Pan Dongming nodded and said, "Okay. But I wonder what the King Xuan is referring to? "

Long Xuan nodded after hearing it, "Alright, I'll go and take a look at your Pan Family's treasury tomorrow before speaking again. I'll tell you about the vote later. "

"Yes, that little one will take his leave." Pan Dongming bowed, then took his leave.

Long Xuan nodded and had Long Lei send him out.
