Zahrah Province's view was spectacular. Even though there were no treasure zones anymore like the ancient times, it still retained some of its majesty.

Regardless of which region of the province, green tress with flowers of various colors were gently swaying with the light wind.

The sun was burning brightly in the afternoon, engulfing the entire province with its warm rays.

Deep inside a villa, there was a small courtyard behind the wall while the entrance was heavily guarded.

In the middle of the courtyard a young yet majestic figure could be seen seated on a table... a dining table while having his lunch.

Two figures could be seen standing behind him and one at his right hand was kneeling on the ground.

"So... are you saying, there is a Zahrah region lord without any background waiting in our guest hall to surrender?"

"Yes, Your Imperial Highness."

The young figure was none other than Su Yuhan and the one kneeling was Malkam.

"Let me know more about him."

Malkam without any lies said everything he knew.

"Hmmm... Interesting." After a minute of pondering he continued

"Alright, send him here."

Not to mention Malkam, even the two figures behind him were stunned.

After all Su Yuhan was having his lunch. How could a 'lowly' region lord make an Imperial Prince disturb his lunch?

"Your Imperial Highness, there is no need to rush. You can take your time even if it takes few hours. It's his honor to serve you."

Malkam said in a hurried tone, part flattering, part he believed what he said was truth.

After all he was an empire's prince!

"I don't want to repeat once again."

After a few seconds of silence Su Yuhan squinted his eyes at the kneeling figure and said.

Feeling the pressure, Malkam immediately understood his mistake and apologized

"I-I apologize for overstepping my boundaries."

Su Yuhan said nothing, just waving his hands.

Malkam quickly left to bring the region lord.

Meanwhile Feng Xian, standing behind Su Yuhan opened his mouth multiple times to say something, but in the end he kept quiet. (A/N1)

After three minutes of silence Malkam arrived once again, but this time with a white robed guy.

The white robed guy emitted an aura of a scholar; one could not think of this guy as a cultivator, much less a region lord.

The figure, unlike Malkam didn't kneel. He cupped his fist and bowed politely to the young man sitting on the table.

This was him showing respect not to his background, but to his strength.

Malkam was furious seeing this but before he could say anything Su Yuhan waved his hand indicating him to leave them alone.

Malkam stood up and glared at the figure before walking away.

That glare indicating him not to do something stupid.

After another few seconds of silence Su Yuhan started the conversation

"So you are Liu Zhengnan, huh."

Yes the one who came to meet him was none other than Liu Zhengnan! (A/N2)

"Yes, Your Imperial Highness."

Liu Zhengnan said with a slight smile on his face.

".... I heard almost everything from Malkam but I want to hear from you as well."

"Why someone like you, who didn't rely on any big powers till date, suddenly wanted to surrender?... And why me?"

This was the same question Kylo had asked him.

[It's just Kylo give me a much more dangerous feeling.]

Remembering his crazy eyes he inwardly shuddered before composing himself and answering once again

"There have been influx of many strong cultivators; from known and unknown backgrounds in this province."

"If Malkam said anything above me, then you might be informed of my instincts."

"And my instincts are saying some big event is going to happen in this province."

"As for surrendering to His Imperial Highness, to be honest, I don't know any other power bigger than you."

He didn't say it was his instincts which led him to surrender to Su Yuhan.

After all this was his first time meeting and he didn't know if Su Yuhan had any treasures or formation set up to detect any lies.

In fact he was thinking too much. Su Yuhan didn't care what 'small fries' of this province do. He was simply curious.

Su Yuhan nodded his head and continued to ask

"So are you sure you want to surrender to me? Once you do there is no turning back."

By this time he stopped eating and looked at the long haired man with his deep brown eyes.

Liu Zhengnan took a deep breath before kneeling on one knee and saying

"Yes Your Imperial Highness, I sincerely wish to follow the Su Empire through life and death."

(Author Note 1:- Feng Xian, is the burly bodyguard who appeared first at Chap 38. Then at chap 103 one of the two guys who visited Eva along with Su Yuhan... not the Duke's son.)

(Author Note 2:- Welp, I don't think people would forget him anytime soon... still his first appearance in chap 5, leader of a small clan. Then came to Kylo at 92 to surrender.)

(Author Rants:- There'll be little changes in greetings.

Earlier when meeting an empire lineage they were greeted with "Your Royal Highness". From now I'll change it into "Your Imperial Highness"; "Your Royal Majesty" to "Your Imperial Majesty".

Same goes with the Holy empires... Not that any have been introduced till date xD.

Greetings for the kingdom lineage remains the same)
