In a magnificent palace!
Seeing the old king again, Ye Cangtian was somewhat surprised. The latter’s health was much better than last time, even his face was ruddy and his spirit was high.
After all, the Saudi royal family was very wealthy; what kind of supplements could they not afford?
So, it was quite normal for the old king to recover so well.
However, Ye Cangtian knew very well that this old king had internal problems. No matter how much he was supplemented, he only had two or three years left at most.
The old king was aware of this.
At this moment, both the old king and Princess Sibiyah were in the palace.
Seeing Ye Cangtian, a hint of joy flashed across Sibiyah’s face, but she quickly concealed it, pouting, "Didn't you say you wouldn't come to the royal family again?"
"Cough, cough, I was joking before!"
Ye Cangtian chuckled. When he left the Saudi royal family last time, he seemed to have indeed said such a thing.
Sibiyah snorted, somewhat reproachfully, "Who allowed you to joke? This is the most sacred hall of the royal family."
Seeing them talking, the old king on the side was overjoyed. "Since Ye Cangtian is our royal family's King Noah, a few jokes are harmless."
He looked at Ye Cangtian and Sibiyah, finding them increasingly compatible. He smiled and said, "However, the title of King Noah is still somewhat unofficial. If you were to get married soon..."
Beside him, Sibiyah’s pretty face instantly turned red.
"Father, why are you talking about this out of the blue!"
"Cough, cough, Your Majesty the King, you know I am a married man..." Ye Cangtian was also awkward. Why was this old king bringing this up again.
"Having a family doesn't affect anything. Isn't my dignified, legitimate royal princess good enough for you?" The old king said with some displeasure.
"No... it's not..." Ye Cangtian’s head felt as big as a bull.
Are these father and daughter obviously trying to lock me down?
Just then, a female guard hurried in and reported, "Your Majesty the King, the High Priest requests an audience!"
Before the old king could speak, Sibiyah beside him showed a look of pleasant surprise. "The High Priest is back? Then quickly invite her in!"
High Priest?
Ye Cangtian was somewhat surprised.
He had naturally heard of the title High Priest and had heard Sibiyah mention multiple times that his status and title as King Noah were almost equivalent to that of the High Priest.
The High Priest held a position second only to His Majesty the King in the Saudi royal family.
Moreover, it was said that this High Priest held a high position in all dynasties of Arab races, which made Ye Cangtian very curious.
Soon, a figure walked in through the grand hall entrance.
Ye Cangtian merely glanced at her and was stunned!
A woman?
And a very beautiful woman at that!
"Sister Shuiyun!"
Sibiyah happily ran over, took her arm, and said affectionately, "I haven't seen you for a long time. If it weren't for Father saying there was danger at the ruins, I would have gone there myself."
The woman named Shuiyun nodded with a smile, but then glanced at Ye Cangtian, looking somewhat surprised. "We have a distinguished guest?"
At this moment, the old king spoke to introduce, "High Priest, this is the King Noah appointed by our royal family. You two can get acquainted!"
So, this was indeed the High Priest? Ye Cangtian was a little surprised.
The other party looked to be in her early thirties, and her appearance was stunning. Even Ye Cangtian, who had seen many women, was momentarily amazed.
The other party wore a white long dress, neither charming nor seductive, but possessed a simple elegance, a sacred beauty!
"Hey, Father is talking to you, what are you thinking about?" Sibiyah said with some dissatisfaction, seeing him spacing out.
Ye Cangtian came back to his senses, smiling. "I didn't expect the High Priest to be so young and beautiful, so I was momentarily distracted! My name is Ye Cangtian, greetings, High Priest."
The High Priest looked at him with surprise and smiled faintly, "I didn't expect that the King Noah, who hasn't been appointed for a hundred years in the Saudi royal family, would be a Chinese person!"
She was somewhat curious. How could this young Chinese man be appointed King Noah? It was truly astonishing.
However, she soon thought of something and asked, "It seems that His Majesty the King's illness can be cured, and it's related to King Noah! May I ask how King Noah cured His Majesty the King?"
The High Priest was indeed very curious, because even she was helpless against the King's illness and could only barely prolong his life.
Since the other party had cured His Majesty the King, it was understandable that he was appointed King Noah!
"Just some minor tricks!"
Ye Cangtian smiled and said no more.
The High Priest gave him a deep look, did not continue to inquire, and turned to the old king. "Your Majesty the King, many forces are lurking near the entrance of the ruins. The royal family may need to strengthen its defenses!"
The news had leaked too quickly, causing the current Saudi ruins, even before they were fully opened, to attract the covetous eyes of countless forces!
The old king also frowned, sighing, "It's hard to defend! These forces have already infiltrated the country, and with enemy nations eyeing us from outside, alas..."
Even Princess Sibiyah looked solemn at this moment.
At this moment, Ye Cangtian suddenly said, "Why defend? If they want to enter the ruins, why not let them in?"
"Why?" The High Priest frowned.
"I don't know if the High Priest has been to the ruins. Do you know what the situation inside is like?" Ye Cangtian asked with a smile.
The High Priest nodded. "Yesterday I led people inside. The place was full of dangers, almost impossible to move forward!"
Ye Cangtian looked at her with surprise. He had only asked casually, but he didn't expect the other party to have actually gone inside.
It seemed that this beautiful priestess was not as simple as she appeared!
"The ruins are fraught with danger. Even if we block off the numerous forces, the royal family would incur enormous losses developing this ruin alone. The gains would not outweigh the losses!"
"Therefore, my suggestion is to unblock rather than block! Let them enter the ruins and clear out all the landmines for us!" Ye Cangtian said with a light smile.
He had also been inside the ruins. Although he hadn't gone too deep, he was well aware of the dangers within.
The High Priest hesitated, "But in this way, wouldn't the resources in the ruins be taken by others?"
"If they have the ability to take them, let them take them!"
Ye Cangtian smiled and looked at the old king. "Does the Saudi royal family lack resources? Do they lack money?"
"No!"
The old king shook his head. The Saudi royal family lacked nothing more than wealth. As for resources, they also did not lack them; they had inexhaustible oil, and other resources could be purchased.
"Then that settles it!"
Ye Cangtian smiled brightly. "These forces, in essence, are all after wealth. Even if there are resources needed by the royal family in the ruins, we can simply buy them when they come out!"
"You can understand it this way: they are equivalent to the workers we hire!"
"King Noah makes sense! What do you think, Sibiyah?" The old king nodded, then looked at his daughter.
Sibiyah also agreed with Ye Cangtian's statement, pondering, "Not to mention whether we can defend them, even if we could defend those forces, we ourselves lack the ability to excavate the ruins!"
"Then let's follow King Noah's suggestion!"
The High Priest nodded slightly, her face showing no reaction.
