Early the next morning, as the children played in the yard, a team of ice knights rode up to the outside of the Ice Castle, followed by the cultivator in black.
Jiang Xiaobai walked over and clasped his hands in greeting.
"Welcome, brothers. May I ask what brings you here?"
The leading ice knight showed his badge and said, "We are knights of the Ice Emperor, inspecting the Polar region on behalf of the Ice Emperor. Someone has accused you of occupying his territory, and the Ice Emperor has ordered us to investigate the matter."
What needed to happen was bound to happen. Jiang Xiaobai didn't expect them to arrive so quickly.
"Please come in," Jiang Xiaobai replied.
The cultivator in black stepped forward and said, "Knight sir, this is my residency permit issued by the Ice Emperor. When I received the permit, this place was an unclaimed territory, so I settled here. However, for many years, I have been focusing on cultivation, hidden beneath the ice."
