Protect Our Clan Leader

The Hundred Refinements True Monarch took a pause, turning around to gaze at her.

"Let's find a place to have a drink." Queen Lan Xin tucked the loose hair by her temple behind her ear, her charming face slightly flushed, "Don't misunderstand me; I just want to thank you for your gift. Also, I owe you an apology."

"All right."

The Hundred Refinements True Monarch gladly agreed.

Soon, the two of them left the venue together.

Watching them gradually disappear down the shaded path, Yao Chengchao, left alone, stared blankly, plunged into profound bewilderment.

At this moment, his mind was filled with a single thought: Who am I, where am I, what am I supposed to do?

...

This matchmaking event was the most efficient and successful one to date, bringing together countless young couples, giving them a chance to unite.

As the romantic atmosphere between the disciples of the Hundred Refinement Hall and the Spirit Plant Masters from the Hundred Herb Garden grew thicker, even Queen Lan Xin gradually succumbed to the gentle advances of the Hundred Refinements True Monarch, preparing for a twilight romance.

However, what left Princess Su Yun speechless was that those straightforward men from the Hundred Refinements were quite "capable"; not only did they successfully win over beauties in love, but they also took the lead in business, always pondering how great the East Qian Country is these days, and expressing a desire to see different scenery during their romantic discussions.

Over time, the young Spirit Plant Master girls were also "brainwashed," all expressing their wish to travel to East Qian and experience it firsthand.

Princess Su Yun lost this battle miserably, losing both her lady and the military.

Meanwhile,

The first batch of Black Armor shipped to the Immortal Dynasty's "Sky-Port" through Yao's Air Transport finally completed all procedures, obtaining entry and trade permits, and was transferred by land to the Black Armor Division.

This day marked the inspection of the quality of Black Armor produced by the Wang family.

In the Black Armor Division,

The warehouse storing the Black Armor was brightly illuminated.

Large wooden crates specially designed for Black Armor were neatly stacked in designated areas, with clear lanes left for people to walk through, orderly and distinctly defined.

A hundred thousand sets of Black Armor are no small quantity; even after careful planning and stacking, they still occupy a large area. Although the rune lamps inside the warehouse were all turned on, the parts close to the ground remained dimly lit, reminiscent of walking through a dense forest.

At this moment,

Princess Su Yun, the King of Zhennan who is the Minister of the Divine Soldier Department, Director Zhao Xiqing of the Black Armor Division, Commandant Liu of the Sky Artisan Division, Wang Ningxi from the Changning Wang Clan, along with Pei Xin'an who had formally submitted his resignation to the Sky Artisan Division, and a group of elite Artifact Refiners including the Hundred Refinements True Monarch, were all gathered together.

Of course, among them was Princess Hua Rui, who had specially come to witness the spectacle.

This time, she was pulled by Zhao Xiqing to stay beside her in a protective and caring manner.

After all, Hua Rui's mother was one of the direct twin lineage ladies from the Zhao Clan, their kinship made closeness natural.

"Your Highness, the Eldest Princess." Commandant Liu respectfully saluted, "This batch of Black Armor is intended for military supplies on the extraterrestrial battlefield. And the soldiers on the extraterrestrial battlefield are fighting to protect the human race; we must be more responsible towards them. Therefore, I believe this batch of Black Armor should be verified to the highest standard."

Upon mentioning this matter,

Princess Su Yun's eyes immediately became serious.

The quality of the Black Armor concerns the lives of the soldiers, and she certainly wouldn't allow anyone to neglect their duties on this matter.

However, this matter was initiated by the King of Zhennan in the Divine Soldier Department; not only is it within his scope of responsibility, but he is also her elder, so it's ultimately inappropriate for her to act overbearingly.

She promptly looked at the King of Zhennan and said, "Old Ancestor Xiayang, you decide this matter."

"Ha~" The King of Zhennan smiled nonchalantly, "With the Eldest Princess present, how could I, Yun Xiayang, have a say? Her Highness the Eldest Princess can inspect as she pleases."

While speaking, the King of Zhennan glanced at Commandant Liu with a trace of amusement.

Commandant Liu is an official subordinate to the Divine Soldier Department; he naturally knows him well.

This person hails from the Third Grade Liu Clan, with capabilities to match, and his loyalty to the Immortal Dynasty is evident. But his entire family are but followers of Princess Su Yun, even their family's most outstanding elites serving as staff officers in her mansion.

Of course, this is not unreasonable. After all, Princess Su Yun is the princess most likely to ascend the throne, and people tend to move upwards like water flows downwards.

"Old Ancestor Xiayang, Su Yun means no offence to you, nor to the Wang family." Princess Su Yun quickly explained sincerely, seeing that the King of Zhennan's tone was a bit off, "It's just that this is the first collaboration between the Changning Wang Clan and the Divine Soldier Department, and the first order is such a substantial one, so caution is warranted. At least, it can urge the Wang family to pay more attention to quality. The Black Armor issue concerns the lives of the soldiers; it's not something to joke about."

"You, Su Yun, are a princess responsible for overseeing the realm on behalf of His Majesty, handling both big and small affairs. How dare I have any opinion?" The King of Zhennan's smile peeled away to reveal a non-smiling gesture. "Inspect thoroughly then, to ensure there are no shady transactions between myself and the Changning Wang Clan."

It was quite evident that the King of Zhennan was extremely displeased with this matter.

Especially since Commandant Liu had secretly invited Princess Su Yun to oversee the inspection work, which made him even more dissatisfied. That's openly questioning his integrity, suggesting he jokes with the soldiers' lives, isn't it?
