Jun Yao: "..."
’He’s cursing me this harshly. It seems Father is truly furious.’
But for the sake of the bigger picture, he couldn’t appease him.
"Once I break through to my Peak Period, I’ll return immediately to fulfill our deal. Father, take care."
With that said, he turned and left.
The ship’s door closed once more. Watching his retreating figure, Huo Shenming sighed helplessly.
Inside the Domain.
When Jun Yao returned, she was still sound asleep. Her sleeping face was exceptionally peaceful, her delicate features showing no hint of gloom.
He reached out, gently stroking her temple, then leaned down and placed a kiss on her lips, whispering in a low, hushed voice.
"You’re happy by my side too, aren’t you?"
The sleeping woman naturally didn’t answer him, but he didn’t mind. He watched her quietly for a moment, then turned and vanished.
After quickly packing his things, Jun Yao left the ship, planning to say goodbye to Qin Chuan and Luo Feng.
Ostensibly, the two were his subordinates, but in private, their relationship was more like that of friends and brothers.
When he had first arrived, there was much he didn’t understand and many difficulties he encountered. He had overcome them all thanks to their unreserved help.
Within the legion, they were the ones closest to him, aside from Huo Shenming.
"Young Master??"
Qin Chuan and Luo Feng, dressed in crisp military uniforms, were heading outside when they saw him approaching from a distance and couldn’t help but falter for a moment.
Then, they quickened their pace and walked up to him.
Seeing him in civilian clothes, the two looked him up and down curiously. "Young Master, why are you in civilian clothes?" they asked.
’There’s a meeting on the flagship. Did the Commander not ask the Young Master to attend?’
"Yes. I have some business that requires me to leave the barracks for a while. Are you free now? There’s something I need to tell you."
Jun Yao replied softly, stopping to look at them.
Hearing this, the two immediately frowned, a flash of astonishment in their eyes. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
"What? The Young Master is leaving the barracks? Does the Commander know?"
"Yes, he knows. I’ve already spoken with the Commander."
’So the Commander actually agreed?’
The two were even more astonished.
’At a critical time like this, how could the Commander let the Young Master leave so easily?’
’The Young Master is the legion’s number one War God. If he’s not here, how can the 21st Legion possibly conquer Feiyun Ridge, which is guarded by several Half-step Ultimate Venerables?’
Qin Chuan’s eyes flashed with anxiety. ’We’d suffer disastrous losses.’
’The 21st Legion is the very elite of the Tiger Clan. If its strength is grievously wounded, the Tiger Clan will fall into complete decline and be erased from the Empire’s records.’
"Why aren’t you saying anything?"
Seeing them silent for so long with strange expressions on their faces, Jun Yao frowned, a thread of doubt rising in his heart.
Luo Feng quickly snapped back to his senses and spoke apologetically.
"Er, apologies, Young Master. Right now, we can’t get away. The Commander has summoned us to discuss important military intelligence. If you’re not in a great hurry, could you wait for us to finish?"
’Important military intelligence??’
’Didn’t the legion just conquer Black Wind Valley? Aren’t we in a rest and reorganization period?’
’The soldiers haven’t recovered their strength yet, so it’s not a good time to continue fighting. The legion has no short-term plans to attack anywhere else. Where would this ’important military intelligence’ come from?’
He frowned and asked, "What intelligence? Why don’t I know about it?"
Qin Chuan and Luo Feng exchanged a look, both of them somewhat surprised.
’The Young Master has been in seclusion for several days since returning from Black Wind Valley, so it’s natural he wouldn’t know about the intelligence. But what surprises us is that the Commander didn’t tell him about something this big.’
"Apologies, Young Master. Military intelligence cannot be disclosed casually. Since the Commander hasn’t told you, please forgive us, but we can’t tell you either. The Commander is still waiting, so we’ll take our leave first."
With that, the two bowed low to Jun Yao, then turned and strode away.
Watching their retreating figures, a solemn look crossed Jun Yao’s eyes.
His intuition told him that his plan to temporarily leave the barracks would likely have to be put on hold.
His Divine Sense followed Qin Chuan and Luo Feng onto military ship 0001. In the spacious conference room, Huo Shenming sat in the commander’s seat with a grave expression, flanked by his young and capable officers.
Once everyone had arrived, Huo Shenming began to speak.
"I’ve called you all here today, and I’m sure you know why. We’ve received a directive from the higher-ups ordering our legion to suspend all operations in the Land of Calamity—"
"And to proceed at top speed to Dawn Ridge and, as quickly as possible, annihilate the bandit group entrenched there."
"I hear this bandit group is quite something. Two months ago, their leader was killed on the spot. The killer became the new leader and renamed the group the Abandoned God’s Army."
"In just two short months, the Abandoned God’s Army has integrated all the gangs in the Wilderness of Forest, large and small, becoming its de facto ruler."
"And their new leader’s cultivation is said to be unfathomably deep—at least at the Half-step Ultimate Venerable Realm. But enough talk. I want to hear your thoughts on encircling and annihilating the Abandoned God’s Army."
Hearing this, Jun Yao finally understood what the so-called "important military intelligence" was.
So, the Abandoned God’s Army had grown so powerful that it made certain people feel threatened, so they had ordered the 21st Legion to go and destroy it.
But what kind of place was Dawn Ridge? freёweɓnovel.com
It was the most dangerous and remote part of the Wilderness of Forest—easy to defend, difficult to attack, and fraught with peril. The terrain’s magnetic fields were also extremely chaotic.
Anyone below the level of an Ultimate Venerable who entered without being familiar with the terrain would never make it out alive, let alone annihilate a group of fierce bandits.
No matter how he looked at it, that military order seemed designed to use the 21st Legion as cannon fodder.
’Could it be that someone in the higher-ups has it out for them?’
In the conference room, everyone was engaged in a heated discussion. Jun Yao quietly withdrew his Divine Sense and returned to his Domain, taking out the military uniform he had put away and changing into it.
After spending so much time with them, he had developed a deep sense of belonging to the Tiger Clan and the 21st Legion. He would never allow anyone to use them as cannon fodder.
Just as he finished changing, he felt a scorching gaze on him.
He turned around to see her leaning against the headboard, watching him, her beautiful eyes filled with a mix of admiration and infatuation.
It was clear that the woman she was now really liked the man he was now.
Jun Yao’s mood brightened, and he couldn’t stop the corners of his lips from curving up. He strode to the bed, bent his long legs to sit beside her, and pulled her into his arms.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Because you’re handsome, of course!"
She looked up at him, praising him without reservation. Her eyes were fixed on him, the fervor within them not diminishing in the slightest.
That white military uniform—crisp, stylish, cool, and handsome—made him look even more captivating when he wore it. At the same time, it gave him a sacred, ascetic aura that made one feel it would be a profanity to defile him.
’Even more handsome than last night!’
Wenwen thought that her past self might have had a serious uniform fetish!
"So, do you like it?"
His eyes were full of mirth, and even his voice had softened considerably. Paired with his pleasant tone, the sound made her ears tingle.
She nodded in a daze, answering with complete honesty, "Of course I do."
"As long as you like it. I’m yours, so you can like me as much as you want!"
