35: Chapter 35 Master and Disciple Both

In the end, even Liu Hongyi had fallen.

Watching Liu Hongyi walk out of the room, Hua Tong giggled twice.

"Master, I didn't expect that even you couldn't resist the temptation of the Spirit Medicine."

Beside her, Senior Sister Mi Tiantian also laughed along.

When the three of them were together, they were no different from ordinary sisters, so they didn't really stand on ceremony when they spoke.

Stuffing the Spirit Fruit in her hand into her mouth, Liu Hongyi looked serious.

"What Spirit Fruit? Your husband and I are in true love."

"I think your husband is someone worth entrusting my life to."

The corners of Hua Tong and the other's mouths twitched.

Why did those two sentences sound so awkward?

"Also, from now on, we must follow the rules of the family," Liu Hongyi continued.

"The family has always followed the order of seniority, and we cannot be an exception."

"In the future, you call me Master, and I will call you older sisters. Let's just keep our own separate titles."

Liu Hongyi looked earnest.

The two across from her were completely stunned.

Although their Master had always been unreliable in their hearts, they now realized they had underestimated her before.

Just as the two were dazed, Liu Hongyi had already started calling out obediently.

"Sister Tong Tong, Sister Tiantian!"

The two were completely dumbfounded.

But Yuan Chen would be unable to see this frozen scene.

The National War was less than a month away from starting.

The experts coming to help had mostly arrived, so the Great Yan Dynasty specifically gathered everyone together.

First, to thank everyone for coming to help.

Second, to allow the many experts to get to know each other in advance so that they could cooperate effectively when the war started, preventing incidents of friendly fire.

Such blunders had actually happened in the past.

Of course, it was also possible that there were existing conflicts between the two sides, and they were just using this opportunity to intentionally create friction.

To them, the National War was no different from a trial arena.

But while they didn't care, the Great Yan Dynasty certainly could not afford to be indifferent.

Therefore, a meeting would be organized before every start to prevent anyone from using this excuse to disrupt the order of the National War.

If such things happened then, it would be difficult for Ancestor Huoyun and the others to handle, but the Sect could always provide an explanation.

Every time they requested the Sect to preside over the National War, regardless of who won, half of the national fortune obtained had to be sent to the Sect.

Their reputation had to be established.

Third, to assign tasks for the upcoming time.

Basically, the experts who came only had two tasks: protect the high-ranking generals of the army from being beheaded, or head to the enemy country to carry out decapitation strikes.

Yuan Chen and Luo Li headed to the imperial palace together.

Although Luo Li could not participate in the National War, any expert who led a team was invited.

As for Zhao Yaya, who also wanted to participate, she had returned to Zhao Zhong's side a few days ago.

Today, she would be going with Zhao Zhong.

To thank everyone who came, the royal family had specifically set up a large square in front of the imperial palace.

When Yuan Chen and the others arrived, quite a few people were already at the square.

Besides Cultivators, there were also many princes and nobles.

Unlike the lively conversation of the former, every prince and noble looked grave.

They only forced a smile when chatting with Cultivators.

The mentalities of the two sides were completely different.

Even if the Cultivators who came to assist failed, they would at most be detained by the other side, and after the matter ended, they would return home.

It was rare for them to perish.

But it was different for them.

If they failed this time, not only would they suffer, but not a single one of their family members would escape either.

Yuan Chen also understood the mood of these people.

He had no leisure to go up and chat, so he quietly walked to his designated seat.

The seating areas were already divided.

At the very front were some experts leading teams.

Further back were the reinforcements participating in the National War and some powerful general-Cultivators of the Great Yan Dynasty.

The area at the very back consisted of some civil officials, low-ranking military officers, and some Cultivators who came spontaneously from the public.

However, the strength of the Cultivators who came from the public was generally very low.

Not even one was above the Golden Core Stage.

Outside the square, a large number of commoners had arrived, each waving at the generals they recognized in the square.

Their faces were filled with pride, believing that their country would surely achieve victory.

Luo Li separated from Yuan Chen and walked to the front position.

Yuan Chen found a corner and sat down, boredly eating the fruits and pastries on the table.

Although mortal food lacked Spiritual Qi, the taste was still quite good.

Zhao Yaya had not arrived yet, so Yuan Chen ate snacks alone while observing his companions around him.

At this moment, the reinforcements had reached nearly two hundred people.

Basically, they were all at the Early Stage of the Golden Core Stage.

Except for...

Yuan Chen looked at a woman in armor at the opposite corner.

The woman had her hair tied up high and looked heroic.

However, observing her cultivation, she was only at the Middle Stage of the Innate.

She must have exceptionally outstanding talent in commanding armies, which is why she could appear in this area, right?

Yuan Chen guessed to himself.

This woman was somewhat different from the other women; her sitting posture was rigid and proper, and even when speaking with Cultivators, she was neither humble nor arrogant, attracting many men to go and strike up a conversation.

Among the two hundred people, there were seventy or eighty female Cultivators.

Only two could be considered beautiful.

This female general was one of them.

There was another one sitting in a corner.

This area had four corners.

Yuan Chen and these two each occupied one.

However, unlike the female general, no one was harassing the woman.

It wasn't because she looked worse than the female general.

It was because no one could discern her strength.

Facing such a woman of unknown identity, no one dared to step forward to harass her.

It would be bad to offend her.

Yuan Chen curiously took a few more looks.

"Eh!" He exclaimed in surprise.

She was actually a hybrid.

In Yuan Chen's line of sight, a white fox phantom appeared behind her, and then it switched freely between human and fox.

In this situation, it seemed one parent was human and the other was a fox demon.

He wrinkled his nose.

He didn't smell any stench, so it seemed she was a fox demon who Cultivated the Righteous Path.

After thinking for a moment, Yuan Chen stood up.

He would naturally take the initiative to pursue beautiful women.

There were too many people around the female general, so he would go strike up a conversation later.

Let that group of men get excited first.

Then he would descend from the sky... Hehe!

Thinking this, he arrived in front of the white fox.

"Hello there!"

In the front area, Bai Nian frowned.

Her husband was a contemporary of Ancestor Huoyun.

This country could be said to have been built by Ancestor Huoyun and her husband together.

But her husband was only a strategist, and his talent for Cultivation was truly too poor.

He passed away in just a short hundred years.

In the end, he only left behind a Bai Ning to be given to her.

Hearing this time that the Great Yan Dynasty was in trouble, and remembering her husband, she could not bear to see her husband's lifeblood destroyed, so Bai Nian brought her daughter over.

Who would have thought?

Not long after she sat down, a daring brat went up to her.

Just as she was feeling dissatisfied...

A pleasant voice came from beside her.

"Is that young lady your daughter? She is so beautiful!"

The tool—Luo Li.
