54: You are called here to do hard labor!

Li Shengyuan and Shen Xinrong left the Grand Secretarys Courtyard side by side. When he arrived at the assembly point in front of the Town Demon Bureau for the northern border, more than a hundred people were already standing there.

There weren't many people, but among those heading to the northern border, the lowest cultivation level was Seventh-Grade.

This strength might not be much in the capital, but in some remote areas, calling them minor experts would be no exaggeration!

"Lord Li is here!"

With a shout, everyone noticed Li Shengyuan, who was dressed in a Golden Uniform uniform.

Since he was going to perform official duties, he naturally had to dress formally.

Princess Pingyang, also in a Black Uniform Zhen Mo Shi uniform, stood beside the three Golden Uniform. Seeing Li Shengyuan and Shen Xinrong approach, her eyes immediately lit up.

However, due to being in public, it was not appropriate to go up and greet him directly.

She could only watch his figure with sparkling beautiful eyes, and then quietly stood beside Li Shengyuan.

As his military registrar, she naturally had to follow her Lord at all times.

What she didn't expect was that Shen Xinrong had also come. Princess Pingyang couldn't help but pout slightly, thinking she could finally escape her Imperial Sister's sight and have a world for two with Li Gege!

In response, Shen Xinrong disdainfully curled her lips, secretly thinking he was a hypocrite. She had long since discovered the unusual relationship between the two of them; privately, he called her 'Sweetheart' with such sweetness!

Li Shengyuan smiled slightly at her, then looked at the three Golden-robed Demon Suppressors leading the group: Liu Zhen, Zhang Mang, and Zhao Shanhe, who had just returned from the Western Regions. He smiled at them and said:

"Brother Zhen, is everyone here?"

"Everyone arrived long ago, we were just waiting for you, Imperial Envoy!" Liu Zhen rolled his eyes.

Li Shengyuan smiled. The big shot always appears last.

Then, he looked apologetically at the tall and slender Zhao Shanhe, "The mission is urgent, I summoned you back from the Western Regions overnight, and you're leaving without rest. I can only compensate you when we return."

Zhao Shanhe's stiff face showed a smile uglier than a cry, "It's fine, we're brothers, as long as I can help you."

"That's good, but maybe you shouldn't smile anymore."

Zhao Shanhe's stiff smile immediately disappeared, replaced by the appearance of a cool, aloof male god.

Li Shengyuan truly felt that Zhao Shanhe's expressionless demeanor was genuinely cool!

Because his smile was truly unappealing...

This also caused him to truly dislike smiling!

Only when he was with a few people he was familiar with, like Li Shengyuan, would he occasionally smile, and even if Li Shengyuan teased him, he wouldn't get angry.

Because he was already used to it.

However, he was truly dependable towards friends and brothers. Compared to Zhang Mang, Li Shengyuan was more willing to entrust his back to him.

Li Shengyuan surveyed the crowd present but did not see that familiar figure, and couldn't help but ask in confusion:

"Where are those guys from Imperial Observatory? Haven't they arrived yet?"

"They've arrived..."

Liu Zhen replied, but before he could say where they were, Li Shengyuan heard a mechanical laugh.

"Heh..."

As the first sound fell, a ripple of a formation spread above everyone's heads.

Immediately after, a flying boat, a hundred zhang long, appeared, casting a shadow over everyone's heads, followed by a second laugh.

"Heh..."

Everyone looked up and saw a figure in a white robe standing at the highest point of the flying boat, with his hands behind his back, facing away from them.

"Li Shengyuan..."

"You..."

Looking at the back of the figure on top of the flying boat, Li Shengyuan sighed helplessly in his heart. This guy is here again...

Ignoring him, Li Shengyuan waved his hand at the curious crowd, who were waiting for further instructions, and said:

"Everyone, board the flying boat!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Shengyuan, along with Shen Xinrong, Princess Pingyang, and several Golden Uniform, lightly leaped onto the hundred-zhang flying boat that was casting a shadow over the sky!

Although Shen Xinrong was not familiar with Ye Hangzhou, she had seen him a few times. Seeing that imposing back, she knew he was the second Chancellor of Imperial Observatory, the genius Warlock Ye Hangzhou!

It was said that this person was so formidable that even when His Majesty spoke to him, he disdained to reply!

After Li Shengyuan ordered the Demon Suppression Division personnel to leave, only a few Golden-robed Demon Suppressors remained.

Shen Xinrong tugged at Li Shengyuan's robe and whispered, "Shengyuan, Ye Hangzhou is, after all, the second Chancellor of Imperial Observatory and the Chancellor's disciple. Isn't it a bit impolite for us to act this way?"

Li Shengyuan, however, said indifferently, "It's fine. This person left his vocal cords at home. Just ignore him on this trip to the northern border. If you really try to chat with him, you won't get more than a few sentences out in an hour. It's a pure waste of time!"

Shen Xinrong felt completely bewildered. Princess Pingyang knew a little, but having little contact with Ye Hangzhou, she was also only half-informed.

Liu Zhen and the others were also extremely confused by what Li Shengyuan said. Although they had a good relationship with Li Shengyuan.

But they still feared this second Chancellor of Imperial Observatory. He was a genuine Third-Grade!

Even if a Warlock wasn't skilled in combat, a Third-Grade killing a Fourth-Grade was a very simple matter!

And at this moment, a white-robed figure suddenly teleported in front of everyone.

However, he was facing away from them.

The Demon Suppression Division personnel were instantly startled, then bowed to him.

"Greetings, Second Chancellor!"

On this flying boat, besides the Imperial Envoy Li Shengyuan, the most important person was Ye Hangzhou.

A Third-Grade expert was someone who could never be offended.

Then they curiously scrutinized him. Since he was facing away, they probably wouldn't be able to see anything, right?

Ye Hangzhou, however, said word by word: "You... (pauses for ten breaths) being slow is one thing... (pauses for one hundred breaths)"

Everyone looked at his back with curiosity and anticipation, but this speaking speed gradually eroded everyone's anticipation.

Instead, they looked at him with tingling scalps. If this person wasn't Ye Hangzhou, they would really want to go up and tap his head, asking, "What exactly do you want to say?"

Li Shengyuan, unusually, did not urge Ye Hangzhou. Compared to the increasingly agitated crowd, he appeared much calmer.

He was already used to it...

At this moment, Ye Hangzhou finally spoke his second sentence:

"And... (pauses for ten breaths)

Impolite..."

"Are you done?" Li Shengyuan looked expressionlessly at Ye Hangzhou's back.

Ye Hangzhou did not reply, but merely nodded slightly.

Li Shengyuan gave no face to this Third-Grade expert of his, ordering him:

"If you're done, then quickly pilot the flying boat. If I listen to you any longer, we won't leave today, and His Majesty will be displeased!"

This time, Ye Hangzhou finally turned around, looking at Li Shengyuan with resentful eyes. Everyone finally saw his true face up close for the first time.

"What are you looking at? Do you think I called you here to sightsee?"

Facing Ye Hangzhou's resentful gaze, Li Shengyuan remained calm, openly stating his true purpose.

"I called you here to be a laborer! I know your Imperial Observatory's flying boats are big and fast, much better than the Demon Suppression Division's old antiques!"

"This big flying boat is a new one, isn't it? Who made it, you?"

Li Shengyuan spoke without reservation, while Shen Xinrong, Princess Pingyang, Liu Zhen, and the others behind him listened with wide eyes.

"You..."

"'You' what 'you'? Why are you glaring at me? I'm bullying you because you speak slowly!"
