Chapter 1916: Chapter 177: Who Could Withstand Such a Trial? (Part 2)
"Well... I’m afraid he hardly cares about sanctions." Yuan Xiuyuan sighed with a headache, "But it’s hard to say, let’s try, maybe he’s out of his mind? But the problem is, how old is that kid? How much money could he have?"
"Just write it when you’re told, why all the nonsense?"
"Yes, yes, I’m going to write it right now."
Amidst all the hustle and bustle, time passed without notice.
Princess Su Yun, who was experienced, handled matters at a very fast pace. She still worked until afternoon before she could take a temporary pause.
She tossed the last stack of documents to Wu Yinghao, who was beside her, and took a deep breath. She picked up her lukewarm coffee and took a sip, immediately feeling relaxed and rejuvenated.
Coffee, as she heard, had only become popular in the Immortal Dynasty in recent years. What she had on hand was a special gift from Hua Rui.
When she first started drinking it, she thought it was terrible, but after drinking it more, she found it was indeed effective for dispelling fatigue and boosting energy, especially during work.
After a cup of coffee, the mental exhaustion dissipated significantly, and she suddenly recalled something: "By the way, how are Wang Licui, Wang Ying Xuan, and those little girls doing? Are they still causing trouble?"
The "Acting Mansion Master" of the Princess Mansion, Wu Yinghao, was sorting through the processed documents nearby and responded casually: "Your Highness, why are you bothered with those little brats?"
"After all, they are just kids. Although they were a bit rebellious initially, after witnessing the prowess of the veterans and generals in the army, they’ve gradually calmed down. They are now being trained according to the bloodline standards. I specifically set a strict assessment standard for them, so they have a lot to practice for~ After the novelty wears off, I’ll send them back on the logistics ship, so they can at least say they’ve been to the outer battlefield."
He had seen many of these "young elites" sneaking to the outer battlefield like this.
Especially those from the Imperial Yuan Family and the Overquality Prominent Families, and the First Grade family kids—each with an ego as high as the sky, thinking they’re exceptional, always assuming they can perform better than those "adults" on the battlefield.
But the battlefield is no playground for them. Once they truly step onto the battlefield and see its brutality firsthand, after suffering enough, they naturally calm down.
"Make sure you keep a close eye on them for me." Princess Su Yun rubbed her temples, "I’ve heard they’re not to be trifled with. This period of calm is likely them plotting something behind the scenes."
"Each of them is exceptionally talented, pivotal to the future of the human race. We cannot afford to lose even one."
"Don’t worry, Your Highness. They’re just a few little brats not even two hundred years old; I’ll handle them with ease." Wu Yinghao said with a smile, "I’m watching them, ensuring they won’t cause any ripples."
"That’s good. I don’t have time to entertain them during this period, so let them make the most of their time in training camp." Princess Su Yun breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Wu Yinghao was her top confidant and staff officer, cultivated diligently by the Wu Family of the Cold Moon, and even a Void Realm seed. His handling of matters was indeed reassuring.
...
Meanwhile, the group of Wang Licui, being thought about by Princess Su Yun, was blocked at the entrance of the new recruits’ training camp of the Immortal No.3 Fortress.
Standing before the four was a door guard resembling a Black Iron Tower.
He had a square face, expressionless, with muscles tightly knotted all over his body, standing still like an immobile statue.
This door guard was a Purple Abode Realm horizontal body cultivator, known for his brute strength. It was said he’d once killed an alien demon of the same level barehanded on the battlefield.
"The gloomy, baffled, muscle-bound door guard uncle who smells a bit odd, we just want to go out to buy something..." Wan’er, dressed in a cute style, was batting her big eyes, trying to charm the door guard, "We’ll be back in two hours, I beg you."
The door guard’s cheek muscles twitched.
He didn’t even know how much restraint he exercised to not squash this little girl with one punch.
Even if you’re trying to charm me, could you be a bit more professional? Are you sure you’re not trying to provoke me?
"Wan’er, I’ve already told you, this uncle here is obviously a gentleman, not someone who can be tempted by beauty." Wang Licui pulled Lan Wan’er aside and then mysteriously took out a gigantic unknown bird leg.
Clearly, whoever roasted it had great skill, as the bird leg was glistening and fragrant.
Wang Licui held up the bird leg obsequiously to the Black Iron Tower, saying, "Uncle, as long as you let us out, this Level Seven bird leg is yours."
This bird leg was her favorite, and she usually wouldn’t spare it.
It’s clear she’s going all out to get out.
Is that it?
The Black Iron Tower door guard was filled with black lines.
Am I the fool who would break military rules for a bite to eat? Which door guard can’t withstand such tests?
"Sister Wang Licui, not everyone is as irresistibly tempted by food as you are," Zhang Huaibing seemed to anticipate this, promptly pushing Wang Licui to the side, and covertly handing a pouch filled with middle-grade Spirit Stones to the guard, throwing him a knowing wink.
"You guys are too much!" The Black Iron Tower door guard painfully declined, "I’ve already heard from Leader Yinghao. To promote me, the higher-ups will send someone to test my character! Scram, all of you scram, I absolutely won’t..."
