Chapter 1856: Chapter 1856 Thrown Into Military Troops
Ye Liuyun confirmed, "Absolutely! When training or battling, she will be safer sporting this armour. I will feel better this way!"
He Lianqiang couldn’t hold back his praise for Ye Liuyun, "Indeed, a sixth-grade armour is secure enough to save her life! Never would I have expected you to spend so generously when wooing girls! "
Ye Liuyun then handed over the fifth-grade blade to He Lianxiu, insisting she keep it.
Afterwards, Ye Liuyun said, “The banquet’s over. I should head back now.”
“No, you should escort her home!” He Lianqiang reminded Ye Liuyun.
"You both are already engaged, there’s no need to be shy! You can stay at her place tonight, I wouldn’t mind!" He Lianqiang teased with a mischievous grin.
Ye Liuyun was oblivious to his insinuation, and stated, "I don’t even know where she lives!”
"She knows. Or you can take her back to your place? Anyway, she’s already married off, I’ve no reason to worry!" After saying this, He Lianqiang immediately turned around and left him.
If he stayed any longer, he worried he would be tempted to grab the gilded armour and try it on for himself.
Ye Liuyun was helpless and could only escort He Lianxiu out of the banquet hall.
Meanwhile, He Lianxiu continued to ask him in disbelief. "Is this really for me? I don’t need to take it off?"
"It’s true. Just keep it on!" Ye Liuyun reaffirmed her once again.
"Then I’m going to sleep in it tonight!" He Lianxiu stated.
"Suit yourself!" Ye Liuyun said, feeling slightly irritated.
Fortunately, He Lianxiu knew the way to her home. Ye Liuyun escorted her along the way, and she seemed to have sobered up.
Upon seeing Ye Liuyun arrive at her residence, she looked somewhat flustered.
She wasn’t sure what to say, so she asked. "You didn’t eat much during the banquet. Do you want something to eat?"
"No, I’m good. I’ve completed my task by escorting you home. I should be going now," Ye Liuyun promptly bid farewell.
Before he left, he advised He Lianxiu, "You shouldn’t flaunt this garment too much. I’m afraid you will be targeted."
"Mmhm..." He Lianxiu nodded repeatedly to show she understood.
"Also, I am planning to return to Lotherland tomorrow. You should pack up too. Come to me when you are done, we’ll leave then."
"Yes!" He Lianxiu agreed again.
Ye Liuyun returned to his house to cultivate without bothering to clarify whether or not she truly understood him.
The items sent by Prince Liang were all handed to Lan Xin to sort out. He picked out the unnecessary ones, planning to exchange them after he got to Lotherland.
To avoid having to listen to her bitter speech, he was also reluctant to meet Xuan Yuanling.
He Lianxiu, however, spent the entire night in excitement, lying on the bed in the new outfit, occasionally hopping up to alter its hue and style in front of the mirror.
She even tested the quality of the garments by chopping at the hem with her fifth-level blade.
She kept her busy all through the night, and as soon as the dawn broke, she dressed up in her military uniform and headed out to find Ye Liuyun along with five other female soldiers.
"You are here so early? Have you packed all your things?" Ye Liuyun didn’t expect her to come so early.
"I’ve had everything packed a long time ago!" He Lianxiu answered.
"Did you wear all your clothes under this armour?" Ye Liuyun asked again.
"Yes, thank you! This is the most precious gift I’ve received in my lifetime!" He Lianxiu commented.
"Your forthcoming military career will be the most satisfying thing in your life," Ye Liuyun responded with a chuckle. "I’ll leave you all in the military camp and won’t bother with you after I bring you all to Lotherland. Additionally, you must conceal your identities."
"Alright! We’re all prepared," He Lianxiu and the other female soldiers nodded in agreement.
"Let’s go!" Without any further hesitation, Ye Liuyun led them out of the Prince’s mansion. He summoned his flying vessel and headed straight back to Lotherland.
"You do have a lot of nice things! Is this a sixth-level vessel as well?" He Lianxiu displayed her astute observation. Her privileged upbringing had trained her to be familiar with the finer things.
"It’s necessary! As for my other belongings, I don’t have many left," Ye Liuyun admitted without hesitation.
Following this, He Lianxiu took an interest in asking about the military training and battlefield conditions, trying to learn more about the military camp.
She knew that if she wanted Ye Liuyun to interact more, she would have to bring up topics he was interested in.
As expected, Ye Liuyun was happy to talk about these matters, he even shared many stories from the border battlefields.
"If I die in battle, would you be sad?" He Lianxiu suddenly asked.
Ye Liuyun was taken aback but didn’t answer her question. "Nobody can guarantee they will always live, me included. The only way to survive is to do our best to enhance our strength."
"Do you have any more defensive armour? What level is it? You gave me this armour, so what about you?" He LIanxiu asked with her worried eyes.
She reckoned that Ye Liuyun would be facing much more danger than he told her.
"I have quite a few sets of both fifth and sixth-level armour! My armour tends to take quite a beating and they often become useless after a few months," Ye Liuyun said, trying to reassure her with a smile.
"You must encounter danger often." Upon hearing what he said, Helian Xiu grew worried.
Ye Liuyun could only console her, "It’s alright, I’m used to it."
"I should return you this armour!" He Lianxiu said.
"No, keep it! And don’t bring it up again!" Ye Liuyun declined directly.
"Oh." Seeing the impatience in Ye Liuyun’s tone, He Lianxiu did not persist.
She wasn’t aware that Ye Liuyun himself already owned another gilded armour.
Neither did anyone else. Simply having one of these items was already remarkable, nobody would have expected him to have so many of them.
Besides, Ye Liuyun rarely flaunted them. Normally, he would don a fifth-level armour to go about his day.
Ye Liuyun’s flying vessel was swift. Upon returning to Lotherland, he dropped off He Lianxiu and her party at the military camp.
Then he had Xiao Yunfang and Yu Xiaofeng to explain things to them.
"Assign He Lianxiu and the others to Yu Xiaofeng’s team and act as though you don’t know them. Xiao Yunfang, try not to talk to her much, treat her as a regular soldier."
"What if they encounter danger during combat?" Yu Xiaofeng asked with concern.
"She has a sixth-level armour on, don’t worry about her." Ye Liuyun stated directly.
"You gave her your armour?" Xiao Yunfang caught on.
"I had no choice, Prince Liang gave me too many gifts."
Ye Liuyun explained briefly. He then relayed the events during his trip to Yu Xiaofeng and Xiao Yunfang.
He didn’t share the entire God Realm map with them, only parts of the west, south, and border areas.
"Prince Liang’s ambition is not small!" Both Yu Xiaofeng and Xiaoyunfang commented in surprise.
Ye Liuyun stated, "Anyway, our forecasts align with our initial target to fight the border battleground. We should prioritize cooperation and monitor how things go. If everything is ideal, we will continue with the cooperation!"
