Chapter 840

"Lieutenant Liu, is there something you need?"

It wasn't yet quitting time; normally, if Liu Mengyun appeared in his office before quitting, it meant official business.

"The Southeast Military Headquarters sent an invitation, asking one of us to arrive at Zhanghai City within fifteen days to attend the Southeast Youth Talent Beast Tamer Biwu Assembly and deliver an opening speech!"

"What are we going there for? We're not competing!"

Su Yang had no desire to waste time like this.

"Maybe they're impressed by our influence," Liu Mengyun said uncertainly, "or perhaps General Qian thinks the southeastern talents… need a little humbling?"

"How about… you go?"

Liu Mengyun shot back: "If I go back and forth for a month, who will the City Lord stay in Mount Dajiao?"

"Then I'll go!"

Liu Mengyun grumbled: "You should've gone anyway—you've got Void Wandering Spirit, so round-trip takes almost no time!"

"Prepare my speech for me!"

That's the deputy officer's job!

Liu Mengyun nodded: "Fine!"

Quoting time arrived, and Liu Mengyun left precisely on schedule.

Now that operations in Mount Dajiao were running smoothly, she rarely worked overtime.

Xia Na now worked under Liu Mengyun; the two got along reasonably well—at least on the surface.

After leaving the office and just reaching the City Lord's building, Feng Yuanjie quietly gave Su Yang a thumbs-up.

Su Yang acted as if he hadn't seen it; after all, in Mount Dajiao, he was the one in charge.

No one dared spread rumors about him!

By Su Yang's side walked Xue Li and Liu Mengyun.

Both Xue Li and Liu Mengyun wore military uniforms, but each had her own distinct style.

One was eerily beautiful, with blood-red eyes and hair, radiating danger from every pore.

The other was cold and stunning, with black eyes and white hair, exuding icy chill and the aura of a powerful woman.

Both women carried immensely powerful auras—clearly not to be trifled with!

This deterred countless unmarried young ladies in the City Lord's compound who had hoped to court Su Yang.

Before they could even approach him, Xue Li and Liu Mengyun had already crushed their confidence.

Xia Na followed behind, watching only their backs.

Xia Na truly wanted to stay close to Su Yang—ideally, very close.

But the two women beside Su Yang? Xia Na couldn't afford to provoke either.

Sometimes, Xia Na felt like nothing more than a little scapegoat, utterly powerless before Su Yang.

Yet the one thing that comforted her was that since the Omen Crow of Misfortune had awakened and she began following Su Yang, her own bad luck no longer seemed to affect anyone else.
