Chapter 966: Young Men Telling Stories of Hunting Gold-Rank Beasts Before Sovereign Jiazi

The meeting ended, and the high-ranking military officials of the Southeast Military Department packed up their notebooks and left the conference room.

As soon as they stepped out of the conference room, they saw Su Yang standing quietly in the corridor, lost in thought.

"City Lord Su!"

"City Lord Su!"

"…"

The high-ranking officials of the Southeast Military Department warmly greeted Su Yang.

Although Su Yang was their subordinate, everyone knew what this unprecedented achievement of his meant.

Su Yang also politely responded to these senior officers—they all knew each other.

When Su Yang first arrived at the Southeast Military Department, General Qian had introduced him to these high-ranking officials.

"City Lord Su, would you like to come to my office for tea?"

"I'll definitely come later!" Su Yang smiled. "I need to find General Qian first!"

"Then I'll be waiting for you!"

"Absolutely!"

"…"

Su Yang rushed into the conference room and found Qian Qian Hailong.

"General Qian, how's the matter with Sovereign Jiazi?"

"Everyone voted unanimously in favor," Qian Qian Hailong chuckled. "You seem quite concerned about her."

"I promised her!"

"Mm," Qian Qian Hailong nodded. "But some high-ranking officials asked me to remind you—not to be overly enchanted by beauty; stay cautious around her."

"I understand!"

"Good!" Qian Qian Hailong patted Su Yang's shoulder with concern. "But you're almost eighteen—when are you going to treat us to wedding wine?"

"This…"

This question truly stumped Su Yang.

He had never once considered marriage.

"Think it over carefully!" Qian Qian Hailong chuckled at Su Yang's dazed expression. "With your standing, there shouldn't be many girls in all of China who'd turn you down—you can pick the best and most beloved one!"

Su Yang had long reached marriageable age.

Qian Qian Hailong worried that if Sovereign Jiazi stayed by Su Yang's side, he might eventually grow fond of her.

Sovereign Jiazi's identity was sensitive; so was Su Yang's.

He wasn't suitable to marry a foreign nation's sovereign.

If Su Yang found a wife first, everyone would feel more at ease.
