Chapter 2402

Even the Blade Army, just now, reached agreement so quickly only because Battalion Commander Yao Feng of the White Tiger Battalion had finished communicating with the opposing battalion commander and confirmed the mutual benefits.

Not paying should work too.

State the pros and cons, and the Blade Army and the Iron Blood Army should understand.

But paying speeds things up.

With benefits involved, both sides would be more willing to do this.

And it means owing no favors.

Yao Feng also liked this clean and decisive way of handling things.

After bidding farewell to Li Mohu of the Blade Army, everyone entered the territory of the Iron Blood Army.

The process was almost identical to the one just now.

Both sides exchanged pleasantries.

Then the Iron Blood Army offered to stay, the Breaker Army refused, and the Iron Blood Army sent troops to escort them.

Finally, upon returning to the Breaker Army's border, it was already 8 a. m.

The sun had already risen.

The lords all felt somewhat dazed.

Finally, they could see sunlight.

Light truly can soothe the soul.

The moment they stepped into the Breaker Army's territory, almost every lord wanted to lie down.

After all, it was still one hour's journey to Shubei Town.

But this was already Breaker Army territory.

No need to rush too much, and they could be freer.

With the approval of the two deputy battalion commanders, the lords began to rest on the spot.

A while passed.

Jiang Chen loudly announced:

"Everyone, Battalion Commander Yao Feng has agreed that each squadron commander may temporarily access the array permissions and the permission to summon soldiers.

"Each squadron commander may absorb a small amount of local array energy to summon some carriages and mounts.

"But pay attention!

"We are drawing energy from the local village-level arrays; be extremely moderate and do not affect the array defenses of our allies.

"Just summon enough carriages and mounts.

"We will assemble at the military camp in Shubei Town to arrange subsequent matters.

"Everyone, return in your respective squadrons."

The moment these words were spoken, the lords immediately shouted excitedly.

Immediately after, a large number of carriages and various mounts appeared around them.

The lords quickly boarded the carriages and mounts.

They departed one after another.

Li Ruanyu summoned dozens of large Holy Winged Griffins and many carriages for the lords of the Jade Squadron to ride.

Shangguan Ting likewise summoned Plague Lion-Scorpions and carriages for the lords of the Phantom Squadron.

The lords departed immediately.

Zhao Chi originally wanted to take a carriage with Su Qin.

But a gust of wind swept around.

A huge Holy Winged Griffin and a huge Plague Lion-Scorpion landed, stopping on Zhao Chi's left and right.

Immediately after came the figures of two women.

Li Ruanyu and Shangguan Ting also walked over.

Li Ruanyu glanced at Shangguan Ting.

Then she said to Zhao Chi and Su Qin, "You two ride with me on Kaila; it has enough room for the three of us."

Shangguan Ting now also said to Zhao Chi, "Riding my Lion-Scorpion Fu'er is fine too; the fur on its body is softer than the feathers on a Griffin's, and it has enough room for the three of us."

Then she said to Su Qin beside her, "Su Qin, from now on I will be your older sister."

"Ah???"

Su Qin's mouth could have swallowed an apple.

She did not yet know about the matter between Shangguan Ting and Zhao Chi; seeing this scene, she truly felt as if she had seen a ghost.

Just now, when she saw that huge Lion-Scorpion stop nearby and then saw Shangguan Ting walk over, Su Qin thought Shangguan Ting was here to pick a fight again.

But with Li Ruanyu present, she felt quite reassured.

But what is going on now?

She simply could not believe her ears.

What did Squadron Leader Shangguan just say?

From now on, I am your older sister??

What does that mean???

Most importantly...

The look in Squadron Leader Shangguan's eyes when she looked at Zhao Chi...

Oh my god...

Su Qin was also a very intelligent woman.

Possessing the intuition and judgment unique to women.

She could perfectly understand the look in Shangguan Ting's eyes as she stared at Zhao Chi.

And that look... was it actually infatuation??

What exactly happened??

How did Zhao Chi manage to win over Captain Shangguan as well??

When did that happen??

Su Qin stood frozen in place, not knowing how to reply.

But Zhao Chi did not hesitate.

This choice was easy to make.

One was the first wife, Li Ruanyu; the other was Shangguan Ting, with whom he had just strengthened their relationship. There was truly only one choice.

He immediately said, "Thank you, Captain Shangguan, but this time it won't be necessary."

Shangguan Ting smiled and said, "It's fine. I know you'll be Li Ruanyu's griffin rider, but I'm coming along too, just to tell you that you now have one more choice. I'll go first now. See you later, bye~"

She returned to her gentle state.

Then she flashed Zhao Chi a smile that was extremely friendly and seductive.

Even Su Qin frowned upon seeing that smile.

Who would have thought that the esteemed Captain Shangguan could make such a feminine smile?

Immediately after, Shangguan Ting lightly leaped onto the back of the griffin-scorpion, shot straight into the sky, and wove through the many flying mounts.

Li Ruanyu let out a soft sigh.

Then she smiled and said to Zhao Chi, "Come on, Zhao Chi, Su Qin. We're leaving too."

Zhao Chi, with Su Qin in his arms, jumped onto the griffin's back. Li Ruanyu, at the very front, controlled the griffin and leaped upward.

In the air, there was no one else.

Zhao Chi simply reached out with his large hand and pulled Li Ruanyu into his embrace as well.

Just as he had held Tang Ruan and Qi Yue before, he now held Li Ruanyu and Su Qin.

The two women, Su Qin and Li Ruanyu, were already very familiar with each other.

Previously, when helping Su Qin transform into a member of the Taoyuan Clan, they had gathered almost every day in Su Qin's room. Moreover, whenever Zhao Chi transmitted energy to Su Qin each night, Li Ruanyu had been there on the side, guiding him and witnessing the entire process.

Before, Su Qin would sometimes feel a lack of confidence in front of Li Ruanyu due to her status and other reasons, keeping some distance from her.

But now, she completely regarded her as an elder sister.

Both women relaxed, leaning against Zhao Chi's chest.

The griffin flew a bit higher.

But a bit slower.
