Protagonist:

Xuan Ge

Seeing Ling Sha step forward, the Five Generals inside the General's Mansion instantly collected their panic and stood up in unison.

Bai Qi and Wei Qing reacted the fastest, directly rising from the left and right main seats and striding to the lower seats to salute Ling Sha with cupped fists.

"Ling Fei."

The five spoke with one voice, their tone respectful, fully displaying their reverence for Ling Sha.

A gentle smile appeared on Ling Sha's face, without the slightest airs; she then walked slowly to the main seat and sat down, giving a light nod to signal the five to rise.

Seeing Ling Sha seated, the Five Generals only then took their seats in turn, but strictly observing protocol, they all sat in the lower seats, and no one dared overstep the bounds.

Wei Qing, at the head of the lower seats, steadied himself and spoke first, his gaze turning to Ling Sha, his tone respectful yet carrying a hint of probing:

"Ling Fei, coming to find us so late, do you have important matters to instruct?"

Ling Sha did not rush to answer, instead turning her gaze toward Li Chunxiao.

Li Chunxiao was seen at this moment with his head lowered, eyes observing the nose, nose observing the heart, presenting an appearance of having nothing to do with him.

Seeing this scene, Ling Sha understood in her heart.

She had come to the right place.

Wei Qing followed Ling Sha's gaze, and seeing Li Chunxiao's state, his anger surged: This idiot!

He helplessly let out a light cough and proactively spoke to smooth things over: "Ling Fei, just speak directly if you have business; we were just now beginning to discuss matters related to the General, and have not yet reached a conclusion."

Ling Sha picked up the clean teacup on the table with her fair hand, lifted the teapot, slowly poured a cup of clear tea, took a light sip, and spoke in a flat tone:

"General Wei, you don't call this 'Ling Fei' with a sincere heart, do you~"

One sentence instantly tightened Wei Qing's heart — Damn it, the pressure is here.

In this year since Ling Sha took over the Shen Wu Xian Zhou, though she lacked the title of General, she held the substance of a General; to call her Acting General would not be excessive.

Consoling the families of fallen soldiers, fairly and justly distributing merits and rewards, coordinating personnel to restore order to the Xian Zhou, planning the repair matters of the Shen Wu Xian Zhou.....

Each and every one of these matters, Ling Sha handled to perfection, truly achieving devotion to duty until death.

This pressure came precisely from Ling Sha's achievements and prestige over this year.

He had lived over a thousand years, galloped on battlefields for many years, yet had to admire Ling Sha.

He quietly lowered his head and gave a slight meaningful glance to Bai Qi beside him, his eyes full of pleading:

Teammate? Save me!

Bai Qi let out a light sigh, complaining inwardly:

You think I can beat Ling Sha? You're pushing me into a fire pit.

He chose to ignore Wei Qing's pleading gaze, then raised his eyes to look at Ling Sha, no longer beating around the bush, and spoke directly:

"Ling Fei, to be honest, we were just now discussing the matter of the General's heir."

"Oh~?" Ling Sha set down the teacup, her tone still flat, not revealing the slightest resentment because she could not bear children.

"Are you discussing the fact that I am of the Ming clan and cannot bear children?"

She had long since accepted it; if she could not bear children, then she could not — her love for Xuan Ge had never been maintained by offspring; being able to accompany him wholeheartedly by his side was enough.

These words left Bai Qi instantly at a loss for words — Damn it, now all the pressure has fallen on me!

He never expected that Ling Sha would actually not take the pressure, but instead choose to blow up directly.

Seeing Bai Qi and Wei Qing those two useless ones still pondering how to answer, Zhang Liao stood up, cupped his fists toward Ling Sha, and spoke in a determined tone:

"Ling Fei, regardless of who bears the General's heir, in the General's heart and in the hearts of everyone on the Shen Wu Xian Zhou, you will forever be the first; this point, from top to bottom of the Shen Wu, no one refuses to accept."

He paused, then continued: "If the future heir has any dissatisfaction toward you, I will stake my life to petition the General."

A gentle smile appeared on Ling Sha's face as she spoke lightly: "General Zhang, your words are too heavy."

She truly did not care about these things.

If the future heir truly disliked her, she also would not mind.

After all, after the Third Abundance War ended, she returned to the General's Mansion and saw that garden she loved most, still perfectly intact.

She then knew that in Xuan Ge's heart, she would forever be the unique first.

Of course, she was also not a soft persimmon to be pinched at will.

If the future heir's mother did not know how to teach, she also understood some child-rearing methods.

Moreover, she believed in Xuan Ge, that he would absolutely not let her be wronged, and would absolutely not let that kind of thing happen.

Ling Sha's gaze slowly turned toward Li Chunxiao and Qin Qiong, her face carrying a meaningful smile:

"You two Generals, your children's future wedding — it will be presided over by me."

Qin Qiong and Li Chunxiao hurriedly stood up and cupped their fists toward Ling Sha in salute:

"Ling Fei, please speak directly; whatever the matter, we will certainly obey your orders."

The Five Generals, in just a few words from Ling Sha, were thoroughly defeated, each filled with helplessness, their hearts holding only one thought:

We're about to lose! General, you'd better run fast!

Looking at the five's awkward appearances, Ling Sha no longer teased, and directly threw out the core question:

"The General has not left the Shen Wu Xian Zhou, correct?"

The five looked at each other and all nodded.

Ling Sha lowered her head, pondered lightly for a moment, then raised her eyes and guessed in a determined tone: "You Qiu Yu?"

The five froze for a moment, and simultaneously a single thought flashed through their minds: "Opened?"

Seeing the five of them freeze for an instant, a smile of realization appeared on Ling Sha's face.

She slowly stood up and walked toward the outside of the Tongjun Fu, her tone light and cheerful:

"I quite like this title of 'Ling Fei'."

Her goal was clear, without the slightest hesitation — head to the Shiwang Si Youqiu to find Xuan Ge!

Watching Ling Sha's figure gradually disappear into the night.

Bai Qi slowly recovered his senses, suddenly laughed, then turned around and kicked Li Chunxiao, who was still in a daze:

"Your damn grandpa! You're still putting on that 'eyes observing nose, nose observing heart' act?"

Li Chunxiao reacted extremely fast; in the instant he was kicked, he borrowed the force to retreat several steps backward, standing firm. He glared at Bai Qi unwillingly and loudly questioned:

"Lao Bai, your damn grandpa! I'm a military general! A military general! You're a civil general, and you couldn't even contend with Ling Fei, yet you expect me, a military general, to withstand her?"

Qin Qiong and Zhang Liao hurried forward, each grabbing one of them, afraid the two would start fighting right there and disrupt the order of the Tongjun Fu.

"Do you fucking know that recently Ning Li has been studying with Ling Sha?"

Bai Qi took a deep breath, looking at Li Chunxiao with a slightly complex gaze.

Hearing this, Li Chunxiao's face showed a roguish, playful expression. He leaned in, patted Bai Qi's shoulder, and said in a fawning tone:

"Hehe~ Just now was merely a joke between us, I actually forgot about this matter~"

He knew Bai Qi's thoughts clearly in his heart.

Being rushed by Qi Ningli as a teacher was bad enough.

Before, Bai Qi could still struggle a bit, but now, Qi Ningli has gone directly to Ling Sha to study....

This time, Bai Qi is truly in for suffering.

"Hmph!" Bai Qi glared at Li Chunxiao displeased: "Your family had better give birth to a son!"

If he really had a daughter, when she grows up, he'd also send her to Ling Sha for advanced study! Torture your son to death!

"My family's is a guaranteed son, absolutely cannot be wrong!"

Li Chunxiao raised his chin proudly, tone asking for a beating: "But your daughter~ that depends on your ability~"

Finished speaking, afraid Bai Qi would strike again, he turned and ran, disappearing inside the Tongjun Fu in an instant, leaving only Bai Qi standing there, gritting his teeth in anger.

Wei Qing sat quietly to the side, holding up a teacup, took a light sip, expression calm, but his heart was full of emotion.

He just got a granddaughter, pink and jade-carved, extremely cute.

Right now, he wishes he could protect her without leaving her side for a single step every day.

Afraid his precious granddaughter, like Li Chunxiao's daughter, would be abducted by some unknown brat.

When that time comes, he would truly worry his hair white.
