Protagonist:

Xuan Ge

"Hai Se Yin, you've already eaten, so why do you still want more?"

Sai Fei'er'er was somewhat dissatisfied; how could Hai Se Yin be so gluttonous? This left them, the ones who hadn't risen to the top, with no way out.

Losing to Ti Li Xi Bi E Si was one thing, but she even lost to Feng Jin.

And now it was fine; Hai Se Yin still wanted more.

Then they had no chance of losing at all.

"When the day comes that Xuan Ge doesn't like big ones, I'll stop trying so hard."

Hai Se Yin smiled gently, but those words were impossible.

Sai Fei'er'er looked at her with a huff; right now she truly wanted to eat this fish.

"Sai Fei'er'er, you hush for a moment; what's the deal with that yellow-haired woman?"

Hai Se Yin stroked her cat tail to quiet Sai Fei'er'er, then looked toward Man Yuan's direction and asked.

"I'm not sure who she is." Sai Fei'er'er's tail drooped, then she said: "But there's a scent on her; I seem to have smelled it somewhere before."

Like the scent on Xuan Ge, but not emitted by a person; more like the scent of a Path.

Like Abundance.

"She's called Man Yuan; the Shen Wu archives have a file on this woman."

Xiu Ye explained for the two of them; as a Cloud Knight, she knew a great deal.

"An accident occurred during the previous Phantylia Game; a ferocious beast named the Death-Predicting Demon entered the Hui Shi Academy to slaughter, and Man Yuan was a survivor."

"As Lady Xiu Ye says; moreover, the Shen Wu Corps was also involved in this case."

A Ge Lai Ya nodded; following the keywords Xiu Ye gave, she quickly found the key incident in the Shen Wu archives.

"There's even this kind of thing?"

Sai Fei'er'er and Hai Se Yin crowded in from left and right, looking at the data A Ya had looked up.

"But Xuan Ge seems to be unaware."

"If every single matter required his personal attention, what would be the point of Xuan Ge being Emperor?"

A Ge Lai Ya struck the core; the greatest perk of Xuan Ge being Emperor was that paperwork would be handled by someone else.

During the Divine Might General era, documents indeed had about a 60% chance of passing through Xuan Ge's hands.

But once he became Emperor it was different; he only needed to take the matters most critical to the Xian Zhou; the rest would stop at the Marshal.

So, Xuan Ge became Emperor, and the number one reason was to slack off.

"The Shen Wu Corps received a tip-off call and dispatched a four-man squad to Er Xiang Le Yuan to investigate; battle merit +1."

Sai Fei'er'er finished reading this one-sentence summary of the battle report, and she was greatly shocked.

Worthy of Shen Wu; truly cast from the same mold.

Besides great victories, it's just battle merit +1; extremely concise, clear at a glance.

"So the Shen Wu Corps treated the Death-Predicting Demon like a stray dog kicked to death on the roadside..."

Sai Fei'er'er looked at Man Yuan; she was now even more puzzled: "Since the matter is over, why would Man Yuan have a problem?"

"According to Yao Fei, there is a great calamity in Er Xiang Le Yuan, and here there are the Extinction Monarch's Nirvana and Gluttony."

A Ge Lai Ya finished speaking and stroked the cat's head.

"When things are over, I'll go back and give you some remedial lessons."

Letting Sai Fei'er'er run wild like this won't do; if she has to wait for an explanation for everything, she'll forever be a step behind.

Shen Wu isn't Weng Fa Luo Si; the competition is fierce.

Not to mention the Hou Gong that ignites at the slightest disagreement.

"Ah~~~" Sai Fei'er'er, hearing this, heard that she had to study Xian Zhou culture, and felt one head turning into two big ones.

On Xuan Ge's side, he didn't rush to unclog the pipes for Hai Se Yin, but instead figured out Man Yuan's situation.

He understood; Man Yuan had been utilized by Nirvana.

Fortunately, Man Yuan woke up early and came to find him in time.

"I sense hatred on you."

As a Hunt Chosen, Xuan Ge is highly sensitive to specific emotions, so he could perceive the hidden sorrow and hatred on Man Yuan.

Very thick, but it couldn't compare to Bai E's towering rage that even made Nanuk happy.

Even so, Man Yuan was quite outstanding; at the very least, a stage boss.

"The Death-Predicting Demon killing me would only take an instant." Man Yuan sat beside Xuan Ge, eyes showing sadness, hugging her knees, "While Er Xiang Le Yuan killing me took fifteen years."

"I knew the Shen Wu Corps had visited Er Xiang Le Yuan, but I didn't pay it any mind."

Xuan Ge tossed aside his fishing rod and continued arguing with the sea; he just didn't believe that without Hai Se Yin, he couldn't catch fish!

"Yes, it was me who called for help, but Shen Wu only carried out the execution of the Death-Predicting Demon." Man Yuan confessed; she didn't hate the Shen Wu Corps, but she would harbor resentment.

Why, why did the army hailed as the strongest, fastest, and most efficient in the Huan Yu only send four people, and moreover fail to save the tragedy.

"The Shen Wu Corps are not saviors, and neither am I." Xuan Ge did not comfort Man Yuan, nor did he over-explain.

The Shen Wu Corps' actions don't need others pointing fingers; being able to forcibly shred the Death-Predicting Demon to pieces in front of the Company — that already gave the answer.

The Shen Wu Xian Zhou is not a holy mother; it won't regret why it didn't act sooner just because a few people died.

You have to know, the route distance to Er Xiang Le Yuan at that time was damn far.

It's already good enough if requests are granted; push that bunch of soldier-scum too far and they'll submit a memorial marking Fei Ying as a monstrosity, asking the Grand Army to suppress the Er Xiang Le Yuan.

"I know. It took me three years to figure this out." Man Yuan gave a slight nod; when she went abroad to study she deliberately looked into the Shen Wu Corps.

But not investigating meant not knowing; one investigation and she was shocked.

That four-person squad was an advance rapid-march unit, all at the level of personal guards.

Even that she could sway over — it really gave her a lot of face.

"Since you've figured it out, there's no need to be entangled over this matter."

Xuan Ge lifted his rod, looking at the bait and the damn hook that was lost again, a nameless fire surged up into his brain.

But he didn't flare up; instead he continued baiting the hook and said, "Shen Wu will send specialized people over; you cooperate well when the time comes."

Hearing this, Man Yuan blinked: "Your Majesty isn't preparing to punish me?"

"Punish — definitely will punish." Xuan Ge didn't soften, "But since Gui Ji wants to utilize you, you continue."

"Hehe~" Man Yuan revealed a smile: "Looks like Your Majesty also wants to utilize me."

Utilize away; at least Xuan Huang can speak properly with her, coming at it openly, and it's comparatively gentle.

Not like that mysterious person, always making her let her guard down.

"All under heaven bustle for profit, all under heaven scramble for profit — we're mutual."

Xuan Ge turned his head and glanced at Man Yuan's big thunder.

"Besides, I'm not some good person either."

"Yeah, Your Majesty is truly annoying, that look of wanting to watch — not hiding it one bit."

Man Yuan's smile deepened; she counted as having boarded Xuan Huang's big ship.

Just don't know how far it can go, where it'll stop.

But it's already whatever; this will be her last stop.

"Phantylia's game business you continue, but don't stir up trouble; appropriately you can indulge, but with proper measure."

Hearing Xuan Ge's roundabout, not-straightforward words, a little resentment rose in Man Yuan.

Just now wasn't it still plain speech straight to the point? How come here it starts shifting the pot onto her?

"Your Majesty, is it that you want me not to cause any deaths?"

"Those who should die will die; those who shouldn't die always have hope."

Man Yuan heard this and understood; looks like Xuan Huang really isn't a rotten good person.

"Then Your Majesty, the one coming from Xian Zhou is Dan Shu, right?"

"Pretty smart; she's Our private Si Shi."

Man Yuan was confused: "Private Si Shi, what is that?"

"Dan Shu can make Shuhu experience all kinds of inhumane punishments, also make Shuhu suffer pain even louder, letting Us enjoy."

Man Yuan:...
