Chapter 1849: Sudden Change

He Lian Xiu was seething with anger, so she had to go find He Lian Qiang again.

She asked He Lian Qiang to take her out for a stroll.

"You're already engaged, yet you still go running around?"

"If Leader Ye finds out, how will I explain it to him?" He Lian Qiang also refuses to take her out.

"Hmph! You're all just bullying me!"

He Lian Xiu said this and then burst into tears.

"What's the matter?"

"Who's bullying you?"

Seeing this, He Lian Qiang hurriedly tried to console her again.

"Ye Liuyun bullies me, Father King bullies me, you too bully me!"

He Lian Xiu said, feeling wronged.

"When have I ever bullied you?"

"And how has Ye Liuyun bullied you?"

He Lian Qiang didn't dare ask about the Western Liang King's affair, so he could only ask Ye Liuyun.

He Lian Xiu cried for a while, let it out, then began to tell him.

"This isn't bullying! He's a martial general Leader, maybe his personality is just like that! And what Father King said is also correct!"

After hearing that, He Lian Qiang also thought it wasn't a big deal.

"Haven't you seen Ye Liuyun chatting with Xuan Yuan Ling?"

"They were chatting very happily."

"Why can't you keep me company and chat?"

He Lian Xiu retorted.

"Xuan Yuan Ling is certainly good at business, so of course she can talk."

"And Ye Liuyun is also his major client, so she naturally needs to be coaxed."

He Lian Qiang explained.

"Then what should I do?"

"Father King said to let me help him, but what can I actually help with?"

"I don't know anything right now!"

He Lian Xiu retorted.

He Lian Qiang didn't dare to scold this sister, so he could only give her advice.

"You can't rush this kind of thing."

"You've grown up beside him, so you naturally know what he's interested in."

"I only heard that he's recently recruiting troops, so he should be interested in this."

"Besides, martial cultivators all need resources, especially Ye Liuyun, with so many subordinates needing resources, he definitely needs resources now."

"You can think of a solution from this angle."

"Moreover, even if you help him, you can't let him praise you right away."

"You should pretend not to care, so he feels grateful in his heart…"

"Also… you're already engaged, and after you go with him, you'll be his woman."

"Martial cultivators don't fuss over so much, so you shouldn't be too conservative."

"If he can't restrain himself, you just go along with it… but you shouldn't bring it up yourself, lest he look down on you."

He Lian Qiang indeed gave her quite a few ideas and suggestions.

"So troublesome?"

He Lian Xiu listened to He Lian Qiang talk for a long time and felt it was too troublesome.

He Lian Qiang retorted: "What do you think then?"

"You were previously taken care of too well, so you never thought about taking care of others."

"Now that you're married, if you don't change, how will others value you!"

"From now on, I can't indulge you anymore."

"Whatever position you can win in Ye Liuyun's heart, you can only rely on yourself!"

Upon hearing this, He Lian Xiu felt wronged again and burst into tears.

This time, He Lian Qiang also didn't try to console her, just let her vent her fill.

He Lian Xiu, though spoiled, isn't stupid; after crying a while, she figured it out.

Knowing she couldn't change her fate, she could only rely on Ye Liuyun from now on.

So her attitude changed immediately; while her tears were still wet, she went to He Lian Qiang and cried poor: "I myself have no resources to give him."

"Brother, I'll just rely on you!"

Afterward, she cleaned out He Lian Qiang completely, then eagerly rushed to the Royal Mansion's Treasure Vault, gathering all the resources she could take.

"Just taught you, and you're already turning outward so fast! Truly a married-off woman, water spilled!"

He Lian Qiang also felt like crying but had no tears; He Lian Xiu only left him ten crystal stones.

After returning, He Lian Xiu also gathered her maids, keeping only those willing to follow her into the army, and dismissing the rest.

Afterward, she took five maids, put on military uniforms and armor, and together went to find Ye Liuyun…

After Ye Liuyun arrived at the Xuan Yuan Pavilion, he directly sought Xuan Yuan Ling.

"You're already engaged, isn't it inappropriate to come see me again?"

Xuan Yuan Ling said, full of jealousy.

Although he also knew Ye Liuyun wasn't willing, he still blamed him in his heart.

Ye Liuyun was also stunned, but didn't explain further, just said: "I have official business to see you!"

"How come, the Administrator Song of Royal City can't settle it?"

Xuan Yuan Ling was also curious.

"Yes, some things still need your help!"

Speaking, Ye Liuyun took out the prepared list.

It also listed delivery time and place.

"These resources must be delivered on time to the designated place.

I will come to pick up the goods, then inspect and pay.

Is that okay?"

Ye Liuyun asked.

Xuan Yuan Ling glanced; they were basically large quantities of medicinal materials and smithing materials.

"So much?"

Xuan Yuan Ling also knew, such a large amount, she couldn't gather it all at once.

Ye Liuyun didn't explain, just continued: "Moreover, I also have 100,000 each of Qi-refining, body-refining, and Soul Condensing Pill medicinal pills, third-rank ninth-grade pills, to be sold in batches to Mysterious Origin Tower, plus some third-rank weapons and armor—give me a price.

The delivery place is the same as where you collect the medicinal materials."

"100,000 each?"

Are you refining pills and smithing to trade for resources?"

Xuan Yuan Ling didn't understand what Ye Liuyun wanted to do.

Ye Liuyun is so wealthy, he shouldn't need to do this.

But she still gave Ye Liuyun a price and agreed to his request.

"Then thank you!"

Ye Liuyun thanked Xuan Yuan Ling, said nothing more, and directly took his leave.

"Was I too harsh, making him angry?"

After Ye Liuyun left, Xuan Yuan Ling also felt some regret.

Ye Liuyun spoke solemnly, and after speaking he left, which indeed related to the first sentence he said to Xuan Yuan Ling.

He also felt he should speak less with women in the future to avoid trouble.

After arranging the resources, Ye Liuyun returned to his residence, only to see He Lian Xiu leading several female soldiers standing at his door.

He Lian Xiu wore armor, which pleased him to look at.

He Lian Xiu was also sharp; she immediately noticed Ye Liuyun preferred seeing her in armor.

"Looking for me?"

Ye Liuyun asked.

"I want to discuss something with you."

He Lian Xiu said solemnly.

"Speak! Want to come inside and sit?"

Ye Liuyun asked.

"No need, just two sentences."

He Lian Xiu deliberately said: "You also know, I've been spoiled since childhood, never undergone any hardship.

Since I'm going with you, I might as well truly train.

These maidservants of mine also want to join the army, so I want to bring them to join your troops.

How about it?"

Hearing this, Ye Liuyun thought seriously and said: "You want to train, I don't oppose—this is good!

But if you want to join my troops, you must pass normal selection and training; I won't give you special treatment.

You also cannot reveal your identity as my woman.

Because on the battlefield, every soldier has a role; we can't let others die just because you're weak."

"I understand! I will never let you lose face!"

He Lian Xiu happily said.

"Mm, you understand, good! But I think you don't need to push yourself too hard.

You've never suffered before; you might not handle it all at once!"

Ye Liuyun also feared she would push herself too hard.
