Chapter 3425: Unknown Identity

"Yeah! As soon as I heard that Commander Song Zhen was sent by the Marquis of Zhenwu, I got worried about changes, made arrangements in advance, and have been on duty at the camp gate lately!"

Ye Liuyun gave him a thumbs‑up and said, "Brother Tian really thought things through!"

"You kid, stop praising me! No matter how great you are, you still outshine me; I didn't expect you actually pulled it off!"

Liao Yaotian sent this message to Ye Liuyun via Transmission Voice.

"Ha ha, that bastard deserved it! I avenged my brothers!" Ye Liuyun also sent a Transmission Voice to Qi Tianlin and Chen Mo.

The three shared an understanding smile, returned together to Ye Liuyun's big tent, and treated Chen Yueying as an honored guest. They felt Chen Yueying had saved Ye Liuyun and had a considerable background, so they dared not offend her.

"You needn't be formal; she's a friend of mine!" Ye Liuyun introduced her to them.

"Oh, so she's a friend!" Liao Yaotian, seeing the relationship between Ye Liuyun and Chen Yueying as informal, played up the atmosphere, emphasizing the word "friend" deliberately, which provoked a burst of laughter from everyone.

Chen Yueying's face flushed with shyness, and she dared not look at Ye Liuyun.

"Alright, stop teasing me and tell me about the situation here." Ye Liuyun quickly changed the subject to avoid Chen Yueying's misunderstanding.

"There's nothing much to report on military affairs; it's the same as before. We've been worrying about you daily; after hearing news of Song Zhen's arrival, we assigned guard‑duty, thinking that if anything happened to you, we could cover your escape!

Now it's settled, but you still have a hurdle ahead; in the future don't be careless— even when you sleep, keep your mouth shut!" Liao Yaotian briefly briefed Ye Liuyun on the situation and gave him a reminder.

"Thanks, brothers!" Ye Liuyun clasped his fists in gratitude toward them, deeply appreciative of their willingness to risk death to cover his escape.

"Alright, you're back; we should relax and get some proper rest. You keep chatting; we won't hold you up!" After finishing his briefing, Liao Yaotian promptly led Qi Tianlin and Chen Mo down to rest.

Only Ye Liuyun and Chen Yueying remained, and the atmosphere turned a bit awkward.

"How about you grill some meat for me?" Chen Yueying tried to make conversation.

【7】 "Um… didn't you just eat and just came back? Are you hungry again?" Ye Liuyun didn't understand what Chen Yueying was

【8】 trying to make small talk.

【9】 "Then let's cultivate." Chen Yueying could only say that.

【10】 "Fine, go cultivate. This is my big tent; no one will come in to disturb you. I'll step out for a walk, check on the soldiers, and return shortly to keep you company!"

【11】 Ye Liuyun said. He also wanted to see the situation himself; after all, he's also a commander, and it wouldn't be right to stay hidden after returning.

【12】 "Mm." Chen Yueying agreed, then immediately warned Ye Liuyun: "Don't leave the camp for now, lest Song Zhen strike you from the shadows. By tomorrow you might be safe!"

【13】 "Tomorrow? Do you know something?" Ye Liuyun recalled what Hao Tai had said, that tomorrow he would take Chen Yueying to the central army's big tent to report.

【14】 "How would I know about tomorrow!" Chen Yueying blurted out, deliberately vague. She hadn't decided how to explain her identity to Ye Liuyun, so she stalled.

【15】 She even sent a Transmission Voice to Hao Tai, asking him not to let Ye Liuyun learn her identity.

【16】 Ye Liuyun also sensed that Chen Yueying seemed to know something but chose not to speak, and since it appeared beneficial to him, he didn't press the issue.

"Alright then, I'll go take a look and come right back, staying out of the camp!" Ye Liuyun replied and left the big tent.

Inside the tent, only Chen Yueying remained, giggling to herself: "After he learns the truth, I wonder if his expression will be surprise or shock!"

She then produced a Transmission Talisman and said into it: "Send me a few more soldiers; one is a bit short. Bring his subordinates as well!"

Ye Liuyun, to ease the awkwardness, walked around outside, pondering that Chen Yueying's identity might not be simple. It must be her Transmission with Hao Tai that had effect. Otherwise, even a high‑ranking Sect disciple from the Taixu World couldn't meddle in military affairs!

But since Chen Yueying didn't speak, he didn't press further.

Liao Yaotian and the others gathered then, teasing Ye Liuyun: "You've got it, kid— you went out and found a backing. Who's this big figure?"

Ye Liuyun asked casually, "How did you tell she's a big figure?"

Liao Yaotian scoffed, "Do you even need to look? Did you think a Sect's Token could wield that much power? Song Zhen was sent by the Marquis of Zhenwu as a commander; his rank is on par with our Grand Leader, but his status is far higher!

He could make him turn around without a word,

if he weren't a big figure, could he have that effect?"

Ye Liuyun smiled lightly, neither confirming nor denying his words.

"You don't also have no idea, do you?" Liao Yaotian, seeing his expression, guessed the situation.

"You're really a god, you can guess that!" Ye Liuyun could only admit.

"Then I guess that little girl has taken a liking to you!" Liao Yaotian speculated.

"Don't talk nonsense; I just saved her life and became a friend." Ye Liuyun hurried to explain.

Liao Yaotian pursed his lips and said no more.

Ye Liuyun chatted with them for a few more sentences, walked around the camp, and after surveying, could only return to the big tent.

Fortunately, Chen Yueying had already begun cultivating, so it didn't embarrass him further. He immediately returned to the Space World to cultivate; otherwise he truly wouldn't know what to talk about with her.

Early the next morning, Ye Liuyun took Chen Yueying and rushed to Hao Tai's big tent, hoping to learn her identity sooner.

But upon arriving at Hao Tai's place, Song Zhen was nowhere to be seen.

Yesterday, while waiting for Ye Liuyun at the camp gate, Hao Tai had already received a notice that the daughter of King Chen, Princess Yueying, would come to escort Ye Liuyun away.

He just hadn't met Chen Yueying before. When Chen Yueying testified for Ye Liuyun, he was completely relieved, knowing Ye Liuyun had protection. However, Chen Yueying told him not to reveal her identity.

So they only informed Song Zhen; the two dared not defy her orders or greet her, and merely sent a Transmission Voice to say a word before leaving.

As for Zhao Yuanpei's matter, he never mentioned it to Ye Liuyun. Though Ye Liuyun was a bit suspect, no one believed he possessed the courage or means. Moreover, with the princess's testimony, Song Zhen naturally stopped pursuing it, and could only report to the Marquis of Zhenwu, continuing the manhunt for Meng Yunshan.

Hao Tai laughed and told Ye Liuyun: "Congratulations! I received a transfer order; you're being moved to the Royal Mansion as a close‑bodyguard, and your three subordinates are coming with you. Liao Yaotian, Qi Tianlin, and Chen Mo will all go with you; their positions remain unchanged, and they're all transferred under your command.

That's as far as I can help. This is a great opportunity for all of you; seize it! You all, set off with Miss Yueying right now to the Royal Mansion to report; she'll take you to handle the paperwork."

Ye Liuyun chatted with them for a few sentences, then walked around the camp, and after taking a look, he could only return to the main tent.

Fortunately, Chen Yueying had already begun cultivating, so it didn't embarrass him too much. He immediately returned to the Space World to cultivate; otherwise, he really wouldn't have known what to talk to Chen Yueying about.

Early the next morning, Ye Liuyun took Chen Yueying and rushed to Hao Tai's main tent. He also wanted to learn Chen Yueying's identity as soon as possible.

But when they arrived at Hao Tai's place, they no longer saw Song Zhen.

Yesterday, while waiting for Ye Liuyun at the camp gate, Hao Tai had already received a notice saying that Chen Tianwang's daughter, Princess Yueying, would come to take Ye Liuyun away.

However, he had merely never met Chen Yueying before and didn't know her. When Chen Yueying vouched for Ye Liuyun, he finally put his mind at ease, knowing Ye Liuyun had someone backing him. However, Chen Yueying told her not to reveal her identity.

So they only informed Song Zhen; the two of them also didn't dare to defy her orders or greet her, so they merely sent a Transmission Voice saying a word and then left.

As for Zhao Yuanpei's matter, he himself didn't even mention Ye Liuyun; although Ye Liuyun was somewhat suspicious, everyone also didn't believe he had the guts and means. Moreover, with the princess vouching for him, Song Zhen naturally didn't pursue it further. They could only report to Marquis Zhenwu and continue the manhunt for Meng Yunshan.

Hao Tai also smiled and told Ye Liuyun: "Congratulations, I've received the transfer order—you're being assigned to the Heavenly King's Mansion as a personal guard, and your three subordinates will also come along with you: Liao Yaotian, Qi Tianlin, and Chen Mo will go with you. Your duties remain unchanged, and those three will still be under your command."

I can only help you get this far. This is a great opportunity for you all—seize it! You all, set off today with Miss Yueying right away, go to the Royal Mansion to report; she will take you to complete the formalities.
