Toward Ji Shengyue, who had discovered and nurtured her, she was absolutely loyal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew just how important it was for one of Her Majesty’s subordinates to become an Emperor Realm expert at this critical juncture. This could change everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected, upon hearing this news,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Shengyue shot to her feet and asked in delighted surprise, \"Has this been fully confirmed?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Her Majesty the Queen. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have waited half an hour to bring the news to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zong Yajuan replied with certainty, \"Min Kexin is waiting outside right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Her Majesty wishes to see her, I can have her come in immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This matter is still confidential. I was worried that if the news leaked, the Lighthouse Empire and the New World Organization might take actions detrimental to us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Right, right. You’ve been very thorough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her mood vastly improved, Ji Shengyue praised Zong Yajuan before saying impatiently, \"Have Min Kexin come in at once.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zong Yajuan nodded, took out her phone, and sent a text message.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the temperature in the room plummeted. A figure then appeared without any warning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a display of the power of the Emperor Realm—the ability to ignore any barrier within a certain area,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and traverse freely at a speed imperceptible to the human eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recently, in order to quickly cultivate an Emperor Realm expert for the Great Jing Empire,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Shengyue had secretly tasked Zong Yajuan with acquiring methods and techniques from the black market for rapidly increasing one’s realm by fusing with Evil Spirits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had also purchased numerous high-level Evil Spirits at exorbitant prices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her efforts had not been in vain; Ji Shengyue’s plan had finally produced its first success.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is your strength truly at the Emperor Realm now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Shengyue asked again, suppressing her excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Min Kexin affirmed with a nod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back when she was still a normal human Martial Artist, Min Kexin had a rosy complexion and radiated youthful vigor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, in her desperate bid to rapidly ascend to the Emperor Realm, she had risked her life by devouring three Evil Spirits in quick succession.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her own power as a King’s Realm Martial Artist formed a fortunate four-way balance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the harmonizing effect of this balance, Min Kexin’s strength was pushed to the Emperor Realm in one fell swoop!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The price, however, was that the aura Min Kexin exuded had become much colder. Standing there, she was like a corpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her face was deathly pale, and her eyes had lost much of their human emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In its place was a cold indifference, strikingly similar to that of an Evil Spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Excellent! This is truly excellent!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Great Jing Empire finally has its first Emperor Realm expert!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From this day forward, you are the Great Jing Empire’s third National Guardian War God.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I will bestow upon you the most generous rewards and allow you to enjoy a life of splendor and riches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And you, Zong Yajuan, you’ve done an outstanding job with this matter!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this good news, Ji Shengyue quickly regained the majestic confidence befitting Her Majesty the Queen of the Great Jing Empire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She settled back into her seat, beginning to exercise her skill at balancing the scales.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Henceforth, you and Min Kexin will jointly manage the entirety of the Great Jing Empire’s Martial Artist forces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While we may not be able to contend with the Lighthouse Empire for now, we at least have a seat at the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That apology statement that has been troubling me for days... I suppose it won’t be necessary now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Shengyue laughed heartily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Her Majesty the Queen, I’ve received word that the Lighthouse Empire’s Martial Artist Base clashed violently with the New World Organization, resulting in significant casualties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Joliton has already reported the situation here back to the Lighthouse Empire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A private jet from the Lighthouse Empire has likely already arrived at our Royal City Airport.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The jet didn’t fly directly to Fujiang City’s airport. It’s highly probable they are coming to see you, Your Majesty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m worried they might send an expert to cause trouble directly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zong Yajuan said, concerned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am aware of this as well. If they want to come, then let them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Min Kexin, you will need to put on a good show later. Display the might of our Great Jing Empire.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Shengyue said coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the bustling Royal City Airport in the Great Jing Empire,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a private jet cut across the azure sky and landed smoothly on the runway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cabin door opened slowly, releasing a mixed scent of jet fuel and foreign leather.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few passengers dressed in foreign attire then stepped out of the cabin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leading them was a young, fair-skinned man with flowing silver hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His features were like those of a beautiful youth from a medieval oil painting, so exquisite it was hard to look away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His pupils were as red as precious gems, glittering with a deep and mysterious light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wore a black tailcoat with delicate red embroidery. At his left shoulder, where a short cape was attached,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a bat insignia gleamed brightly. A silver trim wound artfully beneath his collar, adding to his noble and mysterious air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, my heavens! Isn’t that Count Jerry? He actually came in person!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the crowd waiting in the airport terminal, a portly, smiling middle-aged man cried out in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes nearly bulged from their sockets, his face a mask of astonishment and awe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This middle-aged man was none other than Joliton, the head of the Great Jing Empire’s Martial Artist Base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Joliton hurriedly straightened his suit and rushed forward, his face plastered with a sycophantic smile. \"My Lord Count, welcome! It must have been a long journey.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He bowed obsequiously, his voice filled with reverence and a desire to please.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Count Jerry gave a slight nod, his every move exuding the grace and nobility of a thousand-year aristocratic lineage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gently adjusted the black formal hat on his head, hiding his handsome face in its shadow, unwilling to let the sunlight of this barbaric land tarnish his noble skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flash of disgust and malice crossed his eyes. His voice was deep and cold. \"This place is truly detestable. Even a barbaric land like this can’t block out the sun.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Joliton immediately understood and quickly took a black umbrella from one of his subordinates, opening it over Count Jerry’s head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The umbrella was like a patch of night, shielding Count Jerry from the glaring sunlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He followed fawningly by Count Jerry’s side, carefully leading the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Count Jerry nodded in satisfaction, the corner of his mouth curling into a slight smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He strode forward with elegant steps, his black tailcoat fluttering gently in the breeze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His figure stood out in the crowd, like a noble prince from another world descending upon the mortal realm.\u003C\u002Fp>",1340,"2026-06-06T16:46:32.086Z",1,"novelbin.me","083337e6c3aa80f990ee55c6f87a90a4a29bc7b43bdb0ad26dc708c26986cddc","national-guardian-s-gone-and-we-re-done-chapter-108","national-guardian-s-gone-and-we-re-done-chapter-106",274,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fnational-guardian-s-gone-and-we-re-done-cover.jpg"]
