Chapter 336: Is Senior Lu Yuan a diligent little bee?

No…… Senior Lu has already gone to the battlefield, how could he possibly come back to make a bet?

Could he have teleported back?

Impossible, the battlefield changes in an instant, how could he just come back like that?

Moreover, according to the current progress.

Senior Lu has already entered the innermost part of the battlefield and begun to slaughter the enemy.

What's the deal with that bet?

Could it be that someone else is helping with the bet?

But if it's Mangbang, how could they just casually help?

Could it be an illusion?

That shouldn't be.

Your Majesty and the Sect Leader are here.

But hearing Your Majesty's voice……

Ah?

The soldiers looked at me, I looked at you.

Their faces were marked with foolishness.

If they're not mistaken, good grief, it's Your Majesty who agreed to this bet.

Nonsense.

The soldiers had a foolish look.

As if they were missing something in their minds.

Those watching wanted to laugh.

Yes, not only these soldiers, even General Mao felt like they were being played.

Good grief, but there's no evidence.

Wait…

Everyone seemed to have thought of something, quickly raising their heads, looking seriously at the departing Bai Qingfeng.

Yes, Bai Qingfeng straightened his back slightly and had already reached the door.

Moreover, he walked faster and faster, not at all like an old man stepping into half‑mud.

Rather, he seemed like an old mischievous child.

Old mischievous child??

Wait, isn't this old man just an old mischievous child?

Good grief, isn't he the one teaching there? And Qingbei—Qingbei is his home; he's produced many students, each a successful person.

Of course, limited to his former disciples.

The disciples he took later are just ordinary students; they can't make waves or achieve what his earlier disciples did.

Of course, this is just their wishful thinking.

Normally…… this senior's later disciples have practically filled the entire court.

They not only honorably inherit Qingbei's will.

Even Lu Yuan and Bai Qingfeng's old mischievous, sly nature, they have learned more than half of it.

What's with going out to make contracts, what's with discussing matters—they almost want to strip others of a layer of skin, and also make the other party say something good.

Such achievements directly accelerate the development of the Great Zhou dynasty.

Or they develop with stability.

Even employment and technological issues develop under their hands.

Of course, this is just a later story.

You must be wondering about the relationship between Bai Yi and Bai Qingfeng at this point.

Lu Yuan will tell you, there is basically no relationship.

They just share the Bai surname.

Yes, the Bai family is very powerful, but there has never been any news of a lost child.

Even Bai Qingfeng himself said there was none.

Bai Yi is merely a poor child.

He was kindly discovered by Gu Lie and finally trained to become a right‑hand man.

"Have we been deceived?"

The Grand Elder asked in a low voice.

The Second Elder shook his head, saying with a grim expression: "I don't know, but it seems indeed so."

"But when did Bai Qingfeng arrive? Why hadn't we met him before?"

Upon hearing this, everyone shook their heads.

"I don't know; who knows when he showed up."

Li Shi shrugged.

"I guess when we arrived, he was already here; we just…… didn't see him when we came."

"But I heard a few days ago that he wasn't teaching at the academy?"

Everyone discussed heatedly, seeing that the time was ripe.

Su Liyan gave a light cough.

"Alright, I know you have many doubts; since the treaty is established, you must abide by it, don't let anyone regret later."

Everyone, go back now; we'll just wait for Lu Yuan's news.

Li Shi and a few others looked at each other in dismay; the rest of the people left one after another, and soon only Li Shi, the Grand Elder, the Second Elder, and Chang Fei, who had spoken earlier, remained in the room.

And also the general who spoke first.

Five people in total.

Seeing the five people with icy expressions, they stared without blinking.

Su Liyan glanced guiltily at Gu Qingwan.

Gu Qingwan was not nervous; she calmly unfolded the mural in her hand.

That was an unfinished landscape painting.

In the painting there was a youth, holding a long sword, standing beneath a waterfall.

That tall and desolate silhouette, aside from a powerful aura, had nothing else.

Yes, this person is none other than Lu Yuan.

If you don't look closely, you wouldn't be able to tell.

For example, now, those five people right before our eyes.

"I've long heard that the Great Zhou Dynasty's Imperial Prince is extraordinarily talented; seeing this painting now only confirms that rumor."

"It's just a rumor, no need to take it seriously; I don't know why several generals and elders haven't left yet, while everyone else has gone."

Gu Qingwan raised an eyebrow, her voice flat and waveless, as if it weren't her who had just looked at them.

"We came just to talk about battlefield matters."

"Even if we made a bet, the battlefield is no child's play; we cannot completely overlook it because of a wager."

"Yes." Li Shi nodded: "We also hope Master Lu can return successfully, but we must use the second plan; if Master Lu fails to complete it, we will have to carry it out ourselves."

Saying this, Li Shi unconsciously shook his hands repeatedly, insisting it was not intentional.

Please don't mind them.

Gu Qingwan……

Su Liyan……

What a teammate, is this not caring?

You say they're suffering; if you don't care, they wouldn't be a generation's Sect Leader and Imperial Prince.

They're really just vases.

"We know that, so we're also thinking of countermeasures."

Su Liyan, who had been silent for a long time, spoke.

Her gaze was profoundly deep, like a pool of water, unclear and inscrutable.

"However... what you said, actually I and the Great Zhou Dynasty's Imperial Prince have a solution."

Su Liyan spoke again, her voice much softer, but her gaze remained profound.

"Oh? Could you two please share it with us?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Qingwan exchanged a glance with Su Liyan.

The two softly made a 'shh' sound.

Soon, the five people fell silent.

From their lip movements, it seemed they were saying: 'There is a traitor in the team, apparently related to that long‑absent gu worm.'

"We didn't say it to prevent this plan from being overheard; otherwise, not only the Great Qin Dynasty, but likely the Great Zhou Dynasty as well would start their campaign."

Although they had already estimated that after the Great Qin Dynasty would come their Great Zhou Dynasty.

But they still hope this will not happen.

After all, battlefield losses would be considerable.

Many things would regress.

Even though the Great Zhou Dynasty's weapons are also very advanced.

At this moment, the wind rose, stirring Gu Qingwan's hair strands.

The hand originally placed on the painting, Gu Qingwan withdrew.

Revealing the original appearance of the scroll.

"Alright, you may go back now."

"As for the plan, we'll discuss it later."

"It's not early today either, better rest early." (End of chapter)
