Chapter 1891: Jiang Wuyue Coming Out of the Shadows (Seeking Subscriptions)_1

Hearing these words, Tang Wulin took a deep breath and nodded. "Alright then, I'll trust you once, Commander," he said.

If the rewards for the contest cannot be disclosed, they surely won't be disappointing!

Perhaps they might really be as beneficial as Long Yuxue said!

Seeing that Tang Wulin had agreed, Long Yuxue seemed pleased and said, "Great, after I receive the notification, I'll tell you the specific rules and procedures for the Mecha contest!"

With a Saint Craftsmith participating, they would undoubtedly obtain an excellent result for the special duty department, barring any accidents!

Tang Wulin nodded slightly, "Mm."

As for Gu Yue, she asked, "Commander Long, I heard that the emperor of the Xingluo Empire, Dai Tianling, has passed away, is that true or false?"

Although she was in the Blood God Army, she never neglected to pay attention to the outside world, always using her communicator to gather information from the outside world at intervals!

Long Yuxue looked surprised and then affirmed, "It's true. A few days ago, the emperor of the Xingluo Empire did pass away, and his son, Dai Yueyan, has taken the throne!"

"To be honest, the Xingluo Empire was already in a very precarious situation, and now this has happened! It's likely to affect the morale of the empire's military!"

Tang Wulin's eyes widened in disbelief, "What? The emperor of the Xingluo Empire, Dai Tianling, has passed away?"

During their replacement of Shrek Academy to participate in the Continent-wide Young Soul Master Elite Contest, Dai Tianling's vitality was still very strong, he should have been able to live for several more decades at least!

He hadn't expected that in such a short time, the other party would have passed away, making it a bit hard to believe!

Long Yuxue shrugged her shoulders. "Perhaps it was a sudden demise. The major powers initially suspect that Dai Yueyan, in a bid for the throne, had a hand in Dai Tianling's death, but there is no concrete evidence!"

Seeing this, Tang Wulin immediately objected, "Impossible, Dai Yueyan was the most likely to inherit the throne in the Xingluo Empire, so there was no need for him to do such a thing!"

"There must be other secrets behind this incident!"

Noticing his intense reaction, Long Yuxue raised an eyebrow. "Oh? Tang Wulin, it seems like you are quite familiar with the royal household."

Tang Wulin shook his head. "Not familiar, but we have been to the Royal family of the Xingluo Empire! It's very clear that the previous emperor, Dai Tianling, valued Dai Yueyan and Dai Yun'er the most."

"And with the latter being a woman, unable to compete for the throne, the one who would definitely secure the emperorship was none other than Dai Yueyan!"

Long Yuxue pursed her lips slightly, "No matter the specifics, it's the Xingluo Empire's business, and it has nothing to do with us; focusing on doing our best is more important than anything else!"

Just then, a soldier from the special duty department walked in and reported respectfully, "Report! Deputy Director, Colonel Jiang Wuyue wishes to see you!"

Long Yuxue expressed surprise. "Jiang Wuyue? Has he finally decided to come out of his room?"

In the past few months, apart from Jiang Qiyue, almost no one had seen him!

Tang Wulin, standing beside her, quietly pinched his nose and suggested, "Um... Commander Long, I'd like to meet him too, since I bear some responsibility for Officer Jiang's condition."

If he had known the other's pride was so strong, he would have conceded from the start!

Long Yuxue glanced at him sideways and did not refuse...

...

As Long Yuxue and Tang Wulin came together, Jiang Wuyue did not display any discontent but smiled and said, "Yuxue, you're here?"

She replied indifferently, "Yes, it's been a few months, and you've finally decided to leave your room, huh?"

It seemed the other party was in a much better state than she had anticipated!

Jiang Wuyue was taken aback, then apologetically said, "I'm sorry, Yuxue, for making you worry. I've come to terms with it now!"

Long Yuxue crossed her arms and made a face, "You don't need to apologize to me, I think the only one worried about you is July."

This gesture filled Jiang Wuyue's heart with warmth, and it seemed that Yuxue still cared about him, she just wasn't willing to admit it...

Standing to the side, Tang Wulin suddenly spoke up, "Um, Officer Jiang, I'm very sorry for the trouble I caused with our last duel!"

Jiang Wuyue's mouth twitched, and he waved his hand dismissively, "Let's not mention the past. I was outmatched, so I deserved to become the laughingstock of the Ferocious God Legion!"

While in his heart, he cursed, "Damn it, why does this brat have to bring up the most embarrassing thing?"

Tang Wulin paused, puzzled, "Why do you think you were a laughingstock, Officer Jiang? None of the officers or soldiers who watched the duel made fun of you!"

If one gives their all in a friendly exchange with an opponent, how could they become a laughingstock?

Clenching his fists, Jiang Wuyue gritted his teeth, "How is it possible? I, an old soldier who has been through life and death with the Ferocious God Legion so many times, lost to a newcomer. I don't even need to look to imagine the sneers on the other officers' faces!"

After saying that, he turned his gaze toward Long Yuxue, "Yuxue, you should understand!"

Unexpectedly, Long Yuxue shook her head and said earnestly, "Wuyue, the other officers never made fun of you from start to finish. It's your pride that is too strong, always wanting to be satisfied with the outcome!"

"Don't forget, when you were beaten up by Wulin and couldn't even stand properly, most of the officers were actually cheering for you."

Her words struck Jiang Wuyue like thunder, causing a tumultuous upheaval in his heart...

His entire demeanor underwent a dramatic change...

Those officers weren't mocking me, but... cheering for me?

I had misunderstood from the very start...

…

Northern Military District!

A rough-looking male officer with well-built muscles loudly said to the woman in front of him, "Xiao Yan, I've liked you since you joined the legion. Would you give me a chance?"

The surrounding officers joined in the teasing, "Say yes to him! Say yes to him!"

"Yan Ku is the youngest Soul Sage in our Northern Military District! He's a perfect match for Xu Xiaoyan!"

"Cough cough… Although Yan Ku is strong, his looks are quite debatable; to say they're a perfect match is a bit of a stretch."

"As long as he's powerful, looks don't matter at all. Xu Xiaoyan, you must seize this opportunity!"

However, Xu Xiaoyan's brow furrowed slightly, and she promptly refused, "Sorry, I already have someone I like!"

Although the former had taken great care of her, she merely saw him as a senior!

Having said that, she gently waved her hand toward Yue Zhengyu, who was not far away.

Seeing this, Yan Ku's eyes grew colder, "Xiao Yan, is he the one you like? Other than having a pretty face, what is there about him that's worth your affection?"

He made no attempt to hide his disdain for Yue Zhengyu, who had already approached Xu Xiaoyan.

Yue Zhengyu's expression turned dark, "What do you mean by that?"

Although he had anticipated such a situation, he didn't expect it to make him so angry!

Yan Ku scoffed, "I mean exactly what I said; I don't think you're worthy of Xiao Yan with your abilities!!"

"If you're a man, fight me fair and square. The loser leaves Xiao Yan for good!"
