Chapter 4320: 5.0072 Yearning for It
"If you're a guard, then who's guarding whom?"
"The hidden guards by His Majesty's side are all at Divine Realm cultivation or higher. You first need to raise your own power to the Divine Realm threshold before we can talk about this."
Wu Ruomei felt her father's words were too direct and quite hurtful.
Staring at her father with indignation, Wu Ruomei defiantly cried out, "Perhaps His Majesty doesn't mind me?"
"I very much mind," a cold, detached voice drifted over from the side.
The few people present secretly glanced at the speaker, whose attire, as dark as night, accentuated his slender and tall physique.
Within those beautiful peach blossom eyes, a faint sense of detachment always calmly gathered.
Prime Minister Wu Yong: ...
Little Kezi: ...
Wu Ruomei instantly petrified, turning her head with a look of utter despair, her neck stiff, and glanced at Duan Yue.
His Majesty truly disliked her quite a lot!
"Within three months, I will definitely break through to the Divine Realm!" Wu Ruomei vowed, clutching the door frame.
"You said that half a year ago!" Old Man Wu mercilessly exposed his daughter's empty boasts, pulling her up from the ground.
"Dad, let go of me, Dad! I'm not leaving, I won't leave!"
"I want to protect His Majesty! I want to protect His Majesty."
"Gag her and take her away!!!" Wu Yong's veins on his forehead popped with rage. He roared, had someone gag Wu Ruomei's restless mouth, and then dragged her directly away from the spot.
"Your humble servant takes his leave."
Duan Yue's unwavering gaze lightly swept over the departing figures of the father and daughter, and he slightly lowered his eyebrows.
"Is everything ready?"
"Ten thousand people, strictly selected from Mi Xuan and various camps, have been waiting outside Hu Qi Gate for a long time," Shadow said in a deep voice, following closely beside his master.
Duan Yue casually nodded.
These elite guards were all to be sent to Wangchuan and handed over to Qiaoqiao, so meticulous selection was naturally required.
Most of these individuals were masters above level 12 Spiritual Realm.
Once they reached Wangchuan, they would join forces with the other two states, and then all available resources would be concentrated to first forge them into the strongest combat team to counter Heavenly Fate.
To annihilate such an inhumane organization as Heavenly Fate, sacrifices would undoubtedly be inevitable...
Only about half a year remained for them to fully dedicate themselves to preparing this team.
Because Heavenly Fate might already be accelerating its process, invading this peaceful world.
"Young Master Rong has arrived, Your Majesty."
Duan Yue stopped, looking at the slender figure in moon-white robes that appeared outside the Chuihua Gate.
Rong Qing, with picturesque features and a composed expression, stepped forward with unwavering gaze to pay his respects. "Your Majesty."
Duan Yue waved his hand, then suddenly asked, "Rong Qing, what do you think if I lead people to Wangchuan?"
Young Master Rong shook his head, still with a serious expression. "It's not appropriate. The current situation is still unstable, Your Majesty should consider travel matters after another six months."
This lord had just ascended the throne. Although the methods he displayed were sharp and decisive, and he had secretly dealt with many people.
However, with a new emperor ascending, the vast Cangzhou would always be chaotic for a while.
If the Emperor were to leave now, with the capital leaderless, it would naturally be inappropriate.
Duan Yue snorted and stepped outside. "What if I insist on going?"
"Your humble servant is willing to go on your behalf."
Heh, who wants you to go on his behalf?
Rong Qing followed him step by step for a distance. Seeing that he remained silent, he couldn't help but say, "Your subordinate can send daily updates to Your Majesty, reporting on the situation in Wangchuan. And incidentally, inform Your Majesty of Miss Qiao's recent status."
