It was the same study room as before, with just Ye Liuyun and Emperor Xia chatting casually as if they were catching up.
Ye Liuyun began by sharing some of his experiences in the Extraterritorial Area, skillfully avoiding the two times he was intercepted by the imperial family.
Emperor Xia also gave Ye Liuyun a brief account of the casualties on the battlefield, as well as the progress of recruiting troops and resupplying.
They chatted for a while, not yet touching upon the main topic.
After having his fill of casual conversation, Ye Liuyun excused himself.
Anyway, he wasn't in a hurry. What he knew was that the royal family would be worried as long as he stayed, fearing he might attract Burial God.
Indeed, Emperor Xia understood Ye Liuyun's intentions when he noticed that he didn't want to talk about proper business and was about to leave.
He smiled helplessly and reluctantly brought up the main topic.
"I heard that you were besieged by foreign races on the battlefield?"
