Zen Grandfather said, "I just went to the Tai Yu Imperial Court to report on my duties. Afterward, I happened to run into Lord Shaoqing, and we headed back to the garrison together."
"Oh, oh." Yue Li Lian nodded, about to say, "Then we—"
"Stop wandering around. The Imperial Court just emphasized that the war situation is tense. To defend our homeland and protect the common people, our Primordial Chaos Army Manor has been ordered to complete its preparations within three months. There's far too much work to do. Work overtime and push through these three months. You won't have to go to the front lines afterward, and you can at least take several years of leave." Yue Li Jun suddenly turned serious as he spoke.
"Yes..." Yang Xu nodded, then looked at Yue Li Lian.
Yue Li Lian nodded as well. "Fine. I'll buy something in a moment, then head back to the garrison right away."
"You still need to buy something?" Yue Li Jun seemed somewhat displeased.
Yue Li Lian glanced at him, equally annoyed. "We've been worked like dogs. Can't I come out and buy something tasty to take back?"
Seeing this, Zen Grandfather smiled and tried to smooth things over. "This Lian'er may not be a child anymore, but she's still as greedy as she was when she was little."

If we fail to finish it within three months, it'll be a small matter if our Primordial Chaos Army Manor gets punished. If the war goes badly, the ones who suffer will still be the border civilians and the other Primordial Chaos Clan warriors."
"I know, Teacher. I'll speed up!" Yue
