Big Sis Jingliu Shears the Fox's Wool / The Alliance Reacts; A Heated Reunion

Jing Yuan also tapped his head, revealing a troubled smile.

Chapter 923 Jingliu Sister Jingliu the Fox

"This is a very important matter, so it's reasonable to take your time writing the official report in detail. You can just send a text message to report on your answers first."

The most urgent task is to stabilize Luofu, both internally and externally, and to take advantage of the momentum of this great victory to quell the rebellion and restore order to Luofu.

Jingliu forward, her silver hair swaying slightly. She looked Gwen up and down, showing no sign of fatigue, but still spoke.

"It'll be good for him to rest for a while..."

"That's right, that's right, I'm so confused."

Upon hearing this, Jing Yuan immediately chuckled wryly, patted his forehead, and looked at Gwen earnestly,

"I am already quite exhausted from guarding the outside, Gwen must be even more tired after fighting the Annihilation Lord for seven days and seven nights inside."

"If you don't mind, would you like to come back to the Divine Might Palace with me? Everything there is in good condition, and it would be a nice place to rest."

"In that case, we shall respectfully comply."

Upon hearing this, Gwen glanced at Jingliu, then at Fei Xiao, and finally at Jing Yuan, nodding with a smile.

The breakthrough in his Cosmo, along with some subtle chain reactions, prevented Gwen from feeling too tired. However, after fighting for so long, he really should take a break.

As for Jing Yuan's invitation for him to stay temporarily at the Divine Might Palace, Gwen didn't find it strange at all.

As an outsider, he took charge of the annihilation of the treacherous Annihilation Lord Phantylia of Luofu in front of the two generals of Xianzhou. In the end, he not only came up with the move "Soul Returns", but also attracted the Emperor Bow God to bestow a light arrow.

Such a Changle Heaven event, which could be sung about by storytellers for hundreds or thousands of years, must be handled with care, even if it is a good thing, otherwise it may turn into a troublesome matter.

Jing Yuan wanted to take him to the Divine Might Palace, both for convenience and to protect him from any trouble.

Whoosh!

Just as the group left the Jianmu seal, and Jing Yuan was about to say a few words to Fu Xuan before returning, a soft murmur suddenly rang out, and a slightly dim arrow of light pierced through space, returning to Gwen and attracting everyone's attention.

"?"

Sensing the aura emanating from the arrow of light, Fu Xuan, the Astral Express Crew, and the arrayed Cloud Cavalry, unaware of what had just transpired deep within the Jianmu seal, stared in astonishment at the arrow of light.

Even Fei Xiao, Jingliu, and others who knew its origins were equally astonished—

Arrows are meant to be shot out to kill the enemy.

Everyone thought that after Gwen fired that arrow, the radiant arrow bestowed by the Emperor Bow God would be lost.

Unexpectedly, it has now flown back on its own.

"... Truly worthy of being a divine object bestowed by the Emperor Bow God."

After a moment of silence, Jingliu suddenly spoke, revealing the origin of the light arrow and confirming Fu Xuan and the others' suspicions. He then looked at Gwen—

"Now that the arrow has returned, let's accept it properly."

Perhaps next time, we can do it again...

"That's how it should be."

Gwen gave Jingliu a meaningful look, then said nothing more, just smiled and nodded, drawing his Final Sword, which had been restored to its original shape but now had a layer of cold light, and attached the light arrow to the blade.

Under the incredulous gazes of many, the arrow of light emitted a familiar, cold radiance, disappearing in a fleeting, chilling aura. Meanwhile, a strange sword pattern appeared on the sword in Gwen's hand.

"Fu Qing, I'll leave things here to you for now. I'll take our great hero back to the Divine Might Palace to rest for a while."

Jing Yuan glanced at his master with a subtle look, then spoke to Fu Xuan without making a sound.

"Alright, leave this to me. You may go now."

Although Fu Xuan was still a little confused, she had received Jing Yuan's hint. She casually cast a divination which showed great fortune, which put her at ease.

Back at the Divine Might Palace, Jing Yuan got busy. Although Fei Xiao was only a temporary ally who came to provide support, judging from the way she was scratching her head at her desk, it was clear that this official document would take quite a while to write.

Dan Heng stayed in the Scale Abyss Realm to cooperate with Fu Xuan and accompany the Astral Express Crew. Only Jingliu stayed here to have tea with Gwen.

However, Jingliu is not a talkative person... at least for now, he only asks him about the battle from time to time, and then falls into deep thought.

In this relaxed and peaceful moment, Gwen unconsciously yawned and slowly closed his eyes. Although he didn't feel particularly tired, his eyelids were still drooping a little after relaxing...

When Jingliu came to his senses from his reverie and was about to ask another question, he saw that Gwen had already closed his eyes and was breathing evenly and slowly.

"..."

Looking at Gwen's peaceful sleeping face, one could not see the ferocity of his seven-day, seven-night battle with the Annihilation Lord, nor the weight of his summoning of the endless Cloud Cavalry' heroic spirits. He seemed to be just a young man who had fallen asleep from exhaustion. A soft smile involuntarily appeared on Jingliu's lips.

"Hmm..."

When Gwen slowly awoke and opened his eyes again, he found the room empty and eerily quiet; even the chirping of insects and birds outside the window was barely audible.

"Although I wasn't tired, I still took a nap."

Gwen stretched, preparing to move his body a bit, but suddenly realized that a long trench coat was covering him.

"This style..."

It seems to be Fei Xiao's?

Gwen immediately matched it with the trench coat Fei Xiao was wearing, and was somewhat puzzled as to why it was Fei Xiao's and not Jingliu's...

Surely it couldn't be that Master Jing had nothing else to take off and just grabbed it from Fei Xiao, right?

Just as Gwen was lost in thought, a figure passing by outside the window saw that he had woken up, turned around, and pushed open the door to enter—

"Oh, you're awake?"

How did you sleep?

Sweat beaded on his forehead, and he exuded a languid air reminiscent of someone who had just finished a vigorous workout. Fei Xiao, whose fox ears formed a subtle curve on his head, asked with a smile.

"Excellent sleep quality."

Gwen smiled and nodded, then folded the trench coat in two and handed it to Fei Xiao.

"Thank you for the trench coat, here you go."

"You're welcome. Let's put it aside for now. I just finished sparring with Sister Jingliu and I need to take a shower."

Fei Xiao smiled and waved his hand, then casually asked...

"You've had a nap, would you like something to eat?"

"If it's not too much trouble, I'd like to try the dishes from the Xianzhou."

Gwen nodded with a smile.

"Okay, I'll let you know for me. I'll be going now."

Fei Xiao came quickly and left just as swiftly, leaving only Gwen and Jingliu in the room once again.

"What's the difference between this general and your disciple, Sister Jingliu?"

Gwen looked at Jingliu, whose skin was flushed slightly from intense exercise but was not sweaty Fei Xiao's, and remained as cool and serene as moonlight, and asked with a smile.

"..."

Jingliu stared at Gwen silently for a moment, and seeing that his expression remained unchanged, he spoke as usual.

"Whether in martial arts or fighting spirit, he is far superior to Jing Yuan."

Jingliu spoke frankly, but still tried to save face for his disciple, saying...

"However, for them as generals, military force is only one part of the criteria for evaluation, not the whole."

Chapter 924 Alliance Reaction, Reunion and Conflict

Gwen naturally supported the Jingliu's approach.

The general of the Xianzhou is not just a vanguard leading the charge, but also the Commander of an Army. The leader of the entire Xianzhou must also have considerable ability to handle mundane affairs, and his strength cannot be judged solely by his power.

Right now, Jing Yuan has written a detailed account of the incident and is discussing with Gwen the parts that need to be deleted or revised.

It wasn't that Jing Yuan didn't trust Gwen, but rather that he could see through Gwen's overt or covert attempts to keep secrets.

Since Gwen has this idea, Jing Yuan naturally doesn't mind cooperating.

The fact that the Emperor Bow God was willing to send down the arrow of light was enough for him and the Xianzhou to have a great deal of trust and respect for him.

He already knew that Gwen came from a civilization that had not yet set foot on space, yet had already offended the Anti-Matter Legion. It was reasonable for him to want to conceal his detailed information for self-preservation, and he didn't mind helping him.

Moreover, this is good for both sides in some ways—

While Gwen did receive the blessing of the Emperor Bow God, he was ultimately not a member of the Xianzhou. If he were to close the distance too hastily, it might cause unforeseen complications.

Maintaining a proper distance now, and gradually closing the gap over time, will allow things to fall into place naturally, which is actually better.

After Jing Yuan and Gwen finished their discussion, Fei Xiao, having taken Jing Yuan's advice into consideration, completed his own report.

Jing Yuan finished submitting his report first and stretched as he appeared in front of Gwen.

"Call...

It's really tiring.

I can't imagine how busy I would be without your help.

Jing Yuan stretched his body and said to Gwen with a smile.

"It was nothing."

Gwen smiled and casually poured Jing Yuan a cup of tea.

"But this is probably not the end yet, is it?"

The trouble Phantylia has caused this time probably doesn't just involve the Demon King's Secret Transmission Sect, does it?

"These are all minor matters. Once the situation has stabilized, we can hand them over to Fu Qing."

Jing Yuan said with a smile.

"Are you really not afraid that Grand Diviner Fu won't grow tall?"

Gwen raised an eyebrow and teased.

"Well, young people always need more experience..."

Jing Yuan didn't take it to heart and said with a smile, which fully illustrated what "Old Deng" meant.

"You really are..."

Gwen shrugged, then suddenly changed the subject—

"Do you want me to help you cure your Mara-Struck?"

This will prevent them from continuing to exploit young people with impunity.

"Then I'll reserve a license plate number in advance. I can't go back on my word when the time comes."

Jing Yuan laughed.

Jing Yuan's report mentioned that Gwen helped Jingliu heal his Mara-Struck, which in turn enabled the former Sword Champion of Luofu Jingliu to contribute in the Battle of Phantylia.

Only the four of them know the actual situation, so there's no problem with them sticking to the same story.

Although Jingliu was unwilling to accept credit that did not belong to her, the parties involved had no objections, and this would help her continue to push forward her plans, giving her more room to maneuver. Therefore, she ultimately did not refuse.

The league's top leadership is taking this news very seriously and is currently holding an emergency discussion.

But regardless of the outcome, General Jing Yuan could not possibly participate in the experiment as a direct sample.

It's impossible until sufficient safety and success rates are proven.

"Of course, you're my long-term meal ticket in Luofu."

Gwen understood Jing Yuan's implied meaning and responded with a smile.

"Speaking of which, do you need to gather some of those... Heroic Spirits you summoned?"

The Divine Might Palace has already received hundreds of reports of the Suiyang Riots, most of which involve ordinary people reporting that heroic spirits were witnessed by them. This is, in a way, disrespectful to those heroic spirits.

Jing Yuan changed the subject and asked tentatively.

This might concern Gwen card; it's best not to ask too many questions and only hint at it.

"If necessary, of course."

However, once the Phantylia remnants of Luofu's soul are cleared away, they will have completed their mission in this battle and will return home.

Gwen gently shook his head, leaving the decision to Jing Yuan.
