The Highest-Ranking Officer Beneath the Marshal

Li Yu, seeing that Jing Yuan had agreed, did not hesitate and led the two directly to his residence. Upon returning there, Li Yu gestured, "Please sit wherever you like, I'll go cook."

After saying that, Li Yu ignored the two of them and went to the kitchen to prepare lunch, while Jing Yuan and Fu Xuan looked around with curiosity.

After observing for a while, the two noticed a problem: besides Li Yu, it seemed like other people lived here? Could they be those Flügel?

The two, still harboring some doubts, kept the question to themselves, planning to ask it later. After touring around for a while, they returned to the dining table and sat down to chat.

Li Yu didn't keep them waiting long. Soon, he had prepared five dishes and a soup. After he brought the food to the table, the two of them were quite surprised. This was really great, full of the style of the Xianzhou.

Only their Xianzhou in the entire Universe knows how to make this kind of dish, except that the ingredients are different.

"Try my cooking!" After sitting down, Li Yu took out a bottle of Rainbow Fruit and poured it for the two of them. As for drinking alcohol? Li Yu didn't even consider it. He was a minor on the Xianzhou, so why would he drink alcohol!

Neither Jing Yuan nor Fu Xuan mentioned this matter. The two were currently attracted by the drink in Li Yu's hand. Seeing the drink radiating seven-colored light, they were both very curious.

In particular, when Li Yu opened the lid, a rich fruity aroma instantly filled the entire room, which greatly surprised them. What kind of fruit could it be?

"Please, don't be shy!" Li Yu poured juice for the two of them and raised his glass in a toast. Seeing this, Jing Yuan and Fu Xuan also raised their juices and drank with Li Yu.

When the two tasted the Rainbow Fruit, their eyes lit up. It tasted really good! Especially Fu Xuan, whose favorite milk tea had quietly slipped out of the picture.

"Try it, these things must be rare even in the Universe." Li Yu said, taking the lead in picking up his chopsticks and beginning to savor the delicious food.

Jing Yuan and Fu Xuan didn't stand on ceremony and immediately got to work. After tasting the dishes prepared by Li Yu, their eyes lit up.

As the person in charge of Xianzhou Luofu, Jing Yuan had tasted many delicacies, but this was the first time he had ever tasted such a delicacy prepared by Li Yu.

It must be said that the taste was quite good. The three of them toasted each other, using juice instead of alcohol, and started chatting. They talked about some interesting things in their lives, but didn't talk about anything special.

During the meal, Li Yu casually inquired, "I wonder if there's anything interesting out there? I've heard my elders talk about the Aeons of Trailblaze. I wonder if Jing Yuan has any information about that? I'm quite curious."

Now, Li Yu wanted to know how far the plot had progressed. Faced with Li Yu's question, Jing Yuan didn't hide anything, but smiled and said, "The Trailblaze Aeons? You may not know, but the Trailblaze Aeons has already fallen. However, those who walk the path of Path of Trailblaze have set sail again."

Speaking of this, he also thought of the Astral Express and those little guys. It seems they've gone to a place called Amphoreus? He wondered how they were doing.

Jing Yuan explained these things to Li Yu, and after hearing them, Li Yu immediately understood the situation.

Amphoreus? Does that mean they'll reach the Iron Tomb? I guess it won't be long before they ask the Xianzhou for help, right? Maybe we can get involved then.

With this thought in mind, Li Yu had already made his decision. His arrival was perfectly timed, and he felt quite pleased with himself.

Knowing where the plot was, Li Yu felt relieved. After listening to Jing Yuan's explanation, Li Yu smiled and said, "If there's a chance in the future, I'd like to get to know them. Speaking of which, I received an invitation from the Genius Society. I wonder if you know anything about that genius named Herta?"

Jing Yuan wasn't too surprised to hear this. After all, Li Yu had become a new genius, so it was quite normal for him to be invited by the Herta. It would be strange if Li Yu hadn't been invited.

"La Signora. Herta? She's a truly remarkable genius. You can accept her invitation!" Jing Yuan chatted with Li Yu about Herta while they ate, recounting many of Herta's achievements to Li Yu.

Li Yu listened silently, and at the end, Jing Yuan couldn't help but speak up, "Now you are a member of our Xianzhou Alliance. No matter what happens in the future, please remember to speak up. Our Xianzhou doesn't cause trouble, but naturally we are not afraid of trouble either!"

Jing Yuan spoke with considerable confidence, and his words were also a way of telling Li Yu that they would be family from now on, and that she didn't need to worry about being bullied by outsiders.

"That's right. If anyone wants to be your enemy, just say the word. No matter where you are, our Xianzhou will provide support immediately!" Fu Xuan also spoke up at this moment.

Both of them knew that Li Yu would definitely not stay on the Xianzhou for long, and that he might leave Xianzhou Luofu to travel to other places soon. Their words gave Li Yu a Sea-Stabilizing Needle.

Listening to their conversation, Li Yu didn't say anything. She simply raised her juice glass and took a sip, conveying her meaning without words. If needed, Li Yu would naturally speak up.

Wouldn't it be foolish not to use your connections? If you really encounter someone you can't handle, just call Lan over and that's it. Li Yu, as the Hunt Emanator, has that kind of ability.

"Brother Lan, look here! There are remnants of the Abundance clan here. Let's see if he comes or not." Li Yu couldn't help but chuckle to himself. He was quite looking forward to summoning Lan.

After the three of them had eaten and drunk their fill, Li Yu tidied up and then led them for a stroll outside. They eventually arrived at the library, where the staff were still busy.

Although they only need the most crucial part of the data, the amount of data is too massive, and it's estimated that it won't be finished anytime soon.

They were busy until evening on the Xianzhou before they finally finished. Jing Yuan invited Li Yu to have dinner on the Xianzhou, and Li Yu accepted.

Invitations to meals are a reciprocal affair, and there's no reason to refuse. After finishing their meal on the Xianzhou, Fu Xuan led Li Yu to the house that had been prepared for him.

If all goes well, this will be Li Yu's home on the Xianzhou from now on. The whole house has been cleaned up and is ready for immediate move-in.

Li Yu didn't stand on ceremony and stayed there. Jing Yuan had his people work overtime to analyze the data they had obtained from Li Yu. It wasn't until dawn that Jing Yuan finally got a definite answer.

"That little guy is truly remarkable. To be able to break through in such harsh conditions, it seems our Xianzhou has really produced an extraordinary genius!" Jing Yuan couldn't help but exclaim as he looked at the report in his hand.

The only pity is that Li Yu didn't want to be a general in Xianzhou Luofu. If only Li Yu had been willing to be a general in Xianzhou Luofu, he could have retired and done what he liked.

Shaking his head, Jing Yuan didn't think about it anymore. Instead, he contacted several generals and marshals. After everyone was connected, Jing Yuan shared the information with them.

After listening to Jing Yuan's words, everyone was amazed by Li Yu's skill. After Jing Yuan finished his report, everyone's eyes turned to the marshal at the head of the group.

Now that Cangcheng is gone, and Li Yu has no intention of rebuilding Cangcheng, what are his plans? Everyone is pondering this question.

"General Jing Yuan, have you spoken with him? What are his plans for the future?" The marshal looked at Jing Yuan and asked this question.

Hearing the marshal's question, Jing Yuan said somewhat helplessly, "I invited him to stay on the Xianzhou before, and I promised to make him a general in the future, but he refused."

The marshal nodded upon hearing this. She already had a general idea of what was going on. It seemed that the genius had no interest in power. After thinking for a moment, the marshal said, "Since he is unwilling, then let him be."

She didn't press the issue too much. She figured that if a suitable person were found among the generals present, they would be the first to retire, right? Now that a suitable person had appeared, and given his special status, and the fact that he wasn't interested in becoming a general, there was nothing she could do.

"Of course, the other party doesn't want to be a general, but we can't refuse. So, from now on, Mr. Li Yu will be the deputy commander of our Xianzhou Alliance, second only to me. Whatever he needs in the future, our Xianzhou Alliance will do its best to help him, and he won't need to report to me!" The marshal directly stated his idea.

Upon hearing this, everyone was immediately taken aback. Good heavens, they'd even brought up Marshal? But on second thought, it didn't seem like a bad idea. After all, Li Yu's strength and status were suitable.

If this matter were made public, the people of Cangcheng would probably agree, since he is the only survivor who emerged after Cangcheng was swallowed up. To those people, Li Yu's identity is very special.

"I have no objection!" Jing Yuan spoke first. The marshal's decision was merely an announcement to everyone.

"I have no objection either!" Feixiao followed suit. She didn't care about it at all, and even hoped it would be so. Maybe she could hunt down the remnants of the Abundance with Li Yu in the future, since Li Yu still had an army that had been blessed by the Hunt.

"Agreed!" Boss Yao followed suit, and then the other generals also agreed, because Li Yu was worth it. It would be good for their Xianzhou to have another Marshal.

Although Li Yu's combat strength has not been demonstrated, it should not be too weak. After all, he is Emanator- level being. There are only a few people on the Xianzhou who have truly received the blessing of the Reignbow Arbiter.

Li Yu is now one of them, not to mention that Li Yu also commands an army that has been blessed by the Hunt. Perhaps the Reignbow Arbiter shares this idea?

And so, the decision regarding Li Yu was made immediately, passed unanimously, with no one objecting; everyone fully supported Master Yuan's approach.

"Alright, then it's settled. I'll announce this to the entire Universe later!" Without any hesitation, the Marshal finalized the matter.
