Battle Through the Heavens: Flame Emperor, Please Restrain Yourself—Your Brother Is Truly Quite Simple and Honest

To others, the precious opportunity to have pills refined was the least valuable thing to him, because he could ask Old Yao to do it, and in the future, he could also have Little Yan refine pills for him.

If he used one hundred thousand merit points to exchange for medicinal ingredients, he could gather nearly enough for two batches of Spirit Nurturing Pills.

All he wanted were artifact-refining materials.

"Yes!" Meng Xu accepted the token and list, then said, "Commandant, the Commander said that once you returned, you should visit the Commander's Residence. Princess Yaoye wishes to see you."

The princess wanted to see him?

She probably wanted to recruit him. He wondered whether she would give him a gift upon meeting, like Yun Yun had.

With that thought, Zhang Yuan gave a slight nod. "I understand. In that case, go fetch the horses. We'll enter the town together."

Meng Xu naturally had no objections. He immediately had his and Zhang Yuan's horses brought over. The two returned to Qingyun Town together, then went their separate ways outside the Commander's Residence.

Everyone under Qin Zhendong knew Zhang Yuan. More precisely, there was no one in the entire Black Armored Guard who did not know him now. Someone immediately led him into the inner hall.

Qin Zhendong was chatting with a woman. She wore luxurious brocade robes, and her tall figure carried the dignified bearing cultivated by the imperial family. Yet her entire body exuded a mature charm.

The moment Zhang Yuan entered the inner hall, he noticed the woman, but his expression did not change in the slightest.

She was beautiful, but she could not compare to either Yun Yun, whom he had just met, or Xun Er.

Princess Yaoye also sized Zhang Yuan up at once, a flash of astonishment passing through her eyes.

The portrait had not captured even half of Zhang Yuan's bearing or appearance.

"Greetings, Commander, Princess Yaoye." Zhang Yuan cupped his fists to the two of them in salute.

"Zhang Yuan, you came at the right time. I was just talking to the princess about you. Why not tell her yourself?" Qin Zhendong had Zhang Yuan sit down, then brought up a topic.

It was mainly about the details of how he had dealt with the Illusionary Mist Nine Bandits, as well as some matters of military strategy.

Whether Princess Yaoye genuinely liked hearing it or was merely being polite, she listened attentively throughout.

"Commandant Zhang, I heard from Commander Qin that you offered Command Commissioner Qin Zhenming a plan to deal with the Beast Tide in the nearby Magical Beast Mountain Range. Yaoye would like to observe and learn on-site. What do you think?" Princess Yaoye suddenly asked.

Zhang Yuan smiled faintly. "For this matter, Your Highness may simply speak with the Commander and the Command Commissioner. There is no need to seek my approval."

Princess Yaoye shook her head. "I wish to train under your command for a time, Commandant Zhang, so I still need your consent."

Train under his command?

Well, not only was there no gift upon meeting him, she even wanted him to be her babysitter.

Zhang Yuan pondered for a moment, then asked, "I can take on the assignment, but what do I get out of it?"

Princess Yaoye: ?

Qin Zhendong: .
