I'm not so sure."

Upon Suika's words, the expressions of Wei Yanwu, Wei Yenwu, and Lin Qingyan, Liu He from Chen standing beside them, immediately changed.

"Do you know your age?"

Wei Yenwu reached out to stop the other two and said in a serious tone.

Suika pointed to her nose.

"Given my situation, shouldn't I know?"

"Are you one of them too?" Lin Qingyan looked at Suika with a scrutinizing gaze.

Suika opened her hands

"What, doesn't it look like it?"

Hey, just kidding, I have nothing to do with them.

Of course, I do know a few of them.

For example, that penguin, didn't Governor Wei just let it play by itself in Lungmen?"

After Suika finished speaking, Wei Yenwu's expression became much more serious.

"It seems you really know quite a lot?"

Suika waved her hand.

"I'm not some kind of devil, there's no need to be so serious."

You can see me the same way you see that penguin; I actually have a pretty good impression of Great Yan.

If you really need to deal with that thing, I can help...

But I need to know whether you're planning to sell me off to test His situation, or to treat me as a comrade-in-arms and fight alongside me.

Of course, when I said this, I was expressing my stance.

Suika calmly took out her Ibuki Gourd and began to enjoy her sake.

Chen, who was standing to the side, was completely confused by what the two sides were saying, but she eventually managed to understand some of the things they were saying.

Of the two conditions offered by the Great Yan side, the first seems good, but the second is somewhat ill-intentioned.

The Great Yan government is about to face a very dangerous enemy, one that even Suika isn't confident she can defeat.

But since she happened to know about this, she pointed it out directly.

This is a warning to the authorities: they can ask for her help, but only through open and transparent cooperation, not through this deliberate concealment of important information.

Judging from Wei Yenwu's expression, he knew about this, but he didn't say anything.

At this moment, Chen's mood turned sour.

After all, in her eyes, Suika was a comrade she could entrust with her back on the battlefield.

Withholding important information from a comrade is a form of betrayal.

Feeling Chen's gaze, Wei Yenwu naturally felt uneasy, but at this moment he represented the official government of the Great Yan.

So I had no choice but to bite the bullet and say...

"Since Miss Suika knows my age, then I won't hide it from you."

According to our information, there is indeed a chance that he/she will wake up in the next few years.

We have already witnessed your military prowess.

Therefore, I hope that you can lend a helping hand to the Great Yan at that time.

If this problem can be successfully resolved, the first clause might be granted some leniency.

For example, there are no restrictions on your leaving the country, but you need to spend a certain amount of time within the Great Yan each year.

Suika slammed the Ibuki Gourd on the table.

"That's right."

If you need my help, just say so openly.

I won't refuse anything I can do.

But your previous concealment was very bad, and I didn't like it at all.

But then again...

I have three main hobbies: drinking, making friends, and fighting.

But there aren't many places on this land that I can give my all to, and this year is one of them.

So I'll take this on; I'll definitely lend a hand when it comes to dealing with Him."

After hearing this, the expressions of the people who had just looked rather grim relaxed.

Even though there were some setbacks along the way, the final goal was achieved perfectly, and they were able to send a message back to the imperial court.

As for Suika's true identity, whether she can be used by the Great Yan is not something they need to worry about right now.

No one cares how binding such a verbal agreement is.

Their actions were all aimed at probing Suika's attitude towards Great Yan.

Their work is done; the rest of the trouble is left to the bigwigs in the imperial court.

With this in mind, the meeting concluded successfully.

After Wei Yenwu indicated that they could leave, Chen grabbed Suika's small hand and turned to walk out.

Just as she was about to walk out the door, Suika looked at the three people inside the house and locked her gaze on Lin Qingyan.

"Miss over there, I've done a divination. You're destined to meet someone from Rhodes Island. If you have some free time, you could set aside your status and visit Rhodes Island's headquarters, chat with them, and you might be pleasantly surprised!"

Ideally, this should be done while the Rhodes Island forces are in the Great Yan...

If I remember correctly, they'll only rest for a day or two before leaving!

After finishing her sentence, Suika didn't wait for Lin Qingyan's questions and followed Chen out of the Governor's Mansion.

"Governor Wei, your niece has quite the temper..."

After Chen and Suika left, Liu He spoke in a deep voice.

"Sigh, it was only after so much effort that things finally started to ease up a bit..."

Wei Yenwu rubbed his temples, feeling somewhat heartbroken.

Remembering the look Suika gave him when she left, he could only hope that she could persuade Chen Hui-chieh not to hold a grudge against his uncle over this matter.

After Suika followed Chen out the door, she noticed that Cui Xiang was standing in the hallway, looking somewhat hesitant.

"What? You think you shouldn't have thrown a tantrum at Wei Yenwu in front of outsiders?"

Suika patted her shoulder and asked familiarly.

Chen stared at Suika.

"It wasn't him, it was you..."

"If you want to ask about Sui, I'll tell you what I know when we get back... But let me make it clear first, I don't know much either, since my understanding of Him comes from hearsay."

Suika thought for a moment. Given Chen's status, she didn't need to know things that needed to be kept secret from the public.

And then again, is there really such a high level of secrecy surrounding his 20-year-old identity?

Suika didn't think so, after all, the Sui Affairs Bureau was specifically set up to keep an eye on Him from the beginning.

The various regional officials were also generally aware of His situation, along with those who were monitoring the Sui Family's brothers and sisters.

Therefore, the official understanding of age in the Great Yan is not lacking.

It's just that this information won't be shared with ordinary people.

The reason, of course, is to avoid causing trouble and to maintain domestic stability.

After all, if everyone knew how powerful the Sui Family was, there was no guarantee that some ambitious individuals wouldn't try to cooperate with Sui or do something irrational.

You should know that the Sui Family already harbored hatred towards the imperial court because of his younger sister.

Chen heard her words and looked at the tall, green-haired figure outside.

"Shouldn't this kind of thing be kept secret?"

"What's there to keep secret? The official reason for not disclosing this Great Yan is simply to stabilize the government and maintain control."

Neither you nor I are rulers, so why not have a chat?

Besides, I can say whatever I want to whomever I want...

And they didn't ask me to keep it a secret before we left, did they?

Chen thought back for a moment, and it seemed that Suika was right.

Although Wei Yenwu and the two men behind him were surprised that Suika knew about that "age" thing, they didn't actually ask her to keep it a secret.

After going outside, Chen jumped onto the three-wheeled vehicle and said to Hoshiguma...

"Let's go to your house!"

Seeing this, Suika didn't get into the car, but pointed at the three-wheeled vehicle and said...

"This thing seats three people, isn't it overloaded...?"

Upon hearing Suika's words, Chen and Hoshiguma both fell silent.

Just as Chen was about to say, "I am a policeman, who in Lungmen is investigating me?", a knocking sound came from not far away.

"Are there too many of you to fit? Would you like me to give you a ride?"

Looking up, I saw Swire, the little tiger, driving a supercar past in the distance.

"Beatrix, what are you doing here?" Chen asked, surprised to see her.

"How did I get here? How dare you ask that, you Sausage Dragon?"

Skipping work every other day? What do you think the Guard Department is?

Having a good uncle is truly amazing! I finally managed to scrape together a vacation, and my travel plans were completely ruined by your impromptu trip.

"I'm so angry!"

Upon hearing Chen's question, Swire became furious, her face turning red and her neck bulging. She pointed her finger at Chen's nose and began to curse.

Upon hearing her words, Chen touched his nose sincerely.

"I'm so sorry..."

"Tsk, I get angry just looking at that Sausage Dragon, don't get in my car... Little Suika, come on, where are you going? I'll give you a ride."

Swire gave a proud snort and then looked at Suika.

"Okay, let's meet at home then."

Suika jumped into Swire's car while Chen and Hoshiguma were speechless, and then drove off in a flamboyant manner.

The two followed closely behind in a three-wheeled motorcycle.

Before long, Suika and Swire arrived at Hoshiguma's house.

"Won't you come in for a drink of water?" Suika invited, seeing that Swire hadn't gotten out of the car.

"Forget it... I finally get a day off, and seeing that Sausage Dragon makes me angry..."

A saying that Swire and elegant spirit.

"Come on, we've got some interesting secrets to tell you. We're going to talk about something interesting you won't hear outside!"

Suika continued to extend the invitation.

"We... we don't have that much curiosity."

However, since it's Suika's invitation, it would be too inappropriate not to attend..."

Watching Swire's tail sway so much it was almost a blur, Suika smiled inwardly.
