The decision for Ye Xingxue to take up a position in the military was made before he and Ling Luo went to the Dibuken Empire to attend its anniversary celebration.

Ye Feng had already had his onboarding arrangements almost completely taken care of.

However, he and Ling Luo would be gone for at least three to five years. Before leaving, he needed to make proper arrangements for their businesses before he could go to the military to take up his post.

He and Ling Luo own numerous businesses, and it would take more than a day or two to properly arrange all of them.

However, since the appointment approval had already been issued, he couldn't keep the military waiting for too long. Therefore, he was extremely busy for the better part of a month after returning to the main planet.

The night was busy with snow, and Lingluo was not exactly idle either.

The spiritual plants she had planted last year will not be ready for harvest for several years.

To enhance the efficacy of the medicine, she prepared a lot of nutrient solutions to promote the growth of spiritual plants and gave them to Ye Xingxue, asking him to arrange for people to water the spiritual plants according to the rules she had written over the next few years.

By the time she had prepared all the nutrient solution needed to accelerate the growth of the spiritual plants over the next few years, Ye Xingxue had also finished up most of her other tasks.

By then, it was nearing the end of August, and the fourth-year students of the Hero Military Academy had returned from their training on an alien planet.

On the night Ye Xingyu returned from the alien planet, Ye Feng, Ye Xingxue, and Ling Luo held a welcome dinner for him at the palace.

When Ye Xingyu arrived, Ye Feng had something to attend to and hadn't arrived yet, so only Ye Xingxue and Ling Luo were at the dinner table.

Ye Feng had someone prepare dessert for Ling Luo ahead of time.

Night Breeze hadn't arrived yet, but quite a few desserts prepared for Ling Luo had already been served.

As the night breeze arrived, Ye Xingxue was talking to Ling Luo while watching her eat with a smile.

Upon seeing them, Ye Xingyu greeted them: "Brother, sister-in-law."

"Um."

Ye Xingxue and Ling Luo responded, and Ye Xingyu sat down. Ye Xingxue poured him a glass of water: "How are you feeling?"

Ye Xingyu knew he was asking how the training felt.

He said, "It's fine."

Night Snow: "Mm."

Ye Xingyu took a sip of the water Ye Xingxue had poured for him and asked, "Are you sure? We're leaving in a couple of days?"

"Hmm." At this point, Ye Xingxue said, "From now on, the affairs of the palace will be left to you and Father."

"I will also join the army after graduation."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xingxue paused for a moment: "Have you thought it through?"

"Um."

"good."

However, if Ye Feng finds out in the future that the two of them want to go to the military, he will probably be quite angry.

The military has many departments and job categories. In the fourth year, the school will provide intensive training based on the students' chosen subjects.

Ye Xingyu turned on his personal computer and sent Ye Xingxue a video of his combat command during the first semester's final exams, asking him to point out any shortcomings.

After he finished the exam and received the complete exam video, he also did a review of his performance.

Ye Xingxue was experienced in this regard, and while looking at the information of the participants, she chatted with Ye Xingyu.

Ling Luo listened to their conversation, rarely saying a word.

After a while, Ye Feng arrived and overheard their conversation. He sat down, looked at Ye Xingxue and Ye Xingyu, and sighed, "Xiaoyu's final exam results are out? Again, she only showed them to your brother and not me?"

Ye Xingyu paused for a moment, then sent his score to Ye Feng with a blank expression.

After dinner, Ye Zeru and the others invited Ye Xingxue and Ling Luo out for a get-together, as a way of saying goodbye to them in advance.

Ye Zeru couldn't help but say, "Be careful when you get to the military headquarters."

This security risk comes from two sources: first, the Zerg, and second, he is worried that the situation five years ago might repeat itself.

Upon hearing this, Ling Luo said, "Don't worry, I will protect him."

Upon hearing this, Ye Zeru nodded hurriedly: "Of course, with you here, I have complete peace of mind. Sister-in-law, I'm entrusting my brother to you."

Ling Luo: "Mm."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xingxue held Ling Luo's hand and smiled gently.

The next morning, after breakfast, Ye Xingxue went to help Ye Feng with his official duties.

Before even disembarking from the aircraft, they saw Luo Yi standing at the entrance of the council hall.

Luo Yi recognized his aircraft, paused, and after Ye Xingxue disembarked, bowed and said, "Your Highness."

Ye Xingxue nodded: "Mm."

He said calmly, "I'll go in first."

"good."

Upon entering the council hall, Ye Xingxue quickly spotted Elder Luo.

Upon seeing him, Elder Luo greeted him with a smile: "Your Highness the Crown Prince."

As he spoke, he looked towards the doorway but didn't see Luo Yi, so he paused.

Since learning that the remaining poison in Ye Xingxue's body had been completely cleared, Ye Xingxue and Elder Luo had actually met in the past half month, but they didn't have many opportunities to talk.

Old Master Luo had his own thoughts, but he also knew that those past events had left a thorn in Ye Xingxue's heart, and that removing that thorn would take time and could not be rushed.

Therefore, during the past two weeks, although he tried to mend his relationship with Ye Xingxue, he did not take any major actions. After all, Luo Yi was also training on another planet at the time, so no matter how much he arranged, he didn't have much of a focus.

Luo Yi had just returned from training on an alien planet yesterday afternoon, and today he summoned Luo Yi to the palace, which shows how eager he was to do so.

He wanted Ye Xingxue to see his eagerness.

After all, the eagerness he is showing now is also one of the ways he is demonstrating his sincerity.

He believed Ye Xingxue understood what he meant.

Ye Xingxue nodded and said, "My father has something to discuss with me. See you later."

"Wait a minute." Upon hearing this, Elder Luo shamelessly called out to him, and said with a smile, "I heard that His Highness the Crown Prince is leaving the main star tomorrow to go to the military?"

"right."

"Your Highness, please be careful."

"Thank you for your concern, sir."

After saying that, Ye Xingxue didn't give him a chance to speak again and turned to leave.

Old Luo was not displeased.

In fact, he knew that Ling Luo would go with him.

Not many people know about this, but it will eventually be known to the outside world. They didn't actually try to hide it, so it's not surprising that he knows.

Although Ling Luo is skilled in ancient martial arts, she is not a martial arts master. If the outside world finds out that she went to the military headquarters with Ye Xingxue, it will probably cause quite a bit of controversy.

Thinking of this, Elder Luo looked at Ye Xingxue's back and his eyes darkened.
