Chapter 42

Yan Xuanjin slept very well that night, holding the sweet and soft Lingyun who he had coaxed into falling asleep until dawn.

The next day, Yan Xuanjin got up very early and got out of bed very carefully, but he still woke Lingyun up.

Ling Yun vaguely felt the stove beside him leave. Squinting his eyes, he saw that Yan Xuanjin had already changed into his military uniform. He groaned and rolled over to the bed, asking, "Where are you going...?"

"I'm going to the palace and won't be at the base this morning." Yan Xuanjin leaned over and gently rubbed Lingyun's face. He didn't want to quarrel with her, so he replied softly, "There's no morning training this morning, so you can sleep in."

After hearing this, Lingyun calmly lay back in his original position and fell into a deep sleep again.

Outside the dormitory door, Cheetah and Elk were waiting early. Only when they saw Yan Xuanjin come out did they turn their attention to Yan Xuanjin.

"Hey? Didn't Snow Cat come to see you off?" Cheetah had an ambiguous expression on his face, and his eyes glanced cleverly at the crack in the door that Yan Xuanjin had not closed tightly.

"Tsk." Yan Xuanjin's face looked grim. After closing the door gently, he pretended to punch Cheetah in the face.

"Hey hey hey, wrong, wrong." The cheetah dodged hurriedly and walked to the front with a playful grin.

The elk followed silently in the middle, looking tired.

The cheetah noticed and complained, "Why go to the palace? Why do we have to get up so early? It's only an hour away by plane."

Yan Xuanjin also felt quite resentful about this, but his second brother always kept his day and nights reversed, so if he didn't go early, he would have to go to sleep.

The three of them boarded the aircraft sent by the royal family to pick them up, and arrived at the second prince's palace exactly one hour before he fell asleep.

…

A tall but weak sentry dressed in gorgeous clothes sat in the main seat in the reception room. He raised his hand and ordered the attendants beside him to serve tea. Then he dismissed all the guards and attendants, leaving only Yan Xuanjin and the two people he brought with him.

Yan Xuanjin was not restrained. As one of the princes of the empire, this place was where he played every day a long time ago.

"How's your plan?" The Second Prince picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip, and asked, "Is there anything else I can help you with?"

Yan Xuanjin replied, "Currently, about 40% of the technology faction has shown a tendency towards integration, and about 30% of the origin-tracing faction."

"It's not enough." The second prince frowned.

"You know that your third brother has been secretly organizing the expansion of the Dark Blade forces." Yan Xuanjin was a little impatient and did not look at his second brother in a good mood.

The Second Prince pondered for a moment and changed the subject. "Recently, the Zerg have become increasingly restless. Their space technology has matured, allowing them to precisely locate and open warp tunnels in space. The Zerg leadership has already begun making plans to invade our galaxy."

He accurately found a pocket among his ornate and complicated clothes, took out a memory card from it, and said, "Everything I got from over there is in here."

"Humanity must unite to face it. It is simply a fantasy to rely solely on the power of the empire to resist the invasion of an entire race, not to mention the empire's origin-tracing faction or technological faction." Yan Xuanjin's face was serious, and his pair of yellow-green eyes were full of seriousness.

The second prince looked into his younger brother's eyes and felt that he was reliable, but he also felt a little sad - when did his youngest brother start to mature?

Probably... that accident.

The Second Prince stood up, leaned over and patted Yan Xuanjin on the shoulder, saying, "You will definitely succeed. Believe in yourself."

Yan Xuanjin also stood up and put away the memory card, understanding that this meant the end of the conversation.

"I'm going to sleep. If you want to hang out here, just tell the guard outside the door."

"I understand." Yan Xuanjin answered perfunctorily.

He did not choose to stay in the palace for long, and returned directly to the Dark Blade Base with the elk and cheetah.
