Alliance conferences are usually convened when the position of alliance leader changes or when there are particularly significant events. This conference is specifically for discussing the change of alliance leader.

All the officials, elders, and representatives of various families of the Iron Union Alliance participated in the conference. Xiong Ge, Grandpa, and Ye Siren were sitting not far behind Xia Xiang.

It was beyond doubt that Jiuwu would succeed as the leader of the alliance. His leadership and decision-making abilities during the previous operation to suppress the Yehenara family were also very convincing.

Next, the new leader of the alliance will reward everyone who has contributed to this battle. The Xia Lanxingde family once again comes into the public eye, showing that they still enjoy the trust of the leader of the alliance.

Ye Siren represents the Yehenara family, because the remaining members of the Yehenara family have completely joined the Iron Union Alliance.

After the conference ended, Xia Xiang had other matters to attend to and did not return with them, but instead went to the alliance leader's office.

"Hey, who's this?" A somewhat sarcastic, immature male voice chased after Xia Xiang from behind.

Xia Xiang's good mood vanished completely.

"Who are you?" Xia Xiang stopped and turned around to look at her.

"We just met a month ago, Xia Xiang. How come you don't recognize your childhood friend now that you've become a commander?" The young boy said with sharp eyes and a provocative expression.

"I've met plenty of people, who do you think you are?" Xia Xiang looked him straight in the eye and recognized him as Elder Gu's beloved youngest son, but so what? She wasn't friends with him at all, and there was nothing to say to him.

After saying that, he turned and left, but unexpectedly, the young boy used a lightning spell on him from behind.

Before the lightning strike could even get close to Xia Xiang, it was dispersed by Xia Xiang's wave of her hand.

"Young man, I'm magnanimous and won't hold it against you, but if you make another move, I'll have to too." Xia Xiang's expression darkened.

"Ha, I want to argue with you." The man was clearly not going to listen to reason, and said angrily as he prepared to attack again.

"You're such a love-struck fool. You like an older man who's so much older than you, you even scheme against your own grandfather, and you're obsessed with him, you'd bang your head against a wall for him. Are you sick in the head?"

Xia Xiang was speechless. She didn't expect the rumor to still be around, and it was getting weirder and weirder.

"You seem to be on the reserve team roster, right?" Xia Xiang asked after giving him a seat.

"What's it to you?" the boy said, his face contorted as he struggled desperately.

"You want to join the Imperial Guard so badly because of me, right?" Xia Xiang covered her mouth in surprise, then said with a smile.

"You're such a love-struck fool, liking someone so much stronger than yourself. I'm someone you could never catch up to in this lifetime. Why are you so infatuated with me? Are you sick? Stop doing these things to get my attention. I'm not buying it."

"I'm doing this because of your grandpa! Xia Xiang, what nonsense are you spouting!" The young boy roared, his face flushed with shame and indignation.

"Disrespecting the commander will result in your credits being deducted. Bye-bye!"

Xia Xiang raised an eyebrow and said, then turned and left without any intention of undoing the condensation spell for him.

He took two steps and then went back.

"Also, don't let me find out that your Gu family was behind this. You know I can be ruthless!"

Xia Xiang finished speaking, snorted, and strode away.

"Rex is going back to the Gold Dimension. My mom is seeing him off today. Are you free to go?" Xia Xiang asked Jiu Wu, who was busy all the time.

"I have time, and these things aren't urgent," Jiu Wu replied, stopping what he was doing.

"Hey, it's urgent, these all need to be read and signed." Jiu Lai said, holding a stack of documents. "And Xiong Ge's cooking is so awful, bro, don't end up in the hospital right after you take office."

Xia Xiang: "Jiu Lai, you've really made something of yourself, haven't you? Well, as a reward, you can read all of this. We're leaving now."

"Hey, don't be like that," Jiu Lai said. "You've come at the perfect time. Hurry up and help me out. I've been so busy lately that my hair has turned white."

Xia Xiang turned to look at Jiu Wu, and seeing that he was also looking at her, her heart softened.

Then the three of them buried themselves in their work, spending the entire afternoon in the office until their heads were spinning.

"Jiu Wu, I'll feel sorry for you next time, I'm a little dog," Xia Xiang said, rubbing her eyes.

“I’ve finished all my work for the next few days, so I can spend several days with you. Aren’t you happy?” Jiu Wu smiled and massaged her shoulders.

Xia Xiang, "I'll be very busy for the next few days. Will you come with me while I work?"

“That works too,” Jiu Wu nodded. “As long as I’m with you, I’ll be happy doing anything.”

"No need, thank you." Xia Xiang was speechless, indicating that she didn't want to talk to him.

Jiu Lai: "You two, you really don't care whether I live or die, do you?!"

Xia Xiang and Jiu Wu exchanged a glance, then ignored him.

When Xia Xiang and Jiu Wu returned to the Xia family home, the dishes had just been served. Seeing the table full of takeout, Xia Xiang felt relieved. However, Xia Mei seemed a little unhappy, constantly saying she wanted to eat Xiong Ge's home-cooked meals.

"You stinky Xia Mei, that's enough!" Xia Yu couldn't stand it anymore. "Rex saved Xiao Ying, why are you repaying kindness with enmity?"

"Heh, you snob, your clone is just as annoying as you," Xia Mei said bluntly.

God knows what kind of life she's been living these past few days. It's bad enough that one snob bullies her, but this person who's just as snoby is bullying her too. It's too much.

"Xiao Ying, you're back." Xia Mei, Xia Yu, and Rex were arguing seriously in the restaurant. Xia Xiang and Jiu Wu sat on the sofa for a while before being noticed. "Hey, and who's this? The new leader of the alliance."
