"General Su is young and promising. With you protecting the empire, I am very relieved."

Mu Jingfeng sat on the leather sofa, with two bodyguards behind him, looking at Su Qiluo.

Su Qiluo smiled at the official words, but a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes, and she was very impatient.

As soon as Mu Qingyun heard that Mu Jingfeng was coming, she immediately went back into the house to hide, saying not to mention that she was here.

Although Mu Qingyun didn't say it, he understood almost instantly, connecting it to what happened in the wilderness.

He said that the emperor of the empire was undoubtedly the best candidate to use tricks and sabotage others in the military academy.

"I've come here today because I have a favor to ask of General Su," Mu Jingfeng said calmly, his imposing demeanor making it seem as if he were the one asking for a favor, not the other way around.

Su Qiluo didn't reply, but just looked up at him, waiting for him to say what he wanted to say next.

“My daughter, she is a water-type ability user just like you. The first stage will be over in about a month. I watched the live stream, and Yao’er should be fine.”

Mu Jingfeng raised his chin and said, "I hope you can choose Yao'er as your mentor. She has potential."

Just as I expected.

Su Qiluo guessed the purpose of his trip and had already prepared her response.

"I'm sorry, I've already chosen someone to mentor," he replied calmly, making his position clear.

But Mu Jingfeng didn't believe that anyone's will was unshakeable, unless the benefits hadn't been given enough.

“I know you don’t lack anything, but military academies always lack something. Yao’er admires you the most. She’s willing to suffer in the wilderness to join the trial, just to become a strongman under your command.” Mu Jingfeng raised his hand, and the person next to him quickly brought him a cup of tea.

These words, spoken with the same air of the protagonist, might have been seen by others as a compromise due to concerns for the empire, but Su Qiluo was no ordinary person.

"I'm sorry." Su Qiluo said those four simple words without uttering another.

He leaned back and comfortably settled into the sofa backrest.

Just kidding. Mu Xueyao has no character, no ability, and has offended Mu Qingyun. Even if he had only one of these three flaws, he would never choose her as someone to mentor.

Not to mention, all three of these things happened to one person at the same time.

Faced with such an ungrateful person, Mu Jingfeng subconsciously frowned. "General Su, you can consider it. Consider it a favor I owe you."

No matter what Mu Jingfeng said, Su Qiluo refused to say another word. Those four words had already shown his attitude. No matter how eloquently Mu Jingfeng spoke, he remained unmoved.

After talking for a while, Mu Jingfeng got tired of talking, and Su Qiluo got tired of listening.

"I have another task to complete in a moment. Is there anything else, Your Majesty?" Su Qiluo deliberately raised his hand to look at his watch, pretending to be in a hurry.

The meaning of "expel them" is quite clear.

Mu Jingfeng's face turned ashen; this was the first time he had ever been asked to leave.

“Since General Su has other matters to attend to, I won’t linger any longer. However,” Mu Jingfeng stood up, his gaze suddenly turning cold, “you should think it over carefully. After all, refusing me won’t do you any good.”

"Take care, I won't see you off." Su Qiluo didn't even stand up, remaining seated on the sofa, the smile on her lips seeming somewhat sarcastic.

Hearing this, Mu Jingfeng became even angrier.

I had only heard of the First Commander's reputation before, but I never expected him to be so ungrateful.

Ha, no matter how capable a person is, if they lack tact and flexibility, they will eventually fail.

Mu Jingfeng glanced coldly at Su Qiluo, who was sitting on the sofa, then turned and left with his two bodyguards.

Once everyone had completely left, Su Qiluo looked up at the building, and her eyes met those of Mu Qingyun.

Mu Qingyun leaned leisurely against the railing, smiled after meeting his gaze.

She heard everything that was said, and she was still very grateful.

Mu Jingfeng is the emperor of the empire. Although the military academy is not under his control and exists independently, his power is still considerable.

Su Qiluo was not affected by him at all, either because she was not afraid of the powerful and influential, or because it was for her sake.

Regardless of the type, she had a very good impression of Su Qiluo. She admired the first quality and liked the second one.

It's a pity. If he didn't have someone he liked, I definitely would have made a move.

In his past life, he disguised himself as a woman, walking on the edge of a knife at every step. He married several noble ladies from the capital, but only for power and status. He never tasted the sweetness of love in his entire life.

It was a rare opportunity for her to get close to the man who matched her ideal, but unfortunately, he was already taken.

She is a very clear-headed person and would never be a bad woman who destroys other people's relationships.

So even if she was a little tempted, she immediately forced herself to pull her heart back.

"Let's go, I'll take you to visit the military academy."

"Okay." She nodded, casually tossed her hair, and followed Su Qiluo on their sightseeing tour.

The military academy was large, and Su Qiluo led her around for an afternoon and an evening, until nearly 10 p.m., and they had only covered less than one-twentieth of the academy's distance.

"tired."

Having walked to the point of exhaustion for the first time, Mu Qingyun's legs were already sore. She found a stool, sat down, and rubbed her inner thighs.

"Let's take a break." Su Qiluo glanced at the mobility scooter parked by the roadside, thought for a moment, and then walked over and sat down next to Mu Qingyun.

Such opportunities to spend time alone at night are rare, so it's fine to chat for a while before he drives people back.

"The night is beautiful tonight. I've heard that there's a fairy named Chang'e on the moon, and that she meets Hou Yi on the moon every time the moon is full."

Su Qiluo looked up at the round moon and remembered a legend: "It is said that couples who hold hands and kiss on the night of the full moon will be together forever, in perfect harmony."

"..."

Where did you hear this story? Staying together for life? These are just the kind of spiritual sustenance that girls give themselves. Why does Su Qiluo like this kind of thing too?

“Chang’e ate the elixir of immortality, which is why she was forced to be separated from Hou Yi by heaven and earth. It was impossible for a human and an immortal to be together.” Mu Qingyun continued to rub her legs, while mercilessly shattering Su Qiluo’s beautiful imagination. “Hou Yi will grow old one day, but Chang’e will live forever. How can they be together for a lifetime?”

Su Qiluo: ...

He doesn't seem to like this kind of thing. Oh, right, he's a man, not a woman.

Having figured this out, Su Qiluo smiled and immediately changed the subject, "Do you have someone you like?"

"...No." Mu Qingyun was silent for a few seconds before denying it.

Not getting the answer he wanted, a fleeting disappointment crossed Su Qiluo's eyes, but a moment later, he suddenly realized something.

This answer was the best for him, since he hadn't had much contact with Mu Qingyun, and if she had someone she liked, it certainly wouldn't be him.
