Seeing that they were talking about food and other topics, Ling Luo didn't say anything more.
The luncheon was short.
Just before the luncheon was about to end, Yu Danqing found a gap and handed her a spatial ring: "There are some documents inside, Your Highness. Please take a look when you get back. If you have any questions, you can contact me anytime."
Ling Luo accepted it: "Okay, thank you."
Yu Danqing smiled and said, "You're too kind, Your Highness."
Yu Danqing gave it to him in front of everyone. Yu Danqing is the principal of Hailuo Military Academy, and Ling Luo is a student of the academy. Everyone thought that there were some study materials in the space ring and did not take it seriously.
Lin Lun and his group were going back to their hotel to rest.
Yu Danqing and Ren Yongfeng personally escorted them to the hotel, while Ye Feng and Ling Luo watched them board the aircraft from the palace gate.
The aircraft disappeared into the distance in a short while.
Ling Luo looked at Ye Feng: "Father—"
Night Breeze: "Are you leaving?"
"Um."
In the late afternoon, as the wind and rain blew and several kings were about to hold a press conference, and other guests were being entertained by Ren Yongfeng and other people from the Training Methods Research Institute, there was nothing for her to do, so she planned to go back to school.
Night Breeze: "You haven't been back for so long, why don't you have dinner with your father tonight before going back?"
Ling Luo nodded: "Okay."
Ye Feng had other things to do, so he smiled and patted her head before having someone escort her back to the Crown Prince's palace.
The mecha manufacturing array is ready. Although it doesn't need to be watched all the time, materials need to be added every few hours.
Back at the Crown Prince's palace, Ling Luo went upstairs to her room. Just as she was about to check on the progress of the mecha manufacturing array, she saw two picture frames on the desk next to her.
One of the photos in the frame is a picture of her and Ye Xingxue.
One of them is a solo photo of her.
Ling Luo frowned.
Where did these photos come from?
She doesn't remember taking these photos.
She paused for a moment, then, unable to recall, didn't dwell on it and went back to her own business.
The mecha manufacturing array has only completed a large framework so far; it will take some time before it is fully formed.
Ling Luo carefully checked every detail to ensure there were no problems before slowly adding the prepared materials.
She felt she had only been busy for a short while when there was a knock on the door, saying that dinner was almost ready and asking her to come over to Yefeng's place for dinner.
As the aircraft passed the royal council hall at low speed after leaving the Crown Prince's palace, Ye Feng, Ren Yongfeng, Yu Danqing, and other officials were coming out of the council hall.
Upon seeing her aircraft, Ye Feng and the others looked up.
Ling Luo had no choice but to turn the aircraft around and land at the entrance of the council hall.
After the officials greeted Ling Luo, they all left when Ye Feng indicated that he wanted to see the guests out.
Before leaving, Yu Danqing reminded her to remember to look at the materials she had given her when she had time.
Ling Luo nodded.
When she and Ye Feng arrived at the dining area, seeing that the food hadn't been served yet, Ling Luo took out the spatial ring that Yu Danqing had given her and retrieved the documents inside.
The final exams are in a few days, and Ling Luo assumed that the study materials in her spatial ring were compiled by Yu Danqing.
Unexpectedly, apart from a authorization letter for the Five Elements Beads production method, the documents inside were all contracts from other empires for purchasing the rights to use the Five Elements Beads and training methods.
Ye Feng hadn't seen these contracts, but he knew exactly how much each empire had spent to purchase the Five Elements Beads and the right to use the training methods.
Seeing these contracts now, he picked them up and glanced at them, paying particular attention to the amounts on them, before putting them down and saying, "Remember to hide these contracts; don't let your son see them."
Ling Luo was signing the authorization letter when she heard this and looked up in confusion: "Why?"
“Such a large sum of money would tempt anyone, I’m afraid he’s after your money.”
Yan Jin, standing to the side: "..."
Is it appropriate for you to say that?
Anyone who didn't know better would think that Ling Luo was your biological daughter and Ye Xingxue was your son-in-law.
The authorization letter for the Five Elements Beads that Yu Danqing requested was the authorization letter for the seventy Five Elements Beads that she had made for Yu Danqing.
Ling Luo felt that only cultivators could make this Five Elements Bead, not martial artists.
But since they wanted to conduct the research, she agreed.
She was writing down the materials for making these Five Elements Beads when she heard this. Without looking up, she said in a casual tone, "I earn my money for him. As long as he likes it, that's fine."
By this time, the kitchen had already brought up the soup.
Ye Feng leisurely tapped the table with his fingertips, watching Ling Luo write down the materials for making the Five Elements Beads, while waiting for Yan Jin to serve him soup.
As soon as Ling Luo finished speaking, Ye Feng's movement of tapping the table immediately stopped, and Yan Jin's arms also froze in mid-air, splashing soup onto the table.
The two of them looked at Ling Luo at the same time.
Ling Luo looked up: "What's wrong?"
Night Breeze took the soup bowl, took a sip, and sighed, "It's nothing. Comparison is the thief of joy."
They're both men, both married, so why is there such a big difference in how they're treated?
Since it was time to eat, Ling Luo stopped writing and put away all the documents.
Night Breeze asked her, "Can you understand the document? Do you need me to have a professional team go through it for you?"
While the amount each empire pays for the Five Elements Beads and training methods is fixed, the amount received by Lingluo's account is the purchase contract amount minus taxes and a portion of service fees.
Yu Danqing gave her the contract so that she could check if the amount was correct and if certain contents of the contract were reasonable enough.
Ling Luo shook her head and said matter-of-factly, "No need, he'll take a look for me when he gets back."
This "he" obviously refers to Ye Xingxue.
Night Breeze paused, then laughed: "Alright, let your prince take a look."
Ling Luo nodded, and when Ye Xingxue was mentioned, she seemed to have thought of something and suddenly frowned.
Ye Feng took the soup bowl from Yan Jin and handed it to her, asking, "What are you thinking about?"
Ling Luo: "You said he would be very sad, is that true?"
Night Breeze paused for a moment, then realized what she was talking about.
At the luncheon, she said that even though her son wasn't there, she wouldn't be bored.
He told her not to tell his son, otherwise his son might be very sad.
She then said that she had already said it, and more than once...
Night Breeze coughed lightly, his face serious and earnest: "Of course it's true."
Ling Luo's brows furrowed even more deeply.
Seeing this, Ye Feng was about to speak when Ling Luo, seemingly having thought of something, suddenly brightened up, her earlier distress gone.
Night Breeze raised an eyebrow and asked, "What's wrong?"
Ling Luo smiled and said, "I've thought of a wonderful gift."
"A gift?" Her words seemed abrupt, but Ye Feng understood: "You're planning to give your prince a gift to apologize to him and cheer him up?"
"Um!"
The night breeze chuckled: "But I've heard that you often send things to your prince?"
The implication is that because she usually gives so many gifts, even the best ones seem commonplace and less sincere in Ye Xingxue's eyes.
Ling Luo shook her head and said confidently, "This gift is different."
This gift is worth more than a thousand gifts.
With such confidence in her, Ye Feng naturally believed that the gift she was going to give Ye Xingxue would definitely be extraordinary.
He nodded and said, "That works too."
He casually asked, "When do you plan to deliver it?"
Ling Luo thought for a moment: "If all goes well, maybe three or four years from now."
Night Breeze: "..."
He abruptly stopped picking up food with his chopsticks, then casually asked, "Oh, three or four years? What if things didn't go smoothly?"
"More than ten years, I think."
Night Breeze: "…………"
He lowered his head to eat, concealing his smile: "It's fine, but..." Ye Xingxue was, after all, his own son, and he couldn't help but remind him: "Won't it take a little longer?"
Ling Luo scoffed: "No way, it's only been a little over ten years. Is that a long time?"
Ordinary cultivators would spend eight to ten years in seclusion, so for them to create such a heavyweight magic weapon, ten years would be considered very fast.
Night Breeze: "………………"
Three seconds later, his expression remained normal yet serious: "That's right, it's indeed not long."
Then, to conclude the topic, he said, "Let's eat."
Ling Luo: "Okay."
Yan Jin: "..."
