Chapter 453 If you don't come, kill you on the spot.
Si Yuting raised his hand, and Cheng Feng and the others lowered their guard again, watching the people from the Cangling Empire leave.
"Then, Your Highness, we shall take our leave as well." Seeing this, Rong Yueqing also stood up to take her leave.
Si Yuting nodded, then turned and ordered, "Su Hua, see Her Highness the Princess off."
After everyone left, Chengfeng asked, puzzled, "What does the King of Cangling mean? Will they agree to go to the Cangling Empire?"
Other officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs present were also not very clear about the situation.
“Similar to the situation in the Casa Empire.” Si Yuting put away the smart device and walked outside.
Foreign Ministry officials who sit at the negotiating table to receive foreign emperors are not fools. One of them slapped his forehead and exclaimed, "That's right! I almost forgot about the situation in the Cangling Empire!"
When the national situation was mentioned, Cheng Feng immediately understood.
The Cangling Empire is not a fully imperial state in the strictest sense; it is composed of several major commercial sectors that check and balance each other.
Although Emperor Changxin was the ruler of the country, it would be more accurate to say that he was his representative.
He has the right, but certain fundamental decisions cannot be made by him alone.
Si Yuting hadn't walked far when Hu Qing led his men toward him, saluting, "General, apart from Elder Ouyang who was sent to the military hospital, the rest of them have all been taken to the military headquarters. Some of the senior executives and elders at the gene bank are resisting fiercely, demanding an explanation from you."
"Okay, I understand." Si Yuting nodded coldly, then turned to Cheng Feng and instructed, "Send a notice to the Elders' Council, the Gene Bank, and everyone else to come to the military headquarters first thing tomorrow morning."
“Those who do not come will be killed on the spot if they are thugs or terrorists who endanger society and shake the foundation of the country.”
Cheng Feng shivered involuntarily: "Yes!"
After hearing the response, Si Yuting looked at Hu Qing and asked, "What has Rong Chengjue been busy with lately?"
"His Majesty Casa is assembling a professional cloning research team and has ordered many powerful figures from various fields to go to the Imperial Star to tackle the challenge of extending the lifespan of clones." Hu Qing opened his personal terminal and reported the information gathered by their fourth team in detail.
"Not long ago, His Majesty Kasa abolished several systems related to clones, including prohibiting clones from going to certain places and requiring clones to have codes engraved on the back of their necks. His methods of governance are quite brutal. He has already executed nearly 5,000 people and exiled or imprisoned about 50,000 others."
Upon hearing this, Si Yuting's expression did not change.
More than half of Rong Chengjue's shadow guards are clones.
Many of the forces that he uses also have a number of clones, or they are neutral.
Cloned humans have had their superior genes extracted, resulting in generally higher abilities, except for lifespan.
Cloning technology is entirely in the hands of non-clones, and the system also favors non-clones.
Therefore, after Rong Chengjue ascended the throne, a bloody storm was inevitable, which was expected.
Si Yuting gave a few more instructions, contacted Jiang Zhou, and boarded the hovercar to return to Yuelan Bay.
Back at Yue Lan Bay, Jiang Zhou hadn't arrived yet, but Old Man Yuan was directing his servants to help him pack his things.
Si Yuting paused for a moment, then walked over. "Elder Yuan, are you moving out?"
Yuan Lao was giving his orders with great enthusiasm and didn't notice Si Yuting at first.
Now that she's discovered it, she just glances at him indifferently and says sarcastically, "My precious disciple has been driven away by anger. What am I, a lone wolf, supposed to do here? What if one day someone takes a fancy to my potion-making talent and tries to drag this old bone into a lab to draw blood and dissect it?"
Si Yuting choked, and could only reply dryly, "No, that won't happen."
"Who knows?" Old Yuan snorted, then nimbly jumped down from the wooden fence.
Old Yuan's face was covered with wrinkles, and his eyes, like those of all elderly people, were cloudy, yet at this moment they possessed a worldly wisdom that seemed to see through all the ways of the world.
Looking at Si Yuting, he said, "General, I can tell you without any modesty that marrying my disciple is the most glorious chapter in your life."
“My disciple has contributed no less to this country than you have, and the value she has achieved is something that many predecessors could not achieve even after a lifetime of effort.”
Si Yuting's lips trembled slightly, and his deep voice was choked with emotion, "Yes."
Mr. Yuan was right.
After fighting for thousands of years, the Zerg made peace because of her.
Despite cultivating energy plants for so many years, she still couldn't cultivate energy fruits with 100% purification value, but she could.
No one can comprehensively and effectively increase fertility rates.
No one else could concoct so many mental energy stabilizing drugs without any side effects and save so many lives.
Because of this marriage, his family and his army also benefited greatly.
He understood these things better than anyone else.
So when his own family members attacked her and he failed to defend himself, he hated himself more than anyone else.
Old Yuan crossed his arms and continued to stab at her heart: "If I'm not mistaken, my disciple married you initially because she valued your zero fertility score. But she never expected that her fertility score would eventually be exposed. So what use is she to you?"
"Is it so that when you are being plotted against and targeted, and should be killing your enemies with your own hands, you have to look left and right, and consider your intricate blood ties and royal dignity?"
After saying that, Old Yuan burst into laughter without any restraint, as if he were telling a joke.
It really is a joke.
However, Old Yuan was unaware that Qu Tong's fertility was exposed because of saving Si Yuting; he only thought it was exposed because Qu Tong was pregnant.
Si Yuting was speechless, his face even paler than before.
Old Yuan ignored Si Yuting. The servants had packed all the luggage he had mentioned into his spatial storage. He went over to retrieve the storage device and checked to see if anything had been left behind.
When she returned, she saw Si Yuting still standing there, head down, lost in thought, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Hmph." Old Yuan snorted coldly at him and strode away with an air of nonchalance.
He took two steps and then came back, speaking with utter disdain: "The medicine will be supplied to the military as usual next month, along with the amount owed this month. This is the compensation my disciple told me about when we wiped out the Lan family."
"Only my silly apprentice is kind-hearted; she could have given nothing at all."
Upon hearing this, Si Yuting raised his head, a glimmer of light appearing in his dark, slightly reddish eyes. "Did Ali just tell you that?"
Old Yuan rolled his eyes, not about to let him have his way. Ignoring Si Yuting's question, he said, half warning and half reminder, "I'm getting old. In a few years, I might be like the old man from the Lan family, unable to concoct any special-grade medicines."
“Until a new master of potion emerges, you SSS-level players can only rely on my disciple. If my disciple is gone, there will be a gap in the potion industry. You should think about it carefully.”
Although he felt he could live for another ten years or so, and didn't know if a talented alchemy master would appear in the next few years, it didn't stop him from using this to scare people, to let them know that having his precious disciple was a stroke of good luck for them.
After saying this, Old Yuan said goodbye and left Yuelan Bay and even the Capital Star without looking back.
