Hearing this, Xiao Jue couldn't help but snort, complaining with a hint of dissatisfaction, "Look at me now, covered in injuries, how can I have the energy to worry about these things? Why don't you help me with the military affairs? It's not a difficult task for you anyway. Besides, the sooner we get this sorted out, the sooner we can return to the capital. Don't you miss your son and your lovely little princess at home?"
It has to be said that Xiao Jue's last words really touched the hearts of Mo Beichen and Yun Qingluo, who were standing next to him.
Before Mo Beichen could respond, Yun Qingluo looked at him expectantly. Sensing his wife's gaze, Mo Beichen was slightly taken aback, then revealed a helpless yet doting smile.
After a moment's thought, he finally spoke: "First, register the surrendered soldiers, then send people to bring their families over, register them in the household register, and formally bring them under the jurisdiction of Xumi. Since they have chosen to surrender, they must act like they have surrendered."
Upon hearing Mo Beichen's arrangement, Xiao Jue couldn't help but show a look of surprise.
He never imagined that those surrendered soldiers could be dealt with in this way, and he secretly admired Mo Beichen for his thorough and comprehensive thinking.
Yun Qingluo understood Mo Beichen's thoughts and explained, "With the help of the Xuan Cang Continent, the Void Continent and the Ghost Continent have probably been destroyed and no longer exist. Regardless of whether these surrendered people go back or not, they are already homeless. It is better to develop and survive here and strengthen the power of the Sumeru Kingdom."
“Luo Luo understands me best.” Mo Beichen added quietly, stunning Xiao Jue, Yun Ju, and the others.
No, brother, you weren't like this before.
Xiao Jue and Yun Ju exchanged a glance: There's definitely something wrong.
Yun Qingluo glanced at Mo Beichen with feigned composure, then picked up her teacup and took a big gulp.
"They killed so many soldiers of Sumeru, how can we just let them go back like this? Naturally, we should let them stay on our Sumeru Continent and contribute to its prosperity," Yun Qingluo added calmly.
These words pulled Xiao Jue back from his gossip-loving mindset and brought his attention back to the important matter at hand.
"This approach works too. Let's leave it in the Land of Sunset. There's no guarantee that there aren't ambitious people there seeking revenge, so we still need to be on guard," Xiao Jue decided directly.
Mo Beichen said in a deep voice, "It's up to you to decide."
When Xiao Jue brought up the matter of dealing with the Netherworld Continent, Mo Beichen simply said to leave it to him, and then, citing exhaustion from the journey, pulled Yun Qingluo to rest.
Xiao Jue was furious. "Look at him, he doesn't act like a ruler of a country at all. He doesn't even care about important matters."
Yunju quietly added, "This seems to be something you should have decided in the first place. When the Emperor left, he gave you the power to act first and report later."
Xiao Jue looked at Yun Ju, "Your Valley Master is back, and you have someone backing you up. Yun Ju, you're standing tall now, and you're even starting to tease this general, huh?"
Yun Ju took two steps back, bowed her head and said, "Yun Ju wouldn't dare, General Xiao has misunderstood."
Xiao Jue took a deep breath and decided to let it go and not get angry.
This commotion completely dispelled the previous somber atmosphere.
"I didn't expect the Xuancang Continent to be so powerful. They took care of two continents with a single move. Luckily, we didn't become their enemy," Xiao Jue said calmly.
Murong Zirui spoke up, "With the Xuancang Continent swallowing the Void Continent and the Ghost Continent, its status as the number one continent will never be surpassed. I just wonder if the other continents will have any thoughts on this move."
Xiao Jue glanced casually out the window and saw the brilliant sunlight pouring down, illuminating the whole world with brightness and warmth.
After a long storm, this rare clear weather felt like a precious gift from heaven.
He slowly stood up and walked heavily toward the door, muttering, "Why worry about so much? Let's deal with these troublesome things first. Ugh, I'm exhausted. I need to get some sleep, or I might never be able to open my eyes again."
As he spoke, he had already walked out of the room.
Yunju gazed quietly at his weary and even somewhat weak back, and a feeling of concern welled up in her heart.
She instinctively opened her mouth, wanting to call out to Xiao Jue and tell him to rest well, but the words were swallowed back down her throat.
Perhaps they felt that no amount of words could express their inner worries at this moment.
Just then, Yun Ju suddenly felt a gaze fall upon her. She turned around abruptly and found Murong Zirui staring at her with a mocking expression. Instantly, Yun Ju's cheeks flushed red as if they had been roasted. She glared fiercely at Murong Zirui, then turned around and quickly left without looking back.
Seeing this, Murong Zirui couldn't help but purse his lips and mutter to himself, "Hey, I haven't even had a chance to say anything yet, why are you being so fierce? Everyone says that the disciples of the Divine Doctor Valley are not to be trifled with, and it seems that it is indeed true. They all have very bad tempers, and they also have powerful forces backing them up. They are really not to be trifled with."
After saying that, he shook his head helplessly.
"Let's go, everyone go and rest. Sigh, I have to go check on the wounded. I'm just born to be a busybody." Murong Zirui muttered to himself as he slowly walked out of the tent.
Just then, a figure hurriedly walked over. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Eunuch Wu.
