Fan Yecheng sent Jiang Wuyuan to the military headquarters.
Cang Kong went to report to Xia Fusheng, and Fan Yecheng also had to come to Sheng Wanshi to report.
Although Sheng Wanshi had already learned most of what had happened.
Since Nian Qingfeng's clone's memories could be transmitted to his main body, Nian Qingfeng, who happened to be reviewing official documents next to Sheng Wanshi, simply recounted the information.
As for Jiang Wuyuan, he was originally to be sent to the manor where Nian Qingfeng lived.
However, because Sheng Wanshi requested to see him, Fan Yecheng brought the person along as well.
"...That's how it is." An hour later, Fan Yecheng finally finished reporting all the intelligence.
Sheng Wanshi sat upright, maintaining a serious expression that showed neither joy nor sorrow, and nodded slightly to Fan Yecheng: "Yes, thank you for your hard work."
"Serving the Dragon Kingdom is no hardship!"
Sheng Wanshi was very pleased: "The compensation for the families of the fallen soldiers will be arranged immediately."
"The other soldiers' rewards can be collected directly from the warehouse; I've already spoken to the warehouse manager."
"Yes! Thank you, Marshal Sheng!"
Fan Yecheng gave a straight military salute, then turned and left.
A reward! He's here!
Jiang Wuyuan sat to the side, watching the big, dim-witted guy run out the door. His expression was a mix of speechlessness and amusement.
"Xiao Yuan".
This sound brought Jiang Wuyuan back to his senses. He stood up and bowed to Sheng Wanshi, saying, "Your Majesty Sheng."
"No need for formalities, sit down and let's talk."
Sheng Wanshi picked up his teacup and took a sip: "There are a few things I need to tell you."
Because of some unexpected situations at the federal border, your master has already gone to provide support.
"You can stay at my house for the time being until school starts."
Jiang Wuyuan was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and was about to refuse when Sheng Wanshi raised his hand to interrupt him.
"There's no need to refuse, and there's no need to feel it's troublesome."
Nian Qingfeng's residence has never had guards, including my own.
Beings like us are the best guards ourselves, so there's no need for any further arrangements.
Moreover, if we encounter an enemy that even we can't defeat, then probably no one else can.
So it's not safe for you to live alone in his estate.
This operation gave us insight into some of the Night Owl's capabilities.
We underestimated this organization before; we never expected them to abandon two saints so easily.
Your master and I are both afraid they might take advantage of the situation to harm you, so please don't refuse.
Having said that, Jiang Wuyuan had no choice but to agree: "Yes, thank you, Your Excellency Sheng."
"No need to call me 'Supreme' anymore, just call me Uncle Sheng."
According to seniority, you are Nian Qingfeng's disciple, so you should address me that way.
Jiang Wuyuan, showing great respect, addressed him as "Uncle Sheng".
Sheng Wanshi nodded with a smile.
"In addition, our spies have sent word."
The other country destroyed this time was the ancient kingdom of Fengchang.
Jiang Wuyuan's eyes darkened.
Sheng Wanshi noticed his expression and felt it was a bit cruel to tell him this, but Jiang Wuyuan would have to face these things sooner or later, so it was good to know more about him now.
"Night Owl used the same method as nine years ago, and it was still that same Elder who made the move."
For a small country, this would indeed be an irresistible and catastrophic disaster.
Sheng Wanshi sighed, "However, this strike against Night Owl can be considered half successful."
The person who captured Night Owl last time was poisoned with a Gu poison. Unable to withstand the torture, he revealed information about Night Owl, and the Gu poison broke out, causing him to die a miserable death.
"For the two we captured this time, we'll first use the method of sealing the Gu poison to control it in their bodies, and then we'll interrogate them. I estimate we'll get them to vomit up quite a bit."
Jiang Wuyuan thought this method was quite good.
At least that Grand Elder probably never imagined that the Dragon Kingdom would be able to develop a method to break the Gu poison.
—Although only half of it has been cracked.
"And there's also the matter concerning the Huo family." Sheng Wanshi paused slightly to choose his words, "According to our investigation, the only person who died at the Huo family manor at that time was Huo Qianshan; his steward and servants were all unharmed."
Afterwards, we had them tested to see if they had any Gu poison in their bodies, and the results showed that their bodies were completely normal.
I heard you have a good relationship with that Butler Cen. What are your plans for him?
Upon hearing news from the Huo family again, Jiang Wuyuan's emotions returned to normal.
At least outwardly, it wasn't obvious that she was sad.
But this is simply because he has experienced more and has become more adept at controlling and restraining his emotions.
"Could we bring them to the capital?"
Jiang Wuyuan's current feeling about Shanhai City can be summed up in three words—unsafe.
With a powerful figure like Xia Fusheng stationed in the capital for an extended period, Jiang Wuyuan figured that Night Owl's gang wouldn't dare to act too recklessly in the capital.
"I will pay for their resettlement."
Sheng Wanshi shook his head: "No need. This terrible result is also due to the inadequate supervision by us old guys."
So letting them spend their later years in peace is our way of making amends.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Wuyuan did not say anything more.
"By the way, you brought back quite a bit of Wood Spirit Liquid and a Water Heart from the Hundred Battles Return Secret Realm before, didn't you?" Sheng Wanshi's eyes revealed a hint of appreciation and gratitude. "You really helped the Dragon Kingdom a lot. After our discussion, we've decided not to settle your account with academic credits and military merit points this time."
The final rewards are as follows:
You have a special combat suit with growth potential. It's currently at Tier 6, and the Dragon Kingdom can upgrade it for you for free as your cultivation level increases.
