Hua Yuezhi was in Hua Lanshi's room, and on the screen in front of them was a live broadcast of Hua Xiange's concert.
When Hua Xiange said those words, Hua Lanshi's eyes widened, as if she had a premonition of something.
As the rain of light scattered across the sky, the two exchanged a glance and both saw the shock in each other's eyes.
After a moment of silence, Hua Yuezhi stood up and said, "Fourth brother, I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now."
"Third Brother," Hua Lanshi called out to him, and stood up as well.
"I suddenly remembered that I have some things to check in the lab, so I'll go back to the lab later."
Hua Yuezhi gave him a deep look and nodded.
The two parted ways, and Hua Yuezhi returned to his room and closed the door.
He raised his hand to answer a call, and Wei Jinyan's voice came from the other end:
"Hey? Yue? Weren't you supposed to be recuperating at home? Why did you contact me?"
"Speak, what's the important matter?"
Hua Yuezhi was silent for a moment before speaking: "I would like to suggest, in the name of the holder of the 'Red Blood Medal,' award the Golden Ear Medal to Hua Changle, a meritorious contributor to the Northern Campaign."
Wei Jinyan fell silent.
Hua Yuezhi is known as the "Red Blood Major General" because he is the only person to be awarded the "Red Blood Medal" with the rank of Major General.
The Red Blood Medal is one of the highest-ranking medals for combat merit. Those who possess it have all made significant contributions to the survival of humanity.
It was because of this medal that Hua Yuezhi held an extraordinary position in the military.
Within the entire Central Plains military, only a handful of active personnel possess the Red Blood Medal, and they wield considerable influence. Moreover, Hua Yuezhi has the behemoth that is the Hua family behind him.
Wei Jinyan said solemnly, "Ah Yue, do you know what the 'Golden Ear Medal' means? Anyone who is awarded this medal will almost certainly be linked to a top position in one of the major regions of the Central Plains in the future."
As someone who possesses red blood, have you considered the consequences of making such a suggestion?
Hua Yuezhi said in a calm tone: "However, it is essentially just a medal representing excellence."
The Golden Spike Medal is of a similar rank to the Red Blood Medal, but its requirements are more stringent.
This is a medal specifically awarded to young people in order to encourage the development of more outstanding talents.
However, with the concentration of cultivation resources among aristocratic families, the Golden Harvest Medal has now evolved into a symbol of candidates from top aristocratic families in various regions.
For example, Gu Yujing and Wei Jinyan are both recipients of the Golden Ear of Rice Medal.
It's not that the Golden Harvest Medal is overrated, but it has indeed become a manifestation of the trend of centralized control of resources.
If Hua Changle, the adopted daughter of the Hua family, were to receive the Golden Ear Medal, it would inevitably cause a huge uproar in aristocratic circles.
Wei Jinyan sighed softly: "A-Yue, you should know that there is a 99% chance that this suggestion will be rejected. Hua Changle cannot possibly obtain the Golden Ear of Gold Medal based on this battle achievement that cannot be made public."
"I know."
Hua Yuezhi said, "I just hope that Lele's name will appear on today's nomination list, that's enough."
"hiss……"
Hearing him say this, Wei Jinyan's tone became more interested:
"Ah Yue, I've already seen the trending topic for the String Song concert. [Rain and Dew] Dissipation of Power..."
Wei Jinyan chuckled lightly: "Why are you all making such a fuss over Hua Changle?"
Hua Yuezhi's eyes flickered slightly, and he said in a very soft tone, "Probably... to atone for his sins."
"What?" He spoke so softly that Wei Jinyan didn't hear him at all.
Hua Yuezhi simply said, "That's all I have to say. I hope Chief Wei will take my proposal seriously."
"Hehe, you stubborn fool!" Wei Jinyan laughed and scolded, "When you ask me for a favor, you don't even know to call me 'cousin'."
Wei Jinyan has agreed to submit the proposal, and the communication was terminated.
Hua Yuezhi sat in the quiet room for a long time, then got up, walked to the cabinet, and pulled open a drawer. Inside were several red velvet boxes.
He opened the outermost one.
In the center of the box, on a yellow velvet cloth, lies a five-pointed red medal with clashed swords.
That was his Red Blood Medal.
Hua Yuezhi lightly touched the medal with his fingertips, but immediately withdrew his fingers as if burned. His eyes, which had always remained calm even in the face of a collapsing mountain, revealed panic and grief.
He looked at the medal with a hint of disgust in his expression.
He sighed deeply, and a nightmarish scene appeared in his mind.
"Father! We can't fight! You know the relationship between Lele and the Dragon Emperor! If we send troops to the Ninth District, Lele... she'll hate us to death!"
"—Hua Yuezhi. You are a member of the Hua family, a soldier of the region. Obey orders, don't you understand?"
"But Father, Lele, she..."
"The Dragon Emperor is doomed, and no one can stop him."
—"...In the battle, the Dragon Emperor Fu Guang perished, and the alien species were suppressed...Hua Yuezhi made outstanding contributions in the battle and is hereby awarded the 'Red Blood Medal'."
"Bang!"
Hua Yuezhi slammed the drawer shut, his eyes closed, unwilling to look at the medal again.
This crimson medal of glory bears the weight of the pain of his beloved.
He dedicated his life to the Hua family and was worthy of everyone, but he owed a great debt to Chang Le that he was unable to repay.
...
District 8, Feng Huo Tang.
Hua Anning had just hung up the call with Wei Jinyan when she received a call from Hua Yuezhi:
"Third Brother?"
Hua Yuezhi's voice was a little hoarse: "Ningning, did you see your second brother's concert?"
Hua Anning looked at a frame that flashed across the audience, frozen in time, and nodded: "I saw it. Third Brother... you contacted me first, did you do something?"
