Quan Ji said, "Both of you still need my protection. I'm already being lenient by not making you kneel down and call me 'Mom.' Do you expect me to call you 'brother'?"
Upon hearing this, the two men's expressions changed instantly. They were so ashamed that they wanted to slap themselves twice and pretend that they weren't blushing because of shyness.
Kwon Ji was right; she had been protecting them all along.
In that instant, a feeling of loss surged up through my senses and into my blood.
Quan Ji looked at the two of them and said, "You two shouldn't be thinking about these things all day long. When you reach the level of Grand Priest and Grand Martial King, then I can call you brothers. That's fine too."
Upon hearing this, the two princes' eyes lit up again, and they trembled with anticipation.
"Really...really? You'll call us once we reach the Martial King and the High Priest?"
Quan Ji raised an eyebrow and curled her lips into a smile: "Yes, is there a problem?"
The two princes immediately stood at attention, excitedly saying, "No...no problem!"
Doesn't that give us hope?!
Wouldn't that provide the motivation?!
Quan Ji's move is like giving a slap and then a candy – a gentle and persuasive approach!
Having finally greeted the two, Quan Ji spread her legs, her gaze indifferent, and went straight to her business:
"Alright, I've been nagging you for so long, let's get down to business... who will temporarily govern the Qingquan area?"
Upon hearing this question, Quan Qingchi shook his head vigorously.
“Let Fourth Brother do it. I stayed in the Fire Yi Empire for so long last time, it’s time for Fourth Brother to come this time.”
Quan Ji: "..."
"That's true." Her gaze fell on Quan Chengying. "And you, do you have any questions?"
In fact, she had observed that if she were not in the Holy Glory Empire, the most suitable person to take the leadership position would be Quan Chengying.
Compared to others, he has only one problem—he hasn't figured things out yet; he's too patient but not ruthless enough.
We should give him a chance to learn and grow.
Quan Chengying hesitated, "I've never led anything before, I might not do a good job..."
However, he was immediately rebuked by Princess Quan.
"Kwon Seung-young!"
Upon hearing this, Quan Chengying instinctively stood at attention and replied, "Yes, Teacher Quan!"
Then... Quan Chengying was dumbfounded. This... this isn't Azure Academy!
Quan Qingchi, who was standing to the side, burst into laughter.
Quan Ji asked seriously, "You deny yourself before you've even done anything. Did you really think you could run 80,000 meters every morning?"
Quan Chengying was suddenly startled and shook his head: "I...I haven't thought about it."
Quan Ji then asked, "Then how did you manage to do it at Azure Academy?"
Quan Chengying subconsciously swallowed.
Yes... they can even do things like getting up at five o'clock every morning to run 80,000 meters.
In that instant, Quan Chengying seemed to understand something.
Quan Ji crossed her arms and asked, "Do you understand?"
Quan Chengying nodded: "Understood... I will try my best."
Quan Ji nodded: "Then it's decided... Tonight we will lead the main force back to Shengyao. This time, swallowing the Qingquan Empire in one go can be considered as meeting the standard for upgrading to a level four empire."
"As for the rest... I will keep a close eye on your performance... The people of Qingquan are in a sensitive period, and I hope you can handle the relationship with them well."
Quan Chengying nodded. "I can."
Quan Ji hummed in agreement.
Quan Qingchi, standing to the side, couldn't stop smiling.
Quan Ji glanced at him: "Is it funny?"
Quan Qingchi felt awkward and scratched his blond hair: "Isn't it... funny? Why are you so serious in private?"
Quan Ji scoffed mercilessly, "Let me tell you something even funnier."
Quan Qingchi suddenly had a bad feeling:
"No...no, I think I've laughed enough."
Quan Ji: "I don't care what you think, I care what I think."
Quan Qingchi: "...Then...then you tell me."
Quan Ji's eyes curved into a smile, and the corners of her mouth curled up:
"Do you remember how much you cried when we left the Fire Yi Empire? We didn't let you stay here because we were afraid you would cry again."
Quan Qingchi: "...I...can I say I don't remember?"
That's so embarrassing!
This is practically a public execution!
Quan Ji shook her head: "No."
Quan Qingchi huffed, "...I'm all grown up now, I won't cry anymore."
His sister is so mean.
Quan Ji: "Oh... really? Then you can stay here with Quan Chengying for a while."
Quan Qingchi's expression cracked: "Can I refuse?"
Quan Ji: "Refusal is invalid."
Quan Qingchi deeply regretted his sharp tongue!
...
afternoon.
On a bright and sunny day, the Qingquan Empire, having survived a war, finally saw the dawn once again.
The army of the Holy Empire should leave.
Quan Ji and Jun Chenlan sat on the same horse, with tens of thousands of people behind them.
Before leaving, Quan Ji continued to instruct Quan Chengying on how to treat the people of the Qingquan Empire.
She said, "This can be considered a test for you. When I return to Qingquan District in a while, I hope you will have a different experience... When that time comes, I will personally pick you up and take you back to Shengyao."
Quan Chengying didn't cry or make a fuss, but calmly and seriously nodded: "I will try my best... Have a safe journey, and may the gods be with you."
Quan Ji patted her chest with her right palm:
