Chapter 2040: Bodyguards Aren't Cheap

l up results in a significant difference in strength. Even ten late-stage imperial realm cultivators would not be a match for a peak imperial realm expert.And their strongest side only had a few late...When Song Jian finished speaking, everyone present changed their expressions. You have to know that the current emperor is only ten years old, so how could he possibly lead a campaign in person

But such a matter concerns the struggle for imperial power, and others naturally have no right to participate or speak.

Huanziyue's expression darkened. She naturally understood the other party's intentions—this was a second attempt to pressure her.

But it has to be admitted, this one is truly amazing.

If the little emperor agrees to go to Tianlang City, he will probably encounter dangers beyond his expectations.

If you refuse, no matter what reason you give, the people of the world will think this emperor is too weak.

For the Tianfeng Empire, which has always revered martial arts, this is definitely not good news. It will greatly diminish the imperial authority's prestige.

After a moment's hesitation, she immediately made her decision. At this juncture, there was absolutely no room for retreat; otherwise, she would be crushed by the prince who held all the military power and never be able to hold her head high again.

"Ready the troops, I shall lead the charge alongside His Majesty!"

Seeing Hua Ziyue agree to his proposal, Song Jian's mouth once again curved into a cold smile.

"Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, Your wisdom is deeply appreciated. It is a blessing for the people of our Tianfeng Empire."

Then he looked at the crowd below: “Everyone, go back and prepare. Tomorrow morning, my army will march to Tianlang City.”

The tournament ended abruptly like this, and Ye Bufan returned to Lingxiao Academy with everyone.

"Shameless Song Jian, this is just playing the role of a scoundrel!"

Nalan Yujia said angrily, "Xiao Fan, you shouldn't have agreed back then. We already won, why do we have to compete again"

Hu Yaoyao followed up, "Indeed, no matter what, we are on the righteous side, and besides, we have the Empress Dowager backing us."

If we insist on disagreeing, then Song Jian will also be in a difficult position.

"Don't worry, I have my reasons."

Ye Bufan looked at everyone with a slight smile, "Firstly, now that the barbarian tribes have invaded Tianlang City, as members of the Tiānfēng Empire and as members of the human race, it is also our duty to contribute to resisting the alien races."

This was indeed his true thought. Although he didn't belong to the Kunlun Continent, after all, he was of the human race.

And after coming here, he received a lot of help from Su Dingfang and his daughter, as well as made many friends. It's also the time to lend a hand to the human race.

He went on to say: "Furthermore, our Lingxiao Academy has been dormant for so many years. To restore its former glory, winning this newcomer ranking tournament alone is far from enough."

Even if we did...

In the end, Heaven took all the spots in the competition. That only increases our fame and doesn't earn us respect.

If we can help the Tiānfēng Empire defeat the barbarian horde this time, and overwhelm both the royal family and Cāngfēng Academy, it will inevitably enhance the prestige of our Lǐngxiao Academy and lay the foundation for our next step in rebuilding.

"Dean, you always think so deeply!"

At this point, Li Dao ran gave him a deep bow.

Li Qingzhu hesitated for a moment, then followed suit and said, "Thank you, Dean, for everything you've done for Lingxiao Academy!"

She had been resentful when her grandfather passed the position of director to Ye Bufan, but now she was impressed. If it were her, she wouldn't have achieved what he had today.

"It's nothing, I'm the dean. It's my duty to do things for Lingxiao Academy."

Ye Bufan actually has his own ideas. He will eventually return to Earth and it's impossible for him to remain the headmaster of Lingxiao Academy forever.

So, according to his plan, he would first strengthen and expand the Lingxiao Academy, then return it to Li Dao'ran's hands. It would be a way to repay his life-saving grace.

He went on to say, “There's also another point. Now I have become the sworn enemy of An Shun Wangfu. No matter what, Song Jian will not let us go.”

If we completely win this game today, he will definitely try every means to put us in a desperate situation. At that time, we will be completely on the defensive and have no idea what his next move will be.

Now things are different, as long as he goes to Tianlang City, he is bound to meddle on the battlefield. With a clear direction, our defense will be much simpler.

Besides, on this day within the imperial city of Feng Empire, it would be inconvenient for us to directly assassinate a prince. On the battlefield, everything is subject to change, and no one can predict the final outcome.

At this point, a chill flashed in Ye Bufan's eyes. In fact, this was the main reason he hadn't objected to Song Jian canceling the competition results.

He has never been a person who is willing to suffer losses. With An Shun Wangfu making moves one after another, he couldn't possibly stay on the defensive forever. He had to completely eliminate this hidden danger.

Although there are no concrete plans yet, once we're on the battlefield in Tianlang City, opportunities will abound. There will always be a way to get rid of Song Jian.

"Well said!" Nalan Yu Jia said, "That old bastard, I've hated him for ages. When I find the right opportunity, this girl will twist his head off and use it as a ball."

Others also nodded in agreement, realizing that Ye Bufan wasn't choosing to swallow his anger but was making a more long-term plan.

"You humans are so complicated."

Although Xiaqing has now transformed into a human, she is still a monster at heart. She can't understand these things at all.

She curled her lip and looked at Ye Bufan, saying, “Big Brother Ye, I’m hungry. What delicious food did you say”

"Uh... here."

Ye Bufan first took out a square table, then took out a lot of delicacies and placed them on the table.

At first, in order to be able to leave the Wan Shou Mountains with Xiao Qing, he made many promises, including tempting her with delicious food.

Xiao Qing reached out and grabbed a drumstick, unlike the others, she threw it directly into her mouth.

Her eyes lit up instantly: “Brother Ye, your things are so delicious! I’ve never eaten such a tasty chicken leg!”

Next, Xiaoqing entered a whirlwind mode. She started with chicken legs, followed by lamb ribs, and then large chunks of barbecue.

Perhaps feeling a little parched, he casually grabbed a can of beer from beside him.

She didn't even need to open it; with two fingers, she gently squeezed the can and it burst. The liquor flowed into her mouth, and she drank every last drop in one gulp.

Those rosy, plump cherry-like lips seemed bottomless. She ate so fast it was almost unbelievable.

Ye Bufan kept taking out food and placing it on the table, eating non-stop. The two of them ate at almost the same pace.

He couldn't help but be secretly amazed. He originally thought he had found a free bodyguard, but now it seemed anything but cheap.

Not to mention the food, which is beyond ordinary people's capacity. Fortunately, there are enough reserves in his storage ring, or he wouldn't be able to afford it.

Everyone else was dumbfounded. Nalan Yujia and Hu Yaoyao knew her identity, so they weren't that surprised.

Lu Xueman and Jiang Fangzhou and others were completely dumbfounded. They had never seen this way of eating before.

Li Dao'ran asked in surprise, "Dean, who is this young lady"

By the way, what happened last night

Ye Bufan recounted the events, and Li Dao ran listened in astonishment. He was both shocked by the perilous situation at the time and surprised to learn that this seemingly delicate little girl was actually an eight-tiered demon beast in human form.

Then, a wave of joy surged through him. Since there was such a powerful master guarding them, from now on, the Lingxiao Academy would be invincible.

"Alright, you guys eat slowly. I'm taking them to do some special training."

Ye Bufan left enough food, then took Lu Xueman, Hu Yaoyao and others to the back mountain for special training before going to Tianlang City.
