Su Mu's coming-of-age ceremony has naturally also become a topic of repeated discussion in the streets and alleys.
As the "Yunshang Weekly" following in the footsteps of the Federation, the editor-in-chief Whale Luo naturally published a new special issue again, and once again this is a household-known event, adding to the flames once again*.
And for Su Mu's public announcement at the coming-of-age ceremony... He will bring his princess and fiancee to join the academy mission to the Longtuo Empire for exchanges.
This is undoubtedly a thing that makes people feel excited.
After all, no matter in which world, era, or country, people’s patriotism is always accompanied by mutual comparison and the sense of superiority derived from comparison.
"Have you heard that Su Mu, a rookie from our federation, will now act as the exchange representative of the Magic Academy to communicate with the other two colleges in the mainland."
The residents of Yunshang District who got this information from the newspapers can't wait to share this joy.
"That's not the case. Speaking of facing a talent like Su Mu, the other two colleges may have suffered. After all, even Lei Hao, who was the closest to the Mystery Round Table, was also defeated by Su Mu. The battle at that time is really unsatisfactory when I think of it now."
Another person who had observed the college exchange day immediately added.
"And compared to Su Mu's magic and fighting skills, I am afraid that what really made the little cubs of the Longtuo Empire feel uncomfortable, and it is their Royal Princess who has not been far away to marry the Federation."
"Furthermore, it is said that the instructor who led the trip this time is also Su Mu's pro-teacher... Our own'Princess' of the Federation, Your Excellency XIII Xiluxi of the Academy."
"Even if you count the so-called saints of the Papal State, in fact, of the three top women in the world, two of them belong to our federation. I am afraid that the empire will be green with anger a long time ago."
The last speaker was obviously an extremely narrow-minded nationalist.
However, at this moment, his extremely unpleasant thoughts, which were obviously unpleasant on weekdays, are now silently approved by everyone.
Although everyone did not explain to each other, the pride that this person has now broken is actually in the hearts of every federal resident.
…
However, unlike the joy of the streets and lanes, Su Mu and Su Tong's mood in today's princess mansion is obviously not so bright.
Although traveling with the academy delegation, the safety of Su and Mu had been greatly guaranteed.
But on the other hand, this also proved that Su and Mu did not have the ability to protect themselves.
Relying solely on other people's arrangements is obviously not a long-term solution.
Not to mention... The question that Deng Bizuo asked bluntly that night, in fact, also haunted Su Mu's heart, and it was also a touch of Su Mu's unavoidable suspicion!
Su Mu had never thought of completely surrendering his safety to others.
So the problem that troubles Su Mu now is exactly how to find a self-protection method that is more beneficial to oneself in that completely unfamiliar country.
Fortunately, many times, things are always so accidental.
When Su Mu was having a headache, as Su Tong’s most trusted guardian Qin Dong, at this moment he also hurriedly broke into the room where Su and Mu were.
Then, while hesitating, he slowly said the following sentence:
"My brother Qin Liang has also come to the Federation now, and he claims that he has goodwill from the empire, and now he wants to personally convey this will to the two."
In fact, even if Qin Dong didn't specifically declare Qin Liang's identity, Su Mu and Su Tong certainly did not forget this person.
After all, the thousands of miles deep into the Yunzong Mountains were the result of being persecuted by Qin Liang.
But now it seems that Qin Liang, who had always been tight at the time, actually had no intention of killing him at all. The pure purpose was to force Su Tong to reach the Federation as soon as possible.
Otherwise, when facing the final wave of beasts, Qin Liang would not turn back abruptly to stop the wave of beasts.
Although Su Mu still does not know who Qin Liang is serving, the only certainty is... Qin Liang is definitely not serving the so-called "imperial will" as he himself said!
…
After a while, as Su Mu issued an official invitation, Qin Liang, who had been waiting outside the gate of the princess's residence, also followed Qin Dong to Su Mu's presence.
And after Qin Liang arrived here, he was even more indifferent, and he said straightforwardly:
"This kindness comes from the second prince of the empire, your emperor's brother Su Tan. Although it has been a long time since the assassination before the beginning of winter, some of the will of the second prince He believes that it is still more important to truthfully convey to you."
"First of all, the planner of that assassination was not His Royal Highness the Second Prince. His Royal Highness understands that your Royal Highness Princess has no ambitions, so you will never do anything that will harm the friendship between brothers and sisters. And you will not even have a brother-in-law who has never been masked. Do that kind of disdainful behavior."
"Secondly, just like your worries about the princess, the second prince is also worried that your majesty will not let you go back to the federation. But in this matter, the second prince fully supports the princess's choice for love. So if the princess returns to the empire After that, if there is any help you need to seek, you can also ask your emperor brother."
Qin Liang's expression is still as clear and sharp as before.
Only three paragraphs were not long narratives, and all the thoughts of the second prince Su Tan had been completely exposed to Su Mu and Su Tong.
And it also expresses clearly:
Now, the interests and goals of both of them can be said to be almost identical. Therefore, the two sides will reach a short-term alliance, which is also a matter of course!
When Emperor Long Tuo himself deliberately preempted the second prince and Yang Zimu to speak, he had already done all his gestures.
In fact, from that moment on, Yang Zimu had already guessed the true intentions of Emperor Longtuo.
Therefore, the kindness brought by Qin Liang has only come after so long, and when it comes, it also brings a plan to deal with the will of the emperor.
"In this way, Tong'er and I have also thanked His Royal Highness the second prince for the care. In the future, I will definitely make a special trip to visit one or two in the Empire, in order to thank His Highness for his tolerance and kindness!"
Su Mu's response, even Qin Liang was somewhat admired.
It seems that even Qin Liang didn't expect... Now that Su Mu, a genius of the Federation who has already become famous in the mainland, would be so complacent, and he didn't care about his reputation, but was purely considering his own interests.
And as soon as Su Mu's words fell, Su Tong instantly understood the meaning contained in Su Mu's words.
Now I don’t hesitate, and continue to say:
"Brother emperor’s good intentions, of course, we will not make it in vain. Please tell the emperor brother when you return. If I really find it difficult to return to my fiancé for some reason, I will definitely ask the emperor brother for help. If you really think about it for me, please make sure that the two of us get together anyway, so... can we also ensure that the road for the emperor is unimpeded!
If the purpose of the second prince's threats was actually just to appease Su Mu and Su Tong a little, so that they would not brew unnecessary counterattacks.
At this time, Su Tong turned to throw back the dialogue, but it was already regarded as a clear threat.
Only by ensuring that Su Tong returns to the Federation, the second prince can fully protect Su Tong from being alienated.
The back hand Su Mu needed the most, and at this moment, after all, with this kind of thousands of miles away, it was personally delivered to both of them.
"Allow me... Once again, sincerely thank His Royal Highness the Second Prince!" ()
