Chapter 2867: Chapter 2868: Qiong Yao Emerges from Seclusion

Finally, Qin Se could no longer hold back.

"I humbly request instruction from the Royal Teacher!"

She slowly bowed to Ye Luo, her body slightly bent down.

Ye Luo withdrew his gaze at this sight.

If it were before, he naturally wouldn’t pay attention, but now things were different. Regardless of her identity, since she had a relation with Ye Luo, she was his woman!

There’s nothing to say when it comes to his own woman!

"There’s no need for instruction, such a grand gesture is unnecessary!"

Ye Luo hurriedly used both hands to help her up, but when his hand touched Qin Se’s arm, he unexpectedly gave her a slight pinch!

Qin Se only felt her entire body go weak, stumbled, and fell into Ye Luo’s arms.

Immediately, she reacted, then stood up, raised her head, and glared angrily at Ye Luo, but her face was flushed with embarrassment.

"Royal Teacher, what is the meaning of this, do you intend to dishonor Qin Se!" she immediately said angrily.

This was Ye Luo, if it had been someone else, Qin Se would have already taken action.

"I don’t understand these words, it was just an accident just now, where is the dishonor in that? Moreover, our relationship is not ordinary, saying such things seems a bit much!" Ye Luo said with a smile.

"Royal Teacher, I hope you respect Qin Se, there’s nothing extraordinary about our relationship, the past is just that, like a dream!" Qin Se’s tone turned a bit cold.

"A dream? King of Huainan wanted me to be the teacher for you and the Prince. Although I didn’t teach you much, I considered myself dedicated. I didn’t expect you to forget it all and consider it a dream, that truly pains your teacher, and even the master-student bond you want to forget like a dream?" Ye Luo said painfully.

Qin Se’s eyes widened, Ye Luo’s thinking leapt too much for her to adapt in an instant, she had thought Ye Luo would use that day’s incident to threaten her.

"This, Royal Teacher, I wasn’t referring to that matter, you misunderstood me!" Qin Se said hesitantly.

In fact, she actually respected Ye Luo quite a lot, especially during the days discussing politics with him, she truly benefited a lot.

Apart from other matters, she genuinely regarded Ye Luo as a teacher.

"Oh, then what you were referring to was that drunken night?" Ye Luo looked at her again with that strange gaze.

Suddenly, Qin Se panicked again.

"Royal Teacher, perhaps I should seek your advice another day!"

After speaking, she turned to leave, but was grabbed by Ye Luo.

"Royal Teacher, why are you doing this?" Qin Se frowned as Ye Luo grabbed her hand.

"This campaign against the Assassin Alliance is not ordinary, you shouldn’t get involved. If you heed my advice, your 50,000 elite soldiers should follow behind Nameless’s army!" Ye Luo suddenly said.

Qin Se, however, shook her head, "Teacher, you know my intentions. In this campaign against the Assassin Alliance, I must make the world look at me, Qin Se, with new eyes! And Royal Teacher, I hope this is the last time you are rude to me!"

Finishing her words, she broke free and walked angrily towards the hall doors.

"You’re my woman, I naturally have the right to touch you, likewise, no matter the outcome this time, whoever wants to hurt my woman will have to step over my dead body first!"

Just as she was about to exit the hall, Ye Luo suddenly said.

Upon hearing this, her body trembled slightly, paused for a moment, but ultimately did not turn back and walked straight out. However, she did not say anything opposing.

The next morning, as soon as daybreak arrived, Emperor Mountain was packed with people, many nobles stood at the base of the mountain, watching but not daring to enter.

Today is the day to muster the 150,000 elite troops.

Of course, even though Emperor Mountain is large, it’s unrealistic for all 150,000 to enter the mountain.

Not to mention, such a large number of troops would unsettle the nobility within the city, so this muster only selected 30,000 troops, with the remainder stationed outside the city.

Naturally, the 30,000 troops were divided equally, with each of the three factions contributing 10,000.

The leaders within the army had already gathered at the center of Emperor Mountain, and this time, King of Huainan personally participated in the mustering ceremony, an unusual occurrence for such events.

Ye Luo and Nameless stood beneath the platform, and of course, the Shadow Guard was absent.

The Great General of Pingxi naturally needed no introduction, several deputy generals followed behind him, along with an incredibly mysterious High Priest, rumored to be one of the King of Huainan’s right-hand men and a fearsome warrior feared by the Demon Race.

And the mysterious High Priest had considerable fame within the Royal City.

Moreover, the 50,000 elite soldiers could be considered the personal guards of the Great General of Pingxi, an army crafted by him with combat strength far exceeding other troops.

On Qin Se’s side, several generals followed her, some were renowned generals within the Royal City.

But the High Priest surprised Ye Luo, she was veiled and appeared to be a woman, whom Ye Luo had never heard of; clearly, Qin Se was well-prepared.

In contrast, Nameless’s side seemed a bit shabby.

Besides the two of them, there were almost no deputy generals, and in fact, both of them were outsiders, in such a short time, where would they find a deputy general?

Moreover, deputy generals were crucial. If they weren’t trusted, it would be better not to have any to avoid being a burden.

Therefore, Ye Luo decided that the 50,000 troops would be commanded by the two of them, or rather, all under Ye Luo, since Nameless showed no interest, to which Ye Luo felt helpless.

Then, the mustering ceremony began, still presided over by the same High Priest from the feast. However, it was merely a symbolic ceremony and ended quickly, during which King of Huainan simply watched without doing anything special or saying anything, leading to suspicion that he might be an incarnation of King of Huainan.

Of course, Ye Luo didn’t care much about this. As soon as the ceremony ended, he led the 10,000 men to the outside of the city.

There were the remaining 40,000 waiting, which Ye Luo naturally didn’t mind, he had led even larger forces before. However, these 50,000 were all cultivators, exuding an extraordinary aura.

Yet, upon entering the camp, Ye Luo immediately broke into a delighted smile.

Because he saw a woman standing at the entrance of the camp, seemingly waiting for his arrival.

It was Qiong Yao, who had been in seclusion!
