This statement is quite straightforward.

Even somewhat insinuating.

But Carlos seemed as if he didn’t hear it, and laughed, "Commander Xu, you’re truly a young talent, worthy of being a nemesis of the mysterious clan... By the way, Commander Xu, I have a small request. Could you help me with it?"

"What small request?"

"Could you say two words for me, preferably with disdain..."

Carlos thought for a moment, and said, "I mean, with an extremely disdainful tone, say to me, ’just this’."

Xu Lingjun was suddenly shocked, thinking to himself, does he really suspect me?

Impossible, I was wearing iron blood armor all over, with a mask on my head, and even gloves on my hands... not a bit of skin was exposed.

Such tight protection couldn’t even hide my charm?

No... he should just be suspecting, otherwise, with the terrified look in his eyes when I slayed him, he couldn’t be so calm now.

Xu Lingjun lightly pinched Xiaoya on his shoulder and said, "Although I don’t understand why General Carlos would have such a perverted hobby... but I can..."

As he spoke.

He opened his mouth and said, "Just this?"

The voice was low, with a slightly sharp edge.

No one noticed that as he spoke, Xiaoya, completely buried in his neck, also spoke with perfectly synchronized voice, "Just this?"

Their voices at that moment achieved perfect resonance.

Making Xu Lingjun’s voice faintly indecipherable between male and female, but paired with his stunning face, it was not awkward, rather it added some demonic eeriness.

And as the words fell, everyone couldn’t help but shudder, though it was just two words, the disdain seemed to directly strike their souls, though it wasn’t substantial harm.

After speaking.

Xu Lingjun apologized, "Sorry... that may have been a bit rude."

"No... it’s nothing."

Carlos said.

He couldn’t help but silently laugh at himself for being so paranoid... How could he have had such an absurd idea?

Suspecting that the Commander in Chief of the Great Xia Empire was the leader of the Yanhuang Clan.

How could it be...

You know, our Baoxue Empire paid a huge price, even shared almost our entire technology tree with people, only then obtained this crucial information... and sacrificed countless lives for it.

How would the Great Xia Empire get such important information from the mysterious races of the heavens? 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

They couldn’t have just casually caught a mysterious race of the heavens and extracted the information from them?

Absolutely impossible.

Furthermore, even if they obtained the information, how would they ally with the demon beasts in the Secret Realm?

If others don’t know, they would... the warriors of the Great Xia Empire have always been training against the demon beasts in the Secret Realm.

The slaughter between them is extremely fierce, there is no possibility of unity.

And this Commander Xu, obviously just in his twenties, no matter how strong, could he be stronger than that terrifying black-faced man?

That was a terrifying monster capable of crushing no less than four grandmaster-level experts...

Carlos couldn’t help but ridicule himself for thinking too much, truly once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of a rope, whenever he sees a strong fighter, he instinctively thinks it’s that terrifying monster.

The Great Xia Empire is still fooled by us.

A bunch of fools.

The meeting concluded.

Both sides dispersed and left the fortress.

Anduin had been pleasant throughout, but when he left the sight of Han Xu Yang and Tairuo, his face quickly turned sullen at a visible pace.

Evidently... this matter was greatly unexpected to them.

"Your Majesty, what should we do next?"

"What to do? Do nothing."

Anduin said coldly, "Damn it, these detestable bastards ruined my plans..."

"But we can’t give up on the excavation of the Secret Realm."

"Naturally, with so many sacrifices made before, if we stop now, wouldn’t it all be in vain?"

Carlos said worriedly, "But the enemy is too strong, if we can’t strike from a distance, how do we deal with them..."

"I’m afraid we can only use the foundation of our Baoxue Empire."

Anduin at this moment seemed like a gambler about to lose everything, with red eyes wishing to wager everything.

Even if the opponent set unfavorable rules for him, he still thinks of making a comeback... has to make a comeback...

"Let’s go, discuss further when we return."

Anduin said coldly, "Take those weapons back first, can’t let the Secret Realm people get in touch with these weapons, otherwise, we really won’t be able to explain... damn it, we were framed, and can’t even say a word."

"Yes."

Carlos responded.

Anduin asked, "By the way, why did you ask Commander Xu those questions earlier..."

"Nothing, I just had some misconception, thinking back, it seems laughable too, maybe was a bit overly concerned."

"I see."

Anduin accepted this explanation.

Everyone returned...

At this moment, Han Xu Yang bid farewell to Crown Prince Tairuo.

This meeting not only successfully curbed the ambition of the Baoxue Empire, but also incidentally befriended the Land of Light.
