In all seriousness: "Now that Blue Star is in a precarious situation, even if I'm seriously injured, could I possibly be more important than the entire existence of Blue Star? Make the arrangements, and I'll go with you, His Highness Tairuo."

"Thank you."

Tairuo hastily agreed, with a hint of joy in his voice, saying, "I will immediately arrange for my subordinates to rush back and take care of everything. We will absolutely ensure that the Commander in Chief is satisfied!"

"Thank you for your trouble."

Tairuo sensibly took his leave.

No sooner had he left than Han Yun City couldn't even ask a question before Xu Lingjun couldn't help but stretch, his joints cracking loudly, and sighed deeply, "That was stifling me to death."

Han Yun City: "..............."

He said speechlessly, "I'm not surprised at all, really. I'm just a bit curious about how exactly you managed to fool all these people."

Xu Lingjun explained, "I tricked them into thinking I was invaded by nuclear energy. In fact, this isn't false... My original intention was merely to use the opportunity to promote the subjugation of the Land of Light. Unexpectedly, it led to an even greater harvest by serendipity."

He continued, "After all, I've already planned to move against the Desperate Great Wall, driving these mysterious races of the heavens out of the Blue Star Ring. But if we attack now, wouldn't the Land of Light just follow along for a win? We'd be fighting life and death at the front, while they're behind enjoying the spoils? I'm not generous enough to make a wedding dress for others. Before making a move, I need to make the Land of Light a complete vassal of Great Xia."

"I've realized that their willingness to submit is entirely because of you alone."

Han Yun City asked, "And how will you explain the fact that you're still alive when the time comes?"

Xu Lingjun laughed, "That's too easy; just say I broke through in the heat of battle and comprehended the method of nuclear fusion... Anyway, my lips meet and separate, whatever I say goes. By then, even if they want to backtrack, it might be too late."

"When will you go then?"

"Might as well wait for a reply from His Majesty."

Xu Lingjun said, "After all, if the territory suddenly expanded significantly, but His Majesty was the last to know, that would be quite disrespectful. If His Majesty knows nothing and I've already taken over the land... I'm reckoning he'd go crazy..."

"Alright, let's wait for his reply then."

Han Yun City muttered, "Though I'm guessing he's already gone mad. I, his father, don't have such high tolerance for stress. The things you're doing are likely to scare him to death sooner or later."

A few days later.

Indeed, they received an imperial edict from Han Xu Yang.

All matters regarding the allegiance of the Land of Light shall be decided by Xu Lingjun alone. In the face of turbulent times, all formalities can be waived, as long as the prestige of Great Xia is not diminished!

Seeing this document...

Xu Lingjun's expression was full of oddity.

And Han Yun City was already laughing mischievously, grinning, "I originally thought I would become the Regent King for my sister, but it seems I might end up as your Regent King instead... Old Xu, despite me being here, you have the final say on everything. Looks like my dear deceased father is thinking about abdication."

Xu Lingjun said speechlessly, "Are you genuinely not afraid that the Han family's kingdom will change its surname to Xu?"

"So what, didn't you promise Li Jingjun that your future child would take the Li surname to continue the Li Clan's legacy? If that's the case, then your future child with my sister can take her surname and inherit the throne."

Han Yun City grinned mischievously, "Otherwise, my sister also works, or both together are fine, my dear brother-in-law."

Xu Lingjun: "..............."
