Chapter 104 East Emperor Palace

Her calling him “brother-in-law” was really soul-stirring and exceedingly sentimental. This address was like a bombshell in his ears. He was so dizzy, and his brain almost crashed.

For the first time, the little princess blatantly seduced a man. Her face blushed and she was burning from head to toe. But because of her deep feelings, although she failed to tease and tempt him smoothly, she owned an inborn charm. Such a stunner already had the potential to bring calamity to the country and people when she was slightly young. How about in a few years?

With the determination possessed only by the saint, Li Tianlan helped the little princess to stand on her feet with his hands. He fought back the urge to give her a kiss as her cheeks flushed. “Go and see Qingyan first. After dinner, we’ll go down and look about.”

“Do we still have to go down? Let’s just wait for them to come here. We’re a team, an excellent team. We have three people who are among the top ten experts of the young generation. Although the title is somewhat exaggerated, Li Baitian alone is enough to make people woo him at all costs, not to mention others.”

Wang Yuetong gave Li Tianlan a dissatisfied look. “Senior brother, you’re skilled to change the topic at the critical moment. I’m bored with it.”

Li Tianlan coughed to cover his embarrassment. He didn’t retort but just continued, “Hurry up.”

Wang Yuetong bit her pink lip and turned to walk with long legs to the bedroom.

“What are you going to do in the bedroom?”

Li Tianlan asked in confusion, “Aren’t you going to help Qingyan?”

Wang Yuetong turned to glare at Li Tianlan and her complexion grew rosy. She said, annoyed, “Would you like to come in and see what I’m doing?”

Li Tianlan was about to speak when something flashed past his mind. He realized it and smiled embarrassedly. “Then I’ll go into the kitchen.”

Wang Yuetong looked at Li Tianlan quietly. It was after more than ten seconds that she burst into laughter. She came beside Li Tianlan and looked down at him.

Li Tianlan had experienced Qin Weibai’s tenderness and coquetry in depth more than once, so he was no longer a novice in sex who was innocent. On second thought, he knew what Wang Yuetong was going to do in the bedroom just now. Subconsciously, he turned his head and said calmly, “Go quickly. Don’t you…” “Don’t you feel uncomfortable?”

“Senior brother, I like it when you act indecently with solemnity.”

Wang Yuetong chuckled and sat in Li Tianlan’s embrace again. Then she put her arms around his neck and looked at him earnestly with her large eyes.

Li Tianlan looked at her quietly. In the eyes of the little princess, he could clearly see her tenderness, affections, joy, shyness, and a trace of well-hidden uneasiness.

He had seen too many such beautiful eyes and complicated looks. However, he did not find any regret and hesitation in her eyes.

“Senior brother, don’t keep me waiting too long.”

Wang Yuetong said softly as she looked at Li Tianlan. She continued after pausing for a while, “I’m…a little scared.”

There was a quiver in Li Tianlan’s heart for no reason.

What was the underlying meaning of the word “scared”?

Li Tianlan knew, but he did not know it so clearly.

Perhaps it was the attitude of the Wang family of Beihai or the desolation after he failed. It could be both, or it could be something else.

“Am I melodramatic?”

Li Tianlan suddenly asked in a soft tone.

“No, not at all.”

Wang Yuetong sat on Li Tianlan’s lap. Putting her little hands around his neck, she massaged his head and said with a chuckle, “You have the lust but not the guts to release your passion. You’re not being faithful. And yet you hesitate. You’re dirty yet cute.”

“Dirty…”

The muscles in the corners of Li Tianlan’s eyes twitched violently, and he sprang to his feet, holding her in his arms.

“What are you doing?”

Wang Yuetong exclaimed as she subconsciously hugged Li Tianlan tightly.

“I’ll change the underpants for you,” said Li Tianlan calmly.

He did not want to leave an obscene impression in Wang Yuetong’s mind, even if it was cute. In front of the girl who liked him and who he liked, he must prove that he not only had the lust, but also the guts.

Being held in Li Tianlan’s arms, Wang Yuetong struggled instinctively. After the fruitless struggle, she simply threw her arms around his neck even harder. Li Tianlan could even hear her heart beating faster and faster. But on the surface, she was still smiling brightly. Although her face was red and hot like fire, her tone was still full of an enchanting charm.

“I’m a princess, brother-in-law. Have you thought it over?”

She nibbled Li Tianlan’s ear and giggled.

Li Tianlan’s blood was boiling inside him. He rushed into the bedroom and closed the door with his feet, saying fearlessly, “I’ll press forward with an indomitable will!”

There was a knock at the door.

Li Tianlan called Qingyan to open the door and threw his so-called sister-in-law in his arms directly on the bed.

Yu Qingyan answered obediently. She went out to open the security door and was suddenly shocked.

A middle-aged woman, who looked to be in her forties and was of average build, was standing at the door. She looked at Yu Qingyan who was in a daze and nodded at her, saying softly, “Is Li Tianlan here?”

The woman’s skin was a little rough, and her appearance was ordinary, but the scar from the middle of her eyebrows to the bridge of her nose gave her a ferocious aura. She was short, in a military uniform. A gold star shining on one of her shoulders gave her a dignified and powerful aura.

Unlike Huo Yan, who had visited earlier, the woman was a Major General.

She looked at Yu Qingyan, who was somewhat stunned, and then continued, “I’m the captain of Thunder Special Forces Brigade whose code name is Three-Eye. I came to visit Li Tianlan and wanted to invite his team to join the Thunder.”

She said politely and calmly as well, without any sign of servility.

“Oh, come in.”

Yu Qingyan finally reacted. She subconsciously looked at the scar between the woman’s eyebrows. Thinking of her code name, Yu Qingyan was absorbed in thought. If she didn’t take a closer look at the scar, it did resemble a long, gloomy eye.

“Have a seat, General. I’m going to call Brother Li.”

Yu Qingyan directly headed for the bedroom after pouring Three-Eye a glass of water. No sooner had she reached the door than she heard sweet, erotic chuckles come from the bedroom. Wang Yuetong’s voice, too, seemed very different, affectedly sweet. It was a tone that would make people blush when hearing it, but instead of being affected, it sounded natural. “Don’t touch it. Your hands are dirty.”

Yu Qingyan’s face turned red and she stole a glance at Three-Eye sitting in the living room.

She wondered if Three-Eye had heard anything in the bedroom. However, Three-Eye just said softly, “I can wait.”

Yu Qingyan was simple-minded and didn’t know how to deal with the female general. As she heard the sounds in the bedroom, she felt ashamed. She said hurriedly that she was going to the kitchen and hurried over.

Three-Eye just calmly held the glass, not arrogant or impetuous.

However, Li Tianlan didn’t keep her waiting too long. In less than five minutes, he opened the door and came out. All he could think of were the tenderness and the amorous charm of the little princess, so when he saw the General sitting in the living room, he was visibly taken aback.

“Hello, Tianlan, I’m Three-Eye.”

The female general stood up and offered her hand. She behaved like a standard soldier and was straightforward. Before Li Tianlan could speak, she said voluntarily, “I would like to invite you and your team to join the Thunder.”

“Hello.”

Li Tianlan shook her hand with a deadpan expression. He pointed to the sofa and said with a gentle smile, “General, have a seat.”

Three-Eye sat back on the sofa and continued, “We have been in contact with Ning Qiancheng and Li Baitian. They’re not against joining the Thunder in principle, but mostly it’s up to you. Tianlan, the Thunder’s invitation is very sincere. I even skipped an important meeting today to invite you. I sincerely hope we can cooperate happily.”

Li Tianlan expressed no humility or gratitude. Sitting on the sofa, he looked quieter and quieter. He just smiled and murmured, “The Thunder…”

He was only halfway through when he stopped talking.

Three-Eye felt a little helpless. Though it was the first time she had seen him, Li Tianlan’s easy manner showed that he was by no means an easy person to talk to. Li Baitian described Li Tianlan as a casual person, and Ning Qiancheng said that he was decisive and honest. However, Three-Eye didn’t think so. Li Tianlan was an unfathomable young man who seemed to be the lowest in the realm but the most powerful in the team. If she didn’t deal with him carefully, she might not be able to make him her subordinate.

“The Thunder is a senior agency under Huating Special Operations Bureau,” said Three-Eye softly.

Her first sentence sounded familiar to Li Tianlan.

However, he was not so absurd as to regard her as a liar. Among other things, in a place like the Sky Academy, military rank could never be fake. So when a Major General stood here and said that her unit was a senior agency of Huating Special Operations Bureau, it was absolutely true.

Li Tianlan nodded calmly and waited for her to continue.

“The Thunder is an agency at the vice governor-general level. However, members of it have the right to read and inquire about the governor-general level files. Our headquarters is within Huating Special Operations Bureau and our branches are all over the districts of Huating. I’m the captain of the Thunder Special Forces Brigade, and also the nominal deputy director of the Special Operations Bureau. Even though I don’t have much of a hand in the Special Operations Bureau, the Special Operations Bureau basically cannot interfere in matters of the Thunder. It has always been so, and it will always be so.”

She paused for a while and then continued with a smile, “Overall, in the Thunder Special Forces Brigade, I call the shots.”

An agency at the vice governor-general level. The nominal deputy director of the Special Operations Bureau.

Having owned such a position, the ordinary Three-Eye in front of him was at least a new Thunder-shocking Realm expert.

A flash of light flashed through his eyes, but he still made no definite statement.

His target was Huating Special Operations Bureau. Now the Thunder Special Forces Brigade seemed to be more in line with his requirements. Although it was affiliated with Huating Special Operations Bureau, it had much independence. It enabled him to observe some things inside the Special Operations Bureau without too many constraints from the outside. This was simply the perfect place to go.

“Well, before I came here, I communicated with Headmaster Zhuang Huayang, and I had a general understanding of some outstanding freshmen of this semester. I think you and your team members are among the most promising freshmen. If you’re willing to join us, Tianlan, I can give you the best treatment.”

Three-Eye’s voice was still calm, but it was firm and had a strong appeal.

“The best treatment? Like what?”

Li Tianlan asked, drawing out a cigarette but not lighting it.

“A brand-new department-level agency. You can choose your own staff or we can arrange it for you. Office address, the name of the agency, and the power over personnel will be in your hands. “If you guys do well in the Sky Academy and can help us to some extent, the Thunder will also pave the way for you in the outside world. Tianlan, if you want to develop in Huating, Wuyue, and Jiangzhe in the future, we can provide you with a lot of help.”

Three-Eye said in a solemn tone.

Li Tianlan’s expression finally became serious. It was indeed a very generous offer, and only such a large agency at the vice governor-general level could afford him an agency where he could choose his own office location as well as the agency name, and control the personnel. In other words, it was a foundation that could develop slowly in the outside world. Li Tianlan had no room to reject that offer.

A department-level agency.

It sounded that the agency’s level was low, but that was as far as the Thunder could go. To establish any vice provincial-level agency that was of a higher level than a department-level agency required the approval of Huating Special Operations Bureau and needed to report to Kunlun City. Now the department-level agency was exactly suitable for Li Tianlan.

And having a department-level agency with authority that he could even name it himself was even more attractive than having an agency at vice provincial-level in some ways.

“An agency like this…”

Li Tianlan’s eyes narrowed.

“While you are at the Sky Academy, your agency is only directly accountable to me.”

Three-Eye said in a solemn tone.

If Li Tianlan could graduate from the Sky Academy as the first place, then such an agency would only accept the leadership of Kunlun City and the top officials of Zhongzhou State.

And it could be predicted that if Three-Eye was willing to support him, his agency would certainly get a great deal of room for development in the next three years. No matter what he thought, he felt he had no reason to refuse.

“This is a really generous offer.”

Li Tianlan concealed his thoughts and said as he smilingly looked at the female general in front of him.

“Your potential is worth the Thunder’s investment. And I hope you will remember the help the Thunder gave you if you succeed in the future. Today we’re superior and subordinate, perhaps tomorrow, we’re friends, and then in the future…”

She wore a rare smile and said, “Perhaps you’ll be my leader.”

“I agree to join the Thunder in principle.”

Li Tianlan looked at her carefully for a moment, then nodded his head, indicating his attitude, but he did not say anything with certainty. “Nonetheless, I still need to consult with my companions.”

“Okay.”

Three-Eye took out a card and put it on the tea table. She stood up and held out her hand to Li Tianlan, saying, “You’re welcomed to come to me anytime.”

Li Tianlan held out his hand and shook it with Three-Eye, adding a little strength.

“Tianlan, what’s the name of your agency? Haven’t you thought about it yet?”

Three-Eye asked all of a sudden.

“Not yet.”

Li Tianlan froze. “But I’ll give you an answer as soon as I can.”

The female general wearing a military uniform nodded and turned to leave directly.

Li Tianlan sent her away and returned to the living room again.

Wang Yuetong had stepped out of the bedroom with rosy cheeks and was looking earnestly at the card Three-Eye had left behind.

“This is a good agency.”

Seeing Li Tianlan coming, Wang Yuetong smiled and held up the card in her hand. “Although the Thunder is part of the Special Operations Bureau, its position in the Special Warfare System is basically neutral. Three-Eye is also famous in Huating Special Warfare System. Senior brother, are you going to join them?”

“I have this idea.”

Li Tianlan took the card and looked at it. “They offered me good treatment; a brand new department-level agency, whose office address, agency name, as well as the control over personnel, will all be handed to me. I have no reason to refuse such a generous offer.”

“Ah, this woman has made a good choice, and she is going to cost a fortune.”

With a smile, Wang Yuetong sat beside Li Tianlan, looking at him with her big eyes. “Senior brother, what will be the name of our future agency? Haven’t you thought about it yet?”

Li Tianlan shook his head. As he tried to speak, his phone suddenly vibrated in his pocket with the sound of a video call.

It was Qin Weibai’s video call.

Li Tianlan’s eyes lit up and he couldn’t wait to press the button to connect her.

Qin Weibai’s face, so beautiful that he was obsessed with it, appeared directly on the screen after a slight delay.

Her face was still pale, but she looked much better.

“What are you doing?”

Qin Weibai asked as she looked at the screen and chuckled.

“In the dormitory. I just saw off a guest.”

Li Tianlan asked smilingly, “Where are you?”

Looking at Wang Yuetong approaching, Qin Weibai answered with a chuckle, “On the sea, and I’m with my elder sister. I miss you, so I make you a video call to say that everything is OK. Is there a job fair in the Sky Academy right now? Have you decided which unit to go to? You can choose anyone with your strength.”

“I’ve decided.”

Li Tianlan said softly, “We’ll go to the Thunder. They provided us with a very generous offer.”

Suddenly, something flashed past his mind. He asked unconsciously with a smile, “Is the Palace Master at your side? The Thunder is willing to give me a brand new department-level agency, which I can specify the office location and name it myself. I wonder if the Palace Master would like to give a name to my small agency.”

On the screen, Qin Weibai was slightly shocked and her bright eyes blurred. “Self-naming?”

“Hmm,” Li Tianlan answered.

For him, Samsara Palace Master intruded into Mount Dibing. How could he forget such kindness? How could the current him exist without the set of Immortality Potions?

Such kindness meant to give him a new life.

The most important foundation of his life was about to be established. He would like the Palace Master to name his foundation, as a way of expressing his gratitude.

Qin Weibai paused for a moment, then the camera suddenly turned.

A tall, slightly overweight woman in a black cloak appeared on the screen.

She seemed to be standing at the window, looking out, motionless.

Li Tianlan knew who it was without asking. He directly stood up and said with a solemn look, “Tianlan pay respects to the Palace Master. Thank you for saving my life.”

On the screen, Samsara Palace Master slightly turned, and the cloak over her head moved slightly, as if she was nodding.

“Elder sister, Tianlan is going to name his agency. Do you have any good suggestions?”

Outside the screen, Qin Weibai’s soft voice sounded.

Samsara Palace Master’s body froze slightly. In Li Tianlan’s expectant eyes, she was silent for a long time before she spoke softly, “How about calling it East Emperor Palace?”
