Chapter 1598 Roadblock (First Update)
Quan Yuxun did not use a virtual background, but directly used his own bedroom background.

The main color of his bedroom is light gold, occasionally mixed with a few strands of silver gray, which looks elegant, noble, mysterious and low-key.

This is not consistent with his image as a gentle and polite person with a sharp and frosty personality.

But Xia Chujian liked it as soon as she saw it, and thought it was much better than the dark main color of Huo Yushen’s bedroom.

When Quan Yuxun saw the scenery in the background of Xia Chujian, his eyes suddenly brightened.

Although I was not there in person, it gave me a great visual pleasure, as if I could smell the elegant fragrance of flowers and was in the green jungle.

He said with a smile: "It seems that Yuanbao is really on vacation."

"What a beautiful view! Did you go to the resort in the imperial capital?"

As far as he knew, there was such a resort in a valley outside the imperial capital.

However, places like this are all owned by the royal family.

Although it is open to the public, only nobles above the rank of Viscount are eligible to consume there.

Without a certain noble title, you can't get in even if you have money.

He thought that it was Su Buyan who gave Xia Chujian the qualification to enter.

Xia Chujian didn't deny it, but wasn't sure either. She smiled and said, "Guess."

Quan Yuxun said, "It should be Su Buyan, right? He is the only one who is qualified and has time to help you enter this resort."

Xia Chujian followed his lead and asked curiously, "...Why is he the only one who is qualified? Can't I go by myself?"

Quan Yuxun said: "Unfortunately, this resort center requires a noble or a noble's recommendation to go there."

"Among the people you know, if I didn't introduce you, then only Su Buyan and Zong Ruoning can introduce you."

"Zong Ruoning is very busy right now. I don't think he has the energy to recommend a holiday center to you."

"So only Su Buyan, who is also on 'vacation' now, has the time and energy to do this."

Xia Chujian still didn't answer directly, but just asked: "What is Zong Ruoning busy with? Why is he so anxious? Is there any trouble with the Zong family?"

Quan Yuxun rubbed his forehead and said lightly, "Isn't there enough trouble with the Zong family?"

"The good deeds done by the eldest princess of the second branch of the Zong family and Zong Weiding have caused Madam Su of the first branch of the Zong family to fall ill again."

"Zong Ruoning had to take care of his mother while taking over the assets of the second branch of the Zong family."

Xia Chujian was very surprised: "Why did Zong Ruoning from the first branch take over the assets of the second branch of the Zong family? Is this legal?"

Quan Yuxun patiently gossiped with her: "The masters of the second branch of the Zong family, that is, the eldest princess and Zong Weiding, have both been executed, leaving behind only an illegitimate son, Zong Ruo'an, and a legitimate daughter, Zong Qianxi."

"Zong Qianxi originally admired her brother Zong Ruoan the most. Now that she knows that he and she are half-siblings and illegitimate children, her attitude towards him has changed immediately."

"She kept shouting that she wanted to kick him out of the Zong family, and declared that Zong Ruoan was not eligible to inherit her parents' estate, and that she was the first heir to her parents' estate. She also threatened that if Young Master Zong did not give her her parents' estate, she would sue the Zong family!"

"But Zong Ruoning doesn't spoil Zong Qianxi."

"He calmly warned her that she had been expelled from the Zong family and had lost her inheritance rights because she had poisoned Master Zong."

"So now, the direct heir to the property of the second branch of the Zong family is Mr. Zong."

"Because the second wife has no children with legal inheritance rights, the property will be inherited by the parents."

"And Mr. Zong's property will belong to Zong Ruoning from now on."

"This can be considered as compensation to the Zong family's eldest branch."

"After all, it was the Second House that caused the first house's male owner to have an accident and die in the Starry Sky Battlefield."

Xia Chujian knew that Quan Yuxun was talking about Zong Weiping from the eldest branch of the Zong family, the former imperial marshal.

She also sighed and said, "Really... a good family has to be tossed around. If it's torn apart, will you feel relieved?"

"Zong Ruoan is so unlucky to have such parents."

"But I still think that Zong Ruoan himself is not that bad. I mean, compared to his father, adoptive mother, and half-sister, he is already a good outgrowth of a bad situation."

"So now, does he have nothing? Can't he inherit any inheritance at all?"

"Didn't that dog emperor change the inheritance law before he died, allowing illegitimate children to inherit as well, and he also traced it back thirty years?"

Quan Yuxun said: "Unfortunately, his age is just a little over 30, so the law does not apply to him."

Xia Chujian shrugged: "That's true... But, Master Zong wouldn't be so heartless as to completely ignore Zong Ruoan, right? After all, he did suffer from the consequences."

Quan Yuxun said: "You know Master Zong quite well. Yes, Master Zong will not just sit there and watch him."

"I just made a trust arrangement with him. Zong Ruoan has his own trust fund. He is now a member of the lower house of the Senate. All the private staff around him are still paid by the Zong family."

"From now on, the funding for his election campaign will also be borne by the Zong family."

“It’s not much different from before.”

Xia Chujian sighed and said, "Chief Quan, they asked you to be their lawyer, and you sold out all their privacy... I didn't know Chief Quan was so gossipy..."

The corners of Quan Yuxun's mouth twitched, he felt both angry and amused.

He said slowly: "Birds of a feather flock together. If the person talking to me wasn't so gossipy, I wouldn't gossip along with him."

Xia Chujian laughed loudly: "Why do they say that those who are close to vermilion will be red, and those who are close to ink will be black? I am just close to ink, hahahaha..."

Kwon Yu-hoon couldn't help but reveal a very relaxed smile, which was completely different from his usual formulaic "Kwon Yu-hoon smile". It was a kind of laughter that came from the bottom of his heart.

Xia Chujian also felt that Quan Yuxun's smile was very sincere and no longer pretended. She encouraged him, "You look good when you smile. You should smile more."

"I'm talking about a real smile! Not that fake smile like the famous 'Kwon Yu-hoon smile.'" "Kwon Yu-hoon smile" has become a meme on Starnet.

Quan Yuxun curled the corners of his lips and said, "Okay, I'll listen to Yuanbao and smile more in the future."

Then, before Xia Chujian could continue to confront him, Quan Yuxun quickly asked, "What do you think of the recent trending searches on Starnet?"

Xia Chujian was surprised: "What do you think? Do I need to have an opinion?"

"I don't even know what's trending right now. I haven't been on Starnet for a long time."

Quan Yuxun: "...So what are you doing on vacation?"

Xia Chujian thought, what?

Of course, I went to fight with the higher-level Zerg!

Although she couldn't win the fight, Aunt She could!

To round it off, she beat him.

Xia Chujian thought carelessly and said cunningly, "It's just a vacation!"

“Do what you really want to do, not what you have to do for work.”

Quan Yuxun was slightly stunned: "You call joining the army a job?"

Xia Chujian nodded: "From my point of view, joining the army is a job, so of course it means going to work."

Quan Yuxun said calmly: "But other jobs don't cost your life."

"If joining the military is a job, it's a deadly job."

Xia Chujian said: "I know! I just like the feeling of defeating my opponent while working!"

Quan Yuxun: "..."

It seems that I really didn’t go to Star Network to see the trending searches.

He had no choice but to say, "Don't worry, Zoran David will never be awarded the rank of colonel."

"I have terminated his commission."

Xia Chujian was surprised: "What? You terminated Zoran David's title?!"

"Chief Quan, you are only the chief legal advisor to the Senate, not the emperor, right?!"

"Hasn't Her Majesty the Empress issued an order?!"

Quan Yuxun said: "From a procedural point of view, no official decree has been issued yet, it's just a leak."

"Besides, it's not just us who are unhappy. There are also a large number of people in the military who are dissatisfied."

“So starting from there, the procedure was wrong.”

Xia Chujian seemed to understand what he said, but he didn't ask any more questions. He just said, "You are so amazing!"

"Professionals do professional things. If Chief Quan takes action, Zoran David will definitely not be his opponent!"

Quan Yuxun said: "I hate these people from the Western Manelli Federation."

"They betrayed their own country, but they are treated like heroes in our country. It makes me angry just thinking about it."

Xia Chujian was surprised: "So Chief Quan also thinks so? I thought only ordinary people like us think so..."

Quan Yuxun was so angry that he laughed: "Why can't I think like this? I am also a human being... and a member of the Beichen Empire."

Xia Chujian cupped her hands towards him and coaxed him, "Okay, okay, I said the wrong thing, Qilin, don't be angry, I apologize!"

Quan Yuxun: "..."

This is the first time I've seen Xia Chujian be so nice to talk to and even apologize...

It made him feel numb and tingling, and even his previously fluent speech became a little hoarse, and many words were stuck at his lips, unable to come out.

He didn't say anything, just smiled slightly and looked at Xia Chujian in silence.

Xia Chujian was not at all uncomfortable, and said proudly: "Zollen David can't be a colonel anymore, I'm happy!"

"Although his current military rank is still higher than mine, it is just a mere rank and cannot be counted!"

Quan Yuxun came back to his senses and said with a smile, "You can't say it's impossible."

"Because Her Majesty the Empress has ordered them to go to the front line and prepare for the first battle against the Zerg together with the soldiers of the Fifth Interstellar Fleet."

Now it was Xia Chujian's turn to be silent.

She really wants... really wants... to go to the battlefield with her comrades!
But she couldn't go.

Because the Empress Tan Tai Zijun is now going to honor Zoren David and his group.

All the credit should be given to them.

When Xia Chu saw this "roadblock", he decided to put it aside for the time being.

Only after Zoran David and his men have proved that they can defeat the Zerg with “zero casualties” will Empress Tan Tai Zijun call them back.

Then came the battlefield where Xia Chujian met.

Now, not yet.

It’s not that she doesn’t want to, but opportunities and trends never wait for anyone.

There will be a second update at five minutes past twelve noon.
