At this moment, in the Su family meeting hall in Gu Yongshang City.

Su Qin, Su Qingyuan, and Yu Qian were drinking tea and discussing their cooperation.

When Yu Qian's AI received a new text message notification, he put down his teacup, picked up the AI, glanced at it, and almost spat out the mouthful of tea he was savoring.

"Chen Feng is going to the Snowstorm City?" Yu Qian asked Su Qingyuan with some surprise. "You suggested it to him?"

Su Qingyuan said innocently, "No, why would I suggest he go to that godforsaken place?"

Yu Qian placed the academy's smart brain on the table. The metal casing collided with the rosewood table, making a soft sound. Yu Qian's brows furrowed.

"You didn't give the order? Then what's wrong with this kid? He just submitted a border garrison application to the military, and the approval just came through. His destination is Snowstorm City in the Snowstorm City-State."

Su Qingyuan frowned, her bright eyes filled with astonishment: "How long has it been since he got rid of the mess left by Mo Chen's special envoy? Why would he give up the peaceful life in Gu Yongshang City to go and suffer in that freezing, godforsaken place?"

However, after Su Qingyuan had been thinking quietly for a while, she seemed to suddenly remember something, and her voice lowered a few decibels, "Could it be... it's for the Purple Wing Insect Clan?"

"Purple Captain Zerg..."

Yu Qian pondered, as if he had also thought of something.

"This kid's got some serious ambition. He's giving up a perfectly good life to go and go head-to-head with the Zerg Queen?"

At this moment, Su Qin, who had been silently drinking tea in the main seat, finally raised his eyes.

His knuckles rubbed against the white jade thumb ring, but his voice was as deep as an ancient bell: "The Snow City-State is adjacent to the far northern ice plains and is the northernmost line of defense of the Qian Yuan Dynasty. Not only are there ice demon lairs hidden deep in the glaciers, but countless relics from the old era are also buried underground. It has always been a dangerous place."

"The snowy land is indeed not that simple." Yu Qian sighed, picked up his teacup and took a big gulp to calm his shock. "But I reckon Chen Feng should be quite confident."

Su Qin nodded.

"Qingyuan, since your people are determined to go to that place, as their master, you should also show your support."

Su Qingyuan's eyelashes trembled, and her expression seemed to show a hint of embarrassment.

"When...did he become mine...?"

"Young Master Qingyuan, I still vividly remember the scene of you debating with the scholars. Don't tell me you didn't have any selfish motives towards Chen Feng. I bet everyone except the most naive person knows that Chen Feng is one of yours," Yu Qian said with a smile.

Su Qin remained silent for a moment upon hearing this, then tapped his fingertips twice on the armrest before suddenly looking up at Yu Qian.

"Mr. Yu, our two families are discussing in-depth cooperation. Chen Feng is not only your disciple, but also an vassal of my Su family. Logically speaking, we should both help him... In the harsh land of Fengxue City, the Su family once set up a secret outpost and stockpiled supplies and intelligence networks, but it has not been used for many years."

Yu Qian's eyes suddenly lit up: "What the patriarch means is..."

Su Qin's voice was not loud, but it carried an undeniable certainty: "If he wants to venture into the Northern Border, we can offer him an umbrella. I also trust him to use the Su family's secret agents."

"Hmm, that sounds reasonable." A shrewd glint flashed in Yu Qian's eyes.

Although the head of the Su family handed over the clan's hidden sentries to Chen Feng, he did not say anything about their level or even whether the supplies inside had expired.

To call this a help to Chen Feng is far too perfunctory.

"Then I'll give Chen Feng a small favor in return." As Yu Qian's lips curled into a very faint smile, "The military also has a training center in the Permafrost Fortress. I will give Chen Feng a pass to the fortress and a certain amount of credit to ensure his training progress in the Northern Territory. It can also be considered a kind of fate between master and disciple."

It was clear that Yu Qian had already expressed his opinion.

Su Qin looked at Su Qingyuan.

"Qingyuan, please tell Chen Feng about our decision. Once we reach the Northern Territory, the Illusionary Realm there will affect our communications."

"Okay! I'll go arrange it right away!" Su Qingyuan immediately got up and walked out.

Watching the girl's hurried departure, Su Qin and Yu Qian exchanged a glance, both seeing a knowing smile in each other's eyes.

Yu Qian picked up his teacup and gave a respectful toast to Su Qin from afar: "Master, you have shown great foresight. I thank you on behalf of that young man."

"It's just a win-win situation." Su Qin raised his cup in return, the wisps of tea smoke blurring the old man's features. "Chen Feng is a boy with an extraordinary destiny; he will surely become a dragon among men in the future... It's better to offer help now than to add to someone's success later."

......

Su Qingyuan quickly returned to her Tingfeng Courtyard, dismissed the servants around her, closed the door behind her, and tapped the academy's smart device a few times to bring up the encrypted communication channel with Chen Feng.

The moment the screen lit up, Su Qingyuan was slightly taken aback.

In the shot, Chen Feng stands in a dimly lit corner of the armory, with neatly stacked kinetic rifles and Xuanbing armor behind him, and the muffled sounds of soldiers carrying weapons can be faintly heard in the background.

"Qingyuan, you were looking for me?" Chen Feng asked, looking up.

Su Qingyuan suppressed her emotions and said somewhat blankly, "There are two things I need to tell you. First, my grandfather has decided to assign the Su family's secret sentries in the Northern Territory to you. The person in charge there is Su Beihai. You need to remember that."

"Okay, thank you for your help, Patriarch Su."

Su Qingyuan sighed and added, "Secondly, Mr. Yu gave you a pass to the Permafrost Fortress training center and training resources. The spiritual energy in the Northern Territory is thin, and having a training center can help you stabilize your cultivation level."

"Okay, could you please pay my tutor the extra money for me, senior sister?"

Just this one sentence?

Su Qingyuan's anger flared up instantly. She tapped her fingertips on the table, her tone suddenly sharp: "Chen Feng, I'm asking you, why didn't you even consult me ​​about such a big matter as applying for border garrison duty?"

Chen Feng paused for a moment, the light and shadow of the screen instantly falling on his cold, hard jawline: "I'm sorry, Senior Sister Su, this is a last-minute decision, but it is also a decision I have thought through carefully."

Hearing Chen Feng's words, Su Qingyuan almost laughed in anger.

"From submitting the application to receiving approval from the military, the process takes at least three days. You didn't even have time to send a single message? Do you think that I, Su Qingyuan, am only a hindrance to you and don't even deserve to know about this?"

"Besides, in Gu Yong Shang City, you have the Su family, Instructor Yu Qian, and the academy's influence protecting you, so no one dares to easily touch you. But in Fengxue City, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, Gu Yong Shang City's reach can't extend that far... If you get into danger, who can come to your aid in time?" Su Qingyuan said somewhat angrily.

Chen Feng, as seen in the AI's camera, finally stopped all his movements.

He leaned the rifle against the metal rack beside him, his gaze fixed on her, his cold, hard features seeming to soften slightly.

"It's not that I don't want to tell Senior Sister Su, it's just that this is part of my plan, and I don't want too many people to know." Chen Feng lowered his voice, with a hint of barely perceptible calm.

"What plan?" Su Qingyuan bit her lower lip. "The Zerg Queen is a peak-level King Realm warrior with tens of thousands of Zerg soldiers under her command. You dare to raid her lair now?"

"Don't worry, Senior Sister Su, I'll find a way. Besides, things have already progressed to that point, haven't they?"

Looking at Chen Feng's nonchalant demeanor.

Su Qingyuan remained silent for a long while, until the tension in his chest subsided, leaving only a heavy worry for Chen Feng. When he spoke again, his tone had softened, offering only gentle words of advice: "If you encounter something you can't handle, don't force yourself. Contact Su Beihai."

"OK."

"Also, Chen Feng, is there anything I can do for you?"

"That should be enough, Senior Sister Su."

"Okay, I'll repay this favor later. But you have to remember, you have to stay alive, you hear me? I don't want my hard-earned handsome follower to just disappear like this."

"Senior sister, don't worry, I'll be fine without your orders."

"You'd better be!"
