My Demonic Cult's Holy Maiden

Su Yue smiled, snuggled back into Qi Yu's arms, reached out and hugged Qi Yu's waist, pressing her whole body tightly against Qi Yu.

"No matter what, I will always stand by your side, my husband, and I will protect you. So please sleep peacefully, my husband!"

Qi Yu felt a warmth in his heart in the darkness, hugged Su Yue tightly, and said softly, "Okay! Go to sleep!"

In the darkness, the two huddled together, but neither spoke nor moved, as if they were truly asleep.

Two bright eyes, wide open in the darkness, each pondered a question, and the same question.

In the end, their ideas were surprisingly in agreement!

No matter what, you must protect your husband (wife)!

Even so, many people will die!

Chapter 162 Staying out of it?

On the eve of the Lunar New Year, the seven countries bordering the Dayun Dynasty simultaneously dispatched troops and stationed them at various passes.

A tense atmosphere quickly spread throughout the Dayun Dynasty, causing panic among countless people and leading to riots.

However, the imperial court quickly stepped in to appease them and demonstrate its determination to resist the Japanese invasion.

The Dayun Dynasty will fight to the end and will never allow itself to be slaughtered.

The impassioned words spoken by Crown Prince Li Ming last night, driven by those with ulterior motives, quickly spread throughout the Dayun Dynasty.

Although there are still voices of fear and aversion to war, many more are passionate and have a very high desire to fight.

At this time, at the recruitment office, countless young men lined up to join the army.

Because of Qi Yu's influence, many scholars also requested to join the army, and the Dayun Dynasty was bustling with activity.

The cohesion among the people of the Dayun Dynasty was something even the imperial court might not have anticipated.

Even in secret, some people still advocated handing over Qi Yu, not wanting to fight.

After all, it was a coalition of seven countries. Although the Great Yun Dynasty was powerful, it was impossible for it to defeat seven countries.

They believe that the current resistance is nothing more than throwing an egg against a rock.

……

Qi Yu woke up early in the morning and was stunned to hear the news of the seven kingdoms' joint attack on Yun.

Although I had anticipated this, it still felt somewhat unreal when it actually happened.

After thinking about it, Qi Yu understood.

He was just a figurehead; even without him, the seven kingdoms would still unite to attack Yun.

Because the current Great Yun Dynasty is indeed very powerful, so powerful that it makes them restless and unable to eat or sleep.

I was merely the straw that broke the camel's back, causing them to advance their cloud-cutting schedule.

He himself wasn't that important, so he got seven people to unite and attack Yun for his own sake.

Qi Yu has that much self-awareness!

So this whole thing wasn't my fault?

That means I don't need to take any responsibility!

In that case, I might as well just relax and watch the show!

To be honest, he didn't feel any sense of belonging to the Dayun Dynasty, because he always felt that he didn't belong to this world.

My ideal is to be a lazy bum, it's that simple!

Moreover, with the weapons he gave Li Ming, even if the Dayun Dynasty was no match for them, the situation wouldn't be one-sided.

As for whether many people will die, what does that have to do with me?

They didn't start the war themselves; they fought and bled for their respective countries.

It's not like I put them on the battlefield, nor did I kill them.

He wasn't arrogant enough to be entitled to pity and compassion; he was just an ordinary person.

If those people all listen to me, I don't want them to fight, because fighting means people will die.

The problem is that I am powerless and my words cannot influence their will.

If that's the case, then let's just watch them fight!

Life and death are preordained by fate, and it doesn't matter who wins or loses.

He was confident he could protect his family and friends; he couldn't concern himself with anything else.

The whole family sat together eating breakfast, and the Su family all looked at Qi Yu, who was eating calmly, with surprised expressions.

This is too peaceful!

Even now, when Qi Yu says he's going to join the army, they all think it's normal. But his expression and demeanor, as if nothing is wrong, surprise them.

"Yu'er, don't you have anything to say? Like, how to go and help?" Su Chengying asked tentatively.

Qi Yu placed a peeled egg into the bowl in front of Su Yue, blinked at Su Chengying's words, and looked puzzled.

"Help? Why should I help? I didn't cause this. The rise of the Great Yun Dynasty is bound to be suppressed and feared by surrounding countries. That's normal!"

"They're bound to have a war sooner or later, so let them fight if they want!"

Everyone here is intelligent, and they all understand what Qi Yu is saying. But judging from Qi Yu's past personality, he seems to be a righteous man who cares about the country and its people!

Now that there is about to be widespread bloodshed and rivers of blood, shouldn't you do something?

At least don't be so calm!

“You are a citizen of the Great Yun Dynasty, aren’t you? Shouldn’t you do your part?” Su Chengying said.

His words were a reminder to Qi Yu of the principle that if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold.

The Dayun Dynasty has fallen, and they, as its subjects, will all become slaves of a conquered nation.

Qi Yu sighed helplessly and said, "If they would listen to me, I would definitely go!"

"But the problem is, they won't listen to what I say. They just want to fight. What's the point of me going?"

"If the Great Yun Dynasty is truly facing the critical moment of destruction, I will do my utmost to serve the country, after all, I grew up in the Great Yun Dynasty."

"But it's clear now that the Great Yun Dynasty doesn't need my help, because it is indeed very strong. So what do I have to worry about?"

Su Chengying was speechless. Indeed, as Qi Yu said, he alone could not change anything.

Because Qi Yu is currently only a disciple of the sect leader, not the sect leader himself.

If he were the head coach, he might be somewhat useful, but right now he's still too young.

His words were somewhat useful, but only to a limited extent.

"You're really suited to be the head coach!" Su Chengying said to Qi Yu with admiration.

Qi Yu is currently practicing 'non-action'!

'Wuwei' does not mean doing nothing at all, but simply refraining from imposing interference.

Qi Yu didn't know how to respond to those kinds of questions again.

How come I'm suitable to be the head coach?

I really dislike Taoist priests and don't want to be one!

Although it seems that Taoist priests in this world are allowed to marry, I still resist...

“Husband, if you don’t want to be the head instructor, then don’t be. No matter what, I will support you!” Su Yue suddenly said.

The other four people at the table were stunned for a moment, then looked at Su Yue in surprise.

Qi Yu quickly realized what was happening, then smiled and said, "Thank you, my wife. You're so kind to me!"

Su Yue smiled, then placed an egg in Qi Yu's bowl and said with a smile, "I'm your wife! If I'm not good to you, who will?"

Qi Yu felt a warmth in his heart. Yes!

Su Yue didn't marry me for anything from me at the beginning; she just genuinely liked me and wanted to marry me.

Whether she was a head instructor or a poor scholar, it seemed to make no difference to Su Yue.

Xu Shuqin's eyes welled up with tears as she looked at Su Yue with relief.

My daughter has finally grown up!

She has become so virtuous!

I thought she would be as willful and capricious as before, but now she is considerate of others.

Su Chengying and Su Yun's expressions became somewhat strange, and then they both had the same question.

What kind of bewitching potion did Qi Yu give to his daughter (sister)?

This virtuous Su Yue is completely different from the Su Yue they remember!

Chapter 163 Victory

After the Dayun Dynasty made it clear that it would not compromise, the allied forces of the seven kingdoms began to block the border, and war broke out one after another.

Every day, we could hear various battle reports and the cries of soldiers' families after receiving news of their deaths.

War is never a game for one person; it is an extension of desire and a manifestation of the worst aspects of human nature.

The war raged for three days, but the Dayun Dynasty successfully withstood the attack thanks to its superior weaponry and strong logistical support.

But it's obvious to anyone with eyes that the Dayun Dynasty can't hold out for long with such a passive defense.
