Fairy, shut up! I'm really not blondie.

Just as Yan Youyu was about to say something, she saw a tall figure walking towards them.

The war god, dressed in a loose-fitting long robe and wearing a mask, stared intently at the boy.

"Ming, is it really necessary to be so serious first thing in the morning?"

"He's even wearing a mask. There's no need for us to be so distant."

Su Qing looked at the older sister who was walking over and opened her arms to her.

"Stop wasting time, we need to get down to business."

"You really think you can just do whatever you want, handing over the cave to them to solve?"

Dong Huangming slapped the boy's hand away, saying irritably.

She was actually somewhat unhappy with the decision he made.

This is tantamount to completely handing over the initiative to these sects.

As a result, Dayan, which was originally expected to get a share of the pie, may have received less than expected.

Or rather, much less.

"Ming, are you angry?"

Su Qing raised his eyebrows and asked.

"I just feel that what you did was not a wise choice at all."

"The entrance fees they pay are indeed high, but their value cannot compare to the cultivation resources they provide."

"And they didn't even consult me; they did it privately."

Dong Huangming said something in an annoyed tone.

"So, what's the reason you're angry, the former or the latter?"

Su Qing asked again.

"the latter."

The God of War's voice sounded icy cold.

She was originally pondering how to deal with these sects, but what happened?

They just sent me a task without telling me anything.

She did indeed follow the instructions, but it was impossible for her not to get angry.

Because the relationship between the two people is not that of a superior and subordinate.

They were engaged, not to mention his relationship with Qingxian.

You made this decision without saying a word, directly handing over the initiative.

What is this? Isn't this completely disregarding her?

"Ming, come and have some breakfast first. I feel like you have some misunderstanding about me."

Su Qing didn't seem to mind the coldness, smiled, and said...

In a strict sense, it is actually a good thing to act this way.

If it were someone she had no connection with, would she still act this way?

the answer is negative.

If that scheming empress gives an order, she will simply carry it out silently.

As for emotions, there's absolutely no way there could be any.

Having emotions means you're starting to care about yourself, which is a good thing!

"Then you'd better give me a reasonable explanation."

Dong Huangming glanced at the clear fish soup on the table and said.

She came over early in the morning and really didn't have time to eat.

While the two were talking, other people gradually came over.

They were each seated around an extra-large round table that had been built, looking in this direction.

"Ming, you should have given all the necessary instructions by now. When will the arena be finished?"

Su Qing asked.

"All those sects are here, and we still need to set up camp."

"Only after another batch of trees are cut down to clear the space can the arena be officially built."

"At the earliest, it will be this afternoon."

Dong Huangming tasted the delicious fish soup and replied.

The tasks have already been assigned, so she doesn't need to stay there any longer.

After all, the person responsible for helping isn't a child; they need to be watched closely to work properly.

"That's good. We can rest here for a bit. Thank you for your hard work."

Su Qing's gaze softened as she spoke.

He looked at Donghuang, who had already removed his mask, and then subconsciously glanced at the people around him.

Looking around, among this circle of beautiful women, not one of them possessed the aura of a military genius.

It could even be said that it has absolutely no connection whatsoever.

The solemn air that comes from years of military service is truly refreshing.

Yes, it makes one want to see another side of her.

For example, the way she looks so alluring and languid when I give her a massage...

"You say nice things, but there seems to be something wrong with your eyes."

Dong Huangming narrowed his eyes slightly, his dignified gaze sharp.

She does indeed easily show a relaxed side when she's alone with him.

After all, he was her fiancé, and also her best friend's younger brother.

But if there are other people around, she becomes completely businesslike.

This can't be called being pretentious; it's just her personality.

A military genius is not someone you can easily approach.

"You've misunderstood, Ming. Everyone's here now, so just say whatever your question is."

"I will answer your questions and clear up any misunderstandings you may have about me."

Chapter 279: I'm submissive within the Su family, but I don't strike hard outside.

Su Qing looked a little serious when she said this.

This keen insight is almost like being able to see through people's hearts.

Fortunately, he is quite experienced in acting.

"Then explain to me why you gave them the initiative."

"Once the final winner is determined, our voice will be greatly diminished."

Dong Huangming asked the question directly.

After all, something like this is bound to be watched by many eyes.

Even when a winner is decided, they still don't give the other side the treatment they deserve...

That is certainly untenable in theory.

By then, there will be no reason for anyone to intervene; surely they won't resort to unreasonable demands?

Regardless of what happens behind the scenes, such matters must be conducted openly and respectably.

Otherwise, it is very likely that the forces that are paying attention to Dayan will become disgusted.

"Ming, I have to correct you on one mistake. When did I give the initiative to someone else?"

"I've always been leading them by the nose, and they've been constantly compromising with me!" (Wing 7 covered the tumor with his hand, seemingly unrelated to the previous sentence.)

Su Qing asked with a subtle smile on her face.

"They did back down repeatedly before, you did a good job."

"They caused us some trouble by coming over, but we've already paid the venue fee."

"But what happens next? Will you still be able to control the overall situation?"

Dong Huangming said in a dissatisfied voice.

She mostly understood, agreed with, and supported his decisions.

But this last move was not a wise choice at all!

"Of course, Ming, who told you they would fight in arena battles?"

Su Qing took a sip of fish soup and asked.

"Elder Li, what's the point of preparing a fighting arena otherwise?"

Dong Huangming frowned, realizing that things didn't seem to be as he had thought.

Does the young fiancé's question imply some other arrangement?

"I mean, who told you they'd fight each other?"

"It's not that they want to fight in the ring, it's that they want to fight us."

Su Qing extended a finger and gently shook it, correcting the other person's incorrect statement.

Upon hearing this, everyone present paused for a moment.

"You mean you want me to personally step into the ring and defend it? No, no, no, you wouldn't do that..."

Dong Huangming said subconsciously, his eyes filled with thought.

"If Ming were to fight them, it would be a huge disgrace to the Great Yan."

“We cannot bully the weak; we cannot do anything that would tarnish our image.”

"Therefore, the people representing us in the battle are Qingxuan and Qingyi."

“They are all young and from sects, so they can naturally participate.”

Su Qing turned her gaze to the two girls.

"Brother, leave it to me!"

Yu Qingxuan responded expressionlessly.

"This is somewhat unexpected... but it's not a big problem."

The woman in green paused for a moment, then spoke confidently.

She was subservient to the Su family and had to use her skills to please someone from time to time.

But outside, she is a peerless master whom countless people look up to!

I can't beat those old guys, but I can easily take on some of the smaller ones!

Dong Huangming fell completely silent.

She looked at the boy with a subtle expression, hesitating for a moment, as if she didn't know what to say.

In the end, she gave up on saying anything and simply drank the fish soup in silence.

The military genius began to carefully consider the feasibility of this matter.

If we look at it from a different perspective, this actually seems quite promising.
