After hearing the reports, Xiao Jiuyuan had a stern look on his face. He did not seem angry but his attitude was domineering. No one there dared to speak as they were terrified of Xiao Jiuyuan.

“It seems the Bei Di people see me as an eyesore. They have always wished to eliminate me and destroy the Dragon Scale Army. Well, I’d like to find out who planned the attack!”

The Bei Di people had always been hostile toward the Dongli State. As the Bei Di was located in the cold and barren north, the Bei Di people had always wanted a piece of the Dong Li state.

However, they were repeatedly stopped by Xiao Jiuyuan and his Dragon Scale Army, which made them hate him deeply.

Thus if it were an attack from the Bei Di people, it would be no surprise.

Xiao Jiuyuan looked at Hei Yao and ordered, “You, go investigate two matters. First, who ordered this group of Bei Di people to attack us. Since this person had given me such a great gift, how could I not return the favor? Second, find out who ordered those cooks to betray us. I don’t think the Bei Di people would have been able to influence the cooks, so there must be someone from Dongli State who manipulated them.”

After saying that, Xiao Jiuyuan let out a cold and terrifying sneer. Already, Yun Qianyu knew how Xiao Jiuyuan would torture the mole that had influenced the cooks and was working with the Bei Di people to eliminate him and his army.

After giving these orders, Xiao Jiuyuan continued, “Prepare a carriage for me, I need to go to Galan Academy.”

Hei Yao was stunned for a moment, and couldn’t help but quickly ask, “My Lord, why are you going to Galan Academy?”

The Galan Academy was a place of learning for the children of powerful families in Dongli state. The academy taught many skills, including spirit energy cultivation.

However, Hei Yao couldn’t figure out why his master would want to go back there.

Xiao Jiuyuan didn’t pay attention to Hei Yao’s question and just walked away. Still curious about the reason, Hei Yao wanted to ask again. However, Bai Yao gave him a nunge, glared at him and said, “Master wants you to prepare the carriage. Go.”

Hei Yao nodded and gave up on the idea of asking. However, before leaving he saw Yun Qianyu follow Xiao Jiuyuan.

Immediately, Hei Yao became infuriated and asked, “What is that ugly woman doing with our master?”

Thinking about the previous situation, Bai Yao couldn’t help but look at Yun Qianyu with curiosity. ‘Master seems to be treating Miss Yun a little differently and seems to be taking more interest in her. Maybe Miss Yun will become the princess consort after all. As such, maybe we should treat her well from now on.’

Bai Yao thought about it and said to Hei Yao, “You better stop calling her an ugly woman. Perhaps she will really be the princess consort of our master. If you bear a grudge against her now, you might end up tasting the fruits of revenge in the future.”

Hei Yao exclaimed, “Her being the princess consort? You must be out of your mind!”

After saying that, Hei Yao stormed away to prepare the carriage.

Bai Yao couldn’t help shaking his head. ‘Why can’t Hei Yao not be so impulsive? Sigh, sooner or later he’ll get in trouble because of it.’

Bai Yao then turned to general Lin and said, “General Lin, General Feng Teng is recovering well. You should focus your attention on the matters of the Dragon Scale Army.”

“Don’t worry, Mr. Bai Yao.”

In front of the West Mountain barrack gates, a carriage soon came to a stop in front of Xiao Jiuyuan and Yun Qianyu. Xiao Jiuyuan took the lead and entered the carriage first, while behind him, Yun Qianyu was taken aback and looked around. There wasn’t another carriage in sight, so how was she going to travel with Xiao Jiuyuan?

There were a few horses around but Yun Qianyu didn’t know how to ride a horse.
