บท 2644: Chapter 2579: Past Events_1

Just as Dai Yun'er was lost in her thoughts, the soldiers from the Xingluo Empire who had left earlier marched over in tidy formation.

The man leading them asked cautiously, "Your Royal Highness the Princess, His Majesty the Emperor has commanded us to pack your belongings, do you think..."

Although they didn't know why His Majesty the Emperor had canceled her detention, all they needed to do was follow orders!

On hearing this, Dai Yun'er took a deep breath and glanced at them without a trace of emotion, "No need, I can do it myself."

The former swallowed hard, mustering courage to say, "That won't do, you are Her Royal Highness the Princess, how can we let you do such work yourself?"

He paused, then sharply scolded the rest of the soldiers, "Don't just stand there like fools, help Her Royal Highness pack her belongings!"

If His Majesty the Emperor were to find out, their heads wouldn't be safe!

Dai Yun'er, already in a foul mood, shouted angrily, "Can't you understand human speech? I said I can do it myself!"

Since she was going to leave the Star Luo Empire Palace anyway, she didn't want to accept any favors!

The soldier's body trembled, and he knelt down without hesitation, pleading fearfully, "Your Royal Highness the Princess, please don't make things difficult for us!"

The other soldiers also bowed their heads immediately, clearly showing their intention not to let her leave unless they agreed to their help!

Dai Yun'er wanted to scold them again but realized that they were also being forced, so she said expressionlessly, "You... fine, after today, I am no longer the Princess of the Xingluo Empire, follow me."

Only then did the soldiers breathe a sigh of relief, "Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Princess!!"

With that, they followed her into the palace to pack her luggage...

...

Upon returning to his palace, Dai Yueyan felt an annoying irritability in his heart...

Immediately after, a torrent of regret flooded over him...

If he had agreed to Yun'er just now, would she really have stayed in the palace forever?

But by doing so, would he not have been too selfish?

However, no one was there to answer him...

Meanwhile, outside the palace, the loud voice of a soldier rang out, "Report... Reporting to His Majesty the Emperor, we have packed Her Royal Highness the Princess's luggage as you ordered!"

Dai Yueyan thought of standing up abruptly but suppressed the impulse, saying solemnly, "Has she left already?"

The soldier immediately replied, "Yes, Your Majesty the Emperor, Her Royal Highness the Princess left the imperial palace a few minutes ago, but she did not tell us where she was going!"

Dai Yueyan nodded, then asked again, "What did she take with her?"

The soldier spoke cautiously, "She only took some personal clothing, Your Majesty; she did not take anything you had prepared for her!"

Then, with a hesitant face, he said, "Uh, Your Majesty the Emperor, shall we send some Soul Masters to secretly protect her?"

Leaving the Star Luo Empire Palace did not mean that Dai Yun'er was no longer Her Royal Highness the Princess!

She could very well encounter unknown dangers!

Such as the evil Soul Masters from the Holy Spirit Cult!

Dai Yueyan decisively rejected the idea, "No need for that, if Yun'er were to find out, it would only cause her trouble."

At this point, nothing else mattered...

He waved his hand dismissively, "Alright, the other matters are none of your concern, you may leave!"

The soldier had nothing more to say, nodded slightly and said, "Yes, Your Majesty the Emperor! I will take my leave now!"

A lonely atmosphere once again enveloped the entire palace...

Dai Yueyan, holding back the bitterness at the corners of his eyes, murmured, "She's gone, well, perhaps it's for the best!"

The Ultimate Douluo who had been guarding by the side revealed himself and gently consoled, "Your Majesty, don't be too heartbroken. Perhaps Her Royal Highness the Princess will return before long!"

The former gave a bitter smile, "No... I understand Yun'er's personality, she will not come back!"

Even if he himself, or the entire Xingluo Empire, were to perish in war...

...

Blacksmith Association!

At this moment, several esteemed members of the Blacksmith Association were looking at Zhen Hua sitting in front of them with great delight...

"Pres... President, after you took the position of Acting Vice President again, those troublemakers have all given up competing!"

"Indeed, they thought they could take over the Blacksmith Association with the help of the federation—what a fantasy!"

"Lucky for us the President didn't leave. Otherwise, the Blacksmith Association would definitely fall into the hands of the federation, even becoming a vassal to them!"

Despite the assistance from contenders with the backing of powers like the federation, the one who truly had absolute command within the Blacksmith Association was only the sitting Zhen Hua...

Hearing this, Zhen Hua just silently sighed...

After all, it was because he couldn't bear to leave the Blacksmith Association, couldn't part with this identity; otherwise, he would have departed back then...

These members, as if they hadn't heard him, started discussing again...

"Speaking of which, I remember President Zhen Hua should have a distinguished disciple, right? After so many years, his forging skills must have reached perfection, perhaps he can be established as the next candidate for President!"

"That's a great idea. In that way, if the President ever gets tired, there would be someone to take over, avoiding interference from other forces!"

"Agreed, since it's President Zhen Hua's disciple, he can't be mediocre!"

However, a few members who were in the know suddenly changed their expressions...

After glancing at Zhen Hua, they quickly denied, "What are you talking about? The President has never taken a disciple, so how could he have a candidate to choose from!"

"Yes, yes, don't talk nonsense like that! Lest it spread out!!"

"The Blacksmith Association has a President, why need a candidate!!"

Zhen Hua, of course, was well aware that they didn't want to affect his mood because of this matter, and in an indifferent tone said, "It's alright to tell them those things, after all, the bond between that child and me as master and disciple has already been severed."

Although his words lacked any emotion, they were filled with a sense of sadness...

After receiving permission, the man beside him thoughtfully, and only after careful consideration, revealed the entire situation...

After listening, those members who had just made the suggestion all appeared to have an epiphany...

"So... so that's how it is. I had no idea the President's disciple was actually the current master of the Spirit Pagoda; no wonder I never saw her in the Association!"

"In this case, it's indeed impossible to establish her as the next President of the Blacksmith Association, otherwise, it would violate the rules..."

"Tsk, this Gu Yuena is really ungrateful. After inheriting the position of the Spirit Pagoda's master, she severed the mentor-disciple relationship with the President, clearly fearing it would lower her own status!"

The former immediately glared at him, "Don't talk nonsense. Only the President knows the specific circumstances; we bystanders have no right to judge!"

He cursed inwardly, "Don't these guys know what should be said and what should not?"

It was obvious when Gu Yuena was mentioned, the President's deep gaze became very tender!

Needless to say, there must be some secret history here!!
