Long Shanyun’s words made Baiyu somewhat hesitant.
The current situation was something he hadn’t anticipated; this Duke of Villiduo was unexpectedly easygoing. Fresh chapters posted on noveⅼfire.net
Could it be that after becoming bald, a person’s temperament improves?
Looking at Long Shanyun’s Mediterranean hairstyle, Baiyu fell into deep thought.
"Baiyu, this matter is the result of my careful consideration. Don’t think the position of General Security Bureau is easy.
The situation at the Shelter is not as simple as you imagine.
The conditions among the factions are complex, and giving you this position is not for you to idle.
The Veterans Mutual Aid Association has become almost mature over the years, so usually, there aren’t any major issues.
there is still much to be done within the Villiduo Shelter."
Long Shanyun said in a serious tone.
Only then did Baiyu understand that this seemed to be a real position of power connected to the Third Prince.
In this view, the Third Prince won’t be able to leave Kyoto for a while.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t place Baiyu in this position.
After all, Villiduo is the most prosperous city in the south of the East Prosperity Imperial, and every powerful position here is extremely valuable.
Each wishes to position their trusted confidants.
Although everyone’s aim is to resist foreign tribes, there are different circles and factions.
Where there are people, there are politics.
Relationships between people cannot be generalized; each person’s connections differ.
The Third Prince securing such a position clearly required significant efforts.
this was undoubtedly the result of multifaceted operations, coupled with Baiyu’s ambush by the Demon Race.
"Thank you, Lord Shanyun,"
Baiyu stood up and said.
"It’s a small matter. By the way, don’t take my words the wrong way.
Many people are eyeing the position of the Security Bureau, so you should be careful.
the situation within the Villiduo Shelter is not great.
There are many factions that may need your intervention, to ensure they remain orderly.
the contention among the Princes has reached a critical point and is likely to conclude soon.
You need to stay alert."
Long Shanyun kindly reminded him.
Baiyu nodded, acknowledging the goodwill in the reminder, as the succession of East Prosperity Imperial’s throne would undoubtedly be accompanied by bloodshed.
He was advising him not to get too involved.
The Third Prince understood this as well, hence not having Baiyu go to Kyoto, but stay in Villiduo to build his own power.
If the Third Prince failed in the power struggle,
he would have his own base, with Erza’s protection, and avoid a dire fate.
The Third Prince would still have a way out.
After all, his relationship with Baiyu is quite close, their association deeply rooted, having gone through life-and-death situations together, with Baiyu even assisting her with a "C-section."
Though they birthed some strange creatures.
Long Shanyun’s words made Baiyu realize that the situation in Kyoto was likely tense, with many keeping a watchful eye on him.
He needed to first establish his own faction.
With this thought, after exchanging a few polite words with Long Shanyun, Baiyu left the hall.
Roxia pulled out a Spiritual Technique Scroll from her pocket.
"This is a protective Spiritual Technique Scroll, the Wall of No Harm. If you encounter danger again, activate it immediately.
It contains my spirit technique signature.
As long as you’re within Villiduo City, I will come as quickly as possible."
Roxia, after all, was the captain of the Anomaly Bureau.
She couldn’t stay by Baiyu’s side at all times, and after this incident, while she needed to ensure Baiyu’s safety, she wasn’t going to monitor him like a hawk.
Baiyu would not appreciate.
After a brief exchange, Roxia left in a hurry; to her, the evil Extraordinary believer of the God of Encompassment, who constantly sacrifices humans, was a pressing issue recently.
she hadn’t resolved it.
This matter troubled her, and the disciple seemed quite intelligent, hiding without engaging directly with her, focusing solely on his sacrificial plans.
After bidding farewell to Roxia,
Baiyu returned to his residence in Villiduo and quickly informed Qiong Xue to contact the Qiong Family.
Baiyu felt the affairs of the Security Bureau were of great significance, and he needed to recruit some veterans.
he couldn’t be everywhere at once and handle everything himself.
at present, he had no trusted confidant capable of handling affairs around him.
The only option was to find people from the Ning and Qiong families.
"It’s time to have Cang Yan over,"
Baiyu thought to himself.
This hamster, though unreliable, was extremely useful, making many things more convenient around him.
at the Villiduo Veterans Mutual Aid Association.
The large meeting room was fully occupied.
Most of the attendees were from the Ning and Qiong families. Baiyu had already informed them about his upcoming ennoblement and position as the chief of the Security Bureau.
both families were very pleased with this news.
After all, Baiyu was now considered a pillar for the two families.
The greater Baiyu’s power and higher his standing, the more stable the future development of the two families.
the Qiong family’s title was indeed inherited from Qiong Yue’s generation, with no one able to inherit it further.
This marked the beginning of the Qiong family’s decline.
since Baiyu could inherit the title, they naturally rejoiced.
Especially considering Baiyu was now regarded as a half member of the Qiong family.
After combining with the maiden from the Qiong family, his offspring could once again take up the title.
