Chapter 293 Paying Homage to My Lord
Bai Xiao sent someone to deliver the wings to her command room in the third district. The Lion Tiger Team and the Snake Lizard Team also went back to think about what kind of meaningful gift to prepare, which the healer could not refuse.
Only Omia and the orcs from the aquatic team were left to stay until the very end.
"I'm sorry, the captain still needs more people. I wish you a safe journey, Healer." Omia said.
Sang Qing naturally understood. She had already heard that the situation in the Duke of Heman's mansion had changed dramatically in just a few days. The ailing Duke of Heman had passed away, and the power within the mansion had been overthrown.
Manju's methods were as ruthless and decisive as ever.
"This is a gift from the captain to congratulate you on becoming a commander." Omia smiled and handed over a box.
With the Flying Birds team leading the way, Sang Qing reached out and took it.
Upon opening the box and seeing the square token inside, I was momentarily stunned.
Then he handed it back, saying, "Why are you giving me the naval domain command from Duke Heman's mansion?"
Omia took a step back and did not accept the offer. "The situation is unclear now. Perhaps the healer can use the right of entry into Los Angeles."
Los Angeles...
Sang Qing's eyes darkened slightly.
Seeing Sang Qing remain silent, Omia glanced at the domain token in Sang Qing's hand, her eyes flashing, "I'm only responsible for delivering the item to you. If you want to return it to the captain, you should go do it yourself."
Sang Qing rubbed the token between his fingertips, and finally replied in a deep voice, "Okay."
Omia smiled, put one hand in his pocket, raised the other and waved, then left with the aquatic team.
Sang Qing put the token back into the box and closed the lid.
She decided to accept this generous gift for the time being; she really needed it.
Back at Wutongyue, Sang Qing looked down at the message Jiang Zhiyi had sent and was about to reply when a video call came in.
Sang Qing pressed the call button.
Jiang Zhiyi's soft voice came over, "Qingqing... I'm sorry."
Sang Qing knew that Jiang Zhiyi was referring to the Marquis of Huainan's neutrality, and shook her head indifferently: "It's nothing."
She knew that Jiang Zhiyi was not just an individual; she had the entire Marquis of Huainan behind her.
The interests among nobles are intricately intertwined, making it a complex matter.
So Sang Qing thought it was normal and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
What's more, Jun Xinyue is also among them.
Compared to her, Jiang Zhiyi and Jun Xinyue have known each other for a longer time.
Jiang Zhiyi was relieved to see through the video that Sang Qing really didn't mind.
After those two sentences, neither of them spoke for a while.
The atmosphere fell into an unusual silence. Jiang Zhiyi offered a few words of congratulations, looked at Sang Qing for a long while, and finally asked, "Qingqing, why are you unwilling to accept other males?" Her people had sent word from the palace that when Shi Ying was being punished at the entrance of the Golden Palace, he personally admitted, "If my wife is willing, I can abdicate. If she is not willing, I will not back down even a step. No one can force her."
She doesn't understand.
Sang Qing's gaze pierced through the screen, looking at Jiang Zhiyi on the other side, and said calmly, "There's no reason why, this is just my personal choice."
Kindness is a choice, being single is a choice, and wanting only one male is also a choice.
There's no reason why, it's just what she wanted to do.
In this world, there are far fewer females than males, and it is very common for females to have multiple beast husbands. No one would refuse to have a beast husband and the support he provides, but that is not a reason for them to do such a thing.
Jiang Zhiyi saw Sang Qing's obsession with certain things in Sang Qing's eyes and sighed.
A sigh encompassed too many complex emotions, and Sang Qing didn't really want to delve into it.
After hanging up the phone, Sang Qing took out her own domain token. The two crystal tokens, made of the same material but different in shape, lay quietly in her hand.
After a moment, Sang Qing looked up, her gaze drifting towards the sky, and softly parted her lips, "Cang Yun, what about you? Will you leave or stay with me?"
When she woke up in the hospital, she knew that Cangyun had been by her side all along.
A deep blue figure appeared before Sang Qing. Sang Qing looked at him, her gaze as light as ever, yet now carrying a serious expression.
She didn't want Cangyun to follow her before because she felt it was unnecessary, but now...
To be honest, she never imagined things would come to this.
Cangyun's restrained and calm gaze fell on Sang Qing's cold and snow-white face. He once again performed the special salute, kneeling down on one knee, "Greetings, my lord."
From this moment on, the two sides officially established a true creed of loyalty; before that, it was all Cangyun's one-sided protection.
"Where did you go during the time you left? The Lan family?" Sang Qing raised her hand and tilted her head slightly.
Cang Yun stood up and lowered his eyes. "No, I became a mercenary."
His heart was no longer pure, so he could no longer return to the Lan family or serve as a royal bodyguard. Therefore, he chose to become a free mercenary.
Sang Qing nodded and handed the token from Qingye Town to Cang Yun, "Keep an eye on the Second Princess and the Imperial Palace for me. Kunxi can cooperate with you."
“If given the chance…” Sang Qing paused, her eyes turning slightly cold, “kill the Second Princess.”
Sang Qing observed Cang Yun's expression. Cang Yun lowered his head slightly, showing no surprise or resistance, only absolute obedience ingrained in his blood.
The response was flat yet firm: "Yes."
Sang Qing had deep doubts about the education methods of the Canglan clan. She suspected that if she asked Cang Yun to assassinate the empress, he would agree without hesitation.
With a slight frown, Sang Qing emphasized, "Do your best, but don't force it. Prioritize your own safety."
Cangyun seemed to pause for a moment, looked up at Sang Qing, and replied succinctly again, "Yes."
