NOVPUBOn the warship, many disciples of the Wanxiang Sect bustled around, causing Zhao Wei, at Lin Qian’s side, to feel deeply moved.
Despite two years having passed, the Human Clan of Origin State, when compared to the disciples of the Wanxiang Sect onboard the warship, indeed possessed a different air about them.
It was a confidence that stemmed from the depths of their souls. They hadn’t endured such brutal events and had never doubted their own race.
Fortunately, due to Lin Qian’s arrival, the Human Clan of Origin State was developing in a positive direction, and before long, they would truly be transformed.
When Lin Qian returned to the warship, there was hardly any commotion. Moreover, the other Wanxiang Sect disciples seemed very busy and didn’t even notice him and Zhao Wei.
Only a few people, upon seeing Lin Qian, revealed looks of astonishment.
"Hush..." Every time this happened, Lin Qian would raise his index finger to his lips, signaling them not to make a fuss and to continue with their own business.
Before long, Lin Qian made his way directly toward the direction of the cabin because he had heard that Ye Xin was there.
"If we add a revolving mechanism, the effect will increase by at least ten percent, but then stability becomes an issue. If we find a compatible small array, everything will fall into place."
"Once Little Qian is back, we’ll just have him decide whether to trade or not."
Lin Qian hadn’t even entered the cabin yet when he heard Ye Xin’s voice. He walked down with a smile on his face, "What matter requires my return for a decision?"
Inside the cabin, the figure dressed in a starlight white dress stiffened, then slowly turned around.
Lin Qian looked at Ye Xin, whom he hadn’t seen for two years, and a trace of admiration appeared in his eyes. The youthful air had completely faded from her, and she had matured into a poised beauty that one couldn’t take their eyes off.
Not only that, but she seemed less vulnerable and more imposing, which made her even more captivating.
"Little Qian!" When Ye Xin saw Lin Qian appear, her eyes brimmed with tears, and she rushed excitedly towards him.
Embracing Ye Xin in his arms, Lin Qian gently inhaled the fresh scent of her hair, "In the two years we’ve been apart, Xinxin has become even more beautiful."
With her cheeks blushing, Ye Xin then lifted her head, her brows lightly furrowed as she chided, "What exactly happened in that small world, that you were out of touch for so long?"
Upon hearing Ye Xin’s questioning, Lin Qian hurriedly began to explain, detailing the events one by one.
"Origin State? So are you saying that the small world is now Little Qian’s for the taking?" After listening to Lin Qian’s explanation, Ye Xin was full of amazement.
According to Lin Qian’s description, the small world, which he named, had already been completely covered and controlled by the Huaxia Empire’s array.
Without Lin Qian’s consent, the small world could be isolated, preventing others from entering.
Moreover, the entire small world had been refined with the aid of the array. Should any enemies enter, they could be bombarded with the world’s power.
A small world, rivaling the size of the Coastal State, had entirely become Lin Qian’s domain to command, a concept that Ye Xin found hard to imagine.
But recalling the wonders of the Huaxia Empire as described by Lin Qian, Ye Xin wasn’t so surprised after all.
The only thing that Ye Xin couldn’t understand was that Lin Qian was the Emperor of the so-called Huaxia Empire, and this empire seemed very strong.
But what method exactly did Lin Qian use to bring the people of that empire to his side out of thin air?
Through the tactical mirror in the command room of the battleship, Ye Xin was able to understand that the opposing Huaxia Empire seemed very prosperous and powerful.
Of course, with Ye Xin’s current level of experience, she could never imagine just how strong Lin Qian’s Huaxia Empire was.
"Little Qian, is Prime Minister Zhuge Ming planning to turn the entire Coastal State into another Origin State?" Just at that moment, Ye Xin suddenly asked.
Lin Qian’s expression froze, looking at Ye Xin in surprise, "Xinxin, how did you know?"
"It’s very simple. There are a hundred thousand Sky Breaking Realm soldiers within the battleship, who are not the least bit weaker in a head-on confrontation, yet they choose to avoid battle. This action must be part of some plan, and that’s the first point."
"Deliberately allowing a battleship to self-destruct to crush the enemy, it’s clear that we are showing weakness to the enemy, making them think we are in a desperate situation with no way out but to use such extreme methods to resist. Whoever does that is likely to counter-attack fiercely afterward, and that’s the second point."
"In doing so, the Shengtian Sect, feeling victorious after driving away the Wanxiang Sect, will definitely start targeting other powers. Once their conflicts erupt, we can commence the counter-attack mentioned in the second point. The result will be the realization of the first point’s plan: to take over Coastal State."
Watching Ye Xin speak confidently, Lin Qian nodded blankly, "Xinxin, what you said is absolutely correct, and that is indeed Zhuge Ming’s plan."
Following that, Lin Qian recounted everything Zhuge Ming said to Ye Xin. 𝔫𝖔𝔳𝔭𝔲𝔟.𝖈𝔬𝔪
After listening, Ye Xin smiled and nodded, "Indeed, it’s Prime Minister Zhuge’s style. In these two years, I have come to understand him. He always factors in your interests, Little Qian."
"Hm?" Lin Qian also noticed something, very curious, "Speaking of which, it’s strange. Xinxin, what you mentioned earlier about improving efficiency and stability, what was that about? It seems, through the tactical mirror, you’ve learned a lot from Prime Minister Zhuge?"
"That’s what I’ve been researching, whether the production technique of Cloud Boats and the battleships can complement each other and whether they can enhance each other. In these two years, Prime Minister Zhuge has also been my teacher, teaching me many things." Ye Xin mentioned Zhuge Ming with a tone of great respect.
"Oh?" Hearing that Ye Xin was learning from Zhuge Ming, Lin Qian showed a look of surprise.
"That’s natural. Little Ye, this girl, is much better than you, you smelly brat." Just at that moment, a familiar voice came from behind Lin Qian. Turning his head, he found it to be none other than Wei Wushuang.
Looking at Lin Qian, who was staring blankly, Wei Wushuang said teasingly, "You, this kid, besides cultivation, everything else you do is brilliant failure—alchemy explosion, artifact refining explosion, array setting explosion, talisman drawing explosion. Basically, aside from cultivation, whenever you do something, it explodes."
"But Little Ye, this girl, is different. Her alchemy, artifact refining, array, and even her ability to take captives are all exceptionally talented, which impresses even your Prime Minister."
Hearing his teacher’s words, Lin Qian was very surprised because he was the Emperor of the Huaxia Empire, and Zhuge Ming blindly worshipped him with fanatical devotion and heeded his counsel.
However, for others, Zhuge Ming has always been very proud, due to his wisdom.
In the previous life’s game, regarding wise military commanders, Zhuge Ming ranked first on the leaderboard, capable of anything.
The fact that Zhuge Ming praised her without cease showed that Ye Xin’s talents in this area were at least as strong as his own.
"Could it be that Xinxin is also an all-around genius?" Lin Qian pondered, reaching out to the Huaxia Empire’s Zhuge Ming.
However, the answer he got from Zhuge Ming turned out to be beyond his expectations.
