Chat group: Taming Kuina, controlling Cynthia

Page 160

In order to integrate into the group chat as soon as possible, she decided to ask for everyone's opinions.

[Group Owner Gu Beichen: Great idea! We haven't organized any group activities yet, why don't we hold a battle competition in Esdeath's world and give out rewards based on performance?]

】

Aizen: That sounds interesting, I'll join.

】

Tony Stark: I'll come too, and collect some specimens of dangerous species while I'm at it.

By the way, I want the Imperial Arm: God's Hand. This thing is perfect for my research.

】

[Yue Buqun: Count me in.]

Aizen, long time no see. What have you been up to lately?

Inize: I just finished an experiment and will rest for a few days.

Do you have a problem with that?

Yue Buqun: I wouldn't dare.

】

[Guina: Finally I can relax! Managing the trading center has been exhausting lately, but now I can finally hand it over to Marco and my father.]

】

If Marco knew what she was thinking, he would be furious—even though he was the one who did the most work.

Whitebeard: Little girl, Marco has complained to me a lot about how lazy you are.

】

Kuina: Hehe, you need to rest sometimes.

】

[Angel Yan: As an angel, I cannot tolerate these evildoers. I am joining.]

】

[Group owner Gu Beichen: Don't refuse, this is a group activity. If you don't want to fight, you can treat it as a trip.]

】

[Yan Ling Ji: I support the group owner!]

Tony Stark: Agreed.

】

Ye Gucheng: No problem.

】

Dugu Qiubai decided to postpone his seclusion and planned to relax for a few days first.

Other people in the group also responded one after another.

Gu Beichen, as the group leader, suggested that everyone meet in three days to allow time for arrangements, and even asked Esdeath if it was convenient for her.

Esdeath readily agreed, saying she would treat everyone well.

The River God excitedly expressed his anticipation for his first trip to another world, while Yue Buqun remained silent.

Three days passed quickly, and the members adjusted their schedules.

At Gu Beichen's call, everyone used the time travel talisman to travel to Esdeath's world.

Even the newly joined river god accumulated enough points to successfully pay the travel expenses.

Esdeath rode back to the capital ahead of time on a dangerous dragon and waited for everyone to arrive in the courtyard of her villa.

She no longer needed to report to the ministers and the young emperor, as these people would soon cease to exist.

As the space fluctuated, portals opened one after another in the courtyard.

Gu Beichen stepped out first and greeted Esdeath with a smile.

Esdeath responded enthusiastically, her gaze lingering on Gu Beichen for a moment longer.

She asked about the specific arrangements, and Gu Beichen simply said that he didn't need a very detailed plan.

Gu Beichen instructed everyone to form teams on their own and distribute rewards according to team rankings.

Intelligence gathering is also part of the competition, and the specific methods are decided by the members themselves.

"This arrangement is great! It gives us a lot of room to maneuver!"

Everyone was satisfied with the plan and quickly began looking for teammates.

Kuina invited a few members she was close to, keeping the number to around five or six.

This ensures both the team's strength and that everyone receives adequate rewards.

The other members understood this principle and began to team up with familiar partners.

"Let's get ready to go! Remember, the palace area is for me and Esdeath."

Gu Beichen gave a final reminder.

"Understood! You're the group admin, I'll listen to you!"

"let's go!"

"See you later!"

The members quickly left the villa and began their operation as fast as they could.

Although there are many villains in the capital, it's first come, first served.

Everyone knows that we must hurry and at the same time pay attention to gathering intelligence, so as not to harm innocent people.

Fortunately, everyone had cultivated the superpower section of the Dao Foundation Technique, possessing mental strength and hypnotic abilities, making it easy to obtain information.

Esdeath and the River God are the only exceptions; they joined too recently to begin training.

However, the River God is very powerful and has already been invited by Yue Buqun to join his team.

"Group owner, what's my turn to do now?"

After everyone else had left, Esdeath asked with a smile.

Her gaze swept over Gu Beichen, a playful look in her eyes.

"Stop looking,"

Gu Beichen said helplessly, "If you're really interested in me, you can just say so. Maybe I'll agree."

He's always the one making fun of others, but today he's the one being teased.

Esdeath chuckled and shook her head: "It's too early to talk about this now. I don't know you well enough yet! Besides, don't you already have a partner? I see there are several in the group."

Gu Beichen raised an eyebrow: "Quite an appetite."

However, with your abilities, you certainly have the right to think that way.

This answer both surprised him and seemed reasonable.

After all, Esdeath was never one to follow the rules.

Thinking of this, he shook his head inwardly, perhaps "special" would be a better word.

That would be a more fitting description for her.

"Let's go to the palace to deal with the young emperor's affairs first, and then deal with the night raid."

If the ministers were still alive, we could deal with them all at once.

Oh, and don't forget General Bud.

As Gu Beichen spoke, he gestured for Esdeath to lead the way.

Bud wasn't a bad person; he was just a stubborn soldier.

As the emperor's uncle, he clearly saw the ministers wreaking havoc on the court, but he refused to intervene because "military personnel should not interfere in politics."

The dogma of standing idly by.

This inaction, to some extent, also makes them traitors to the empire.

... ...... 0

The palace guards bowed to Esdeath, and no one stopped her even though she was accompanied by strangers.

Soon, the two arrived at the council hall where a court assembly was being held.

When the ministers saw Esdeath enter with a handsome young man, they remembered her saying a few days ago that she wanted to fall in love, and they all wore meaningful expressions.

A hint of disappointment flashed in the minister's eyes, but he quickly felt relieved—he had originally planned to personally capture the female general.

Esdeath's beauty and unique charm were indeed captivating, but the minister quickly dismissed this dangerous idea.

He didn't want to get involved with this powerful female general because of matters between men and women; that would be suicide.

As for his good-for-nothing son, Sheila, the ministers directly rejected the idea.

Currently, he and Esdeath have a very good working relationship—he helps her solve problems, and she helps him eliminate political enemies; this mutually beneficial relationship is the most ideal.

What reassured the ministers most was that Esdeath had no interest in power, which meant there was no conflict of interest between them.

But today she suddenly brought a young man with her, which gave the ministers new concerns.

While Esdeath lacks ambition, the same cannot be said for this young man.

"We need to find a way to test the waters; if that doesn't work, we'll deal with it secretly."

The minister secretly plotted, knowing that Esdeath must never know about this.

Just as the minister was scrutinizing Gu Beichen, the other man suddenly turned to him and gave him a meaningful smile.

The minister broke out in a cold sweat, feeling that his thoughts had been completely seen through.

"Such blatant hostility, do they think I'm blind? Looks like this guy's got a death wish."

Gu Beichen sneered inwardly.

The minister exuded such malice that it was impossible not to notice him.

At this moment, the young emperor asked curiously, "General Esdeath, who is this?"

She just said she wanted to date a couple of days ago, and she's already found someone? The little emperor looked Gu Beichen up and down and found that he was not only outstanding in appearance, but also had a very special temperament.

"Your Majesty, as you can see, this is the lover I have found."

Esdeath smiled and glanced at Gu Beichen, then bowed to the young emperor and said...

The minister wolfed down the raw meat slices, his eyes sinister, countless thoughts flashing through his mind.

What does it feel like to be in love? Can you tell me?

The little emperor blinked his innocent eyes and asked.

"Let's talk another day."

Today I have come to ask Your Majesty to abdicate. Are you willing to relinquish the empire to me?

Esdeath looked directly at the young emperor, her tone calm.

"what?"

The little emperor tilted his head in confusion.

"what?!"

The minister's hand trembled, and the piece of meat fell to the ground.
