Liu Guanfeng returned to his room, calling in his father Liu Yong'an, Bao Rui, Copper Bull, Cui Zhongyi, and others.
Once everyone had gathered, Liu Guanfeng spoke first: "I called you all here today to discuss something important—our next plan."
"Xiaofeng, what do you have in mind?" Liu Yong'an asked.
"Father, has the Third Prince Sun Liang been brought back yet?"
Liu Yong'an shook his head. "I wanted to go get him myself, but the Four Sacred Beasts said it was still too early, so I gave up on that."
Liu Guanfeng nodded. "The timing is about right now."
"Master."
"In two days, you and my father will go together to bring the Third Prince back to Starfall City."
"Xiaofeng, what if the Third Prince is recognized when we bring him back?"
"Father, your task this time is to see if the Third Prince is a qualified emperor. If he truly can care for the people as his own children, we will support him. If not, we will find another emperor."
"Don't worry about that; I've already sent people to observe and protect the Third Prince. According to the reports from our spies, he should be capable of being a good emperor."
Liu Guanfeng took out a Disguise Pill from his pocket. "Father, after you bring back the Third Prince, just have him apply this Disguise Pill on his face. No one will recognize him then, making it much safer. When you pick him up, it's best to have him switch places with someone else so that he appears as a servant. I believe Sun Yong's informants won't be able to spot any flaws."
Liu Yong'an nodded. "Alright, we'll do as you say."
"Your mission this time is to ensure the Third Prince's safety; you can decide on the personnel and their numbers."
"Understood, Master."
"Bao Rui, how is your Mercenary group doing?"
"The Mercenary Group is operating normally. At the beginning, there were indeed some people causing trouble, but we dealt with them quietly."
"How many people are currently in the Mercenary Group? How many can be trusted?"
"Excluding the soldiers we brought over, there are more than two thousand trustworthy individuals. I should have around five thousand troops available at any time."
"Du Zhenyang, what is the situation on Diaoyu Island?"
"Reporting to you, Master, there are currently over sixty-three thousand troops on Diaoyu Island, with fifty-eight thousand of them trained and ready for battle."
"We need to bring some soldiers this time; around forty thousand will suffice. Your task will be to select these forty thousand for me."
"Understood, Master."
"Platinum Wen, how is the preparation of weapons and armor from the Merchant Guild?"
"Don't worry, Master; the Merchant Guild can equip an army of ten thousand at any time in Starfall City."
Liu Guanfeng smiled slightly, "You really are something; that's a hundred thousand sets of equipment all at once."
"Aren't I just worried about not having enough? So I prepared a bit extra."
"In two days, aside from Xiao and my father going to pick up the Third Prince, everyone else will go with me to Diaoyu Island in three days. We will return to Starfall City from there."
The others went back to prepare their belongings. Liu Guanfeng stepped out of the room for some fresh air. It was already dark outside, but three figures were still wandering in the courtyard, chatting and laughing.
As Liu Guanfeng approached, he realized it was Li Xiaohan, Zhang Yuru, and Wang Jiao. The three girls were engaged in lively conversation.
Seeing Zhang Yuru and Li Xiaohan become good friends so quickly eased Liu Guanfeng's worries.
When the three girls noticed Liu Guanfeng walking over, they immediately composed themselves into a more ladylike demeanor. Li Xiaohan and Zhang Yuru approached Liu Guanfeng, each taking one of his arms. Li Xiaohan asked first, "Are you leaving again?"
Hearing Li Xiaohan's question, Zhang Yuru was also taken aback and looked up at Liu Guanfeng. Liu Guanfeng nodded, "I haven't avenged my grudge yet; I'm going to seek revenge this time."
"Can you take us with you?" Zhang Yuru looked at Liu Guanfeng with eager eyes.
Liu Guanfeng shook his head, "No, we're going to fight, not to play."
"Who said we're going to play? I've fought before. Wasn't I the Big Leader back on Luo Heng Island?"
Liu Guanfeng looked at Li Xiaohan and Zhang Yuru, both girls' eyes filled with desire. Li Xiaohan, who originally couldn't practice martial arts, had become an Advanced Knight with the help of the Four Sacred Beasts, so she was fully capable of self-defense now.
"In two days, I'll have my father pick up the Third Prince, and the rest of us will leave the Four Sacred Valleys one after another. If you want to come along then, who will be left on the Four Sacred Islands?"
"That would just be Auntie alone." Li Xiaohan lowered her head like a child caught in a mistake. Then she softly said, "Then I won't go; I'll stay on the Four Sacred Islands with Auntie."
At this moment, Zhang Yuru also understood the situation and followed suit, saying, "Then you have to be extra careful. I'll stay here with Sister Li to keep Auntie company."
Liu Guanfeng smiled; with two sensible companions like them, what more could he ask for? "You two can rest assured; once things stabilize over there, I'll come back to bring you both over. Otherwise, I'm afraid someone might come to harm you."
"Go ahead and don't worry; we will ensure Auntie's safety."
Liu Guanfeng patted the heads of the two girls: "With both of you here, I feel at ease."
"Oh, how sweet! It's so nauseating that it makes me jealous. I won't bother with you two lovebirds anymore; I'm off to find my own special someone," Wang Jiao said, not wanting to be a third wheel any longer. With that, she skipped away.
Liu Guanfeng took the children to a clean spot and sat down. The three of them gazed at the moon and chatted about things only they could understand until late into the night.
Two days later in the morning, Liu Yong'an led his twenty assassins from One-Pin Hall away from the Four Sacred Islands.
When they returned to the Four Sacred Valleys, Liu Guanfeng was called into a room by his mother, Nangong Rong.
Once inside the room, Nangong Rong turned and asked Liu Guanfeng, "Have you made up your mind?"
"What are you thinking?" Liu Guanfeng was puzzled by Nangong Rong's words.
"With two beautiful girls by your side, when do you plan to bring them home? I'm still waiting for grandchildren! I originally hoped your older brother and Second Brother would take care of this, but they have been stuck on Diaoyu Island and haven't come back. They don't even go out to find girlfriends. It would be faster to wait for you, who already has options."
Liu Guanfeng scratched his head. "Mother, let's wait until I avenge my grievances first."
"How long will that take? You need to give me a definite answer."
"I estimate it will be about a year or two. Don't worry, Mother. As soon as I settle the score, I will definitely bring both of them home in style. Then I can give you a few chubby grandchildren; that should be good enough."
At this moment, Nangong Rong gently stroked Liu Guanfeng's head. "Child, I know you are someone who accomplishes great things. It has been too hard for you to drift alone these years; I just want you to settle down sooner."
"Mother, I understand. Don't worry; I will end all of this as soon as possible."
Nangong Rong nodded. "I believe in you. Go now; they are still waiting for you outside."
"Mother, I'm going out now." Liu Guanfeng turned and left the room.
When Liu Guanfeng returned to his room, he saw Zhang Yuru and Li Xiaohan packing his luggage. All of Liu Guanfeng's clothes were being taken care of by the two women, and they wouldn't even let him make the bed or fold the blankets.
Soon it was time for Liu Guanfeng to leave. Accompanied by his mother Nangong Rong and the two women, Li Xiaohan and Zhang Yuru, he arrived at the beach and boarded the ship. Liu Guanfeng stood on the boat and waved goodbye to his mother on the shore.
The ship slowly departed from the Four Sacred Islands. Since Liu Guanfeng had already informed the Four Leaders of the Four Sacred Mountains, he felt at ease about this departure.
After several days of smooth sailing, a small island appeared before everyone. The people on the island noticed the arrival of the ship. When those onshore recognized who was on board, a thunderous sound of drums echoed across the island.
Immediately, Liu Guanfeng saw heads gathering from all over the island. Before long, a large number of soldiers assembled on the island, all dressed neatly with gleaming weapons in hand.
Most people on Diaoyu Island had never seen Liu Guanfeng before, but they were very familiar with his name. On their first day on the island, they had been told that there was only one master of this island: Liu Guanfeng.
Moreover, some people exaggeratedly described Liu Guanfeng as if he were a deity descending from heaven. Therefore, these new recruits began to yearn to see Liu Guanfeng in person. When they suddenly learned that Liu Guanfeng was about to land on the island today, their curiosity peaked, and everyone quickly lined up to welcome him with great enthusiasm.
Seeing the performance of the soldiers on the island, Liu Guanfeng was quite satisfied. At this moment, standing at the front of the line to welcome them were Liu Guanfeng's two older brothers. Since their arrival on Diaoyu Island, they had seen the soldiers here and decided to live alongside them, hoping to achieve breakthroughs themselves.
After the two brothers came to the island, they considered themselves ordinary soldiers, eating, training, and sleeping with the other soldiers every day. With the special care from the Four Sacred Beasts, both brothers had now been promoted to Advanced Knights.
Currently, Du Zhenyang, Liu Guanlei, and Liu Guanyu were in charge of Diaoyu Island. The daily training was entirely planned after discussions among the three of them.
Before the boat had even docked, Liu Guanfeng jumped forcefully from the ship onto the beach. His leap covered more than ten meters. The new recruits who initially thought those soldiers were bragging began to believe their earlier claims after witnessing Liu Guanfeng's impressive jump. It seemed that Liu Guanfeng was indeed remarkable, effortlessly leaping over ten meters.
While the soldiers were still immersed in Liu Guanfeng's recent jump, he quickly ran a few steps to his brothers and said, "Eldest Brother, Second Brother, I'm back."
"Third Brother, you finally returned." The three brothers embraced each other.
"Third Brother, do you have any plans now that you're back?"
Liu Guanfeng nodded. "Eldest Brother, Second Brother, this isn't a place for discussion; let's go inside."
"Alright, let's go inside." After saying this, Liu Guanlei led Liu Guanfeng and the others to the Marshal's Tent on the island.
Since Liu Guanfeng left Diaoyu Island, no one had occupied the main seat in the Marshal's Tent. Even when Liu Yong'an discussed matters inside, he merely moved a chair next to the main seat; in everyone's minds, that position belonged to Liu Guanfeng.
Liu Guanfeng strode confidently to his rightful seat and sat down while others took their places. "Eldest Brother, Second Brother, you've been on this island for quite some time now. You haven't forgotten what happened back then, have you?"
