Ning Yong waved to the soldiers standing nearby and said, "You guys follow him. I won't go over. My head hurts if I look at him any more."

Wang Xing had already achieved his purpose of coming here to find them, so he didn't mind. "Okay, then we'll go first. That rascal Wan Conglun has caused a lot of trouble, so I have to thank you!"

Ning Yong said, "Don't be polite! Everyone has their youthful recklessness. But I must warn you, some of the people in that conference room are not easy to deal with. If you really can't stand it, come to me or Jia Wen."

"Yeah, it seems General Ji's fiancée is here too." Xu Jiawen smiled at Wan Conglun, "You probably know her, right? She seems to be a princess from the royal family. She's quite impressive."

Wan Conglun quickly waved his hands when he heard this. "What fiancée? I haven't heard of such news. It's all rumors, rumors!"

What a joke, what royal family, what princess!

I will protect my brother's reputation!

Xu Jiawen looked at him with a half-smile, and didn't hesitate any longer: "Okay, then you guys go over and take a look first. If you need anything, you can come directly to us."

The two meeting rooms were very close to each other, and it took them less than a minute to go from one door to the other. Wang Xing and Wan Conglun were completely dumbfounded after entering. They finally understood why the two old men smiled meaningfully when they left.

If they can't afford to offend them, can't they just hide away?

The conference room was truly enormous. The silver-gray hall was filled with representatives from the Galactic Federation, interstellar royalty, and the Order of the Nobles. They wore different uniforms and sat in their respective groups, most of them staring solemnly at the wall of screens before them, each controlling a portion of the console.

The three factions should have coexisted harmoniously, but the atmosphere on the scene was anything but. They seemed completely divided, with no communication whatsoever, and no one was willing to submit to the other.

This silent disagreement created an unusual atmosphere, a sense of tension within the otherwise calm atmosphere. The simple, cool decor and cold lighting made the scene seem a bit too quiet.

So Wan Conglun and his friends attracted attention as soon as they entered the door.

"Captain Wang, Xiao Wan, you're here." Qu Jiqing stood up first and greeted them. "I received the notice a long time ago and knew you were coming. I even made room for you in advance!"

Logically, Qu Jiqing didn't need to show favor to a lieutenant general, but Wang Xing's position in this matter was unusual. Not only was he a comrade on the same team as Ji Li, he was also a senior from the same school. And Wan Conglun, as a participant in this incident, was determined to draw him into her own camp.

Wang Xing also strode over and said politely, "General Qu, long time no see. I'm sorry to bother you with my junior brother's matter."

"Where, where!"

Wan Conglun was about to walk over, but the Ji family representative, an old man who looked very gentlemanly, extended his hand to him.

"Xiao Wan, long time no see. You look a lot stronger now!"

"Uncle En, you are here too." Wan Conglun was shocked and quickly stretched out his hand to shake hands.

Li Yishui, the representative of the Li family, was unexpectedly young, with dark brown hair and a tall figure. He looked even more pure in his white suit. He came up to us with a cheerful smile on his face.

"Hello, I am the representative of the Li family this time, and I am also Ji Li's cousin."

"Hello, hello!" Wan Conglun also greeted them. He carefully observed the atmosphere between the two families. So far, it was still very friendly. It was probably because of Ji Li's presence that the surface harmony was still maintained.

The Ji family is a unique branch of the Order of the Nobles. From their inception, they have held vast amounts of energy and mineral resources, and have deep ties with the military. They are also the most mysterious and low-key faction, with little public information about them.

Ji En is the highest-ranking director of the Ji family besides Ji Li. The fact that he came in person this time shows how much importance he attaches to this matter.

Wan Conglun's gaze shifted imperceptibly between the two parties, and he inwardly sighed. The Li family had only sent a young girl as their representative this time. Judging by the Li family emblem on her arm, she must be of high status. In this situation, the Li family seemed to be showing weakness to the Ji family, giving them enough face without being too overbearing.

The military didn't seem like they would make things difficult for the Ji family, and the cause of the disharmony in the meeting room was probably the leader of the royal family.

As soon as Wan Conglun entered, he noticed Ji Li's rumored fiancée, Ye Qingqing. With her beautiful silver hair and the royal gray eyes, she stood out. Furthermore, as the only daughter of a royal queen among her many children, she was naturally the center of attention, surrounded by a large crowd.

Li Yishui saw that Wan Conglun was distracted, and continued softly:

"Your name is Wan Conglun, right? I've heard my uncle talk about you. You and my brother have a very good relationship. We're both from noble families, and you have a deep sympathy for each other. And we all know what happened this time. You were seriously injured for him. You're really amazing."

Wan Conglun laughed dryly. He knew they were trying to win him over to the nobles. He suddenly understood why the Li family had sent her to cooperate with the Ji family.

Everyone here wants to get the first-hand information in their own hands. Li Yishui has an adorable little white flower appearance and a sweet mouth, so most people might be moved to tears when they hear it.

Even if you don't agree, it's hard to refuse.

The same went for Wan Conglun. He didn't have so many tricks up his sleeve and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

At this time, Ye Qingqing pushed away the juice brought by the waiter, and his silver-gray eyes were filled with impatience:

"Brother, how can Ji Li be your brother? You just have the same surname and family background, but your blood relationship is more than ten layers away. I don't know where you get the nerve to call him brother." After saying that, he stood up, slowly lowered his chin, and looked arrogant.

She was fed up with the pretentious woman in front of her, who relied on her status as a special envoy to show off her relationship with Ji Li all the time.

Since entering here, it seems that I will die if I don’t mention Ji Li in every sentence.

Every word the other party said made her feel uncomfortable.

"Your Highness, since when did the affairs of the Li family, even a small title, require outsiders to intervene? Please stop meddling in other people's family affairs."

How could Li Yishui really be a soft persimmon? She said with a smile,

"What's more, according to the elders in my family, my brother would rather choose a military cadet who doesn't even have a rank than you."

Ye Qingqing was hit in the sore spot by her and angrily said, "You..."
