He's a minor cannon fodder character who transmigrates into a novel and cultivates immortality,

Xiao Xuan noticed the moment the grass left Liuyun Star.

Sensing that the little grass had voluntarily followed Marshal Colin away, he let it go without interfering.

Not long after Marshal Colin left, Holland also received a distress call from the Crimson Flame Empire.

The person on the other end of the communication was not Crown Prince Rhys Calandi, His Majesty Rhys Landor, or one of the three marshals.

Instead, it was Sally, Dr. Derian's student.

Sally is an A-level guide and Dr. Derian's most valued disciple.

"What is it?" Holland asked Sally on the other end of the video call, his expression unchanged.

Sally, however, seemed momentarily dazed when she saw the resolute and handsome Holland.

She pursued this man for decades, until Holland returned wounded.

She thought the other person would never wake up again, so she chose Li Qiushu, who had been pursuing her for many years.

She now has a son and a daughter.

"What is it?" Holland asked again, his voice as calm as ever.

Sally gave a bitter smile. "General Huo, when did we become so estranged?"

Before Holland could answer, Sally continued, "The reason I contacted the general this time is about my master."

"Dr. Derian?" Holland's question carried a hint of emotion.

A flicker of struggle crossed Sally's eyes, but she nodded. "Yes."

Holland: "What happened to the Doctor?"

Sally: "I wonder if General Huo is aware that countless Sentinels have been infected by the 'curse' potion, and the Empire is in chaos."

"When Master was examining Prince Rhys Kalandi, he was also infected with the 'curse' and is now in a coma."

"General Huo, would you be willing to return to the capital for a visit?"

As she spoke, Sally lowered her head, avoiding Holland's gaze.

What Sally didn't say was that Dr. Derian had repeatedly emphasized before falling into a coma that Sally was not allowed to bother Holland because of his affairs.

Derian’s original words were: “The Huo family owes nothing to the Empire, and Lant owes nothing to anyone. On the contrary, the Empire and the people owe the Huo family and Lant a great deal.”

"Since Lant has been forced to leave the Empire, let's not disturb his life any further."

Sally was already somewhat hesitant, and the persuasion from the royal family and the three marshals made her even more swayed.

After learning that her husband and son's mental seas had been corrupted by the 'curse' drug, she cast aside her last shred of hesitation and decisively dialed General Holland's quantum communication.

"Okay." Holland agreed without asking any further questions.

The other side of the communication

His Majesty Rhys Landor and Marshal Li both breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that Holland had agreed.

Although they never believed Holland could solve the problem of the 'curse' potion.

However, with Hollande around, at least they can deter other forces that want to take the opportunity to attack the Crimson Flame Empire.

Holland, who had just ended the call, found Xiao Xuan lying on a deck chair by the lake, sunbathing.

Hearing the regular and powerful footsteps, Xiao Xuan easily identified who was coming.

"Lant, you've arrived." Xiao Xuan sat up and looked at Holland with a smile.

Seeing Xiao Xuan's smiling face, Hollande couldn't help but feel a pang of reluctance.

"Xiao Xuan, I have to leave Liuyun Star for a while." After a moment of silence, Holland explained his purpose.

Xiao Xuan nodded. "Okay."

Holland had no intention of taking Xiao Xuan along, and did not want Xiao Xuan to be in danger.

Xiao Xuan knew perfectly well what was going on and watched Hollande board the departing starship.
