1458 In Three Days
Although Chairman Lee could've scheduled the Demon Sealing Faction's Faction War the next day, he wanted to give everyone a chance to prepare, so he scheduled the match to begin in three days.
After pushing back a month's worth of scheduled Faction Wars, Chairman Lee confirmed the match schedule and called Yuan to notify him of the news.
"Yes, the match will start at noon on the Great Battlefield in three days. I can guide you if you don't know how to get there. If we travel by plane, it's about eight hours away from the Dragon Spiral Mountain."
"Thank you for the offer, but I already have people guiding me there," said Yuan.
"I understand. Then, good night."
After hanging up, Yuan called Meifeng to notify her of the Faction War.
"Yes, the Fiery Locust Swarm has accepted our challenge, and our match is scheduled to begin in three days at noon. Do you know how to get to the Great Battlefield?"
"Yes, I do."
"Then can you bring the others there? I will meet you guys there."
"Of course. We'll see you there."
Yuan hung up the phone, turned to look at Bai Lianhua, and said, "Now that that's settled, let's get some rest tonight and start our training tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll get you a ro—"
Before Bai Lianhua could finish her sentence, Yu Rou stood up and declared, "Brother will sleep with me! My bed is big enough to fit two people comfortably, too!"
Yuan looked at her with a bittersweet smile, "Aren't you an independent adult now?"
"That has nothing to do with us sleeping together like before! You owe me, at the very least, this much for not visiting me sooner!"
Yuan sighed in a defeated voice, "Alright, we can sleep together."
"Goodnight, Senior Sister!"
"Goodnight, Lianhua," Yuan said to her before following Yu Rou to her room.
They quickly lay in bed inside Yu Rou's room but did not immediately go to sleep.
"Brother, what do you think's going to happen to our world?"
"I can't say nothing will happen since we're already past that point, and there will surely be more changes in the future, but I will do my best to protect it from being harmed by foreign or domestic forces."
"I know that you're trying to protect the world, but please take care of yourself. You're much more important to the world for me, and if I had to choose to sacrifice one, I wouldn't hesitate to sacrifice the world if it means keeping you safe." Yu Rou spoke in a low voice.
Yuan smiled, "I will do my best."
They fell asleep shortly after while holding hands.
Early in the morning the following day, Bai Lianhua gathered every member in her faction, which numbered in the thousands, at the training grounds.
Once everyone gathered, Bai Lianhua began speaking, "I'm sure most if not all of you heard this by now—that our opponent, Fiery Locust Swarm, has been challenged by the Demon Sealing Faction. If you're wondering why they would do something like that, you can ask the person who challenged the Fiery Locust Swarm himself, as he will be training with us for the next several days."
