Chapter 1027: Chapter 1020: The Strategy of Moving the Village

Feron was bent over his desk, weeping bitterly, his cries heart-wrenching. Luo’er watched him silently, took a deep breath, and then left his place, walking toward the door.

He opened the door and saw Baiyue standing outside, looking at her helplessly. Her eyes had been blurred by tears, and two tear tracks slid down her round cheeks, glistening brightly.

"Luo, Luo’er..." Baiyue called out to Luo’er in a sobbing voice, her eyes red, clearly having cried for a long time.

"Go inside, I have already spoken on your behalf; you can go straight in without saying a word. The chief will understand," Luo’er said, stroking her head and smiling.

"I, I..." Baiyue seemed to hesitate.

"Go on, you have to face this alone. Not everything can be decided for you," Luo’er comforted her.

"I..." Baiyue looked inside the house, then turned to look at Luo’er again, still somewhat hesitant.

Luo’er smiled, then gently pulled her into his arms and gave her a big hug. Feeling Luo’er’s heartbeat so close, Baiyue felt a surge of warmth in her body, and her anxious mood gradually eased.

"Well, I’ll go in then..." Letting go of Luo’er, Baiyue finally gathered her courage and looked up at him as she spoke.

"Go ahead, congratulations on finding your family," Luo’er said, smiling and nodding, then grabbed Baiyue’s shoulders and gently pushed her inside.

Baiyue was pushed inside, looking back step by step. To ensure she could make a clean break, Luo’er smiled and closed the door behind her.

After closing the door, Luo’er turned and slowly walked toward the village square. He hadn’t gone far when he heard a heart-wrenching cry coming from the house. Hearing this, he sighed softly and left without looking back.

Arriving at the village square, it was still bustling, mostly with women, as most men were still on guard duty. The Sub-beastmen villagers of the Rabbit Ear tribe danced around the bonfire. The square was filled with laughter and noise, with Axia, Talis, and others gathered, marveling at the villagers and frequently sighing in surprise.

Unlike the Rabbit Ear tribe villagers outside, those in the village almost never hid their long, fluffy rabbit ears; whenever they jumped, those ears would swing back and forth, looking quite delightful.

And only now did they realize that Baiyue was actually a Rabbit Ear Sub-beastmen. She had always worn a hat before, so outsiders couldn’t see. Not just outsiders—even Feng, who had been with the Advance Team for nearly a year, had only seen her ears a few times.

Luo’er walked to the edge of the bonfire, where he saw Cheng Ziang leaning against the wall, holding a wine glass and watching the dance around the fire. Following his gaze, Luo’er saw Hu Daoke had somehow integrated himself with the villagers, dancing hand in hand with them, albeit appearing somewhat comical.

"Aren’t you going to join the dance?" Luo’er asked, stepping closer.

"Do you think I am that childish?" Cheng Ziang glanced at Luo’er and shrugged.

Luo’er didn’t respond but walked over and crossed his arms, watching the dance beside the fire. Cheng Ziang stared at him, coughed, and then asked, "How is Yue’er doing?"

"They recognized each other. What else could have happened?" Luo’er shrugged and said with a smile.

"Ah, feels like you’ve done something good again," Cheng Ziang shook his head, looking at him teasingly.

Luo’er ignored his taunt and sighed deeply, then said without turning his head, "Now that Yue’er and the chief have recognized each other, this village has become very significant to us. The village is still facing threats from the Beastman Race, and I’m thinking about relocating it near Lipei, but..."

"But if you ask headquarters in a personal capacity, that would go against your principles. You are planning on entering politics, so you cannot afford to leave yourself open to criticism on such issues," Cheng Ziang added, almost telepathically.

"Exactly, so I am also quite troubled," Luo’er nodded lightly.

"Then find the value in this village!" Cheng Ziang said, jumping off the wall and stepping beside Luo’er.

"Regarding the other continent, what are your thoughts?" Luo’er asked, furrowing his brow.

"I think we first need to discuss, taking into account all the information we have, and then go ask these villagers, especially respected people like Chief Feron, as elders, they must know some secrets that the younger folks don’t," Feng said.

"Hmm, that makes sense, let’s do as you suggested," Luo’er nodded in agreement.

"So, you came to me just to have me give you advice, why don’t you think of something yourself?" Cheng Ziang squinted at him and asked.

"Aren’t you my strategist?" Luo’er looked at him and asked with a smile.

Seeing his smiling expression, Cheng Ziang was stunned for a moment and then laughed, shaking his head, "Standing before you now is the future king of Odelanqi, the heir to the Fiolonte Family, the son and disciple of the first sword saint of the Continent, and you talk to me like this?"

Facing Cheng Ziang’s words, Luo’er didn’t speak but continued smiling at him, eventually lowering his head and chuckling softly.

"What’s so funny, can’t you be less serious sometimes!" Seeing Luo’er’s behavior, Cheng Ziang felt embarrassed and pushed him hard while saying this with an awkward expression.

"The first time I met you, I always felt that you were more serious than me," Luo’er stopped laughing and turned back to look at him as he spoke.

"Ah," Cheng Ziang sighed softly, then smiled and shook his head, "People change, but elves don’t."

"Aren’t you a descendant of the Elf Race?" Luo’er asked.

"Who knows, I don’t really feel it," Cheng Ziang shrugged and looked down at his palms.

"If, if you are also mixed with Elf Race, then you and Luoya, I have no objections," Luo’er said earnestly.

Hearing his words, Cheng Ziang visibly shuddered, then widened his eyes at Luo’er, stunned for a long while before turning his head and saying, "Why are you meddling in our affairs, nothing’s even started between her and me, what are you talking about..."

"I’m serious," Luo’er said, "We’ve been together for so long, I know your character the best, I’m very comfortable handing Luoya over to you, you’d definitely be a good man and wouldn’t let her suffer.

"If you think I’m that good, why don’t you marry me?" Cheng Ziang retorted.

Hearing his words, Luo’er was clearly stunned for a long while before finally managing a wry smile and saying, "Can you guys have a sensible conversation, must you aggravate me to death..."

"Who told you to worry about nothing," Cheng Ziang said.

"Fine, I won’t meddle anymore," Luo’er sighed and then said seriously, "So, tomorrow we’ll ask and see if the chief knows anything about the other Continent, and if he does, we’ll report this situation to headquarters and apply for Meila Village to relocate to Lipei."

"You still need to seek the villagers’ consent," Cheng Ziang added.

"Yes, indeed," Luo’er nodded and then said, "Let’s do this, tomorrow we’ll have Yue’er try to persuade the chief, being a highly respected elder, as long as he agrees, I feel we’d be halfway there."

"Be careful with this matter, Luo’er," Cheng Ziang cautioned, "Since you are planning to enter politics, don’t pour too much personal emotion into these kinds of issues, people can see through that. If someone uses this against you, your future path will be difficult."

"Yes, I know, thanks for the reminder," Luo’er nodded and said.

"Don’t mention it, considering you have played matchmaker for me, I don’t mind helping you out," Cheng Ziang shrugged and said while taking a drink.

"What matchmaker, didn’t you say you wanted to marry me?" Luo’er blinked and asked.

"Pfft..." Hearing Luo’er’s words, Cheng Ziang couldn’t help spitting out a mouthful of old wine, then stared at him with widened eyes. After a long moment, he reluctantly shook his head and burst into a wry smile.

"You, you’re always serious when everyone else is joking, and now that everyone’s serious, you start joking," Cheng Ziang said with a wry smile, wiping the wine from his lips.
