Chapter 599

After settling the minute details of the expedition with Lei w.a.n.g, the squad leaders went back to their own dwellings .

<hr>

Lei w.a.n.g had important duties to perform . He needs to talk with the Board . This Beast King incident should not be delayed . The unity between the various powers sitting at the Board is required to fight against the Beast King . They need to resolve this crisis before the Beast King recovers from his wounds .

This was the best-case-scenario . They had to prepare for the worst as well . It’s up to the Board as to how to proceed with this matter .

Sylph, Fei Fei, Bing Ling, and Bis.h.i.+ parted while they went back to their own tents . They looked normal except for Sylph who had a very anxious gait for some reason .

There is a crystal ball inside her tent . She used that crystal for communication purposes . Bing Ling and Bis.h.i.+ also had the same type of crystal ball inside their own tents . Fei Fei didn’t need one because she can just report her findings directly to Lei w.a.n.g .

The crystal ball can be very tedious to operate . They couldn’t lug it around like it’s a trinket or something . If they could bring it with them then they wouldn’t have to worry about sorting information or writing reports and logs . They can just report with constant check-ins .

Sylph approached the crystal ball and she injected her mana into the installation .

The crystal ball started s.h.i.+ning and it proceeded to turn transparent . The crystal ball emitted a projection . Soon, a figure with a crown on his head appeared . He looked very majestic, a middle-aged man at the prime of his life .

“Royal Father…”

Sylph bowed respectfully .

It’s Sylph’s father, the reigning emperor of the Ailu Empire .

“Sylph…”

The emperor gave a very loving gaze . The emperor isn’t behaving like a proper ruler, he looked like a doting parent right now .

Indeed, Sylph is the emperor’s most beloved descendant . She’s also the one with the best looks and talent among his descendants . She’s only twenty-years-old and she’s already a tier 8 cultivator .

From his vantage point as the emperor and father, Sylph is totally lovable . She is worth the investment .

“I have already received news about your achievements in the Giant Beasts Forest . Nonetheless, it is better to see with my own eyes than to hear it from someone else . I am glad you returned without issues . ”

<hr>

The empire beamed at her .

Sylph’s indifferent look also mellowed out . She would only appear like this in front of her father, the one who showered her with the most affection .

Sylph suddenly remembered something and she interjected .

“Yes, royal father, I had to report to Master Lei w.a.n.g and I had to deal with a lot of smaller affairs so I couldn’t report in time…”

If she was heard by anyone else, they would surely be surprised . n.o.body has ever heard Sylph talking at length .

“Silly child, I already told you to drop the formalities when we are talking privately, didn’t I?…”

The emperor is practically showing too much favorable bias for his daughter .

Sylph knew about this but she only replied with a perfunctory “Yes” . The emperor let her slide, he loved her too much to create a big fuss over something like this .

“Yes, Lei w.a.n.g told me what happened…”

He sounded grim but she can hear the relief in his words .

“Luckily, Yukari-sama saved you . I don’t want to imagine what would have happened if she didn’t appear…”

The Ailu Emperor looked truly fearful of his own imagination .

He was the one who insisted that Sylph should head the expedition into the Giant Beasts Forest . He wanted to show off his capable daughter to the rest of the world . She’s young but she’s a tier 8 as well so with her talent, trump cards, and Gold Armament, she should have been able to return with her life regardless of what happened in the Giant Beasts Forest .

They didn’t think Sylph would actually be directly confronted by something like the Beast King himself . He is still spooked right now .

“Royal father…”

She looked at the projection of her father .

“I discovered another thing on my trip this time…”

“Oh?”

The emperor didn’t expect this…

“Let me hear this matter, to think you put it at a higher priority than the expedition trip itself…”

Sylph stopped for a bit . It looked like she’s trying to phrase and rephrase the idea inside her head .
