Han Jijyun glanced at him and warned him, “Don't interfere in this. Remember what boss said.”

Xie Yi raised his hand and replied, “I know. I will not interfere in other people's business.” How could he forget what his boss told him before he left? He didn't want to get punished by his boss.

“However, our regiment commander is not being very friendly. He is always trying to chase us away.” Xie Yi pointed at Zheng Qiyun's back view on the screen.

“He is a smart person. He didn't suppress us but chose to find another mecha clan for us to be stationed at, under the disguise that he wanted to help us…” Even though he knew that Zheng Qiyun had his own motives, he couldn't hate him. He was just a little unhappy. Han Jijyun wanted to create a place that belonged to Lingtian in 250 Mecha Clan. After what Zheng Qiyun did, their two months worth of effort went to waste. He knew that it might be better for them to leave this mecha clan but he still felt irritated.

“He should have at least asked us for our opinions.” Xie Yi didn't like Zheng Qiyun at all.

“He is our regiment commander. He has the right to decide for us.” Han Jijyun narrowed his eyes. This open plot was impressive. Even if the higher-ups realized something, they would just think that Zheng Qiyun was a good regiment commander who didn't want to waste the recruits' talent. Whether this plan succeeded or failed, it would still benefit him. If it succeeded, Lingtian would be out of his sights. If he failed, he would leave a good impression. It would make his job easier in the future.

“I don't believe that you aren't going to retaliate.” Xie Yi looked at Han Jijyun. He knew his boss pa.s.sed some orders to Han Jijyun before he left.

Han Jijyun looked at Xie Yi. Xie Yi was staring at him with antic.i.p.ation. He couldn't help but reply, “Open plot!”

“What do you mean?” Xie Yi felt depressed. Why must he act so mysterious? Is he looking down on his intelligence?

“Since he uses an open plot against us, I will use an open plot too.” Han Jijyun had his own principles. Since Zheng Qiyun didn't secretly scheme against them, he would not use any treacherous methods against him. He would let the higher-ups see the regiment commander's true capabilities and make him lose his good impression.

Xie Yi was not a stupid person. He thought for a moment and understood what Han Jijyun wanted to do. He felt a little worried and asked, “Will it work?” This plan depended on the higher-ups. If they didn't want to do anything to 250 Mecha Clan, it would fail.

Han Jijyun knocked the handle of his chair and coldly said, “There is only a 50% chance. But…”

There must be something going on behind the scenes when their boss was sent here. The only reason would be that General Ling Xiao wanted to do things with 250 Mecha Clan. This was why Han Jijyun made such a bold plan. Since the general wanted to mess with 250 Mecha Clan, the first person he would target would be the regiment commander that had been here for five years but didn't make any changes to 250 Mecha Clan.

Of course, this was all Han Jijyun's own guess. He had to wait for the replies of the higher-ups. Before that, the only thing he could do was to continuously add more fuel to the fire.

Han Jijyun was the one who caused Zheng Qiyun's confidant to keep making mistakes. While he gave Zheng Qiyun more work to handle, he let the higher-ups see how strong his adaptability was.

Zheng Qiyun is a talent. It was a waste to let him stay in 250 Mecha Clan and guard the people here.

Han Jijyun threw Zheng Qiyun to the back of his mind. He had done all he could. He just needed to wait patiently for the results. At this moment, he just needed to plan ahead. If he succeeded and Zheng Qiyun was sent away, what should he do to make Lingtian irreplaceable in 250 Mecha Clan?

Han Jijyun didn't want to rule over the new regiment commander. He just wanted Lingtian to have more power. He didn't want a regiment commander who viewed them as thorns again. He was tired of fighting with another regiment commander again. This was not good for the development of Lingtian. It was not good for 250 Mecha Clan too.

Han Jijyun knew what his boss wanted. He wanted 250 Mecha Clan to become strong again. His boss would never give up on any comrades.

At the same time, Ling Lan sneezed. She wondered who was thinking about her.

Actually, this was not what Ling Lan was thinking. She wanted to stay in 250 Mecha Clan because 250 Mecha Clan was a useless mecha clan. They wouldn't be on the battlefield anytime soon. Hence, she would have enough time to train her members. As for the other mecha operators in 250 Mecha Clan, they were none of her business.

Han Jijyun felt pity for his boss. They were too young. If they had more time, they didn't need to be so careful after his boss became a captain. They could reorganize 250 Mecha Clan outright. With his boss's ability, it would not be difficult.

Han Jijyun felt that there was nothing Ling Lan couldn't do.

“How are those mecha operators that just ended their treatment? How is their rehabilitation?” Han Jijyun pushed his thoughts away and asked Xie Yi about the mecha operators. Xie Yi was the one in charge of them.

Xie Yi placed his hands behind his back and leaned against the seat. He said in a relaxed manner. “Who is able to handle the training that our boss had created?”

“They didn't resist?” Han Jijyun didn't believe that those once-famous mecha operators would be obedient.

“Even if they wanted to resist, they need the energy to do it. Luo Lang is be supervising them with the rest of the Lingtian Battle Team so they don't dare to do anything overboard,” Xie Yi replied. In order to make the veterans listened to them, Luo Lang and he put in much effort to come up with various plans and methods. They borrowed strength from the other members of Lingtian and even borrowed some medicine and agents from Li Shiyu just in case they needed it.

However, after three days of training, those didn't have any arrogance left. They used up all their energy during the training. When the training ended, they were dragged out of the venue by Xie Yi and the other members of Lingtian. Luo Lang partic.i.p.ated in the training too but he remained alive and kicking after it. He even had the energy to drag them back to their dormitory. This embarra.s.sed them greatly. They felt that they threw the dignity of veterans so they didn't dare to remain proud anymore.

Xie Yi didn't expect his boss's training to have even more impact than Li Shiyu's medicine. After they used Li Shiyu's medicine on the veterans, they were still unconvinced about their leadership. However, the moment they experienced his boss's training, they didn't dare to rebel anymore.

“This is good. We need to make sure that they look up to our boss. Whether our regiment commander gets changed or not, we must be the one in control,” Han Jijyun ordered.

“I understand!” Xie Yi turned serious.

Ever since the Lingtian Battle Team came to 250 Mecha Clan, they had the intention of making 250 Mecha Clan into their mecha clan. This was their goal and they needed this goal. A huge goal would allow the Lingtian Battle Team to continue moving forward and not be overtaken by the other battle teams.

At the boundaries of the Balaya Kingdom, the Feiyang Ship didn't dare to stop. After searching in the battlefield for a while, they left.

They flew for two hours and entered the Balaya Kingdom. The six battle teams heaved a sigh of relief. Even the captain of the Feiyang Ship felt relaxed. He knew that the main aim of this trip was to send Princess Gulibaduo safely back to the Balaya Kingdom.

Finally, the Feiyang Ship docked at the port of the Balaya Kingdom. Princess Gulibaduo changed into her imperial costume in her room. She didn't choose a dress but instead, chose a male military uniform. It was a blue and white uniform with yellow ta.s.sels. Gulibaduo looked really handsome in the attire. The gentleness in her eyes disappeared. They were replaced with a firmed expression.

“Your Highness!” Her confidant looked at her with excitement. She held the Babu scepter in her hand. As long as they handed this scepter to the king, Gulibaduo would gain the right to inherit the throne.

“Let's go,” Gulibaduo replied calmly. She knew that the attacks along her journey were planned by Huaxia Federation's enemy as well as her siblings.

Sure enough, just like what her mentor had said, there was no family love in the royal family. There was only the greed for power and personal interest. During this journey, she grew stronger mentally.

When she reached the living room, she saw Mu Youyun and Qian Jialin waiting for her with their men.

Gulibaduo bowed to them and said, “Thank you for protecting me all this time.”

Mu Youyun and Qian Jialin bowed back immediately. “It is our honor. This is our mission. You are being too polite.”

Gulibaduo felt sad. “Are we parting now?” Once she reached the Balaya Kingdom, bodyguards of the royal family would come and fetch her. Mu Youyun and Qian Jialin's mission would end.

Mu Youyun and Qian Jialin exchanged glances with each other. In the end, Mu Youyun said, “Yes. However, we will hand you over to the bodyguards personally.”

Gulibaduo smiled. “I will have to bother you all for a while longer then.” Compared to the bodyguards of the royal family, she trusted Mu Youyun and Qian Jialin more. They had been with her for the past month. Their presence made her feel at ease.

Gulibaduo hesitated for a moment. Finally, she said the suspicion that she had been keeping to herself, “Those people that have been protecting me secretly, have they finished their mission too?”

Mu Youyun knew that the princess was talking about the people that saved them in the underground auction at Planet Kachi. The princess was not stupid. She knew that there were people guarding her secretly.

“Yes.” Mu Youyun replied directly. He confirmed the princess' suspicion.

Gulibaduo was disappointed. But, she quickly controlled her emotions. When she heard the announcement that pa.s.sengers could start getting off the ship, she walked out of her room with a stern face.

The port was filled with people. Although they had a battle just a moment ago, the pa.s.sengers were at ease because they were in brother nation of the Federation. They walked down the ship in an orderly manner. Such dangers were common in an intergalactic trip so most of the pa.s.sengers were used to it too.

Gulibaduo scanned the port. A tinge of happiness appeared on her face and she walked forward hurriedly. She walked towards Ling Lan and her friends.

“Thank you,” Gulibaduo thanked them sincerely.

“Why are you thanking us?” Zhao Jun looked shocked. He saw her servant who was holding a suitcase and smiled. “Are you referring to this? There is no need to thank us. We should be the ones thanking you for bringing us in and let us enjoy the auction.”

Yun Feiyang saw the princess ignoring him but instead, talked to that bunch of commoners. He got jealous. His love for Gulibaduo was getting stronger so he couldn't stand it when Gulibaduo treated him coldly.

“Feiyang, calm down!” Luo Chengwen reminded him. When you liked a person. never do things that person hates. Yun Feiyang had many things to learn about love.

Yun Feiyang rubbed his eyes. When he looked up again, he had resumed his calmness. “Thank you.”

“Those are just chance acquaintances. You, on the other hand, will stay by her side. Don't let them disrupt your plan,” Luo Chengwen consoled him.

“Yes, I understand. I will stay in the Balaya Kingdom and show Gulibaduo how suitable I am as her partner.” Yun Feiyang felt confident again. Just like what his second uncle said, he was the only one that could stay here. He had many more chances compared to other people.

Gulibaduo smiled when she heard Zhao Jun's reply. She said, “That was nothing. The real thing is not the auction. It is the Grand Mecha Tournament which the Federation's military academy holds every three years. Unfortunately, the tournament for this year just ended so I couldn't invite you all to watch it with me.” Gulibaduo winked at Qi Long and Li Yingjie when she said this.

Qi Long scratched his head as he smiled awkwardly. “That is really unfortunate. I wish that I knew you earlier.”

Seemed like she recognized them. No wonder she picked them out of so many pa.s.sengers.

“Yes. The First Men's Military Academy sent five ace mecha masters. One of them even had a breakthrough during the tournament. I was so jealous.” Gulibaduo looked at Li Yingjie. Her eyes were filled with respect.

“Haha, that is because I didn't go. If not, I would have defeated the opponent.” Li Yingjie raised his head angrily.

Lin Zhong-qing pulled his sleeve hurriedly. He asked him to suppress his anger.

Gulibaduo noticed that the six people didn't say anything else and knew that she couldn't stay beside them any longer. She bid farewell to them and left the port with her men. She prepared to leave the ship.

Mu Youyun, Qian Jialin, and Ling Lan's eyes met. They exchanged a glance, then Mu Youyun and Qian Jialin left with Gulibaduo.

When Gulibaduo walked down the Feiyang Ship, she looked back. She clenched her fist. When she walked past Ling Lan just now, Ling Lan secretly stuffed a piece of paper in her hand. No one around her noticed it.

Since Ling Lan used such a secretive method to pa.s.s the paper to her, Gulibaduo didn't tell anyone about it. She came to the s.p.a.ceport and went to use the bathroom. She took the chance and read the paper.

When they reached the s.p.a.ceport, Gulibaduo requested Mu Youyun and Qian Jialin to safeguard the Babu scepter until they reached the Balaya Kingdom bank. This was her last request.

Mu Youyun and Qian Jialin thought for a moment before agreeing.

The princess's confidant felt worried. She didn't think that the Babu scepter should be pa.s.sed to someone who didn't belong to their kingdom. She wanted to go to the bank too but the princess stopped her.

The confidant didn't understand why the princess made such a decision. They didn't know the background of these soldiers. However, she didn't dare to defy the princess' orders so she could only send the scepter off with a worried look.

“I received a message from the captain of Lingtian just now. He asked us to change our path.” Before Qian Jialin entered the hovercar provided by the bodyguards, he pulled Mu Youyun to the side.

Mu Youyun's expression changed. He looked at his team members. The team members suddenly jumped forward and knocked the two bodyguards in the hover car unconscious. They pulled them out and placed them at the side of the road.

“Let's go!” Mu Youyun asked Qian Jialin to get onto the car. Then, he operated the hover car and changed their path. They disappeared into the air.

The princess received news of what happened on Mu Youyun's side. Her confidant was shocked. She pulled the princess forcefully and shouted, “I knew that those people can't be trusted. Your Highness, hurry up and order the bodyguards to chase after them. That is our national treasure.”

The leader of the bodyguards looked at Princess Gulibaduo and waited for her orders.

“No need. We will go directly to my father.” Gulibaduo seemed exceptionally calm at this moment.

“Princess!” The confidant screamed. She pulled Princess Gulibaduo and hoped that she would change her mind. She couldn't understand why the princess was so indifferent.

“Why? Is that scepter more important than my safety?” Gulibaduo narrowed her eyes and looked at her confidant sharply.

“No, no, I don't dare to think that way. But, but, but the king had been looking for the Babu scepter for a long time.” The confidant released the princess in a flurry. However, she couldn't hide her distress.

The leader of the bodyguards was shocked when he heard about the Babu scepter. He looked at the princess and hoped that she would change her mind.

“Hurry up and bring me to my father. I will explain this matter to him personally.” Gulibaduo was firm in her decision. The leader had no choice but to order the drivers to rush to the palace.

The confidant was worried. As she was rubbing her hands, Gulibaduo suddenly grabbed her hands and asked, “Don't you believe your master?”

The confidant looked at her in astonishment. “No. No. I'm just worried.”

“Don't worry.” Gulibaduo smiled at her confidant and squeezed her arm. At that moment, she stuck a little device that was wrapped up in the paper Ling Lan gave her on side of her confidant's communicator.

Gulibaduo turned her head and looked outside the window. She felt lonely. She didn't want to believe that her servant which grew up with her, someone whom she felt was her sister, betrayed her. But, she knew who Ling Lan and his friends were. How could she forget the two people received prizes at the Grand Mecha Tournament. Their comrades must not be simple people too. She trusted them. If not, why would she look for their protection?

Gulibaduo believed that she was able to escape from the auction because of them. They were the ones who helped her get the Babu scepter too. If they didn't partic.i.p.ate in the auction, the results might be different.

When she knew that they were here to protect her, she trusted them even more. That was why she followed Ling Lan's instruction and pa.s.sed the Babu scepter to Mu Youyun and Qian Jialin.

Ling Lan wrote that her opponent's target was the Babu scepter. They wanted to s.n.a.t.c.h it when she returned to the Balaya Kingdom and take her credit away. That way, her right to inherit would be taken away too.

This was a vicious plan but it had a high probability of it happening. Gulibaduo never expected her siblings to disregard their father's wishes and use such a method. She wasn't prepared for it and didn't know that her confidant had been bought over. If Ling Lan didn't remind her, she would have fallen into her sibling's trap.

However, things were different now. Ruthlessness appeared in Gulibaduo's eyes. Under the pressure her siblings gave her, she finally threw her last ounce of gentleness away.

From this moment onwards, she was no longer the young girl who just came out of the military academy and dreamt of improving her kingdom. Now, she was just Princess Gulibaduo, someone who wanted to gain more power and stand at a higher position.

When Gulibaduo met her father, she convinced her father to give her two additional hours. However, her father closed the entire s.p.a.ceport. It was impossible for anyone to bring the Babu scepter out from the country now.

If the other party didn't bring the Babu scepter to the national bank within these two hours, the king would issue a warrant for Mu Youyun and Qian Jialin. He would also lodge a complaint against the Federation too.

One hour later, news came that Mu Youyun and Qian Jialin had brought the Babu scepter to the national bank.

The king of Balaya was elated. He started listening to the details Gulibaduo said.
