Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1764: Chapter 561: The Future of Green Jade Valley, the Uneasy Su Lie and His Son (Part 3)

Looking back now, although the four of them always referred to him as Master, Xia Hong never gave any direct response from beginning to end, including when they reunited at the end of last year in Yanling County, Xia Hong did not mention it at all.

Su Xing’er had these thoughts flash through her mind, her face slightly pale, seeing Xiang Liang still waiting for her response. She adjusted her mood slightly, and with a very reluctant expression, replied, “Thank you Lord Xiang for the reminder. Lord Landgrave indeed never formally accepted me as a disciple. We call him Master out of gratitude for Lord Landgrave’s kindness, which is indeed somewhat presumptuous. I hope you will forgive us.”

When Xiang Liang had asked earlier, his tone didn’t really carry any reproach, but Su Xing’er keenly noticed a hint of displeasure on his face. Her mind was sharp, and she instantly understood the reason, hurriedly bowing to apologize.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Xiang Liang’s face immediately showed satisfaction. He nodded and smiled, “I told you, although your aptitude isn’t bad, our Lord… the Landgrave probably wouldn’t be impressed.”

It’s said that Great Xia hasn’t officially promoted to Feudal Town Camp level yet, so the lord temporarily shouldn’t be titled Landgrave, but in Xiang Liang’s view, it’s only a matter of time, so he thought for a moment and didn’t correct Su Xing’s title for the lord.

Currently, it’s not just Su Xing’er, but also Qingtan Village and Green Jade Valley, and even all the Evergreen Valley laborers who participated in the rebellion, all believe that Great Xia is a Feudal Town, and they all refer to Xia Hong as Landgrave.

There’s no need to correct it, anyway, it’s about to become true, even Xia people are slowly starting to change their terms.

While Xiang Liang was still pondering the subject of titles, he did not notice that Su Xing’er’s face darkened upon hearing his last words.

Su Xing’er was no longer the clueless girl she once was. She had stayed with Xia Hong in Qinghua City, in Lin Chu County, and later lived for a long time in Yanling County after being separated from Xia Hong.

She knew very well that her aptitude was definitely top-notch in places like Evergreen Valley, but when compared with those top talents in Feudal Towns, it was clearly lacking.

Great Xia is also a Feudal Town, Master is the Lord of Great Xia, and has surely seen more and better talents, so what Xiang Liang said, although piercing, was also a reality.

“So, may I ask, Lord Xiang, can Xing’er request an audience with Lord Landgrave? There are over 200,000 laborers involved in the rebellion; although many died in the battle at the valley entrance, there are still tens of thousands left, most of whom are currently gathered in Qingtan Village. I want to ask Lord Landgrave how he plans to settle these people.”

Upon hearing Su Xing’er’s question, Su Lie and Su He, the father and son, along with the surrounding laborer leaders, immediately became enthusiastic, turning their heads to Xiang Liang, clearly all eagerly waiting for his answer.

“I was wondering why you were all so gloomy, it’s because you’re worried about this…”

Upon hearing this question and seeing the concerned looks on everyone’s faces, Xiang Liang suddenly realized, couldn’t help but shake his head repeatedly, then patted his forehead, apologetically saying: “My mistake, I should have told you as soon as I returned. Just now, when I came back from the main tent at the valley entrance, Qiu from the Camp Supply Department instructed me that once he finishes discussing matters, he will immediately come to Qingtan Village to meet you, presumably to announce how you’ll be settled!”

Saying this, Xiang Liang paused and again patted his chest, smiling, “Rest assured, our Great Xia never treats meritorious individuals poorly, and Green Jade Valley has already been incorporated into the Xia Territory, so you folks naturally have become a part of our Great Xia. We won’t forget you.”

With Xiang Liang’s assurance, Su Xing’er and her three siblings, Su Lie, and the other laborer leaders, their moods instantly relaxed considerably.
