After seeing Li Mengyao and Xi Qianxue off, Du You returned to his busy routine. The two women wouldn't be visiting him for a while since they were eager to improve their own teams and couldn't possibly bring them along.
On this day, Shaliya approached him, her face showing traces of fatigue.
"Trouble again?" Du You lifted his head and embraced Shaliya in his arms. This could be considered a brief rest, for he would need to continue his hectic work soon. Establishing such a vast empire really entailed an overwhelming number of tasks.
Even with teams aiding in handling affairs, it always seemed like there weren't enough people.
"There's been another rebellion in the Imperial Capital," Shaliya sighed. "It seems some people just can't be completely eradicated."
Du You curled his lip, "Then keep killing. There will always be those who are ignorant of their own mortality." Most of these people were nobles, including relatives from noble families that had perished.
