Pioneer Lord: Starting From Daily Intelligence

When Jeff saw this scene, he couldn’t help but stroke his beard and laugh heartily. He sat down in the hall, brimming with happiness, as if he had encountered some joyful event.

After tasting a fruit, he opened up: "Young Master Su Li, do you know the purpose of my visit this time?"

Su Li shook his head in surprise and asked, "Uncle Jeff, aren’t you staying here?" He thought Jeff had brought his team this time to provide support like Connor.

Jeff immediately shook his head and laughed, saying: "This old man won’t stay here in the way and be bothersome. The Hesse Territory is yours, a place for the young. My meddling here would only invite annoyance. Besides, to be honest, the strength of your territory doesn’t need this old bag of bones."

Su Li humbly replied: "We still need your broad experience, Uncle Jeff, to give more guidance to our territory. An elder at home is a treasure. With you here, we can feel more at ease."

Jeff waved his hand quickly, saying: "Young Master Su Li, if word of this gets out, I’d be laughed at. I, an Elite Knight, how could I be fit to guide a genius capable of defeating a Legendary Knight? Actually, I came partly to see you on behalf of the family head."

"The main task is to resolve the request you mentioned in your letter to the family about the clan emblem’s blood issue."

The Bauhinia Flower Emblem is indeed an urgent issue requiring family support for Su Li at present.

The problem is, the emblem must be forged with blood from the Bauhinia Flower family’s bloodline. Creating even one emblem consumes 200 milliliters of blood, and Su Li can only produce 2-3 a day by drawing blood.

Equipping all these thousands of troops with the family emblem would turn Su Li into a blood-supply machine, draining him dry over 3 years!

If the army expanded, it’d truly be a never-ending task. Relying on Su Li alone would still be insufficient to supply so many family emblems.

Thus, what Jeff spoke about truly concerned Su Li, prompting him to ask immediately: "How many family members did the family send over?"

"Well, most family members went to participate in the Holy Great Expedition." Jeff shrugged, saying: "As you know, such a divine venture holds unparalleled allure for young knights. Many hope to make a name for themselves in the Holy Great Expedition while acquiring sufficient wealth."

"So the family head managed to summon only 20 family members after much effort."

"Only 20?" Su Li furrowed his brow slightly, calculating that each could provide 500 milliliters of blood, producing a maximum of 60 Bauhinia Flower emblems a day.

It will take a long time to meet the army’s needs, and Su Li has grand plans. Eventually, banners, armor, and even weapons (like sword hilts) would bear the Bauhinia Clan’s emblem.

The emblems’ effects can reference the Dwarves’ runes, with three types: Defense Emblem, Weapon Emblem, and Banner Emblem.

With 20 family members, it may take a year to fully equip the high-level directly affiliated attendants.

Jeff promptly assured: "Young Master Su Li, don’t worry, this is just the family’s first batch of support. After the Holy Great Expedition concludes, a second batch of family members will come."

"Moreover! The family head considers it better to teach fishing than to give fish directly! So he specially sent Suna over."

As the topic shifted to Suna, she immediately blushed and lowered her head, her cheeks turning even more red.

Su Li’s gentle smile froze instantly, his eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at the proudly smiling Old Jeff and then at his cousin Suna, who seemed so shy she might bury her head in her chest.

"Wait a moment!" Su Li’s voice wavered, filled with strong astonishment, "Uncle Jeff, what do you mean by sending Suna over? What... what does this have to do with solving the clan emblem’s blood issue?"

An absurd thought surfaced uncontrollably—is this some kind of family plan?

Although such matters are not uncommon among nobles, some noble and knight clans maintain pure bloodlines by passing it only within their own circle, famously known as blue-blooded aristocrats.

But Su Li clearly never considered this before, yet he couldn’t help but glance at his blushing cousin Suna. Is she beautiful? Undoubtedly so—full of sensuality, with creamy skin, plump and alluring; her legs are smoothly rounded and enticing, possessing both youthful cuteness and mature allure. Saying Su Li isn’t tempted would be a lie. But this doesn’t mean he can accept such a solution!

Old Jeff, seeing Su Li’s shocked expression, was momentarily stunned before bursting into loud laughter, prompting even Uncle Carl and several other knights beside him to chuckle.

"Hahaha! Young Master Su Li! Where did your thoughts wander off to?" Jeff laughed so hard his beard quivered, and he slapped his thigh heartily, "Though I’m old, I’m not confused enough to randomly matchmake folks!"

Still laughing, with hands waving, he saw Su Li’s lingering bewilderment and quickly explained: "You’ve misunderstood! Completely misunderstood! Suna is here to help you ’create blood,’ but not in the way you think!"
