Chapter 798 726: I Want to Propose to Her
"The Maro Civilization's probes experienced a few issues here, leading them to conduct several on-site investigations. Fortunately, our array is quite effective, otherwise, we would have been discovered," Lu Ke explained, as this was indeed a significant event for Spiritual Star and Xu Yi should be informed.
"That's good, as long as they didn't discover anything," Xu Yi exhaled a breath of relief. Although his power had risen to Level 43, which qualified him as a mid-tier within the Divine Race, if the Maro Civilization reported to the Divine Race, Xu Yi wouldn't be able to alter the fate of Spirit Blue Star and Spiritual Star.
"Yes, this issue has already been half a year ago, we should be safe now," Ling Qi remarked with a sense of nostalgia, recalling the time they all thought humans and the Spirit Race would be discovered and either enslaved or wiped out.
"Okay, everyone share your cultivation level, let's see how everyone's progress has been over the last year," Xu Yi said while glancing at the crowd.
Then, everyone started reporting their cultivation statuses.
One might say the human and Spirit Race's talents are almost on par. Perhaps humans even have a slight edge in cultivation talent.
Their progress was slightly beyond Xu Yi's expectations.
After understanding everyone's situation, Xu Yi took a sip of tea, then said, "Everyone did amazingly, beyond my predictions. Next, I plan to leave with the War God Department from Yi Sect, what about you, Spirit Race?"
"Xu Yi, the War God Department now has 3,145 people, can you take them all at once?" Wang Jin asked, determined to leave with Xu Yi this time no matter what.
"Yes, I recently acquired a vast secret realm capable of sustaining tens of thousands. But ideally, it's better to take only a few thousand; the more people, the heavier the burden on the secret realm," Xu Yi couldn't divulge the true situation of the Yi Realm, so he just referred to it as a secret realm.
Such secret realms do exist, although they are rather rare and extremely uncommon.
"Oh my gosh, Xu Yi, you're incredibly lucky to possess such a secret realm! If that's the case, our Spirit Race needs a quota of 5,000 people," Ling Qi knew Xu Yi's destination was certainly Titan Academy.
Although Xu Yi's introduction to the academy wasn't extensive, they all knew the immense benefits there, offering substantial enhancements.
Naturally, they had to strive for those 5,000 spots.
"Alright, let's set Yi Sect's quota at 5,000 as well, a nice round number," Xu Yi agreed to Ling Qi's request, taking so many people was still manageable for Yi Realm.
The realm's resources were sufficient for their survival.
"Next, you should decide on the candidates, we'll depart in 50 days," Xu Yi said, then continued discussing other matters.
Half an hour later, the high-ranking members of the Spirit Race and Yi Sect left.
In the meeting room, only Xu Yi, Liu Li, and Cheng Jie were left.
They needed to update Xu Yi on the situations in the Research Department and Logistics Department, which they were most familiar with.
Of course, Lu Ke also understood these matters.
However, Xu Yi wished to marry Lu Ke, naturally requiring Liu Li and Cheng Jie to make the arrangements.
"Sect Leader, these are all our accomplishments from the Research Department and Logistics Department. If there's nothing else, we'll take our leave," because some information couldn't be shared verbally, Xu Yi could only review the files, data, and reports himself.
"Wait, I have a few more instructions for you," Xu Yi stopped the two.
"Sect Leader, please tell us," Cheng Jie glanced at Xu Yi, curious about his reason for halting them.
Her bigger curiosity was why Xu Yi chose to update Liu Li and Cheng Jie instead of Lu Ke, given Lu Ke's position as Vice Sect Leader who knew all about Yi Sect.
Could it be that there's a rift in their relationship?
Indeed, Xu Yi had spent a considerable time in Titan Academy and even longer away from Spirit Blue Star and Spiritual Star.
Men, in their quest to best pass on their genes, often opt for more partners to expand their gene pool. Women can guarantee their offspring is biologically theirs, while men lack that assurance, hence increasing the number of mates enhances their offspring count.
It's possible Xu Yi developed feelings for certain Divine Masters at the Titan Academy, leading to a possible relationship issue with Lu Ke.
If such an issue occurred, Cheng Jie was quite understanding.
Because Xu Yi was exceptionally outstanding, many women would desire to be his partner.
Not to mention elsewhere, even within the Yi Sect's high ranks, Wang Jin, Su Yan, Lu Yao, they all wished to be with Xu Yi as his partner.
"I wish to propose to Lu Ke and hold a wedding. I leave the wedding arrangements to you. I want a traditional Chinese wedding, not too extravagant, with the ceremony fully documented," Xu Yi directly stated his wishes.
"Oh my goodness, really? Xu Yi, you truly wish to marry our Lu Ke. That's wonderful, we've finally reached this day. I thought you wouldn't give Lu Ke an answer until after defeating the Divine Race," Liu Li exclaimed in joy, although her heart held some feelings for Xu Yi, she was well aware of the chasm between them.
