Chapter 187 - 181: Fourth Brother, I Want to Have Your Little Monkey (Part 2)
"No, the Aude Luc family owes the greatest debt to Emperor Haotian. This unpleasant task cannot fall on the Prime Minister." Muta spoke up before Long Che could. "Now, we’ll put it to a vote. If a majority agrees, the challenge letter will be written by the Deputy Marshal."
The Deputy Marshal, wearing a bitter expression, silently nodded. "Alright, I’ll write it."
Once everyone unanimously agreed to the battle, the Deputy Commander promptly sent a challenge letter to Emperor Haotian. Emperor Haotian’s response came quickly and, unlike ever before, this time he actually agreed to Xiasorcerers’ support!
"Now, let’s discuss the battle plan..." Muta turned to Tong Airui. "Airui, this time it will still have to be you. After all, the Divine Eagles are not a formal army. Even if there’s external censure, we can simply claim that this force entering the Haotian lands is not officially part of Xiasorcerers’ military. Do you have a strategy to counter their forces?"

Long Che gazed at his son’s straight and untiring back, his heart aching slightly. "Are you going to say goodbye to Luowa?"
"Yes. Waking her up is better than sneaking away." Tong Airui glanced back at his father. "Once I leave, who knows when I’ll be back. I’ve already arranged for someone to handle Luowa’s family matters, but I’ll need to trouble you and mother to look after her personally."
