“I do have a suitable candidate, but I need to discuss it with her first. Please wait here; I’ll go explain the situation. I’m sure she won’t refuse,” Wu Yi said calmly.

The New Brave Guild was built at my great expense, with the cooperation of master craftsmen from both the dwarves and goblins. Though its scale cannot compare to the royal palace, both its appearance and grandeur rival it, and the fierce style of its martial arena even surpasses the royal palace’s tournament grounds.

Therefore, even though Hong Chengchou vigorously promoted firearms and established a new army, the Qing court’s dominant opinion remained in favor of bows, arrows, and cold weapons.

Wang Yue smiled, continuing to control the Thirty-three Celestial Pearls. After devouring all the Ghost Greed Fruit Trees with her pearls, they reverted to their original form and returned to her hand.
