"Qiu Shuang greets the elders."
Even the emperor had to bow to the elders, even if they were just statues?
At that moment, Li Fan had the urge to kill the eight elders and rule the world for Qiu Shuang. However, he could only hold it in for now. After all, he wasn't a match for these eight old monsters.
"Qiu Shuang, right?"
The eyes of the eight statues lit up at the same time, as if they could awaken their bodies this way.
"Congratulations on becoming the empress."
"We've discussed it and temporarily acknowledged your right to rule."
"However, if you go against the elders' wishes, we will remove you from your position."
The elders spoke up one after another. Li Fan was infuriated when he heard them. This was clearly an attitude of superiority. What the hell!
"But the empress is still young."
Elder Ren raised his voice. "She's not mature enough in terms of military affairs. I suggest that the first prince, Qiu Yu, take over the military and appoint him as the marshal of the three armies!"
"Qiu Yu is greedy for power. How can he be the marshal?"
"That's right. I'm afraid he'll only benefit himself if he becomes the marshal!"
"I don't agree with Elder Ren's suggestion."
Next to him, Elder Xin led the others to refute Elder Ren's suggestion.
"Elder Ren, we know that you support the first prince. However, this matter is not something that you can make the decision on your own. "
A woman's voice rang out. It was Elder Li. She should be a woman.
"In comparison, the second prince, Qiu Shuang, is much more mature. He's the most suitable person to be the marshal of the three armies. "
"Yes, yes. Qiu Shuang's character is impeccable!"
"Moreover, he has thought deeply and is much more mature than Qiu Yu."
The other seven elders stood on the second prince's side, but Elder Ren snorted.
"Don't forget that Qiu Yu has Prince Feng backing him up!"
Elder Ren reminded them. "The second prince doesn't have any powerful military forces under his control!"
"If he becomes the marshal of the three armies, he'll have to hand over Prince Feng's military power."
"That's right. He's just a prince. Does he want to control his own army?"
"What nonsense!"
Elder Ren sneered. "We haven't even started a war with the human world and you're already fighting among yourselves?"
"Elder Ren, you must be joking."
Elder Li said in a sweet voice, "How is this internal force? This was just a reasonable allocation of resources. Elder Ren, don't tell me you want to monopolize this place? "
"Elder Li, what do you mean?"
"Elder Ren, we all know what you've been doing in the dark all these years."
"Yeah, if you don't want people to know, don't do it."
"Our discerning eyes are like torches!"
Everyone denounced Elder Ren together. It felt like Elder Ren was arguing with the Confucian scholars.
"For thousands of years, the few of you have always been working for your own interests, dividing up the resources of the Sky Beyond Heaven."
Elder Ren said coldly, "It is because of this that the Realm Beyond Avalon has always been in a state of shortage of resources. There is no national power to conquer the human world! If we let you continue to divide like this, forget about conquering the human world, our Human Realm Beyond Heaven will be destroyed by our own hands sooner or later! "
"Nonsense. You asked the First Prince to start a war. Look at how much destruction the Sky Beyond Avalon has suffered."
"We lost a third of our population! This is a disaster! "
"The Realm Beyond Avalon needs a revolution!"
Elder Ren said loudly, "Without this revolution, the Realm Beyond Avalon will self-destruct!"
"You're just twisting words and forcing logic! No one will support you, Elder Ren! "
"That's right! Don't even think about it! "
"Aiyaya, we've been talking for so long. Let's listen to Her Majesty's opinion."
The few elders seemed to have finally remembered the insignificant Qiu Shuang. Their gazes landed on Qiu Shuang again.
It seemed like Qiu Shuang's opinion had become important.
"The commander-in-chief of the three armies … I've decided to let Li Dazhuang take the position."
Qiu Shuang directly recommended Li Fan, "My two royal brothers are not suitable."
"Li Dazhuang?"
"Is he the one who defeated the number one expert of the royal family?"
"That's him. He looks very young."
The elders first started discussing. Then, Elder Ren spoke again.
"Since he defeated the number one expert of the royal family, it means that his strength is indeed not bad."
He stared at Li Fan, "Elders, is the position of the Head of Guards still empty?"
"Indeed, there's no suitable candidate."
"Maybe he can."
Everyone seemed to have reached an agreement very quickly. Qiu Shuang, however, became slightly nervous. She gently pulled Li Fan's finger.
"Elders, please allow me to reject."
Li Fan said loudly, "I'm loyal to Her Majesty. I'm only willing to be her guard."
"What a stupid person."
"The Head of Guards has almost the same authority as the Emperor!"
"Shortsighted! This person is obsessed with love. He's useless! "
The elders were rather disappointed. Elder Ren didn't mention this matter anymore.
"Since that's the case, then I can't let you be the commander-in-chief of the three armies."
He said slowly, "The commander-in-chief of the three armies is of utmost importance. It must be strictly examined by the people of my Elders Association."
"If that's the case, then let the position of commander-in-chief of the three armies be empty first."
Qiu Shuang finally made her decision.
"You're just a mere empress. Do you want to make the decision for us?"
"Don't be too arrogant. You've just become the empress not long ago!"
"Only we can decide the position of commander-in-chief of the three armies!"
The elders immediately started to gesticulate.
"Everyone, you guys are too brazen."
Li Fan felt Qiu Shuang's nervousness. He lightly squeezed Qiu Shuang's palm before raising his head and looking straight at the elders.
"Is our Sky Beyond Skies' Empress going to let you guys bully her? Since I'm the number one expert of the royal family and the protector of the empress, I can't allow you guys to be so impudent! "
"Hehehe, what a stupid fellow."
"With just you?"
A huge pressure was instantly released on Li Fan's body.
Even though Li Fan had experienced tens of times of gravity before, at this moment, he actually felt his body becoming incomparably heavy. It was as if he was about to kneel down!
He immediately summoned his scarlet spear and stabbed it into the ground to support his body!
I should become a wall for Qiu Shuang and shield her from the wind and rain!
To go against the elders here …. Li Fan smiled bitterly in his heart. This is really an unwise thing to do! But for her, maybe I can give it my all!
I'm an Earthling, but I'm also a man right? If I'm a man, how can I watch as my woman is humiliated?
Li Fan wore his golden armor and held onto his spear. His red cape fluttered in the wind. He stared fearlessly at the few statues around him. Cold sweat started to form on his forehead.
"Stupid, mortal."
Elder Ren finally spoke, "Do you really think you can go against us? You're just the number one expert of the royal family. We don't even care about you! "
