Upon Zhou Ling’s insistence, Zhou Ye reluctantly agreed to accompany him back to Planet Golden Rice, while the rest of the group remained in the empire, awaiting further instructions.

Aware of the covert activities of the nobles capturing mermaids, Olift and the others understood that their presence could potentially cause trouble.

“Remember, follow the instructions and avoid acting recklessly,” Zhou Ye reiterated, emphasizing the importance of caution.

Feeling slightly exasperated by his brother’s repeated instructions, Zhou Ling replied, “Brother, I’m already a colonel. I’m not a child anymore. I won’t act impulsively.”

“Alright, I understand you’re eager. However, we are in the rebel army’s camp, and vigilance is necessary,” Zhou Ye responded with a chuckle. “Davier, make sure to conceal your presence and avoid being seen by others.”

Davies, puzzled by the decision, questioned, “Are you sure you don’t want our assistance? Wouldn’t Zhou Ling’s presence in the rebel army increase our chances of success?”

Zhou Ye shook his head. “Although you have assumed a human form, you are still a young insect. Your true strength remains unknown. Moreover, you have already exerted significant mental energy in your efforts to save the mermaids and elves. It is crucial for you to maintain stability.”

Davies felt a twinge of dissatisfaction, but he acknowledged the truth in Zhou Ye’s words and nodded in agreement.

As Zhou Ye’s aircraft arrived, Davies concealed their presence, allowing the aircraft to swiftly pass inspection.

Upon their arrival at the rebel army base, Zhou Ling was astonished by Davies’ abilities. Despite Zhou Ye’s noticeable transformation, others still recognized him as Kevin and paid no attention to the two individuals accompanying him.

In disbelief, Zhou Ling looked at the youth beside him, emanating a faint green glow. Davies nodded with an air of pride.

Exercising caution, Zhou Ye opted to enter Li Xian’s office alone, leaving the other two behind.

“Kevin? Why are you back?” Li Xian looked at him suspiciously.

“Xiao Chen hasn’t made any significant moves, but I have another report to share,” Zhou Ye quickly came up with an excuse. “The popularity of the Princess of Dawn’s royal food manor is increasing.”

He projected an image on the Al screen. “This is just one of the branch gardens, but it has already achieved considerable success. With the royal family’s support, many nobles have invested in it. More branch gardens are expected to emerge in the future. Additionally, the common people hold a positive view of the Princess of Dawn. Her ancient delicacies have captured their hearts. Even those who previously switched sides from the bottom of society have begun to reconsider their opinions of the royal family.”

Li Xian furrowed his brow as he listened. He had anticipated this development. The royal family intended to use the Princess of Dawn to win over the people, and it seemed that their strategy was working.

Zhou Ye continued, “Furthermore, Loya personally prepares ancient delicacies on-site and distributes ingredients to the people. This has caused some wavering noble families to return to their support for the royal family.”

“It appears we need to expedite our plan,” Li Xian said, switching off the Al screen. “Kevin, your timing couldn’t be better. We need your cooperation with our new member to carry out the ancient food live-stream. Your main responsibility will be monitoring.”

“New member?” Zhou Ye’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing about the ancient food live-stream. Who else could it be but Liao Ning?

“Yes, are you familiar with Liao Ning?” Li Xian shared the live-stream video of Liao Ning making seafood pancakes.

Zhou Ye nodded and responded, “She is a renowned live-streamer, particularly in the field of ancient food. She is considered one of the top live-streamers. Her popularity is remarkable.”

He chose not to outright claim that he didn’t know Liao Ning. Given the current influence of “My Child Is The Best,” it would be unconvincing to deny knowledge of her. Instead, he decided to take advantage of the opportunity to express familiarity.

“I didn’t expect you to be interested in ancient delicacies. Nevertheless, the dishes she prepares are indeed exceptional,” Li Xian remarked, his mind drifting back to the seafood pancakes he had tasted.

Swiftly regaining his composure, Li Xian continued, “She is currently resting in the VIP room. In the future, she will become a live-streamer for the rebel army, rallying the people to our cause. Your primary task is to monitor her live-stream and ensure she doesn’t transmit any distress signals.”

‘Yes!” Zhou Ye immediately replied.

Li Xian also stood up and said to him, “Come with me. I’ll introduce the two of you first. From now on, you’ll be colleagues..”
