As a senior federal spy, Stanley subconsciously underestimated Su Mu.

When he thought Su Mu came just to make a random inspection, he found that Su Mu had already won most of the alchemists back in his heart with just a few words.

And just as Stanley was feeling awesome about this, and was about to question Su Mu why he wanted to go further, he found that Su Mu was tempting him to reveal his strength.

Even when Stanley's identity was completely exposed, Su Mu not only did not criticize Stanley himself too much, but instead directly spoke to the federal government through Stanley's media.

Therefore, when Su Mu took Su Tong and left the alchemy workshop again.

Stanley, who was still standing there, looked at the backs of the two of them in his heart with more shock.

Some kind of indescribable emotion is also spreading wildly in Stanley's heart.

Until Su Mu and the others had completely disappeared from the street corner that could be seen in the workshop, Stanley was shocked from his previous emotions and immediately walked towards the alchemy messenger used in the workshop.

Then, the news that had to be reported immediately was as Su Mu expected at the beginning, and could only be truthfully conveyed back by Stanley... in front of the spy leader Adrian!

...

The federal government's response speed was faster than Su Mu imagined.

While Su Mu and Su Tong were quietly returning to the mansion, they had just settled in Su Tong's bedroom out of the window, and a servant had already gently knocked the door of the bedroom.

Then a notice that had to be heard sounded so naturally:

"Your Highness, Adrian, the Speaker's personal steward, is here to visit!"

After hearing this, Su Mu and the other two naturally looked at each other with a stern look.

Then he quickly sorted out his own appearances, and then calmly pretended that he had always been in the mansion, and went to the reception room where Adrian was receiving him calmly.

Speaking of which, even now, Su Mu has only seen Adrian three times.

But in these few three meetings, the impression that Adrian left in Su Mu's mind became increasingly worthy of attention and fear.

When we first met, Adrian was the teacher of the consul Wenliang.

And he cleverly used a simple reverse hint to successfully lure Su Mu to show his ambitions, and then was completely controlled by the Federal Speaker.

But when we met for the second time, Adrian was a complete butler.

He did not seem to have any interference in the sharp counterattacks raised by Su Mu and Lu Xi, but just watched silently as the mystery was established.

As for the third meeting in front of him, Adrian's identity once again became the leader of a federal spy.

It was the extremely huge shadow of the federal one that secretly monitored everyone.

"So, Mr. Adrian, is there an answer to my question?"

After coming to the reception room, Su Mu did not continue to act deaf and dumb at all. Instead, he was extremely calm and raised the question raised by Stanley again in front of Adrian.

However, Adrian did not give an answer immediately after hearing this.

Instead, he looked at Su Mu, who was now showing his strength with a very satisfied look.

Then he spoke in a gentle tone, saying something not so light:

"A person's abilities must match his ambitions. Otherwise, all his abilities can only be tools in the hands of others. So now you... are you ready to become a tool master?"

...

Su Mu did not answer Adrian's question.

Just gently and firmly, slowly holding Su Tong's hand in the palm of his hand.

Su Mu's actions undoubtedly showed that he must protect the imperial princess so that she would never need to return to the quagmire in the empire.

After seeing this, Adrian showed some regrets strangely at this moment. Although he supported Su Mu's choice, he still had other ideas after all.

However, Adrian's subtle emotions have not even been truly noticed by others.

The next moment, Adrian had already turned to say:

"As you are worried, in order to return home as soon as possible, the princes and daughters of the Longtuo Empire will hold a wedding immediately after one of the engagements reaches the age of marriage and return there. Such precedents are actually not rare since ancient times."

"And since the affairs of you and His Highness of the Princess have already caused great attention to the entire continent. Once you pass the adulthood period, the empire will urge you to get married as soon as possible, which is such a reasonable behavior."

"That is, if your ultimate goal is to ascend to the top of the Federation and become the 'perfect consul' in the plan. Then how to make His Royal Highness stay in the Federation for a long time is the problem you must solve at the moment."

Adrian said this, but he deliberately paused.

I did not directly say what the federal officials intend.

On the contrary, it is extremely abrupt, and talks about a metaphor that seems to have nothing to do with this:

"As an alchemist, you should also know that kind of technique. For many relatively ancient alchemy tools, when it is difficult to disassemble their mechanic structures to check, you actually need to tighten the mechanic joints first, and then open them in the reverse direction."

"And many things in this world... actually need this method to solve them!"

...

"What do you mean is to let Su Tong return to the empire for the time being?"

Su Mu undoubtedly understood Adrian's metaphor at the first time.

However, compared to Su Mu's idea at this time, Adrian's plan is obviously more radical:

"It's not that Your Highness the Princess needs to return temporarily, but that you and Your Highness the Princess, you will all take the initiative to go to the capital of the Longtuo Empire after your coming-of-age ceremony."

"The reason why the Empire hopes that His Highness the Princess will return is undoubtedly to use your influence in the Federation, so that His Highness the Princess can use you as a strong foreign aid and be involved in the empire's battle for the throne again."

"But as long as you go completely against this, you will never be separated even if you return home, and even openly give up the good situation in the Federation. Without this halo called the "Federal Newcomer", with your own strength, it will be difficult for you to intervene in the dispute over the throne again."

After that, Adrian said that, he gently took out an exquisite official invitation letter.

Then, while putting the invitation letter on several cases, he also added:

"And most importantly, if you only return alone, the Empire may imprison you two in anger, so that you will never be able to return to the Federation."

"But it happened to be at the end of this year. The three major college exchange meetings will be held in the Qinghua Knights Academy in Longtuo Empire."

"So, you and His Highness the Princess, don't need to go to the empire alone. Instead, you can go to the emperor of the Longtuo Empire by the name of academy exchange... and go back and forth safely with the exchange team of the North Magic Academy."

"As long as you two are always in the academy's exchange mission, no matter how angry the Empire is, it is absolutely impossible to restrict an academic exchange team... at will!"
