In order to hide Ye Fan's true prowess, War God Castle didn't tell Kong Ming and his team much about Ye Fan.
But after being in this circle for so many years, Kong Ming didn't think War God Castle would do anything without a good reason.
Ye Fan was definitely special in some way since he had been allowed to participate.
So Kong Ming just shook his head and said, "We'd better just wait. There must be a good reason why this Mr Chu was selected by War God Castle. If my guess is right, he must be the descendant of someone really powerful. He might be going with us to broaden his horizons. Even if we don't do this for his sake, we have to do this for War God Castle's sake."
His words helped to set Lv Hua and Lu Yan-Xi's perspectives right.
"Elder Kong, you're right. I think that this Mr Chu must have some powerful background, and it's very possible that he's a descendant of one of the members of War God Castle. There's no other good reason for War God Castle to tell us to visit such a young man personally," said Lu Yan-Xi in agreement as she nodded along.
That would explain why her father wanted her to get close to this Mr Chu.
Her father's plan probably wasn't for her to ingratiate herself to Ye Fan, but to ingratiate herself to the person supporting Ye Fan.
"But none of the six pillars of the nation have the surname Chu, right?" Lv Hua's expression was a little pale now.
He had cursed Ye Fan to his face earlier after all.
If Ye Fan really had some powerful background or supporter, then Lv Hua would have to worry about whether he would survive this trip.
Just as the three of them were still on this topic, someone called out to them from afar, "Sorry to keep you guys waiting!"
That voice came from Ye Fan.
"You are...?" Kong Ming was puzzled since he had never seen Ye Fan before.
Lu Yan-Xi explained, "Elder Kong, he is that Mr Chu."
"Oh? So young?"
Even though Kong Ming was mentally prepared to see a young man, he was still appalled by Ye Fan's age when he actually saw him.
This mission was a very important one that could affect the future of China's martial arts circle, so War God Castle should have arranged for only their best to accomplish this mission. How could they add this youngster to the team?
But since Ye Fan possibly had a very powerful background, Kong Ming didn't harp on it too much.
He just nodded and didn't bother to even introduce himself. "Since you're here, let's go then. But before we head off, let me set some expectations right first. This mission is going to be extremely dangerous and it is no child's play. It's not meant to be a fun trip. If you are even the slightest bit careless, you might lose your life. So before this mission ends, all of you are to listen to my orders unconditionally. Otherwise, you shall have to bear the consequences yourselves!"
Kong Ming then got up and walked towards the departure gates.
"Bro, let's go over as well." Lv Hua's attitude suddenly turned for the better. He hadn't just gotten rid of the disdain he had for Ye Fan earlier, but he also took the initiative to talk to Ye Fan.
"Sure." Ye Fan nodded.
The four of them took a plane towards Yanjing.
The plan was for them to fly from Jianghai to Yanjing, then take a private plane all the way to South America. The journey was estimated to take a little more than 20 hours.
