"Fan, not just any soldier but the special troops. Also, General Lu wants you to lead the special troops, so you can become captain. You are a good and young fighter, and you'll be made captain the moment you join. After you work hard at the lower levels for a few years and gain some experience, you will rise rapidly in the armed forces in the future. In 30 years, you might even get promoted to major general like my teacher. Fan, General Lu is giving you the rare opportunity to turn your life around, so you must seize the chance," persuaded Ye Yu-Yan as though Lu Tian-He was doing Ye Fan a colossal favor.
Ye Fan instantly smiled upon hearing her.
The weight on Ye Yu-Yan's heart lifted when she saw Ye Fan's smile.
She thought Ye Fan smiled because he was agreeable to it.
So Ye Yu-Yan continued, "Since Fan is interested in joining the army, then let's go see General Lu now. He will take care of the rest. You can save your gratitude for General Lu and thank him when you see
him."
But Ye Fan ignored Ye Yu-Yan's words.
Instead, he asked, "Who do you think is more highly skilled? Me or your master?"
Ye Yu-Yan was stunned. She didn't know why Ye Fan suddenly asked.
She replied to him with honesty, "Master and I were defeated by the top disciple of Sword Shrine, Hua Ying-Tian, at Guangyue Restaurant. Fortunately, you turned the tables around and saved Master and I, so you are more highly skilled from this perspective."
Ye Fan laughed gently and asked Ye Yu-Yan with his back facing her, "Okay. Where do you stand in the army?"
Ye Yu-Yan shook her head and said slowly, "I have just joined the army and am still young and inexperienced. Thanks to General Lu, I became the Dragon Hunting Special Troop leader, but only made it to a major recently. There is a lot of talent in the Yanjing armed forces. We have a few admirals, and there are more than ten lieutenant generals and major generals! I am lowly, and my words carry no weight, so I naturally can't compare to them."
Ye Fan turned and said coldly to Ye Yu-Yan in a deep voice, "In that case, are you fit to invite me? I am the leader of all of Jiangdong, and all the influential people worship me like a god. How can someone as lowly as you be fit to invite me to join the army?"
His resounding voice was as impactful as gold falling to the ground.
Ye Yu-Yan was instantly dumbstruck, and her face turned pale when Ye Fan shouted.
Even Lu Wen-Jing and Chen Nan went startled by Ye Fan's question.
But Ye Fan wasn't done yet, and his imposing voice exploded in the air once again.
"At the battle of Mount Tai, I defeated Wu He-Rong with one blow. At Yanxi Lake, I defeated Hua Ying-Long with a single punch. I don't even care about the Sword God of Japan, much less his top disciple. I am the King of Kings and mightier than anyone else in the world. Now you are asking me to work and take orders from someone else and become captain of your stupid troops? Ye Yu-Yan, oh Ye Yu-Yan, aren't you thinking too highly of yourself? Go back and tell your teacher, even if he makes me the general or the chief military instructor of all troops, I don't give a damn about it. How dare you claim that it is the opportunity of a lifetime? That's a joke!" said Ye Fan angrily nonstop.
Each and every one of his words sounded like swords slashing through the air.
In an instant, Ye Fan's imposing aura made the atmosphere turn a few degrees colder.
His voice made it feel as though they had plummeted into an ice cave.
Then Ye Fan walked off.
Cold wind gusted behind her making leaves swirl into the air!
Ye Yu-Yan continued standing where she was for a long time after Ye Fan had left.
Her face turned ghastly pale as she stood dumbstruck and stared at the Ye Fan's silhouette from behind as he walked off angrily.
For a long time, she said nothing.
But her eyes turned red very quickly.
Tears unknowingly burst through her eyes and trickled down her face nonstop.
