Upon hearing Master Ye's words, the two couldn't help but fall silent.
They were all people who had experienced war and knew how terrifying such a scene could be.
Qin Zhiyuan said in a deep voice, "I don't have such ambition, and I don't think Yang Chen would have such ambition either. Just his dedication to the Guard for so many years to protect the country is proof enough!"
"That's right!" Elder Zhuo said in a deep voice, "Old Ye, perhaps you don't know, Yang Chen is the captain of the Dragon Tooth special forces, and even a Captain, he would never do such a thing!"
Master Ye shook his head, "I know all of this, but even if we don't think this way, how will others? A person born with such a destiny, combined with the alliance between the Zhuo family and the Ye family, how would those in power think?"
Master Ye looked at the two, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"I think you all remember that poem, right?" Master Ye asked.
Both Elder Zhuo and Qin Zhiyuan nodded slightly.
"In nine heavens clouds and mist hide the dragon,
Heavenly stems and earthly branches are obscured;
Meet the storm at Red Land,
Drive Phoenix to settle the world." Master Ye recited.
"Back then, on Wudan Mountain, the old sage's prophecy said Yang Chen was destined to be a true dragon, destined to become a ruler in the future. That's exactly why the Yang family faced utter disaster!" Master Ye lamented. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel(ꜰ)ire.net
It all seemed like destiny.
When the old sage made the prophecy, it was exactly when the leader passed away.
Heaven dies, the Azure Dragon is born.
Naturally, it raised people's vigilance.
And the Yang family became a sacrificial victim amidst this panic.
But now it seems, the prophecy of the old sage was not without basis.
Master Ye said, "You may not know Ye Xin's identity, so I'll tell you now, Ye Xin is the internationally renowned Fire Phoenix!"
"What!" Elder Zhuo exclaimed, eyes wide with shock, "Are you saying the legendary Queen of Agents, Fire Phoenix, is Ye Xin?"
This news caused a huge storm in Elder Zhuo's heart.
First of all, not to mention how powerful Ye Xin is, the "Phoenix" character alone is not simple!
Among men, a dragon; among women, a phoenix.
Both are kings among their gender.
And with Yang Chen's prophecy, driving the Phoenix will settle the world!
If Yang Chen and Ye Xin were together, wouldn't that fulfill the prophecy?
Whoever is in power now, hearing this news, would probably be restless!
"Exactly!" Master Ye said in a deep voice, "Now you see why I want to stop them, right?"
The two people fell silent.
After a long while, Qin Zhiyuan said, "I'll go talk to Yang Chen. He has already retired from the Guard, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't acknowledge being part of Dragon Tooth. I'll persuade him. As long as we don't make this news public, won't they be fine?"
Hearing this, both Elder Zhuo and Master Ye couldn't help but shake their heads.
The reason Qin Zhiyuan withdrew from his political career was because his thinking was too simple, not suited for the political path at all.
"Forget it!" Master Ye waved his hand and said, "You guys go back first, let me think about it thoroughly!"
To be honest, Master Ye was quite helpless in his heart.
Because Yang Chen and Ye Xin, in many people's eyes, really were a childhood sweethearts match.
And more than one person came to persuade him, with various powerful words of persuasion.
He also felt helpless; he didn't want to part the lovers, but... some things are truly beyond one's control.
Letting out a sigh, Master Ye stood up to see the two off.
Then, Ye Liangcai came over, and Master Ye said to Ye Liangcai, "Go fetch Yang Chen, and arrange for me to have a comprehensive health checkup, find the best doctor!"
"Yes!" Ye Liangcai nodded, and immediately went out to make preparations.
After a while, Master Ye's guard walked over and whispered a few words into Master Ye's ear.
Upon hearing this, Master Ye frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "Let him come over, I'll wait for him inside."
"Yes!" The person retreated outside.
Soon, someone wearing thick glasses like the bottom of a beer bottle and a lab coat appeared, clearly a research worker, unkempt, and even came out without changing clothes.
If Ye Xin were here, she would instantly recognize that this is the professor.
Normally, the professor seldom leaves the base, and rarely goes out. If Ye Xin saw the professor here, she would be very surprised.
The professor was also anxious inside, somewhat nervous.
The reason he came here was because he received a piece of news, and upon learning of this news, the professor decided to do something for Ye Xin again.
Over the years, he watched Ye Xin grow up bit by bit, noting every step Ye Xin took.
Every piece of equipment, every piece of gear, was designed specifically for Ye Xin by him to ensure her safety.
He treated Ye Xin just like his own daughter.
So now, he must do something.
Entering the room, the professor saw Master Ye sitting on the sofa.
"Elder Ye!" The professor nodded in acknowledgment.
"Professor Qian, you're here, please sit!" Master Ye motioned.
The professor nodded and carefully sat down.
Both were silent, as Master Ye was waiting for the professor to speak.
The professor was waiting for Master Ye to ask questions.
After being silent for a while, the professor finally directly said, "Elder Ye, I'm here for Ye Xin's matter."
"What matter?" Master Ye asked.
The professor said, "You might not know, but the reason Ye Xin returned this time is because she is facing a severe condition, one that requires treatment urgently."
"When did this happen?" Master Ye couldn't help but frown, staring at the professor, concernedly asking.
The professor replied, "Right after the last mission, it's very troublesome. This condition seems like post-traumatic stress disorder, making her extremely agitated, unable to control her emotions, and even prone to attacking those around her. Last time at the base, Ye Xin almost killed our personnel."
"How could this happen!" Master Ye furrowed his eyebrows, straightening up, and stared at the professor.
"I'm not sure either. Later, I created some medication to let Ye Xin adjust her mentality outside. I think it might be a mental stress issue; after all, Ye Xin's life pace is too fast, and it's inevitable to have such problems. The reason she is with Yang Chen is entirely my responsibility."
"Your responsibility?" Master Ye didn't understand how the topic shifted to Yang Chen.
"Yes! It's all because of me!" The professor nodded.
"Because of you?" Master Ye frowned.
He couldn't understand why Professor Qian was speaking up for Yang Chen. From the moment he brought up this issue, Master Ye already knew Professor Qin Na's intent.
Master Ye couldn't understand how excellent Yang Chen must be to have so many people pleading for him.
