The old chief looked at Zhou Qinghe and said softly, "How do you know that person is so arrogant? How do you know that person doesn’t respect me?"
Zhou Qinghe paused, and suddenly cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
He realized that he might have spoken out of turn.
However, what’s spoken is like spilled water, it always needs to be rounded back.
Zhou Qinghe quickly explained, "Think about it, you are who you are, and he’s just a minor Yang Chen, how could he refuse your request! You are the old chief, leader of Flame Country, in ancient times, you were like..."
"It’s different!" The old chief sternly said, "That was ancient times! Ancient emperors were above all, were to be everyone’s master. Our new era is different, our leaders are public servants, they are supposed to serve the people. Your analogy is very inappropriate!"
"Yes, yes, I misspoke, the analogy was very inappropriate!" Zhou Qinghe hurriedly replied.
The old chief shot Zhou Qinghe a cold glance, then said softly, "But, you said he’s just a minor Yang Chen, that statement is also inappropriate. Do you know Yang Chen’s status?"
Zhou Qinghe shook his head, "I don’t know."
The old chief slowly said, "Yang Chen is Elder Zhuo’s godson. Elder Zhuo there... is a comrade and brother to Master Ye, and was a comrade at the same time with my father, they climbed trenches together. So that means when I see Master Ye or Elder Zhuo, I must call them uncle. Therefore, Yang Chen is like a younger brother to me. However, if we count from Master Ye’s granddaughter’s generation, Yang Chen should really call me uncle."
Zhou Qinghe listened to this relationship and couldn’t help but be stunned.
So if that’s the case, Yang Chen’s status is really not simple, and definitely not someone he can provoke.
"Now I understand," Zhou Qinghe said with his head down.
"Understand?" The old chief smiled at Zhou Qinghe and asked, "What do you understand?" Read complete versıon only at 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⚫𝙣𝙚𝙩
Zhou Qinghe said, "Let Yang Chen rest first, and we’ll talk later."
"So you’re suggesting I wait for him?" the old chief retorted.
"Uh!" Zhou Qinghe was completely lost in understanding the chief’s meaning this time.
After thinking briefly, Zhou Qinghe said, "I think Yang Chen is still in the wrong. Since he’s discharged from the hospital, it shows there’s no major issue. What’s the harm in him coming by our artificial sea? No matter how busy he is, he can’t be busier than you!"
The old chief chuckled lightly, picked up his book, and said indifferently, "Continue observing. Wait until he’s healed, then notify him to come over."
"Yes!" Zhou Qinghe wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said.
Yang Chen said, "Help me prepare the retreat room first, I’ll be there soon."
"Alright!" Master Ye stood up and said to Ye Liangcai, "Liangcai, go and get some people to tidy up the secret room, clean it up."
"Yes!" Ye Liangcai nodded.
Master Ye then said to Ye Kai, "Ye Kai, Liangdong, both of you come with me!"
He felt it was time to tell Ye Kai and Ye Liangdong some things, to prevent them from causing any trouble for him.
After the few from the Ye family left, Jian Feng walked in.
Yang Chen glanced at Jian Feng and said, "It’s about time for you to return to your team, right?"
"Waiting for you!" Jian Feng smiled at Yang Chen and said, "I’ll return whenever you return!"
Yang Chen shook his head, "Don’t be ridiculous, you’re the captain now. If you don’t return, what happens to their training? You’re responsible for the whole of Dragon Tooth."
"That was before!" Jian Feng stared at Yang Chen and said, "Now that you’re back, this responsibility naturally falls on you. The Dragon King is always our instructor in the Dragon Tooth!"
Yang Chen shook his head, "I’m not going back."
Jian Feng paused and asked, "Why?"
Yang Chen stared at Jian Feng and said, "You should understand, the reason Flame Country could grow strong is due to inheritance. The power of inheritance is great. Now you’ve become the instructor of Dragon Tooth, you should take on this responsibility, do well with what I have passed down to you! Even surpass me!"
Jian Feng shook his head, "Impossible, no one can surpass you! You’re forever a god in our hearts!"
"No one is insurmountable!" Yang Chen said solemnly, "My inheritance comes from Zhuo Jingyu, Brother Zhuo. I inherited Brother Zhuo’s spirit, guiding you to become a stronger Guard, surpassing Brother Zhuo. And you’ve inherited my steps, what you need to do now is lead Dragon Tooth to surpass my existence!"
Jian Feng still shook his head, adamantly saying, "Without the Dragon King, there is no Dragon Tooth!"
"Nonsense!" Yang Chen scolded, "This isn’t the time to act on impulse!"
He won’t return to Dragon Tooth anymore, nor does he want to involve these brothers, and he won’t go back.
Jian Feng’s attitude made Yang Chen feel helpless and angry.
"No Dragon King, no Dragon Tooth!" Jian Feng stared at Yang Chen, articulating each word firmly as if refusing to be denied.
Yang Chen furrowed his brow and angrily said, "Are you defying my command?"
"If necessary! Then defy!" Jian Feng confidently replied.
"You!" Yang Chen looked at Jian Feng’s firm appearance, wanting to reprimand him but unable to say a word.
The brothers of Dragon Tooth, without needing to say anything, Yang Chen knew exactly how they thought.
However, he truly cannot return!
"Why?" Jian Feng asked, "Can you tell me why?"
Yang Chen fell silent.
Jian Feng said, "Is it because of Asura Hall?"
Yang Chen gave Jian Feng a surprised glance.
He didn’t expect Jian Feng to know about Asura Hall, although Meng Po exposed it, basically no one knew what Meng Po and the people of Asura Hall looked like.
Jian Feng said indifferently, "Don’t worry, it was Meng Po who told me, and I will definitely keep it confidential."
Yang Chen breathed a sigh of relief, thought for a moment, and slowly nodded.
Jian Feng showed a look of understanding and said solemnly, "Why? Are you going to give up on us for Asura Hall?"
"It’s not giving up!" Yang Chen sighed and said solemnly, "Jian Feng, why can’t you understand! I’m not returning to Dragon Tooth because behind Dragon Tooth is Flame Country, no matter what, you always have support. If you ever encounter any difficulties or anything else while on missions abroad, the country will immediately step in to help or protect you! But what about them? Behind them, there’s only me! I’m their pillar!"
Jian Feng fell silent upon hearing this.
Just as Yang Chen had said.
There was once a time when they encountered difficulties on a mission abroad and requested support from the country when the embassy immediately dispatched a plane, taking them away under the enemy’s eyes.
Now everything they have was fought by their own hands, and they’re not accepted by any country. If anything were to go wrong, death would be their only fate.
In comparison, Asura Hall needs Yang Chen’s presence more.
Jian Feng stared at Yang Chen and said, "The Dragon King is still our Dragon King, the Asura King is their Asura King, there is no conflict! Even if you don’t return to Dragon Tooth, you’re forever our king!"
Yang Chen fell silent.
"I’ll be waiting for you outside." Jian Feng sighed and left, leaving Yang Chen pondering alone.
