Leaving the room, Ye Xin ca up and asked with concern, "Aren't they just training the New Guard? Why are you so angry?"
Yang Chen smiled wryly and said to Ye Xin, "It's not that issue, it's sothing ntal."
"ntal?" Ye Xin was sowhat confused.
Yang Chen didn't explain much and took Ye Xin to Elder Zhuo.
Elder Zhuo seed very happy to see Yang Chen and pulled him over for tea.
How could Yang Chen let Elder Zhuo make tea for him, so he took over and did it himself.
After a few sips, Elder Zhuo asked, "That Gao Hong, is he one of your Guards?"
Yang Chen nodded, "Yes!"
"That kid's not bad!" Elder Zhuo laughed.
Yang Chen shook his head, "A good Guard is trained and even more so self-disciplined; he... doesn't asure up yet!"
"Oh!" Elder Zhuo looked at Yang Chen and laughed, "You're quite demanding then."
"Only those with high standards can live long. Those without high standards shouldn't go to the front line; going there is just sending them to their deaths!"
"What you say makes sense." Elder Zhuo nodded, "But I still think he's good, what's the situation here?"
Yang Chen took a sip of tea, sighed, and said in a low voice, "He joined us in the mission at the border, and the people from the poison snake targeted him, his family was all killed."
Hearing this, Elder Zhuo couldn't help but sigh and said to Yang Chen, "So he's one of those who escaped back then?"
"Yes!" Yang Chen nodded.
"Because of them, you weren't punished lightly either!" Elder Zhuo sighed.
Imagine a trainer watching their Guards leave without stopping them, what would be the result?
This is the Guard, not child's play.
Perhaps for so reasons, one or two might leave, but what about three or four? Five?
Then there must be sothing wrong with the trainer.
Joint responsibility can't be avoided here either.
Thinking of those past events, Yang Chen couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, "It's all in the past!"
After these people left, Yang Chen did withstand a lot of pressure, even stopping the Guard from sending people to pursue responsibility for the five people. For this, Yang Chen had to pay a heavy price.
"What are your thoughts now? Do you want to keep him by your side, send him back to prison to continue serving, or let him go and fend for himself?" Elder Zhuo asked.
Yang Chen glanced at Elder Zhuo, looking conflicted.
Then, Yang Chen shook his head and said, "Do you think I have that kind of authority?"
Elder Zhuo smiled faintly, asking, "I'm just asking what you think now?"
Yang Chen shook his head, "What I think doesn't matter. What's important is I have no right to choose, no right to decide, and I don't want to use your connections. What he did he needs to bear himself. Most importantly... it's about what he thinks."
Hearing this, Elder Zhuo was slightly stunned, pondering over the aning in Yang Chen's words, thinking Yang Chen had his own thoughts, but couldn't guess exactly what.
After a thought, Elder Zhuo tentatively asked, "Xiaochen, if they asked you to retire..."
Yang Chen imdiately shook his head, "No, I don't want to go back."
Elder Zhuo originally wanted to test Yang Chen's opinions, as he had heard so unfavorable rumors recently and wanted to see Yang Chen's thoughts, but didn't expect Yang Chen to refuse so directly, leaving Elder Zhuo a bit at a loss.
Yang Chen poured Elder Zhuo a cup of tea, and softly said, "Uncle Zhuo, everyone has a past, and the past should be let go of, the past shouldn't affect the present, people should always look forward."
Actually, Yang Chen had other hidden concerns.
It's not that he doesn't want to go back, but he cannot go back.
Joining the Guard ans serving in the Guard, swearing lifelong allegiance to Fla Country... in other words, this would bind Yang Chen, taking away his freedom.
If it weren't for Asura Hall, and those brothers in Asura Hall, along with those other brothers internationally working with Yang Chen, he would be willing to continue serving, continue fighting for Fla Country until his death!
But now, it's not possible.
Asura Hall is still waiting for him, his brothers are still waiting for him, so he must return.
Even if he's far away in Lijia Continent or in Asura Hall, he can still serve Fla Country at the sa ti, and Yang Chen has been doing so all these years, with a clear conscience.
Elder Zhuo frowned, staring at the teacup, deep in thought.
After so ti, Elder Zhuo finally looked up and said, "Xiaochen, what I can tell you is, sotis many choices are not within your control. It's not that you want to let things go and they will go. Everyone has their own destiny and mission; these things can't be escaped."
Yang Chen smiled and said, "Mission is mission, this I won't forget, but destiny should be in one's own hands!"
When saying this, Yang Chen was very confident, as if he really held destiny in his own hands.
Elder Zhuo found himself unable to see through Yang Chen anymore, unable to guess Yang Chen's true aning.
Ye Xin ca over, smiling, and said to Elder Zhuo, "Uncle Zhuo, your bonsais are well taken care of, each one is so vibrant."
Elder Zhuo laughed, stood up, and said, "This is nothing, co co! I'll take you to the backyard to see, my masterpieces are all in the backyard."
These bonsais were Elder Zhuo's pride, and for a mont, he couldn't help but want to show off to the two of them.
...
In the evening, Yang Chen stayed for dinner.
Elder Zhuo personally cooked a couple of small dishes.
Gao Hong naturally stayed to accompany with drinks.
After a few cups, Elder Zhuo and Li Muyang went to rest, leaving Gao Hong and Yang Chen still drinking.
"Co, down it!"
"I toast to you, boss!"
"Toast my ass, just drink!"
"Alright!"
...
The two n, almost to the point of stripping to play gas.
However, the two didn't need to play gas to drink; they talked and drank quickly.
Not long after, they both drank more than a catty.
Yang Chen's eyes were a bit unfocused, Gao Hong swayed, almost unable to sit steadily.
"Boss!" Gao Hong seized the mont of intoxication, grabbing Yang Chen.
Yang Chen was also dazed, head buzzing, holding Gao Hong's shoulder and said, "Brother, speak!"
"Then I'll speak boss!"
"Speak!"
"I've thought about it, you made think, and I have!"
Yang Chen nodded.
"Boss, you're right, I'm not worthy of being a Wolf Fang, I let everyone down, and let you down even more!"
Yang Chen shook his head, "No, as long as you, Gao Hong, are in Wolf Fang one day, you'll be a Wolf Fang for life, a brother for life, don't say such things again!"
Both were drunk, speaking sincerely from the heart.
Hearing this, Gao Hong couldn't help but shed tears, wiping his face and said, "So I thought, boss, for what I've done, I'll bear it, but I still want to say... I long to fight alongside you, even if I'm not worthy of being a Wolf Fang, I want to be a Wolf Leg. Whether or not this wish can be fulfilled, you'll always be my boss, I toast to you!"
After saying this, Gao Hong raised his glass to Yang Chen.
Yang Chen's expression was heavy, picked up his glass, and toasted Gao Hong.
Both drank it all in one go.
