"Oh my, Chief, you think too highly of , right? We're talking about the Black Mantis here, soone who went undercover in the Red Butterfly, successfully helped eliminate the Red Butterfly, caused chaos in Japan, single-handedly took down Muto and four of his disciples, and dominated the killer competition, swiftly taking out all the Thunder Fla higher-ups, and even beheaded the boss of the largest assassin organization in M Country, the Cross Society. You think an old guy like in a desk job at Yanhuang Soul can order around soone like that? That's nonsense."
He chuckled... Fan Lingtian was really amused.
Xiaofan truly made him proud. Although not his biological grandson, they didn't treat each other as outsiders. With such achievents, how could Fan Lingtian not be proud too? Just last night, he called Ye Aotian, feeling envious and jealous. How could Third Ye raise such a grandson?
Last night, Ye Aotian was even more smug than Fan Lingtian today.
"You..."
"Hey... let's talk properly, talk properly."
"Number Two, look at how capable this old guy is."
"Well, that's because he has reasons to be proud. Alright, alright, let's not beat around the bush. Let's get to the point."
The mont Number Two spoke, the atmosphere seed to turn serious. Fan Lingtian straightened his back and looked seriously at the other party.
"Alright, Old Fan, tell us, this Black Mantis, hmm, must be the Ye Xiaofan from back then, right? What kind of person is he? Tell everyone about his identity and such," the Chief, whom Fan Lingtian had called, spoke again.
"Don't tell you've never investigated Xiaofan's identity." Just as they agreed to get to the point, Fan Lingtian seed to enjoy arguing with this Chief.
"Whether we've investigated or not is our business. As a representative of Yanhuang Soul, shouldn't you report to us?"
"I'm a representative of Yanhuang Soul? I'm just in a desk job..."
Oh well, the conversation circled back to the sa topic.
"Ahem... Lingtian, be serious. Whatever we've owed you, we'll definitely make it up to you later."
"Yes, Number Two."
"Look at him, creating a fuss even with us." The Chief said displeased.
"You could say a little less too." Number Two pouted. These old brats, as long as they get together, they act carelessly.
"Ahem, alright. Xiaofan is the only child of Third Ye's third son, so he's Third Ye's biological grandson. You all know Third Ye, no need for to explain. Chief, back in the day, he saved your life in the unit, didn't he?"
"I rember, I rember. Keep going." Though the Chief was impatient, speaking of Third Ye, his expression was full of gratitude.
"Third Ye's personal combat power wasn't very strong, but Xiaofan received true teachings from Ren Zhongtian. This story actually starts with Shen Junjie's sister, Shen Zuimo, an A-level warrior of Yanhuang Soul. It was when HLY007 first appeared in our sights. Shen Zuimo was injured with amnesia, and it was then-high-schooler Ye Xiaofan who saved her and brought her back. Before Boss Ren passed away, he rushed to H City, and in his final monts, he transferred his Inner Strength to Ye Xiaofan. Of course, it was just thirty years of power. Later..."
The story grew a bit long, but the ten chiefs sitting in front were all captivated. They were moved by the young man's touching romance, his wisdom, and his unwavering faith.
Originally believed to have perished as a rising talent in the Japan battle, unexpectedly, a year later today, he reappears, bringing a brilliance that illuminates all of Huaxia.
How can this not make the older generation, who looks forward to Xiaofan, proud and proud?
"According to what you say, this Black Mantis is indeed a talent fit to take over as principal of Yanhuang Soul." After hearing the story, the Chief said with slight emotion.
"No, he is the perfect choice for this position. Aside from him, I can't find anyone more suitable." Fan Lingtian quickly interrupted.
"But he's too young and tends to act emotionally, impulsively..."
"As if you guys were never young."
"This..."
Fan Lingtian's words left everyone speechless.
They were all people who had gone through youth, understanding the impulsiveness that cos with it.
"So, with his current abilities and influence, even if he doesn't surpass Boss Ren of the past, isn't he close enough for everyone to consider the Yanhuang Soul principal position...?"
"Lingtian, actually, we're looking for you not to plan on letting Ye Xiaofan take over Yanhuang Soul, because honestly, it's too rushed?" Number Two spoke again.
"Then what is it for?" Fan Lingtian asked puzzled.
"The seventieth-anniversary celebration of the Party is imminent, and while everything else is prepared, there's one matter currently causing us so unease."
"Hmm?" Fan Lingtian waited for more.
"Several countries seem to have agreed simultaneously, all requesting Huaxia to host a young generation fighting match during the celebration. They want to see if Huaxia's talent continues to grow."
"Afraid to lose..." Fan Lingtian was sowhat unrestrained after freedom in Yanhuang Soul. But it was true.
"Ahem, Old Fan, with so many countries watching, we are not afraid to lose; we just want to win." The Chief who argued with Fan Lingtian spoke earnestly.
"Then we should fight with real weapons, right? Or do you doubt the strength of Yanhuang Soul's young generation?" Fan Lingtian asked puzzled.
"It's not that we don't trust, but they specified they want below twenty-five years old. The Four Heroes of Yanhuang are great, but they're a bit overaged. The remaining He Qiang and Lin Hongbin are also good, but..."
"Still afraid to lose, huh?" Fan Lingtian pointed out again.
"Alright, alright, you're right. We just don't want to lose, we want to win. So, if the Black Mantis..."
"No way, he's got important business in M Country." As soon as Xiaofan was ntioned, Fan Lingtian imdiately rejected.
He knew better than anyone, once Xiaofan was on serious business, he couldn't be distracted.
"Are you saying he can't co back for a week or two?"
"Look at what you're saying, if I could order him around then, I wouldn't have let him take HLY007 to Japan?" Lied, since this can't be compared to going to Japan, different nature.
Xiaofan went to Japan because of Zuimo; he had no choice but to go, even if it cost him everything. However, returning to play for the country, and if Fan Lingtian spoke, he wouldn't refuse.
But this old fox, Fan Lingtian, didn't agree readily; his aim was to make the chiefs anxious and gradually negotiate terms. Hehehe...
