Their hearts had crumbled. ‘Sob, sob!’ They could finally be free of that demon god’s control.
Only God knew how much pressure Ye Lingchen was putting on them by sitting there. Their entire bodies were already soaked in cold sweat and they did not dare to move.
Having to maintain the same posture while aching all over was torturous. Moments ago, they were praying that the people from the Warrior’s Department would come quickly and take them away.
“Brother Ye!”
The person who got off from that off-road vehicle was indeed Lin Ao. Once Lin Ao spotted Ye Lingchen, he immediately walked up and complained slightly, “It’s been a long time since I saw you. You’re finally willing to contact me. You became a superstar after you rejected my offer to join the Warrior’s Department?”
“I did it on a whim,” Ye Lingchen smiled and said.
“It’s such a waste of talent for you to be a superstar!” Lin Ao was very upset and could not get over it. However, he then said, “But your live stream is too awesome. Stuff like giant pythons and old turtles. I’ve seen many strange creatures in the Warrior’s Department all these years, but I’ve never seen anything so scary. How could you not think of me though when you had that giant python’s meat, my heart aches…”
Then, he lowered his voice and said, “Brother Ye, you were the one who defeated the giant python, weren’t you? This old man could tell at a glance. It’s impossible for the giant python to be free of any bite marks if it really was that old tortoise.”
Ye Lingchen touched his nose and did not refute him.
“Damn! You’re so awesome!” Lin Ao looked at Ye Lingchen with a fiery gaze. “Motherf*cker, I remember hearing you talk about inner force previously, but I’m still clueless about it even after so long. It’s irritating! I know that you’ve also accepted an apprentice. Why didn’t you accept me too?”
“Why would you still need me to teach you when you have your grandpa?” Ye Lingchen cocked his eyebrow and looked at Lin Ao with slight hesitation. He then asked, “How’s your Eight Extremities Fist? ”
“The Eight Extremities Fist is my family’s kungfu, so what else is there to say,” Lin Ao replied.
“Well, I’ll teach you the upgraded version of Eight Extremities Fist. If you practice hard, your strength will still be second to none even if you can’t develop your inner force.” Ye Lingchen smiled.
The Eight Extremities Fist was originally learned from the Lin family, and since Ye Lingchen had taught Xu Nan, it was only natural to teach it to Lin Ao.
“How thoughtful, Brother Ye!” Lin Ao flushed with excitement and rubbed his hands in anticipation. “I feel like I’m only one step away from my inner force.”
“By the way, Brother Ye, that old tortoise is a celestial being. You must take good care of it. If you have the time, do invite me over to observe it.”
“Yeah, no problem.” Ye Lingchen nodded. It seemed that Old Tortoise’s existence was noticed by the Warrior’s Department, but because Ye Lingchen himself was a member, no one dared to say anything. Sure enough, there were times where his special status could bring him great convenience.
“It’s really weird. Why are these Earth’s Gate fellas cooperating so well today? They didn’t even dare to let out a single groan. It’s usually very common for them to struggle and curse aloud.” Lin Ao looked at those peerless people from Earth’s Gate Dojo and whispered.
He had no idea that the group of people was so anxious to be escorted away. Deep down, they were probably too depressed having seen Ye Lingchen’s abilities.
At that moment, a martial artist came over and handed a name list to Lin Ao.
Lin Ao merely opened it casually at first, but the next moment, his pupils suddenly widened and he nearly glared his eyes out.
He uttered in disbelief as he clutched the name list. “Koichi? Koji? Are you sure that’s right? ”
The warrior nodded, “You bet. ”
“F*CK!” Lin Ao could not help but utter an expletive. He stared at Ye Lingchen and asked, “Brother Ye, do you know the identity of the people you apprehended this time?!”
Lin Ao had rushed there after receiving a call from Ye Lingchen and had no idea such impressive characters were there. Otherwise, the Warrior’s Department would not have sent Lin Ao there.
“Aren’t they just platinum members? What’s all the fuss about.”
“Just platinum members? Do you know how high-profile a platinum member is? The entire Sun Nation treats them as their gems! Why, you little! You’re too good at pretending!” Lin Ao was overly excited. “Brother Ye, you’re in for a treat. You’ve definitely struck big this time! This is a huge achievement!”
From China’s point-of-view, platinum members were equivalent to a terrifying mobile bomb, one with the potential to explode anytime and anywhere with a power that was unheard of.
Koichi’s apprehension by Ye Lingchen was enough of a cause for the entire Warrior’s Department to celebrate.
“Your title of Middle-Class Warrior has just been conferred, and with your good deeds this time, you can probably be raised to Lower-Class Sentinel!” Lin Ao exclaimed in surprise.
The person in question was a platinum member. Lin Ao may be arrogant, but he knew that he could not withstand even a single punch from them. However, Ye Lingchen easily caught them alive, and when such a comparison was made, the two of them were clearly of completely different levels.
Be that as it may, he felt that it was entirely reasonable after recalling how Ye Lingchen disposed of the giant python.
Lin Ao’s grandfather was the one with a discerning eye. He could tell that Ye Lingchen was no ordinary person at a glance. Though Lin Ao and Ye Lingchen had only parted ways for a short time, it was Lin Ao who now had to look up to Ye Lingchen.
Aware that he had captured high-profile individuals, Lin Ao did not dare to stay too long and was ready to leave as soon as possible.
“By the way, I’d like an island. Can you help me with that?” Ye Lingchen looked at Lin Ao and asked suddenly.
“You want to buy an island?” Lin Ao was slightly surprised. “Are you that rich?”
He then went on to say, “Most people certainly don’t have the capability of buying an island, but you’re different. You’re a member of the Warrior’s Department, and you’ve contributed many meritorious services. Your achievements today are even greater. As long as you become a Lower-Class Sentinel, you’re eligible to buy an island. If you’re really serious about it, I can help you apply for it immediately.”
“That’d be good. I’d have to trouble Big Brother Lin for help,” Ye Lingchen said with a smile.
“It’s no problem. You’re too polite.” Lin Ao waved his hand indifferently. “I’m the one who should thank you for revealing the upgraded version of the Eight Extremities Fist.”
The people from the Warrior’s Department came and left in a hurry. Lin Ao felt that he had tremendous responsibility and his expression turned serious.
Before leaving however, Lin Ao stared at Ye Lingchen very strangely, then said, “My little sister has always been keeping you in her thoughts. You didn’t forget her, did you? ”
After the conversation, he departed quickly without waiting for Ye Lingchen to speak, leaving behind only an ambiguous look in his eyes.
Ye Lingchen could not help but think of the somewhat savage but brave young girl, then shook his head with a wry smile.
‘Am I really that good? I’m surprised so many girls are thinking about me. What a headache…’
