Three years ago, a group of mysterious people annihilated the Ye family. He survived by luck but was thrown into prison, where by chance, he became the disciple of five masters...
Three years...
Gongbu Qiuye nodded and then fell silent.
Night Wind asked, "So, what are you planning to do next? Don't tell me you still want to go back to the Divine Sword Empire. It was one thing if you hadn't seen me yet, but now that you have, how can you leave?"
Gongbu Qiuye hesitated, his heart torn between his thoughts and his inner turmoil.
Ye Feng said earnestly, "How about this, you stay in my Silla City for three days. After three days, you can decide whether to stay or leave. At that time, no matter whether you decide to stay or leave, I will support you."
"And you don't need to worry about the remaining members of the Mountain Ghost Army. I will let them go in three days. Whatever decision you make will not affect them."
Upon hearing Ye Feng's words, Gongbu Qiuye's face showed surprise.
He had assumed that Ye Feng would definitely execute the members of the Mountain Ghost Squad, so he was prepared to plead for them, even at the cost of losing face, to save them.
He was completely taken aback by how easy Ye Feng was to talk to!
"Are you telling the truth? You're not lying to me?" Gongbu Qiuye asked hurriedly.
Ye Feng chuckled and said, "Why would I need to lie to you? The members of the thirty-odd secret unit are mostly low-level martial artists. Is that important? In my eyes, they're no different from ants on the roadside. Why would I bother with them?"
“That’s true. Although I trained them myself, they certainly wouldn’t meet your standards,” Gombu Qiuye nodded.
"That's because you didn't pass on your true skills to them, otherwise their value in my eyes would definitely increase significantly," Ye Feng said.
Gongbu Qiuye shook his head: "It's not that I'm hiding anything, but most of my skills are related to the Tree Spirit Clan. They're not Tree Spirit Clan, so even if I teach them, they wouldn't be able to learn."
"I know, I know, no need to explain... Okay, let's get ready to eat."
As Ye Feng spoke, he clapped his hands, and then the maid Luo Xiaotong ran in with her beloved frying pan.
"What are your instructions, Ancestor?" Luo Xiaotong asked.
"Prepare dinner, and remember to also prepare some fruit and vegetarian dishes; my friend here is a vegetarian," Night Breeze said with a smile.
"Yes, Ancestor!"
Luo Xiaotong answered firmly and then skipped and hopped outside.
Dinner was prepared quickly, and night had already fallen outside.
So Luo Lin, Luo Qing, Xu Pingan, Chen He, Jiang Wei, Zhao Bo, and Zi Jing all came to Ye Feng's tent.
Normally there aren't this many people at dinner, but with Gongbu Qiuye's arrival, Yefeng felt it necessary to introduce him to the more important people in Silla City, so that they could get to know each other.
So Night Wind summoned everyone to his place.
Everyone else was fine, after all, it wasn't the first time they had dined with Ye Feng, a Saint Realm expert, the patriarch of the Luo family, and the first Nanling King.
But Zhao Bo is different.
Zhao Bo was originally just an ordinary civilian, but now he was sitting at the same table as Ye Feng, which made him feel very awkward.
Meanwhile, Gongbu Qiuye was curiously observing everyone at the table.
His attention was mainly focused on Luo Qing, Chen He, Jiang Wei, Zijing, and Zhao Bo.
Luo Qing was clearly a descendant of Ye Feng and a wealthy heiress, but Gongbu Qiuye found it very strange because Luo Qing was covered in dirt and even had oil stains on her body and hands.
Her attire hardly resembles that of a wealthy heiress; she looks more like a tired and busy ordinary woman!
"Why didn't you even wash up before coming over?" Rowling said angrily.
Rowling couldn't help but be angry, after all, besides the Ancestor, there was another person here tonight who also came from seven hundred years ago, and was even a member of the legendary Tree Spirit Clan.
But her own niece was so disrespectful; she had almost completely disgraced the Luo family!
"I'm exhausted. I've been working all day, I don't have the energy to clean up. Let's eat first, and I'll go back and wash up afterward," Luo Qing said, grabbing two large steamed buns with her dirty hands.
Luo Lin sighed repeatedly, holding her forehead, completely helpless with Luo Qing.
Seeing this, Gombu Qiuye felt even more puzzled.
So Gongbu Qiuye asked, "Miss Luo Qing, do you also need to do work?"
"Of course she has to work. She can't just stay in her room all day doing nothing because she's my descendant."
Ye Feng chuckled and continued, "And don't underestimate her. Qing'er is very capable. Although her cultivation level isn't high, currently only at the peak of the Separation and Union Realm, she has many ingenious ideas. There are many very practical gadgets in Xinluo City, all of which were researched and developed by her."
"For example, the Spirit Stone Grenades used by our new legion."
When Ye Feng mentioned the words "spirit stone grenade," Gongbu Qiuye immediately showed interest.
Gongbu Qiuye had already witnessed the infantry soldiers using spirit stone grenades, which was exactly what interested him most.
"You mean that kind of thing that explodes with a bang when you throw it?" Gongbu Qiuye asked.
“Yes, that’s the one.” Night Breeze nodded.
"That thing must be some kind of magical artifact, right?" Gongbu Qiuye asked.
"It is indeed a spiritual artifact, but it is a special kind of spiritual artifact that can be used even by ordinary people. Moreover, our Xinluo City has already achieved mass production of spirit stone grenades."
At this point, Ye Feng looked at Luo Lin and asked with a smile, "Luo Lin, tell Qiu Ye, how many spirit stone grenades can our Xinluo City arsenal produce every day?"
“Three hundred,” Rowling replied.
"What? Three hundred can be produced in a day? Really?" Gongbu Qiuye's face showed disbelief.
Gongbu Qiuye had already witnessed the power of the spirit stone grenade; that thing could even threaten a martial artist in the Divine Travel Realm.
But such a powerful weapon can be produced in 300 units a day, which is simply outrageous!
"This is the power of modern industry. And we're only just getting started, so our output is still not enough. Once we develop further, the output of spirit stone grenades will become even more terrifying!" Ye Feng said with considerable pride.
Luo Qing also looked proud, after all, she was the one who developed the spirit stone grenade.
Although Rowling was involved in the development of the Spirit Stone Grenade, the main credit still goes to her.
"Impressive, Silla City is impressive, and Miss Luo Qing is impressive too," Gongbu Qiuye said sincerely.
"Don't praise her too much, or she'll get arrogant," Rowling said with a smile.
Then Ye Feng looked at Chen He and Jiang Wei and introduced them to Gongbu Qiuye: "These are Chen He and Jiang Wei, both True Yuan Realm martial artists. They are now the Director and Deputy Director of the Security Department of our Xinluo City."
