Chen Wuxin remained silent for a moment.

Then, he respectfully bowed to Ye Ran with his hands clasped together.

Then he quietly left.

Watching Chen Wuxin's retreating figure,

Li Wancheng couldn't help but speak up:

"Isn't that a bit too harsh...?"

"harsh??"

"For gifted individuals, seeking advantage and avoiding harm is simply a long-established habit..."

Ye Ran listened to Li Wancheng's words,

He shook his head.

Then, gazing into the distance, his thoughts drifted, and he murmured:

"I've met someone who is far more talented than him, but he doesn't know how to seek advantage and avoid harm..."

Listening to Ye Ran's words,

Li Wancheng opened his mouth, but didn't say anything in response....

Ye Ran squinted at Chen Wuxin's departing figure and said nonchalantly:

"Let him be. With his unintentional wisdom, he will figure it out..."

Subsequently,

Ye Ran turned to look at Qin Lao:

"You're about to give up, aren't you?"

Qin Lao, supporting Qin Lang's shoulder, grinned:

"I can handle it, I can handle it again!!"

His legs were still weak.

But for the first time ever, he was incredibly stubborn.

This kind of fighting spirit that shines through one's bones...

The two are Qin Laoruo, who previously cried and begged for help at TACC.

Ye Ran smiled slightly at Qin Lao.

At this moment,

Ye Ran could see clearly,

Supernatural abilities began to sprout within Qin Lao's body...

"Take your brother home. If he doesn't rest soon, his legs will be ruined."

"But....."

"General Li and I will handle what happens next. Rescuing the wounded and returning home does not count as desertion."

Qin Lang turned to look at Li Wancheng.

Li Wancheng nodded as well.

Qin Lang then gave a military salute: "General Li, Teacher Ye, I'll head back now."

As he spoke,

Qin Lang carried Qin Lao on his back, preparing to leave.

Qin Lao lay on Ye Ran's back, seemingly hesitating for a long time.

I couldn't help but speak up:

"Teacher Ye, do you still stand by my side as you said before?"

Ye Ran looked at Qin Lao and suddenly smiled:

"It's settled. After this, you'll come with me."

Qin Lao looked at Ye Ran and grinned.

Then Qin Lang and Qin Lao disappeared as a line of blood.

...

On the way back,

Qin Lang suddenly asked Qin Lao:

"Brother, why do you, an ordinary person, insist on following Teacher Ye Ran around?"

Qin Lao shook his head, dodging the howling wind, and said:

"Good brother, did you really only learn boxing in the military? Do you remember what Teacher Ye asked me?"

Qin Lang thought for a moment and then said:

"Teacher Ye asked you where the restroom is."

"...Little brother, you should continue practicing boxing."

Qin Lao said helplessly.

Then, he lay on Qin Lang's back, stretched out his palm, and silently recalled what Ye Ran had told him:

"If you were really given a chance to unlock advanced martial arts, what would you do?"

Qin Lao muttered to himself, repeating his answer:

"It won't be a waste..."

As Qin Lao spoke,

His palms suddenly began to steam.

The chubby hands instantly became bony and strong...

For a moment, a sharp glint flashed in Qin Lao's eyes.

That's right, Teacher Ye realized his untapped potential during his time at TACC...

Such a talent scout should absolutely not be missed...

........

Just after Qin Lang and the other person left,

Only Li Wancheng and Ye Ran remained beside the deep pit.

"What do we do now? They've all self-destructed, and the trail has gone cold..."

Li Wancheng looked at Ye Ran.

Ye Ran looked at the mess:

"It wasn't all for naught; at least we learned that this matter is related to a genetic modification program by the military."

“You’re right. Let’s go back now, report to General Ye, and begin an investigation within the military.”

"Wait a moment."

Ye Ran suddenly called out to Li Wancheng and then asked:

"Even if we investigate internally now, it will probably be very difficult to find anything based solely on a gene modification program..."

Hearing this, Li Wancheng frowned:

"What should we do then? We really have no other leads..."

"Clues?? It's not necessarily completely impossible... Do you remember what the 'vaginal tube' said before it died?"

Listening to Ye Ran's words,

Li Wancheng lowered his head in thought, muttering to himself, "Free market??"

Ye Ran nodded and continued his analysis:

“Besides the military, there should be something we want in this free market.”

Hearing Ye Ran say this, Li Wancheng frowned:

"But the forces in the free market are complex and intertwined, and it's not a place we can just investigate whenever we want."

Ye Ran remained silent for a moment.

Then he turned his head to look at Master Jiu on his shoulder:

"Do you know that kid who sold military technology at the free market before?"

Upon hearing this,

Li Wancheng turned his head and stared intently at Master Jiu.

It seems he really harbors a deep grudge against that kid who sold military equipment...

Li Wancheng's locked aura startled Ninth Master.
