Seeing this scene,

Li Wancheng's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

What's going on??

Why did the Left General of the Military Headquarters suddenly bow to Ye Ran?

What exactly did I miss?

At this moment, Li Wancheng, clutching his forehead, asked with a bewildered and shocked expression:

"Boss, what are you talking about? Isn't this kid Ye Ran?"

"Shut up!!"

Ye Shaoguo glanced at Li Wancheng.

Go find somewhere cool and stay there!

Li Wancheng, who had been glanced at by Ye Shaoguo,

He took a few steps back, looking rather disgruntled.

Space was left for Ye Ran and Ye Shaoguo...

At this moment, Ye Ran,

Seeing Ye Shaoguo bowing respectfully before him,

Suddenly, I felt a bit awkward and lost...

He hurriedly stretched out his hand and said to Ye Shaoguo:

"General Ye, there's really no need for that, there's really no need..."

Seeing Ye Ran supporting him

Ye Shaoguo suddenly froze.

He looked up at Ye Ran in astonishment.

Upon closer inspection,

This Ye Ran is indeed quite different from the one who wiped out Zhuge Lang with a flick of his finger.

"You...you are Ye Ran??"

Ye Shaoguo asked,

While supporting Ye Shaoguo, Ye Ran said, "General Ye, please don't joke around. Who else could I be but Ye Ran?"

Seeing Ye Ran's affirmative reply,

Ye Shaoguo slowly straightened up and asked, puzzled:

"And what about Lord Zhuge...?"

"Him..." Ye Ran recalled the scene of Zhuge Shan kicking him out of the consciousness space.

He said irritably, "That old man's gone for a nap..."

"You mustn't say that about Lord Zhuge!!" Hearing Ye Ran say this,

Ye Shaoguo quickly stopped Ye Ran from continuing.

He then gave Ye Ran a deep look: "So, you and Lord Zhuge are...?"

Ye Ran looked at Ye Shaoguo, thought for a moment,

He casually remarked, "It's more or less the relationship between a landlord and a tenant."

Ye Ran's words made Ye Shaoguo's lips twitch.

Who is Zhuge Shan?

That was one of the founders of the Dragon Kingdom.

One of the ruthless figures who stood at the pinnacle of all things during that chaotic era.

He killed so many that even gods and demons dared not casually utter his name...

Under the whole world,

Ye Ran is probably the only one who would dare to say that such a person is his tenant...

But Ye Ran said it that way,

Zhuge Shan, within the divine consciousness, surprisingly chose to remain silent.

This means that Zhuge Shan accepts Ye Ran's attitude towards him.

This kind of treatment

Perhaps even Zhuge Shan's own son never enjoyed this...

For a moment, Ye Shaoguo gazed intently at his young nephew.

He sighed.

"I thought that by showing you enough sincerity, you would choose to join the military, but it seems I was wrong..."

Hearing Ye Shaoguo say this,

Ye Ran also replied:

"General Ye is joking. I am a major general in the Dragon Kingdom's military, so naturally I am a part of our military."

Hearing Ye Ran say this,

Ye Shaoguo's face relaxed considerably. He waved his hand and said, "Alright, I'm not someone who doesn't understand the bigger picture. It's enough that you have a heart for the military."

Then, he looked at Ye Ran:

"By the way, what brings you to the military headquarters this time?"

Ye Ran looked at Ye Shaoguo and said:

"Originally, the senior wanted to come back and visit old friends, but now it seems he's lost that intention..."

Then, Ye Ran turned towards the direction of Dragon Kingdom Battle Mountain and said:

"General Ye, given the major incident at Zhanshan today, there shouldn't be any tourists here anymore. I wonder if it's possible to completely impose martial law on Zhanshan?"

Listening to Ye Ran's request,

Ye Shaoguo looked at him, puzzled: "What do you want to do?"

Ye Ran, with anticipation in his eyes, spoke:

"I want to try something to see if it really works..." Then, he turned to Ye Shaoguo and patted his chest:

"General Ye, I assure you, I will absolutely not harm Zhan Shan."

"You are someone recognized by both Lord Zhuge and the military; that goes without saying..."

Ye Shaoguo looked at Ye Ran, and after a moment of contemplation,

Then he waved his hand:

"Li Wancheng, come here!!"

Upon hearing Ye Shaoguo call him, Li Wancheng rushed over eagerly.

"Boss, you were looking for me?"

Ye Shaoguo looked at Li Wancheng and gave the order:

"Go to the military headquarters and get a company of troops to surround Zhanshan. Don't let anyone in."

Upon hearing Ye Shaoguo's order,

Li Wancheng gave a respectful military salute: "Yes, sir!!"

Ye Shaoguo then added to Li Wancheng's statement:

"Do a good job. Once this is done well, you won't have to go to the mountain to defend anymore!"

Hearing Ye Shaoguo say this, Li Wancheng became even more excited, and he said excitedly:

"Alright!! Don't worry, boss!! With me guarding Zhanshan, not even a fly will be able to get in!!"

"I'll go and gather the troops right now!!" With that, Li Wancheng turned and charged towards the military headquarters.

Their eagerness was so great that they even resorted to earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magic or technique).

In the blink of an eye, they vanished without a trace.

Watching Li Wancheng's departing figure, Ye Ran smiled and said, "It seems General Li hasn't had a pleasant time at Zhanshan these past few days..."
