Li Xin laughed when he heard this, but still filled the empty cup.
He said, "You are really a straightforward person."
The bearded man nodded and smiled, "Originally, what kind of person do you think I should be?"
Li Xin put down the teapot and said, "Before you came, I thought it wouldn't be an old man, but I didn't expect it would be a young man like you."
Although the bearded man looked a bit rough, with a face full of beard, a thin body and a tan, Li Xin could tell at first glance that he was a man of no more than thirty years old.
Thirty years old is not considered old in itself, not to mention that this bearded man is a C-level psychic.
Compared to the lifespan of a C-level psychic, thirty years old seems even younger.
Upon hearing this, the bearded man first finished the milk tea in his cup, then burst into laughter and said, "Compared to your surprise at me."
"I am more impressed by your age."
The bearded man looked at Li Xin in astonishment and said, "I've seen the Blueprint Garrison's operations over the past few months."
"I suspect that Blueprint's new chief of defense will be a middle-aged or older veteran, experienced and exceptionally calm."
“But I didn’t expect that the head of defense for Yadun this time would be a young man in his twenties.”
“It really exceeded my expectations.”
After the bearded man finished speaking, he extended his hand and said to Li Xin, "I am Ahmed."
Li Xin smiled slightly, reached out and shook Ahmed's hand, and said, "I am Li Xin."
Ahmed felt the vast spiritual energy in Li Xin's body, which was stronger than his own, but his expression remained unchanged.
Li Xin asked, "Are you a natural born psychic?"
Ahmed nodded and said, "Yes, I awakened to myself when I was thirteen."
Li Xin smiled and said, "This must be a wonderful experience."
Ahmed sighed and said, "It's not that surprising, because my awakening and the burst of spiritual energy have made our already poor family even poorer."
Li Xin said, "Tell me your story."
Ahmed smiled and said, "I don't have any stories. I was born and raised among the mountain warriors until now."
"Now, you want to recruit us mountain warriors. I'm curious and want to ask why?"
"You should have heard the stories of our mountain warriors."
Li Xin nodded. "Yes, I've heard about your deeds. You took advantage of Rhodes Power and then defected."
Ahmed laughed out loud: "Yeah, that was quite a feat!"
He then asked, "Since you know this story, why are you willing to recruit us?"
"I think you should exclude us from the scope of recruitment."
Li Xin shook his head and said, "You are wrong. I invited you precisely because I admire you."
"I'm different from the others. I believe that if you're willing to join me, you won't regret it and won't defect again!"
Ahmed stroked his beard and asked, "Why do you have such an idea?"
Li Xin smiled slightly: "Because I really want the Yadun region to become peaceful, so that the residents can live in a stable environment."
"Young people can work, older people can take care of themselves, and young people can go to school."
"I will build factories, hydroponic farms, schools, and hospitals here to make Yadun truly better!"
Ahmed shook his head and said, "I don't believe it."
"Why?" Li Xin asked.
Ahmed said: "Isn't this strange? Because every ruler who conquered the Yadun region said so, but no one actually did it."
He stared into Li Xin's eyes and said word by word, "Whether it's Rhodes Power, Locke Kingdom, or your Blueprint, it's all the same."
Li Xin also stared into his eyes and responded, "That's because I didn't come."
"The blueprint used to see this place as a quagmire, so there would be no investment. But now it's different. Under my governance, peace is slowly returning here."
"A stable area is the foundation for investment and construction. Once the situation is opened up, there will be a steady influx of investment!"
"You should know that the schools, hospitals, and factories in the central city of Yadun are already under construction."
"Those 20,000 young people are working for the development and construction of Yadun under my command!"
Ahmed nodded and said, "I know what you are doing, which is why I came to see you."
"But how long can you hold on? You young people with deep backgrounds in Blueprint are just using this as a stepping stone. Maybe in a year or two, you'll be promoted and leave."
Ahmed stared at Li Xin and said, "When you're gone, who will guarantee peace in Yadun? And how many of your successors will be willing to follow the plans and systems you leave behind?"
"Everything will return to its original trajectory, with rebels everywhere and Aden once again becoming a quagmire."
Li Xin couldn't help but burst into laughter when he heard this. He almost laughed to the point of tears. After a long while, he said, "It seems that you don't understand me."
"Although I am young, I have no background."
"I was able to obtain this position because of my military achievements and the merits I earned through risking my life."
Li Xin pointed to the ceiling in the room and said, "In the blueprint, this is already the ceiling for a young man like me with no background."
"Even if I want to transfer, where can I find a place to stay?"
"I was able to come to Yadun because this place is a quagmire. Officers with real connections would not come here."
Ahmed could sense the sincerity in Li Xin's words through his psychic power.
Li Xin said seriously: "I will stay in Yadun for a long time, so I want to run Yadun seriously."
"In the eyes of others, Yadun is a quagmire of war, with countless rebels and hostile forces on the periphery. The future is clear at a glance, and it is a bleak one."
"But for me, Yadun is a treasure land. The reason why Yadun is in such a mess now is because the geographical environment is too important!"
"I believe that under my governance, Yadun will become better. I can't leave Yadun, so I will make Yadun's level higher!"
"So, do you understand what I mean?"
Ahmed looked at Li Xin, picked up the cup and drank the milk tea in it.
After a long moment, he looked at Li Xin intently and said seriously, "You're really a lunatic!"
"You will lead Yadun to an unspeakable abyss!"
