Looking at the fingers stretched out before him, on which were a gold ring and a silver ring, the old man asked curiously, "Is this really something that no one else can use?"
"That's right! Unless I'm gone, anyone who wants to gain value from me will basically be unable to do anything with me. Besides, after so many years, I've already used up the little bit of stuff inside. Anyone who investigates me carefully will consider whether to value the ring directly or me personally."
"Then, what if others don't care about your own value and just want your ring?" The old man's smile fell.
Zhou Xiang shrugged, "Then I'll just leave it to fate! My life has been more valuable than anyone else's, so it doesn't matter. However, I believe that if someone like me died so easily, it would be a huge shock, right?
Moreover, would the person who wanted my ring dare to reveal it so easily? Wouldn't that be like admitting that he harmed me? If this person is not from Long Country, that would be even better. Long Country could just uphold justice and get the ring back.
Ultimately, I would rather this ring fall into the hands of even the most disliked Dragon Clan member than end up in a foreign country."
The old man's smile brightened again. "Well, you have a strong sense of national honor. It's a pity that you could pass this on to your two children. They would be more valuable."
"I want to, too!" Zhou Xiang's face was filled with regret, and he truly regretted it in his heart. "To be selfish, if I give it to them, they can carry a lot of life-saving supplies. No! I still have to find a way."
"Wife!"
"aunt!"
Ling Ran and Zhou Yan both screamed in surprise.
"Aunt?" The old woman looked up at the young man standing by the back door. "Is he your nephew Zhou Yan?"
"Yes." Zhou Xiang waved to his nephew.
Zhou Yan walked over, bowed slightly, and said respectfully, "Hello, leaders."
The serious-faced old man looked Zhou Yan up and down for a long time before speaking, "It's such a waste for you to be an ordinary person with all your martial arts skills."
The smiling old man also said: "Yes! What a pity, otherwise..."
"Leader," Zhou Yan raised his head and interrupted the smiling old man, "I don't want to be constrained, especially for people like us with high martial arts skills. The vast sky and the sea are what we yearn for. But I am a Dragon Countryman after all, so when Dragon Country needs me, I will definitely not back down."
"Good, good!" The serious old man nodded in praise. "That's well said! We had this plan when we first brought the Kong family back. Now, with you and Kong Qianchen in Dragon Country, the external deterrent effect is quite significant."
"Thank you for the compliment, leader." Zhou Yan stood up straight and said calmly, "The day before yesterday, I brought Captain Shao Zhengyi into another door. He also confirmed through fighting with his teammates that he had entered a realm different from that of ordinary flesh, just like..."
Zhou Yan glanced at his aunt and saw an encouraging smile on her face. He continued, "Just like the two bodyguards, Lü Jing and Lü Ying, beside your aunt. Although their skills are far inferior to mine and my cousin's, they are incomparable to any other member of the special team. Just like the fighting power of my two cousins, Ling Xiaoyi and Ling Xiaoyuan, they all practice the same kind of kung fu, a folk martial art found in the Kong family, which can cultivate internal energy."
Oh? Both old men were surprised. Can you cultivate internal energy?
"Xiao Zhang!" the serious old man immediately shouted at the gate of the courtyard.
"Here!" A young soldier came in from the gate.
"Go and tell Shao Zhengyi to come over immediately, and then call the bodyguards on duty in the backyard as well."
"yes!"
Seeing that the serious old man had finished his instructions, the smiling old man asked, "Can you make a large quantity?"
"No," Zhou Yan shook his head, "It depends on talent. The older you get, the less suitable you are. Even if you have talent, it will be very slow. As for Shao Zhengyi, I took him with me several times when I was free. It took a lot of effort to get him started. In the later stages, he still needs to practice slowly. I don't know when he will be able to fly over the eaves and walk on the walls.
The Lü Jing sisters learned this technique when they were around 20 years old, and they are both very talented, so it is impossible to spread it throughout the entire army. In order to quickly form this special team, a large-scale screening is necessary."
"This kid is smart!" The serious old man finally smiled, "He guessed my plan right away."
"Hehe," Zhou Yan scratched his head sheepishly. "All men have a heroic dream. That's what Shao Zhengyi said, and I feel the same way. Just like I'm still not satisfied with my current martial arts skills, judging by Shao Zhengyi's attitude, I suspect he might have this plan later. Since I can meet directly with the two leaders today, why not just say it directly? It'll be faster than him handing it over, right?"
"Right!" The serious old man nodded in agreement. "Your brain still makes me feel it's a pity to be an ordinary person. However, I want to hire you as the coach of this new team that is about to be established. You won't refuse, right?"
"No!" Zhou Yan had already felt his aunt's joy, so he agreed without even looking at her.
"Okay! Hahaha," the serious old man finally laughed out loud, "When Shao Zhengyi arrives, after testing his skills, the three of us will discuss how to form a team."
Shao Zheng arrived very quickly because he was on his way, and the bodyguards also arrived quickly.
When he saw Shao Zhengyi, Zhou Yan blinked at him repeatedly, leaving Shao Zhengyi confused.
It wasn't until he was ordered to compete with the bodyguards that he understood Zhou Yan's intention. Well, since his good brother had started it for him, let him do it! It just so happened that the competition with those teammates wasn't exciting enough.
Everyone moved outside the courtyard, as the space inside was naturally not big enough.
The bodyguards didn't take Shao Zheng seriously at first. After all, those they chose were the best of the best.
But after two moves, they had to get serious. After the first one was defeated, Shao Zhengyi suggested that two bodyguards attack together.
This time, even though the two bodyguards used all their skills, they were still tied with Shao Zhengyi.
"Good!" The serious old man clapped his hands. "Good, good, good, great. Zhou Yan, you mean Shao Zhengyi has just entered the first level, right?"
"Yes!"
"Alright," the serious old man waved his hand, "everyone, disperse! Zhengyi and Zhou Yan, come with us to the conference room. Zhou Xiang and Ling Ran, you two can just walk around here and enjoy the scenery. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
"yes."
"good."
Zhou Xiang and Ling Ran returned to the courtyard first because some soldiers had already brought them breakfast.
"Alas!" Zhou Xiang had no appetite and only drank half a bowl of porridge. "Yan'er worked so hard for us. I regret it now. I should have kept quiet and made a fortune!"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Ling Ran scolded his wife. "I think he likes it. All men dream of being heroes, but men also want to achieve great things. The Kong family is already a business family, so management is effortless. Now, he can become a coach, which is more prestigious than the head of the entire team. Don't worry about it. Have you ever seen anyone living a happy life at the bottom of society?"
