"Can someone explain this image to me?"
A still kind voice came from above.
Shi Feng's body tensed instantly.
When he just reported, he actually avoided the important issues and downplayed the point of resolving the contradictions in the whole incident. He only emphasized the Rakshasa formation and the old foreign building, as well as the connection with foreign forces.
He thought that the higher-ups would only care about international events like this, but he never expected that they would target the disappearance of the old Western-style building right from the start.
"This matter was indeed resolved with the help of Master Ye Lan, but she herself came from the Xuanmen and was a specially hired personnel of a special department, so it was also her duty." Shi Feng gritted his teeth and took the responsibility on himself, because he knew very well.
No matter what purpose these senior executives had in noticing Ye Lan, it was not a good thing.
Because it is very likely that they will need Ye Lan.
As expected, the leader simply responded with a noncommittal sound, then turned his gaze to the young girl at the side. "What do you think, Miss Ye? I heard that not long ago, you became a disciple of the Xuan Sect, the foremost sect in the ancient martial arts world."
What?
Shi Feng, who was sitting at the table, was stunned for a moment and looked at the girl in disbelief.
He only knew that the other party was a master of Xuanmen and had powerful magic, but he didn't expect that he was also connected with the ancient martial arts world.
With the identity of Xuanzong's disciple added, the girl's weight in this conference room obviously changed.
Ye Lan, who had remained silent all this time, only stepped forward slowly at this moment.
She walked slowly to the table, pulled out a chair and sat down in front of so many important people, with a faint smile on her young and delicate face.
"I was the one who killed the snake demon and broke the Rakshasa formation. Let's talk straight."
She openly admitted what she had done and did not hide her strength at all. After all, these things could not escape the eyes of these old foxes, and there was no point in hiding them.
Several generals on both sides of the table were dissatisfied with her contemptuous attitude and frowned slightly.
The leader laughed.
"You're a very straightforward girl." He expressed his admiration for Ye Lan like a gentle elder, and asked directly, "This world situation may involve foreign forces, or even forces supported by some countries. In your opinion, what should we do?"
Such questions should not be asked to an eighteen-year-old girl who has not yet entered society or even attended college.
But the other party asked it anyway, and asked it as the head of state.
Everyone's attention instantly fell on her.
Shi Feng, who was still standing at the back, had cold sweat on his forehead, fearing that the girl would not be able to leave the conference building if she gave a wrong answer.
However, Ye Lan seemed unaware of anything. He tapped his fingers lightly on the table, his clear black and white eyes staring calmly at the person above him. After a moment, the corners of his lips curved slightly, and he said coldly, "Anyone who invades our territory will be punished, no matter how far away they are."
"Good!" the leader shouted, and the table was slammed loudly, clearly extremely satisfied with the answer. He even laughed out loud with joy and praised the general next to him, "See? This is the new generation of our country, with backbone, righteousness, and even more ability."
The other people at the table also nodded, their expressions softened, and they were slightly satisfied with Ye Lan.
Only Shi Feng, who was standing behind, had a frown on his face, looking worried.
As the saying goes, the tallest tree catches the most wind. Those in power will never be idle and bored enough to summon a little girl to listen to her lofty ambitions and ideals.
And in fact, his guess was not wrong.
After discussing the dangers of the Rakshasa Formation and the snake demon, the leader sighed. "Since the founding of our nation, we've known that there are things in this world that cannot be explained by common sense and science. However, for the sake of social stability and for the people to live a down-to-earth life, we have to conceal these things and even suppress some forces. I believe you have heard about this when you went to the ancient martial arts world."
The other party suddenly brought up the past and the actions that covered up the true face of history, as if trying to make others empathize with his helplessness.
Ye Lan also nodded at the right time to show his understanding.
It's the general trend.
After the road to immortality disappeared, the spiritual energy in the world became thin, and ancient warriors had long since degenerated into a minority. The world always operates according to the principle of minority obeying the majority, and such a result is understandable.
"Since you've joined the special management department and are contributing to the people, I know you're a sensible and good kid." The leader showed a hint of relief on his face, then changed the subject and asked, "So, in this case, are you willing to contribute to the country again?"
Here it comes.
Shi Feng's heart skipped a beat and he couldn't help but take a step forward, wanting to speak up for Ye Lan.
No matter how capable she is, she is only eighteen years old this year and is a little girl with no experience. Going to a place abroad where there are killers, spies, artillery and weapons everywhere is a dead end.
However, the boss at the bottom immediately glared at him and told him not to interfere.
Shi Feng knew that obedience was the most important thing, but he felt very upset inside and even impulsively wanted to pull Ye Lan up and leave.
But at this moment, Ye Lan in his seat chuckled.
"What if I refuse?"
What?
Not only Shi Feng, but everyone at the long table was stunned.
"Oh? Why? Don't you want to serve your country?" The leader paused, then looked at Ye Lan with a smile on his kind face, but his eyes were so deep that no one could see the bottom of them.
"Of course I do." Ye Lan didn't deny his desire to contribute, but he said in a cold and calm voice, "But it's too easy to ask me to die with just a few words of encouragement and inspiration."
