After parting with Song Sisi, Ye Qiu went straight back to his residence.
He had some red wine at Song Sisi's place, but it didn't affect him at all. Once back in his room, he immediately sat on the bed to meditate.
The Formless Skill that Ye Qiu practiced was different from the Formless Divine Skill in Jin Yong's novels. Ye Qiu couldn't specify where this Formless Skill came from, it was a cultivation technique he accidentally obtained during a mission back then, and his current achievements were all credited to this Formless Skill.
"I've been stuck at the Peak of Gang Force for two years now, and this Formless Skill has also been stagnant at the 3rd Layer. If I can break through to the 4th Layer, I should be able to reach the King Realm in one go, right?"
Saying this, Ye Qiu's eyes sparkled.
On earth, the realms of martial artists are documented to comprise six major realms: Bright Force, Dark Force, Transformation, Gang Force, King, and Divinity Ascension. Ordinary bodyguards and special forces or martial arts enthusiasts are generally in the Bright Force stage, and some Soldier Kings can reach the Dark Force, or even the Transformation.
Someone like Ye Qiu at the Peak of Gang Force is undoubtedly the King among Soldiers, revered by countless people as the King of the Huaxia Demon Corps!
"Knock knock knock."
Just as Ye Qiu was lost in thought, there was a knock on his wooden door.
Ye Qiu was surprised. He didn't usually have friends coming over, and the possibility of a visit was unlikely. As for the landlord, that was impossible, as he had paid a year's rent upfront, so the landlord wouldn't come to him for no reason.
With doubt, Ye Qiu opened the wooden door and found an elderly man in his sixties standing at the entrance.
This elder had a square face, thick eyebrows, and big eyes, an appearance quite ordinary, even though he was dressed in very simple clothes, one could still feel a certain authoritative aura from him.
Even if he said nothing, just standing there could make one realize that this elder was extraordinary!
Is it him?
Looking at him, Ye Qiu was momentarily surprised but quickly let go of it. He didn't tell the elder his whereabouts, but for the elder to investigate his identity was a simple task.
Because...he is someone from the Zhang Family of the Imperial Capital! Zhang Aiguo! The second-generation leading figure of the Zhang Family!
"Ye Qiu, long time no see." The moment Zhang Aiguo saw Ye Qiu, a smile immediately appeared on his face.
It was a genuine smile because Ye Qiu was the most outstanding soldier in all of Huaxia, if not for the incident with Prince William, Ye Qiu would still be an idol in the hearts of countless people, and a good War God in the eyes of numerous leaders.
"Chief of Staff Zhang!" Ye Qiu called out briefly as a greeting.
"Not inviting me in for a sit?"
Zhang Aiguo didn't have any airs of a leader, speaking in a very genial manner.
Since Zhang Aiguo phrased it this way, Ye Qiu naturally couldn't keep him outside, so he stepped aside to let Zhang Aiguo into the room.
To be honest, the rented room Ye Qiu was living in now was indeed somewhat shabby.
A small single room, with almost no amenities besides a bathroom, such a setup in Jiangnan City still cost several hundred bucks a month, but that amount was no issue for Ye Qiu.
In those past years, even though Ye Qiu's salary wasn't high, every mission he carried out was an international challenge, each time skirting between life and death!
Therefore, the rewards he received were quite substantial, and moreover, due to his status, he always dealt with those prestigious internationally, hence, Ye Qiu also had a limitless black card, meaning he could overdraft indefinitely.
To say in a somewhat boastful way, money to him was just a string of numbers.
For someone like him to live in such a simple dwelling, perhaps in the eyes of many, Ye Qiu was seen as a weirdo, but in Zhang Aiguo's eyes, it was very normal.
Because, he knew, Ye Qiu wasn't someone who cherished vanity, nor would he place much weight on money.
After pouring Zhang Aiguo a cup of plain water, Ye Qiu spoke, "Chief of Staff Zhang, you didn't come to me just for a cup of water, did you?"
Although Ye Qiu had already guessed Zhang Aiguo's intention, he still played dumb.
Zhang Aiguo being able to sit in his current position was naturally not a fool, he was aware Ye Qiu was feigning ignorance to express his unwillingness to accept the proposal, which made Zhang Aiguo smile wryly, yet, he continued to say:
"Ye Qiu, this matter is critically important, as you know our Huaxia has a certain reputation internationally in the Mercenary Realm, but the Wolf Fang Mercenary Corps don't care, it's clear they are well prepared."
Ye Qiu remained silent, clearly unmoved by this.
This reaction left Zhang Aiguo quite helpless, "This time we deployed several Demon Corps soldiers, but they did not complete the mission, all were severely injured, and this incident even led to the accidental death of several innocent civilians.
This Wolf Fang Mercenary Corps is several times stronger than the intelligence suggested, I feel this matter isn't simple, hence, I still hope you can make a personal move."
These words from Zhang Aiguo made Ye Qiu narrow his eyes.
The Demon Corps was personally nurtured by him, he knew very well the strength of the people inside, yet this time the Demon Corps personnel still couldn't catch the Wolf Fang Mercenary Corps, that indeed was unusual.
After a brief silence, Ye Qiu faintly said, "This Wolf Fang Mercenary Corps is only ranked fifth internationally, the Demon Corps personnel are more than sufficient."
"Ye..."
"Enough, my mind is made up on this matter, stop trying to persuade me, I have already retired, and future military affairs have nothing to do with me."
