"Cut the crap, just tell me, can you handle it or not?" Tang Rao shouted.

"Are you kidding… can I handle it? Let's go!" Han Wanli glared, but Tang Rao always felt there was something else in Han Wanli's eyes.

Tang Rao felt uneasy, wondering if this old Han would encounter setbacks here.

The three of them entered the building quickly.

There were quite a few people coming and going in the building, men and women alike, each dressed in military uniform, with a stern and imposing demeanor.

On the top floor, outside an office door, Han Wanli stopped Tang Rao.

"You two wait here for a moment, I'll go in and negotiate," said Han Wanli.

"Alright, then you go in," Tang Rao didn't say much, just took a seat on a nearby bench.

…

Five minutes, ten minutes, fifteen minutes…

Han Wanli still hadn't come out, and the office seemed to have used some special soundproofing device, so Tang Rao couldn't hear the conversation inside.

"I have a feeling this is going south," Li Yuze whispered nearby.

"Even if it goes south, I still have to take you with me. You don't understand, this matter is too important. It concerns the survival of the nation, the safety of Blue Star," Tang Rao said earnestly.

"You're so serious when you joke, Tang Rao…"

"I'm not joking!!"

"…"

"Bang!" Just at that moment, the office door violently burst open, and a figure flew out swiftly, then landed in the corridor. Following that, the office door slammed shut again.

Tang Rao and Li Yuze were both stunned. Was that not Han Wanli?

Thrown out just like that?

Damn, Tang Rao felt he was in trouble now. If they dared to throw out Han Wanli, how powerful must the other party be…

At the very least, in Yan Country, their status wouldn't be lower than Han Wanli's.

"Old Han, you're not dead, are you?" Tang Rao stepped forward and asked.

"I'm fine, I'm fine…" Han Wanli sprang up from the ground, dusting off his clothes, his face full of embarrassment.

"Did you handle it?" Tang Rao asked.

Han Wanli pursed his lips, rolled his eyes, his face full of sorrow.

"This… this matter... it's not that I can't handle it, it's just… this kid is too special. How about you pick someone else," Han Wanli said to Tang Rao.

Tang Rao: "…"

"Old Han, how come you're not blushing? If you can't do it, just say you can't, quit your blabbering, watch me." Since Han Wanli couldn't cut it, he had to take the stage himself.

Not sure who the other person was, probably not someone with a good temper.

"Tang Rao…" Han Wanli stretched out his hand, hesitated to speak.

Bang!

At that moment, Tang Rao had already pushed the door open and went straight inside.

"Han Wanli, I told you, no way, get lost!" Just as Tang Rao entered, he heard a fierce roar.

Uh… a woman?

Tang Rao looked into the room, and in that large office, there sat a woman in military uniform.

Around seventy years old, but looking exceedingly spirited, sitting upright.

"That…" Tang Rao called out.

The person suddenly looked up, their gaze sharp and imposing, their aura powerful.

"Who are you?"

"Uh, me? Tang Rao." Tang Rao replied.

He Ying frowned. Tang Rao, she had just heard Han Wanli mention him – was this the kid who wanted to transfer Li Yuze away?

"Seeing as you're from the Special Ninth Department, I won't hold it against you. Get out of here immediately. Not to mention Li Yuze, you can't take away even a single soldier from this base," He Ying snorted.

Since the other person was being so direct, Tang Rao didn't want to beat around the bush either.

"Anyway, I'm definitely taking Li Yuze with me. If you agree, we can be as close as family; if you don't, then I'll just have to take him by force. Anyway, it's not a big problem for me." Tang Rao shrugged his shoulders.

"Arrogant!" He Ying slammed her palm on the office desk.

"Yeah, I'm just that arrogant, isn't it cool?" Tang Rao said with a smile on his face.

He Ying: "..."

"Get out now, or I'll call someone to throw you out!" He Ying glared at Tang Rao fiercely. After all, she had lived for over seventy years and had never seen such a shameless brat.

To be so arrogant in front of me, He Ying, you've really got some nerve.

"Sure, go ahead and call someone. It doesn't bother me. But you'd better think it over. I am the Chief Instructor of the Special Ninth Department, and you should know what we do. Yes, I am a Cultivator, and a very powerful one at that. To put it bluntly, all the soldiers in this base combined might not be enough for me to fight." Saying this, Tang Rao sat down, crossed his legs, and relaxed.

He Ying was almost made to laugh out of anger by Tang Rao.

This kid really doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. The entire base is not enough for you to fight? You really dare to say anything.

"Since you're so confident, fine, if you can meet my requirements, not just Li Yuze, but any soldier here can be taken away by you," He Ying said to Tang Rao.

"Hey, you said it yourself. Even though you can't be called a gentleman, you're not young either. Don't deceive us young folks," Tang Rao's eyes lit up, and he immediately responded.

He Ying: "..."

"Follow me!" He Ying stood up and walked towards the office door.

She pulled the door open with a snap and stepped out.

Tang Rao followed closely behind.

"Hehe, Xiao Ying ah..." Seeing He Ying come out, Han Wanli immediately started rubbing his hands together with a grin.

He Ying glared fiercely at Han Wanli.

"Xiao Ying, just agree, following Tang Rao, he's surely bound for great things. We've been husband and wife for what, forty or fifty years? Give me some face," Han Wanli continued.

Li Yuze: "..."

Tang Rao: "..."

Han Wanli, so you're her husband, huh? You can't even handle your own family, and here I was trusting you.

"Shut up, Tang Rao right? Come here!" He Ying called out and, without paying any attention to Han Wanli, walked straight outside.

"Notify everyone, all combat personnel assemble at the central battle area, no exceptions. Anyone who isn't there in five minutes won't need to come at all!" He Ying shouted as she walked.

All of a sudden, all the personnel started running, tense yet extremely orderly.

Five minutes later, under He Ying's leadership, Tang Rao and the others arrived at the so-called central battle area.

The place was huge, and at this moment, there were four neat formations, one on each side.

At a glance, there were roughly fifty thousand people.

She doesn't really expect me to take down these fifty thousand people all by myself, does she? Tang Rao flipped his eyelids dismissively. That's so uncreative.

"War Wolf, War Tiger, Cheetah, Hawk Team, all of you, step out!" He Ying shouted.

Instantly, groups of people emerged from each of the four formations.

Each group had around two hundred people, each looking expressionless and utterly ruthless.

"You're so confident? First condition, take down all the people from these four teams," He Ying yelled at Tang Rao.

Tang Rao was quite calm, but the soldiers of those four teams were less so. They were the elite of the elite from the base, and their leader actually wanted all of them to fight one person?

What a joke, is that necessary? How big of a grudge do they have?
