145: The fourth ancient god!

"Everyone!" Zuo Qing could no longer endure these stubborn old-timers.

"Great Xia is already at a critical juncture, yet you still have the heart to think about factional disputes!"

"I am the youngest here, and my seniority is the lowest, but conversely, I have the most contact with the front lines!"

"If you haven't reached the point of being old and muddle-headed, then go and see! See those warriors who shed their blood for Great Xia!"

"For the faith of the Night Watcher, even at the risk of their families being ruined, they must guard the front lines."

"I want to ask everyone, are we worthy of those warriors who died on the battlefield, while we argue here?"

Zuo Qing's face was flushed, and he became more and more agitated as he spoke.

Even though these elderly high-ranking officials had seen many storms, being cursed at directly to their faces naturally left a sour taste in their mouths.

Their faces flushed, and they dared not meet Zuo Qing's gaze.

"Enough! Zuo Qing!"

Ye Fan, seeing that the timing was right, stopped Zuo Qing.

"Everyone present is your Senior; they also made outstanding contributions when they were young! The sacrifices they once made are no less than those of the warriors on the front lines."

Bang!

Zuo Qing slammed his fist on the table. Although he was very emotional at the moment, he still listened to Ye Fan and restrained himself, not continuing to speak.

"Forget it, Commander Ye, we won't stoop to the level of a young person," a high-ranking official in a Zhongshan suit said, "Actually, we are not against your opinion. Expanding the combat personnel is fine, but as for the source of these people, I think it would be better if they were jointly recommended by various departments."

As soon as he finished speaking, it immediately drew agreement from many high-ranking officials.

"That's right, this is indeed more reasonable, and it can also take into account the coordination between various departments."

"Indeed, look, after a bit of an argument, a perfect solution emerged, didn't it?"

"Haha, well said!"

Ye Fan looked at everyone, "Since that's the case, then as everyone said, our combat department will be responsible for 40% of the expansion quota, and the remaining 60% will be decided by your departments after discussion. However, everyone must undergo unified training at the Training Camp. Does anyone else have any opinions?"

The other high-ranking officials naturally had no objections. They originally thought Ye Fan would take half of the quota, but they didn't expect this iron-blooded Commander to make a concession.

"I have no objection!"

"Neither do I!"

Soon, everyone unanimously passed the proposal.

"Next, my second proposal: the matter of restarting the Fifth Special Squad needs to be advanced. For the captain's candidate, I have already found a suitable person and would like to bring it up for discussion with everyone at the meeting."

"Oh? The Fifth Special Squad?" An old man in a Tang suit frowned, "May I ask who Commander Ye is recommending?"

"Everyone should be familiar with this person; it's Lin Qi Ye, the Double God Agent who made a name for himself earlier!"

As soon as Ye Fan finished speaking, several high-ranking officials began to discuss amongst themselves.

"The Double God Agent is indeed unprecedented, but Lin Qi Ye is still too young, isn't he just a high school student?"

"Uh, you can't say that. People like Wang Mian and Xia Simeng are also very young."

"How can that be the same? The Fifth Special Squad's authority is the Mist Walker of Great Xia. I think we need to be more cautious about the captain's selection."

"However, since Commander Ye has spoken, I presume this consideration has been brewing for a long time."

The high-ranking official who was wearing the Zhongshan suit earlier said. Ye Fan had given him a way out just now, and he intended to return the favor.

"Whether Lin Qi Ye is suitable to be the provisional captain of the Fifth Special Squad, I think it's better to observe him for a period. What do you all think?"

"Alright, let him speak with his own strength, that is the most convincing."

"Agreed!"

Ye Fan nodded, "I had the same intention. I plan to place him in the Zhaijie Institute for a period of observation, and his conduct and evaluation reports will be sent to you all at any time."

For the rest of the time, the Night Watcher high-ranking officials passed various other proposals, including but not limited to raising Song Zhong's wanted Rank to Heaven-Grade.

The meeting lasted a whole morning. After it adjourned, only Ye Fan and Zuo Qing remained in the conference room.

"Commander, I think some old-timers should retire," Zuo Qing said.

"Haha, it seems you still need to train for a while longer. Being so impatient won't do," Ye Fan leaned back in his chair and stretched.

"Zuo Qing, the matter of taking Lin Qi Ye to the Zhaijie Institute is entrusted to you."

Zuo Qing nodded and left the conference room.

...

In the barren mountains, Song Zhong was still sleeping in the small house, while the zombie Han Shaoyun stood outside like a statue, guarding.

Suddenly, a Divine Might appeared in the surroundings.

"Roar!"

Han Shaoyun immediately stood up. He bared his fangs, looking towards the direction of the disturbance, and saw an old man in a black robe standing there.

"Roar!"

Han Shaoyun moved swiftly, extending his claw-like hands and pouncing towards the old man.

But a strange scene occurred: the old man's body seemed to be a projection, and Han Shaoyun passed directly through him.

The old man ignored Han Shaoyun and instead came to the door of the wooden house, knocking on it.

"Song Zhong, it's time to wake up!"

The person who arrived was Yue Huai.

He had found Song Zhong five days ago, but seeing that the other party was sleeping, he did not disturb him.

That night, after witnessing Song Zhong's Divine Might in Cangnan, although Yue Huai knew that Song Zhong himself had definitely not touched the Realm of a God.

But deep down, he was still very wary of this young man.

Soon, Song Zhong's lazy voice came from the wooden house, "Hehehe, didn't you arrive early? Why are you only looking for me now?"

With a creak, Song Zhong opened the door and looked at Yue Huai with a grin.

Yue Huai said with a smile, "I envy you young people, able to fall asleep instantly. At my age, it's too difficult to get a good night's sleep."

"Then you can try some Brain Platinum!" Song Zhong said.

Yue Huai's face twitched, "I didn't expect you to be quite humorous. I'll get straight to the point: I've come to take you back to the Ancient God Church."

"Back to the Ancient God Church?" Song Zhong leaned against the door, "You wouldn't not know about the matter between me and Whisper, would you?"

Yue Huai didn't expect Song Zhong to bring up the matter directly.

"I know, but that's between you two. I can guarantee that I will absolutely not interfere."

"What if I kill him?" Song Zhong asked.

"That's your ability, proving that you are stronger than Whisper and more worthy of cultivation!" Yue Huai directly stated his attitude.

"Good, straightforward. Last question, what position will I hold once I join the Ancient God Church?"

Yue Huai looked at Song Zhong and said seriously:

"As long as you come, you will be the fourth God of the Ancient God Church!"

"Hehehe! Deal!"
