Director Miao and Captain Ding were so scared they were beside themselves with fear, shivering inside the helicopter.

Two soldiers, each armed with a rifle, sat at both ends, their dark muzzles pointed at the two of them.

They had no doubt that if they made any threatening moves, the soldiers would not hesitate to pull the triggers.

Li Xiaoyao and Ye Qinglian sat on the other side. After the plane took off, Ye Qinglian, leaning against a wooden box that she didn't know what contained, asked, "Can you tell me now?"

"What do you want to know?"

"Who are you? Why is your spear technique so good?"

Li Xiaoyao said, "Because I know the Military Region Commander."

"How do you know him?"

"I saved his life once."

Ye Qinglian looked at him oddly, clearly not quite believing Li Xiaoyao's words.

"Forget it, if you don't want to say, I won't ask." Ye Qinglian pouted, clearly thinking Li Xiaoyao wasn't telling the truth.

"Hey, how are things going with Xiaoyue?"

"Just like that."

Seeing that he didn't want to talk more about it, Ye Qinglian did not press further.

The helicopter continued to carry the two until reaching the military area where Cheng Dongliang, clad in a military uniform, was already waiting below.

Li Xiaoyao and Ye Qinglian got off the helicopter. Cheng Dongliang, accompanied by a middle-aged man in military attire, came over with a smile and said, "Xiaoyao, let me introduce you, this is Cheng Hao, my son, Yiyi's big brother."

Li Xiaoyao shook hands with him and said, "Hello."

Cheng Hao, exuding an aura of iron-blooded valor and clearly someone who had been in real combat, nodded and replied, "Hello," then stood aside, observing Li Xiaoyao in secret.

Cheng Dongliang glanced at Ye Qinglian and asked cheerfully, "Your girlfriend?"

Li Xiaoyao answered indirectly, "Just happened to come across a gang of bandits and killed them. You should investigate thoroughly."

"Yes, I'll take care of it."
Your next chapter is on empire

Li Xiaoyao, not wishing to stay long, said, "Arrange a car to take me back."

Suddenly, Cheng Dongliang said, "Xiaoyao, there's something I'd like to ask for your help with."

"Speak," Li Xiaoyao said, not immediately agreeing.

If it weren't for the relationship with Cheng Yiyi, Li Xiaoyao wouldn't even have given Cheng Dongliang the chance to speak.

Even with Cheng Yiyi in between, it wasn't certain that Li Xiaoyao would agree.

As a cultivator, Li Xiaoyao's aim was to act naturally and follow his heart.

He was not willing to interfere in the affairs of ordinary people unless they were closely related to him.

Cheng Dongliang said, "Lu Province's military area has an elite special forces team, and I'd like to ask you to train them."

Li Xiaoyao frowned and declined directly, "I don't have time."

At his side, Ye Qinglian and Cheng Hao were shocked upon hearing Cheng Dongliang's words, not knowing what to say.

How old is this young man?

He's not even thirty yet, right?

His father's respectful attitude towards him already puzzled Cheng Hao and now, his father was actually asking him to become an instructor for the most elite special forces unit in the military area.

Cheng Hao simply could not understand.

Ye Qinglian also could not understand; she had always thought Li Xiaoyao was just an ordinary person. Yet in just one day, Li Xiaoyao had demonstrated formidable personal strength, using terrifying spear techniques to kill seven bandits.

Now, even the Military Region Commander was asking him to serve as an instructor.

"It won't take too long, just one day a week should suffice. What do you think?" Cheng Dongliang's aged eyes were filled with expectancy.

Cheng Dongliang was also somewhat helpless, the military region of Lu Province he oversaw was at the very bottom among the ten major military regions of the Xuan Country.

And during the annual military competition, the results of the Lu Province military region were always very poor.

Cheng Dongliang had hired many experts to serve as instructors over the years, but their performance had never changed.

But Li Xiaoyao, so young with such strong cultivation level, might just create a miracle.

Li Xiaoyao thought for a few seconds and said, "Once a week is actually doable."

Cheng Dongliang was overjoyed in his heart, "Then it's a deal."

Li Xiaoyao said, "I'll head back first. Let me know one week in advance when you need me to come over."

"Alright, I'll have someone send you back now."

After Li Xiaoyao and Ye Qinglian had left, Cheng Hao couldn't hold back any longer and asked, "Dad, who exactly is this kid? Apart from being somewhat handsome, I don't see anything outstanding about him."

Cheng Dongliang's expression was distant as he said, "He is a cultivator."

Cheng Hao's pupils shrank slightly in surprise, "He's a cultivator? Yet I didn't sense a trace of spiritual energy from him, which must mean his cultivation level isn't very high. Dad, although cultivators are rare in this world, if he is only just beginning his cultivation journey, there's no need for us to curry favor with him to such an extent."

"Humph!" Cheng Dongliang glanced at him and said, "How could you possibly discern his cultivation level with your mere peak of the Qi-Training Mirror?"

Cheng Hao's expression froze, then he exclaimed in shock, "Could it be that his cultivation level has reached the Condensation Realm?"

"Hmm." Cheng Dongliang's expression was serious as he spoke, "A cultivation prodigy that appears only once in a hundred years. His cultivation level is so high that even I can only look up to him."

"That strong!" Cheng Hao was shocked in his heart.

Cheng Dongliang said, "If our Cheng family can enlist him, it would be all gain and no loss. In the future, when you see him again, you must show him the utmost respect and be careful not to anger him. The future of our Cheng family depends entirely on him now."

Cheng Hao was a soldier and also a cultivator. He deeply understood how powerful an influence a cultivator could be for a major family.

...

Ye Qinglian was a straightforward person and keeping questions bottled up inside without answers would drive her crazy.

"Who was that old man just now?"

"Cheng Dongliang."

Ye Qinglian asked, "The Cheng Dongliang from the military region of Lu Province?"

"Yes."

"How do you know him? And why would he ask you to be an instructor? And even an instructor for the most elite special forces of the Lu Province military region at that." Ye Qinglian couldn't wrap her head around it. Li Xiaoyao was just an ordinary person, so ordinary that there was no reason for Cheng Dongliang to take special notice of him.

Li Xiaoyao said indifferently, "Because I saved him."

Ye Qinglian's eyes held a complex look as she asked, "Did you really save him? But even if you did, what does that have to do with him asking you to be an instructor?"

"Because I'm very good."

"What kind of explanation is that?" Ye Qinglian pursed her lips, "Even though your spear technique is good, there are many in the special forces who are skilled with a gun. Forget it, I won't think about it; thinking too hard gives me a headache."

When they got back to the city, someone had already returned Li Xiaoyao's car.

Li Xiaoyao drove Ye Qinglian out for a meal, and knowing that he wasn't short on cash, Ye Qinglian didn't feel the slightest need to save money for him.

During the meal, Li Xiaoyao asked, "Are you still in contact with Captain Zhang?"

"Why would I contact him?" Ye Qinglian displayed an expression like she wasn't familiar with him at all.

Li Xiaoyao said, "You've been unconscious for an entire year, and he took care of you for a whole year. Honestly, if I were you, I'd definitely offer myself in marriage."

Ye Qinglian stuffed a chopstick-full of mutton into his mouth and said fiercely, "Meat can't even shut you up, it's my private matter, stop meddling."

Li Xiaoyao swallowed the meat and shook his head, "You're not getting any younger, are you planning on staying single forever?"

Ye Qinglian's Xiubrow furrowed into a "八" shape, she slammed her palm holding the chopsticks on the table, glaring at Li Xiaoyao, "Are you deliberately trying to keep me from enjoying my meal?"
