Old Madam Chu attempted to make Ye Fan change his mind.
"Fan, why don't you go and return their favor. They've defended the Chu family for 50 years, so we owe them. We should help them.”
Old Madam Chu kept trying her utmost to persuade Ye Fan.
All these years, Old Madam Chu managed to live in the old mansion in peace.
Other than the Chu clan's authority and status, she had received protection from the country as well.
The country had stationed 100,000 troops at Fenghai for 50 years.
Even though it was done to return a favor, Old Madam Chu couldn't help feeling moved by their sincerity and persistence.
It was the first time they ever asked Old Madam Chu for help, so she didn't have the heart to refuse them.
"Alright, alright. Fine, I'll do it."
Ye Fan ended up agreeing to it on account of Old Madam Chu.
But even though he had made Old Madam Chu happy, Yu Yun was upset.
Yu Yun asked Ye Fan while they were practicing sword technique in the backyard, "If you go to the army, how are you going to cultivate at night? Don't you want to practice Dragon God Body?" asked Yu Yun coldly.
Ye Fan instantly laughed cheekily and said, "Are you going to suffer from insomnia because I'm not around at night?"
"I am talking about something serious. If you keep saying such nonsense, I will really slice you in half!"
Yu Yun gnashed her teeth angrily.
This guy just kept teasing her all the time.
Fortunately, no one was around.
Or else, if any of her acquaintances learned about Yu Yun's relationship with Ye Fan, her image would collapse completely.
"Don't worry. Your side is more important to me, so I definitely won't hold things up."
Ye Fan had already come up with a plan.
Regardless of how busy things became at the army, cultivation would still be Ye Fan's top concern.
After all, mastering Yin Dragon God Body meant his abilities would improve, so he couldn't let it get delayed.
Yu Yun didn't want cultivation to stop either.
After all, she had a hard time convincing herself to do this Joint Cultivation with Ye Fan.
If it ended for no reason, all the energy and emotion she had spent on it would go to waste.
Moreover, Yu Yun needed to improve her defenses using skills like Yang Dragon God Body.
Cultivating Dragon God Body was a winwin situation for both of them.
In the morning the next day, Lu Tian-He and Fang Shao-Hong headed over to Chu residence once again.
The moment they spotted Ye Fan, they were stunned.
Their eyes opened wide in shock!
Then he looked at Ye Fan. "Mr Chu, thank you so much for helping the army. Don't worry. All the things I promised you previously are still on the table. After we go to the military zone, I will make a recommendation to the commander for you to get appointed as general. You might end up becoming the youngest general in Chinese military history." Lu Tian-He chuckled as he spoke and was in a good mood.
But Ye Fan replied calmly, "I don't care about inflated reputation or the title. I just need you to agree to three conditions. First, I need the authority to come and go as I please in the army without prior approval. Second, after I become special troops instructor, I hold full right to train them as I see fit. No one is to interfere! Third, I won't stay in the Jiangdong armed forces for long. I will leave when the time is ripe. Don't worry. I will be sure to finish the training before I leave. Are you able to agree to these three points?" Ye Fan spoke deeply as he looked at Lu Tian-He.
"Well, that..."
Lu Tian-He and Fang Shao-Hong looked at each other before they smiled awkwardly as they hesitated.
"We can promise you the last two things. However, the first one might be tough. After all, there are rules in the army. Militarized management means access has to be restricted. Moreover, this is a highly secretive mission, so I'm worried your request might make the higher-ups upset. The soldiers might also get upset when they find out about you having this privilege. Mr Chu, is this negotiable?" said Lu Tian-He.
Before Lu Tian-He finished his words, Ye Fan interrupted him, "There's no room for negotiation. You know I don't like being tied down. That was the reason I turned you down the last time. If you can't agree to my first request, then consider this conversation over."
Ye Fan sounded decisive and gave them no room for negotiation.
Ye Fan wasn't trying to be unreasonable. He had to come back every two days to do Joint Cultivation with Yu Yun for Dragon God Body.
Hence, he had to fight for free access in the army.
Or else, Ye Fan wouldn't be their instructor, regardless of whatever rank they offered
him.
"Er..."
Lu Tian-He and Fang Shao-Hong were in a spot when they noticed how determined Ye Fan was.
Lu Tian-He had no choice but to bring this up to his boss and fight for Ye Fan's privilege.
