There is no such thing as a legendary person's residence. The rumors outside were just something I had my butler release. If it weren't for that, what you're seeing today would be a completely different scene. However, there's one thing I hope Mr. Ye won't dwell on: human nature is the most unreliable thing to scrutinize.
After saying this, Qin Shiyin lowered her head and drank her tea, remaining silent.
It seemed as though speaking these words had already taken a great toll on her.
Ye Longlin nodded slightly. He understood this point very well, or rather, he had experienced it before.
Human nature was indeed the most unreliable thing to scrutinize. In the face of death, people were often willing to betray everything to secure a chance at survival.
Once on the battlefield, some had sold their bodies, sold their souls, and even endured being manipulated by countless others, deliberately trying to please them. Even more so, to survive, they would betray their comrades, even if those comrades had just saved their lives not long ago.
Human nature was the most unreliable thing to scrutinize, and of course, this was limited to specific times and places.
"Aren't you bored living here alone?" Mu Hanqi asked curiously, tilting her small head, a big question mark in her tiny mind.
"Not at all! My place is huge, with so many rooms. It has all the latest game consoles and the newest games available on the market. Although it's an ancient-style building, this place is not as simple as you might think."
...
Meanwhile, Yuan Gang, Qin Mingxuan, and Ma Zhou organized a meeting. This meeting was about the revision of the Military God Ranking.
"My boss is coming this time. I expect you to handle the on-site arrangements and coordination properly. We will also arrange challenges for those not on the list. This will be the most difficult and troublesome revision of the Military God Ranking. I hope you ensure fairness and impartiality from the assessment personnel you've brought. If you can't do it, get out now! If I discover any of you have made any deals with the capital or any military region, I will not let you off. I can even tell you that if I find out, it won't just be a matter of giving it back. I also believe you wouldn't want to experience the interrogation methods of the Dragon Pavilion."
Yuan Gang spoke coldly, a meaningful smile appearing in his eyes, clearly showing he didn't trust this group of people.
They were too easily bribed. However, with the Heavenly King's Seal from his boss here, it would at least let them know that these matters weren't so simple!
"That's natural. The authority of the Military God Ranking must be guaranteed, otherwise, what kind of reputation would it have? Don't worry, we will also manage our subordinates properly and ensure that nothing you imagine will happen!"
"Yes, yes, General Yuan, rest assured, it absolutely won't happen. You can trust us."
"The Military God Ranking, also known as the Ranking of Famous Generals, is a list that countless soldiers aspire to be on. Although there might be temptations, we will definitely be able to resist them and provide a fair and just dueling environment for the military."
Seeing them speak almost as if they were swearing oaths, Yuan Gang didn't say much, only waved his hand to signal the end of the meeting.
After they left, Yuan Gang sat in the temporary office, looking in the direction of the arena, his eyes narrowed.
"Brother Qinglong, do you think they can really do what they said?" Yuan Gang sighed and leaned back in his chair, murmuring to himself.
"Difficult," Qinglong, standing in the corner, replied coldly. He wouldn't answer with more than one word if one word sufficed.
"Yes, it's too difficult, or perhaps impossible!"
"The revision of the Military God Ranking seems like just an ordinary list, but who knew there would be so many troublesome matters? I shouldn't have suggested it to boss in the first place. Not only do we have to guard against our own people, but we also have to guard against the Dark Hall. It's truly exhausting."
Qinglong looked puzzled, "The Dark Hall?"
Yuan Gang nodded. "Yes, boss suspects that people from the Dark Hall will make a move. After all, we have gathered hundreds of capable and cultivated famous generals here. If they grow stronger, they will undoubtedly cause irreparable damage to the Dark Hall. For the Dark Hall, if they can be nipped in the bud, then they will be nipped in the bud. Moreover, currently, the SS-class wanted criminals in Jinling City have not all been captured; they are all hidden. And the Dark Hall has a certain degree of control over SS-class and above wanted criminals. Therefore, if they make a move, we will be in a very difficult situation. For this reason, we have been keeping an eye on them."
Qinglong nodded and remained silent.
Ding—
At this moment, Yuan Gang's phone on the desk rang. Seeing the message, he stood up and said, "Let's go, boss wants us to come over."
The two left immediately. After they departed, many people who had been watching them surged into various offices.
On the other side, Ye Longlin, after leaving Qin Shiyin's place, found a tea house, exported the list within it, and then waited for the two. He would have the Black and White Impermanence contact the list from the dark department. As for the list of other wanted criminals, he would let Qinglong handle it. With Qinglong's current strength, dealing with these individuals would not be a problem. The twelve SS-class wanted criminals, with the highest cultivation being only at the Mid-Grade Dragon Elephant, were all within Qinglong's capability, as he was at the Upper-Grade Dragon Elephant.
"Did you hear? The Military God Ranking list has been released. Good heavens, previously this list was only known to military personnel, and no one else. This time it's being announced to the world. Are they not planning to hide anymore?"
"Hmph, does our Great Xia need to hide anything now? To put it bluntly, if a Great Dragon Elephant expert goes to the front line, they only need to carry a knife to wipe out a full company of the enemy. Can bullets be faster than a Great Dragon Elephant expert?"
"Who says not? However, I feel like this matter shouldn't be that simple. Have you ever seen a time when they exposed their strength without foreign elements causing trouble? I suspect the military is preparing to use this event to draw out these people."
"Shh, keep your voice down, don't let the wrong people hear. We all know it in our hearts, don't say it out loud, are you stupid!"
Amidst the various discussions, Ye Longlin finally understood why, in ancient times, the fastest way for information to circulate was through places like restaurants and tea houses. It was still the same even now!
"Hey, this girl is quite good-looking. Miss, do you have a boyfriend? If not, congratulations, I am your boyfriend now. If you do, you can choose to dump him, and congratulations, I am your new boyfriend."
