Leaving the Special Investigation Bureau and returning home, Han Kang mysteriously pulled Han Lang aside and said somewhat sheepishly.
"Brother, uh, about the recruitment for the national special forces, I think... I won't participate!"
Han Lang was a little surprised. "Why? Didn't we agree before? And Tang Qin should have submitted your information as well!"
Han Kang smiled awkwardly. "It should be possible to withdraw even after submitting the information, right? Besides, I'm different from you; being a soldier isn't my ideal either! And, it's so comfortable to stay in Le City with Xue Rong and be the CEO. Why would I go through that hardship!"
Han Lang couldn't help but chuckle.
He naturally knew that Han Kang had a thousand reasons, and being unable to let go of his vice-president status and position was just an excuse.
In the final analysis, it was simply because his aspirations lay elsewhere.
"But... you've entered the cultivator world now. The cultivation conditions for the special forces that Tang Qin and the others mentioned are rare opportunities! Aren't you regretful to give up just like that?"
Han Kang laughed heartily. "What's there to regret? When I first entered the Dao, it was only because we were threatened by the Gou family and our lives were in grave danger, so we had to cleanse our meridians and temper our bodies for self-preservation. To be honest, brother. I'm different from most people. If I had a choice, I might not even like cultivating. A simple life is bliss. Heh heh..."
After hearing Han Kang's heartfelt words, Han Lang nodded in agreement.
"That makes sense! Everyone has their own aspirations. As long as you know clearly what you want, then no matter what kind of life you choose, it is happy and worthwhile. Han Kang, since you have such a clear direction, I support you and wish you well. I'll tell Tang Qin about the spot later!"
Han Kang smiled happily. "Thank you, brother!"
Han Lang also smiled and patted Han Kang's shoulder, signaling him not to be polite, and then took out the storage ring he had just obtained from the Special Investigation Bureau and handed it to Han Kang.
Han Kang was surprised. "Brother, what is this?"
Han Lang quickly explained, "This storage ring looks quite similar to yours, so it should count as a pair. Take it and give it to Miss Tao! It can also be considered a unique romance for cultivators!"
Han Kang didn't reach out to take it and objected, "How can that be? You and I both know the importance of a storage ring to a cultivator. Xue Rong doesn't have one, so she can share mine. You're going to participate in the national special forces recruitment, so this storage ring should be more useful to you, right? There's no need..."
Before Han Kang could finish speaking, Han Lang interrupted him with a smile.
"Alright, alright. I know what you mean. But this storage ring really doesn't do much for me. You should still take it!"
Seeing Han Kang just standing there, looking at him with confusion, but still not reaching out, Han Lang helplessly continued to explain.
"Fine, fine! I'll tell you the truth. I already have something like a storage ring!"
"You have one?" Han Kang was even more confused.
Han Lang didn't know how to explain it to Han Kang, so he simply moved his divine sense, and a spiritual herb suddenly appeared in his hand.
Han Kang was startled and walked forward to search Han Lang all over, finding nothing. Still unconvinced, he looked at Han Lang and asked.
"Brother! You're not being fair. You wouldn't have already imprinted a soul mark on this storage ring, would you?"
Han Lang was speechless, filled with helplessness.
"Oh my god! Why don't you believe me? If I had already imprinted a soul mark on this storage ring, why would I take it out to give to you? With Miss Tao's cultivation, can she really not erase my imprint and plant her own?"
Han Kang felt that it made sense, but the confusion on his face did not disappear.
"Really?"
Han Lang was truly exasperated and, with no other choice, finally replied.
"Of course, it's true! I'm not lying to you, I really have other spatial artifacts, and their internal space is much larger than this storage ring! If you don't believe me, think back. We've fought together so many times, have you ever seen me reach for a spirit gathering pill?"
Han Kang thought about it carefully.
Because of his trust, Han Kang had never thought of spatial artifacts when things appeared out of thin air in Han Lang's hands before.
Now that he had his own storage ring and knew the principle behind it, he suddenly understood everything.
"So that's how it is! This means you've had spatial artifacts from the beginning, right?"
Han Lang nodded noncommittally. "To be honest, my spatial artifact is called the Three-Tiered Pagoda, and it has three floors. Each floor has a space of about 100 square meters. Besides storage, it can also grow various spiritual herbs. The raw materials for the spirit gathering pills I refine for you are all obtained from inside! It's a genuine auxiliary pseudo-divine artifact!"
Divine artifact?
Han Kang was stunned!
The storage ring that the advanced Special Investigation Bureau rewarded them with this time was merely at the bottom of the barrel among magical artifacts!
And such a low-level magical artifact was already a rare and precious item in the current cultivator world, something that could be encountered but not sought.
Then, the pseudo-divine artifact Han Lang mentioned, wouldn't it be something capable of subverting the entire cultivator world!
Thinking of this, Han Kang became nervous.
He repeatedly walked forward and covered Han Lang's mouth, constantly saying, "Alright, alright! Brother, I believe you. Please don't say any more. A man is innocent, but his wealth is his crime. Your secret must never be leaked again!"
Han Lang was even more speechless, thinking, "If you hadn't refused to believe me, would I have had to explain myself so openly to you like this?"
But he repeatedly agreed verbally. "Okay, okay. I naturally understand this. But this..."
Han Lang deliberately shook the storage ring in his hand and looked at Han Kang with a meaningful gaze.
Seeing this, Han Kang awkwardly took the storage ring and then forced a laugh. "Fine! Since that's the case, then I'll thank you as an elder brother on behalf of Xue Rong!"
Han Lang chuckled. "What are you being polite about? Aren't we family sooner or later? By the way, when are you two going to..."
Han Lang moved his two thumbs together, shaking them, and looked at Han Kang with a serious expression.
Seeing this gesture, Han Kang blushed unexpectedly and replied with a hint of shyness, "This... we haven't made any plans yet. If you're going to join the army, I think we should consider it after you return!"
Han Lang nodded in agreement. "That's good too! If you achieve something good, I want to personally give you my blessings. While I'm away, you must cherish this relationship well!"
Han Kang vowed, "Don't worry, brother! Xue Rong and I have a very stable relationship. It definitely won't have problems because of two or three years!"
As the brothers were chatting, Luo Jiaying suddenly walked out gracefully.
Seeing Han Lang and Han Kang, she called out to them.
"Brother Han Lang! Brother Han Kang!"
