Zhao Xun’s words caused everyone present to have varied expressions!
The five interviewers from the Tang family wore expressions of watching a play.
Although they had no idea what Zhao Xun was up to, it did not affect their interests for the moment, so they were happy to be idle.
The four elders of the Zhao family, however, all looked ashen-faced, appearing quite displeased.
If it weren't for Zhao Xun's identity as the Zhao family head, his family status not being inferior to theirs, and the current occasion not being suitable for them to voice their opinions directly, they would have loved to point at Zhao Xun’s nose and demand an explanation.
Helplessly, they could only watch as Zhao Xun, feigning ignorance, picked up another "approve" seal beside him and stamped it without hesitation.
Han Lang also felt as if everything was a dream.
To be honest, before entering the formal interview, Tang Geng's reminder had made him not hold much hope for this interview.
But at this moment, Zhao Xun's forceful override of objections had actually allowed him to pass the interview.
Although he didn't know how much truth there was to his words, the outcome was indeed what Han Lang wanted.
Therefore, he even felt a sliver of gratitude!
However, all of this was not over yet.
After stamping the approval seal on Han Lang's application form, Zhao Xun immediately turned the form to the next page and, without saying a word, stamped the approval seal on Ma Long's application form as well.
This once again stunned everyone!
It was understandable if, during an interview, there was an occasional person who evoked special emotions, leading to a hint of cherishing talent.
But the next application form, Ma Long's, was far inferior to Han Lang's in terms of both strength and merit.
How could he have stamped the approval seal so readily?
But as things stood, no matter how astonished their gazes were or how unbelievable they felt, the confirmed result could not be changed!
Thus, one of the other four Zhao family elders glared fiercely at Zhao Xun, then gritted his teeth and said.
“Fourth candidate, Ma Long, male, Qi Refining Level Eleven, please vote!”
Without surprise, with Zhao Xun's vote, Ma Long also successfully passed the interview!
Only after leaving the interview venue did Ma Long shakily take out his personal enlistment token, his eyes filled with disbelief, and said.
“Young Master, am I dreaming? We passed the conscription interview?”
Han Lang smiled upon hearing this, “Heh, Brother Ma. You are not dreaming, we have indeed passed the interview! And the officer who just issued the tokens also said that five days from now, we should gather in the waiting hall we were just in, and we will head to the special special forces base together!”
“Wuwu… wuwu…”
Confirming that it was not a dream, Ma Long did not celebrate boisterously as he usually would. Instead, he changed his usual demeanor and whimpered softly.
“That’s great! I never imagined that I, Ma Long, having retired due to injury and reluctantly left the special forces, would have a chance to continue my dream today! Young Master, thank you so much! If it weren’t for you, my leg injury wouldn’t have healed, I wouldn’t have had the opportunity to cultivate and enter the Dao, let alone have the chance to fulfill my dream again at this moment! You gave me a new life! Wuwuwu.”
Seeing Ma Long overcome with joy and tears, Han Lang chuckled, first giving him a big hug for comfort, and then said.
“Alright! We’ve been brothers for so long, why are you being so formal! What you need to think about now is how to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage and firmly stay in the special special forces! Otherwise, if you’re sent back, how will you face Han Kang and Sister Wang Fang with that old face of yours! Heh…”
Hearing Han Lang’s joking words, Ma Long instantly composed himself, returning to his usual demeanor, and confidently replied.
“Don’t worry, Young Master! After entering the special special forces, won’t there be three months of secluded cultivation? With this time, plus the boost from the sixth major spiritual脉 of the special special forces that you provided, I’m confident that breaking through one or two levels will be absolutely no problem!”
What Ma Long was referring to was naturally the Spirit Gathering Pill provided by Han Lang.
It was just that since Tang Geng was unaware of Han Lang providing Spirit Gathering Pills to Ma Long and Tang Qin, Ma Long had never explicitly mentioned it.
“What about you? Tang Qin. Do you have any problems?”
Upon hearing the question, Tang Qin first looked at Han Lang gratefully, then replied directly.
“Don’t worry. The three-month supply is enough. And my cultivation is one level higher than Ma Long’s, so breaking through will definitely not be a problem!”
Seeing both of them so confident, Han Lang and Tang Geng were completely relieved.
“In that case, the four of us will be staying together in the special special forces, and we’ll have each other’s backs in the future! However, we’ll be gone for at least three years, and with only five days of preparation time left, you all should at least return to Le City to bid farewell to your family and friends, right?”
Reminded by Tang Geng, the few of them finally remembered this matter.
Tang Qin was fine.
After all, joining the special special forces had been planned for a very long time.
Returning to Le City this time was mainly to share this joy with Tang Haoran and to say a simple farewell.
But Han Lang and Ma Long were different!
Because they hadn’t held much hope for passing the interview before, they hadn’t informed anyone about these matters, except for Han Kang and Cao Xu Rong.
Moreover, Wang Fang, Luo Jia Ying, and the couple Han Zhong Yi were still ordinary people. They were completely unaware of their cultivator identities.
This made explaining even more difficult!
Thinking of this, both of them couldn’t help but frown.
“Thank you, Brother Tang Geng. We really forgot about this. If that’s the case, these five days are indeed very tight for me! I must quickly plan how to arrange things!”
What Han Lang was thinking about was not only how to explain to Luo Jia Ying and his parents.
There were also Han Kang and Cao Xu Rong, who had not participated in the special special forces recruitment.
Since he would be away for several years, he could no longer provide them with Spirit Gathering Pills for cultivation. Therefore, he wanted to take this opportunity to refine the mature Spirit Gathering Pill herbs in the three-story pagoda.
Although it wouldn’t be enough for them for three years, it would at least prevent their cultivation from stagnating drastically!
Ma Long seemed to have understood Han Lang’s intentions and immediately echoed anxiously.
“Then what are we waiting for! Let’s hurry back to the hotel and discuss with everyone about returning to Le City directly! It still takes several hours on the road!”
Hearing Ma Long’s urging, Han Lang became even more anxious. He no longer paid attention to Tang Geng and Tang Qin, but directly called Ma Long and strode out…
