1062: Chapter 1055: One Wrong Step Leads to More 1062: Chapter 1055: One Wrong Step Leads to More Ye Dongjian, Wu Kunming, and Wang Li requested Space Rings with a helpless twist of his mouth.
Did Ye Dongjian and the others really think that Space Rings were as common as street market goods?
Simply collecting the materials needed for the manufacture of Space Rings was difficult enough.
Ye Chenfeng casually said, “Uncle Ye, Uncle Wu, Wang Li, the materials for the Space Rings are very hard to find.
Once I gather enough materials, I promise I’ll equip each of you with a Space Ring.”
Then, Ye Chenfeng added, “Alright, if there’s nothing else, you can leave for now.
I need some time alone here to think things through.” Ye Chenfeng wanted to turn the outer shell of the Flame Scorpion into protective gear so that he could have another life-saving card up his sleeve sooner rather than later.
But just as Ye Chenfeng’s words fell, “buzz buzz~buzz buzz~,” his phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated.
Seeing that it was Elder Ye calling, he immediately pressed the answer button, “Grandpa, is there something you need to talk about with me?”
“Chenfeng, I don’t even know what to say to you.
You’ve barely been back home and you’re already spending all your time at the Wind Guard Camp.
Don’t you think it’s time to come home and visit?
However, you don’t need to rush back today.
Those old fellows heard about your return to Capital City and they all want to come to the Wind Guard Camp to see you.
Your mother and all your women are coming too, so you’d better start preparing.
We will arrive at your Wind Guard Camp in about an hour,” Elder Ye said briefly, then hung up.
With Ye Chenfeng’s current strength, he didn’t need to consider the opinions of those high-ranking elders, but still, he knew he had to extend the courtesy due on the surface.
Besides, his grandfather Ye Zhenhong was coming, as were Wu Anguo and Bai Hongfang, elders in Ye Chenfeng’s life, so from many perspectives, he had to go out to meet them.
Ye Chenfeng said to Ye Dongjian and the others, “Uncle Ye, you guys go ahead and get ready.
The seniors from Capital City will be arriving here in an hour.
Let’s not make them think the Wind Guard Team lacks manners.
Also, temporarily disable the defense system outside the Wind Guard Camp, so we don’t cause any embarrassment.”
Ye Dongjian and the others were accustomed to the attitudes of the high-level people in Capital City.
In their eyes, Ye Chenfeng was the only one who could mobilize all the high-level officials of Capital City.
It could be said that Ye Chenfeng’s status in the hearts of those Capital City elders was irreplaceable, and they saw him as the future hope of Huaxia Country.
An hour later.
The two large gates at the entrance of the Wind Guard Camp were wide open.
Ye Chenfeng, Ye Dongjian, Wu Kunming, and Wang Li stood patiently at the entrance.
Of course, a few middle-stage Soul Force masters from the Wing Guard Team were also present.
As for the other members of the Wind Guard Team, Ye Chenfeng had instructed them to focus on improving their strength, so there was no need for everyone to wait at the gate.
Before long, several stretch Red Flag sedans slowly drove into the Wind Guard Camp, followed by a series of military jeeps.
After the Red Flag sedans stopped, people holding firearms got out of the jeeps, respectfully opening the doors of several Red Flag sedans.
The first to step out of the cars were Yu Fengnian, Yang Yuan, Elder Ye Ye Zhenhong, Elder Wu Wu Anguo, and Elder Bai Bai Hongfang, among others.
Following them were Ye Chenfeng’s mother, Sun Meiqin, and his many women.
However, an old man disembarking from a jeep at the rear caught Ye Chenfeng’s attention.
Wasn’t that the previous commander of the Soldier King Group, Wu Guotian?
Back in the day, Wu Guotian had thought highly of Ye Chenfeng and had even gone with him to Country M, where they destroyed a gathering point of the Devouring Empire.
Later, Wu Guotian handed the command of the Soldier King Group over to Ye Chenfeng, and then went off to travel.
He was unaware of what had happened during his absence that Ye Chenfeng had not taken command of the Soldier King Group.
It was only after his return that he was informed of the events that transpired while he was away.
“Old Wu, why are you still so stubborn?
We asked you to share a car with us, and you still refused?” Yu Fengnian teased as he looked at the approaching Wu Guotian.
Wu Guotian waved his hand dismissively, “Old Yu, I’m no longer the commander of the Soldier King Group.
Any car is the same for me; if it wasn’t for the news of Chenfeng returning to Capital City, I would’ve been too lazy to come out.”
As Wu Guotian looked at Ye Chenfeng, Ye Chenfeng was also looking at him.
He had a favorable impression of Old Wu and, with a smile, he said, “Old Man Wu, you must have enjoyed your time traveling around lately?”
Wu Guotian didn’t mind Ye Chenfeng’s address.
He knew that was just the way Ye Chenfeng was.
He sighed, “As people age, they can’t compete with young folks like you.”
Wu Guotian looked at Yu Fengnian and the others, and said, “Old Yu, I’d like to catch up with Chenfeng and his team.
You don’t mind, do you?”
Hearing this, Ye Chenfeng turned to Ye Dongjian and Wu Kunming, and said, “Uncle Dongjian, Uncle Wu, would you please take Elder Yu and the rest to the hall of my villa first?
I need to have a few words with Elder Wu.”
Though Sun Meiqin and Wu Xiaofei, along with the other women, could hardly wait to grab Ye Chenfeng’s attention, in front of so many high-ranking officials from Capital City, they managed to restrain their emotions.
Led by Ye Dongjian and Wu Kunming, Yu Fengnian and the others proceeded to Ye Chenfeng’s villa.
Once all the high-ranking officials had left, Wang Li was the first to speak to Wu Guotian, “Commander.”
“Commander!” the other several masters with Middle-Stage Soul Force also called out in unison.
These people, including Wang Li, had once been members of the Soldier King Group, and they still harbored a special affection for Wu Guotian.
Wu Guotian glanced over at Wang Li and the others and couldn’t help but nod, saying, “Well done, well done.
Your growth has truly been heartening!
Following Chenfeng must be the most astute decision you’ve made in your lives.”
Wu Guotian’s gaze then shifted to Ye Chenfeng, and he said, “Chenfeng, when I first appointed you as the commander of the Soldier King Group, I never imagined all that would happen afterward.
But now, whether or not you’re the commander makes no difference.
You’ve managed to recruit all the old members of the Soldier King Group to your Wing Guard Team!
I always knew you were extraordinary, but I didn’t expect you to soar so high so quickly.”
While Wu Guotian and Ye Chenfeng were talking, the current commander of the Soldier King Group, Zhao Fei, walked over with an unsightly expression.
The Soldier King Group was responsible for the safety of Yu Fengnian and his entourage today.
Zhao Fei had a history of grievances with Ye Chenfeng and was filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred due to Ye Chenfeng’s rapid rise.
Every time Zhao Fei had tried to give Ye Chenfeng trouble, it always ended up with himself in disgrace.
Now, what was once the illustrious Soldier King Group was practically in name only.
“Wang Li, you still have the face to see the commander?
When you left the Soldier King Group to follow Ye Chen, you severed your ties with the Soldier King Group,” Zhao Fei spat out through clenched teeth, his resentment towards Ye Chenfeng undiminished.
Wu Guotian looked at the agitated Zhao Fei and shook his head helplessly.
He said, “Zhao Fei, you made the wrong choice this time.
In fact, you should’ve followed Chenfeng from the beginning.”
Upon hearing Wu Guotian’s words, Zhao Fei completely lost control of his emotions.
He exclaimed, “Commander, why should I have followed Ye Chen back then?
On my own ability, I will surpass Ye Chen one day.
Just you all wait and see.”
As Zhao Fei became agitated, a member of the Wind Guard Team with Middle-Stage Soul Force stepped forward.
His inner Soul Force surged toward Zhao Fei.
In their eyes, no one was allowed to speak ill of Ye Chen.
With a “thud!”
Suddenly feeling an immense pressure, Zhao Fei collapsed to his knees, powerless to resist.
The proud Wind Guard member said, “Zhao Fei, you will never surpass Young Master Ye.
I used to be the least of the Soldier King Group, but now, without lifting a finger, I could easily defeat you.
You were wrong, truly wrong.”
Zhao Fei, now kneeling as the current commander of the Soldier King Group, turned deathly pale.
Looking at Ye Chenfeng’s nonchalant demeanor, he felt even more miserable.
At this moment, a sense of regret began to creep into his heart.
However, one false step leads to another, and so Zhao Fei was doomed never to catch up with Ye Chenfeng, destined to be left behind by the likes of Wang Li, farther and farther away.
