Chapter 97: Establishing Authority!
"Yes, young master."
"You." Lin Tingting, furious, didn't know what else to say and turned to leave.
"Aoying Bo, I won't trouble you with the recommendation letter from Shiheng. As for the details, I'll speak directly with the Duke of Protecting the Nation," Yang Chen said lazily.
"You! Hmph, do as you wish!" Lin Tingting stopped in her tracks, glared at Yang Chen, and then helplessly said. After Lin Tingting left, Shen Liang immediately walked up to Yang Chen, knelt on one knee, and said, "Yang Qianhu, I was rude just now. If I said anything inappropriate, please forgive me." Shen Liang completely disregarded his own status and appeared very humble. However, in the face of life-and-death decisions, this behavior was understandable.
"There’s nothing to forgive; we’ll be family from now on." Yang Chen helped Shen Liang up and tossed him the emblem of the Yongbing group. Shen Liang immediately understood and pricked his finger to acknowledge it as his own.
"I am Gao Shan, I have met Yang Qianhu." The third-rank Qianhu candidate Gao Shan knelt on one knee to show his allegiance. Yang Chen similarly gave him an emblem and said:
"We're family; no need for formality." Gao Shan nodded slightly and acknowledged the emblem.
"Brother Xiao," Yang Chen inquired.
"Are you trying to recruit me into your Yongbing group?" Xiao Wentian asked.
"Not at this moment. However, Brother Xiao will definitely come," Yang Chen replied calmly.
"Let's talk about future matters in the future," Xiao Tian said nonchalantly.
"May I ask which sword technique Brother Xiao has chosen?" Yang Chen inquired.
“Heavy Sword!”
“Why?” Yang Chen asked.
“A Quake Sword in a lifetime cannot surpass you. It’s better to choose another path and reach the peak,” Xiao Wentian said directly.
“Brother Xiao is being modest,” Yang Chen replied. “Later in Loulan City, I will ask Divine Craftsman Tang An to forge a Heavy Sword for you.”
“Thank you.” After saying this, he left. As he passed by Yang Chen, Yang Chen calmly said, “A Heavy Sword is blunt, great skill lies in simplicity. One sword can block a thousand troops! Have you made your decision?”
“Indeed,” Xiao Wentian said firmly.
“Would you be willing to be the vanguard?” Yang Chen asked in a deep voice.
“We can discuss it later,” Xiao Wentian replied lightly before turning to leave.
“You all go down, leave Shi Heng behind,” Yang Chen instructed.
“Yes, Young Master (Thousand Household).”
“Shi Heng, follow me, and you will not be disgraced. At the same time, I will do my best to secure an official position for you. However, after unifying the Xuan Continent, you must withdraw from the court. Can you do that?” Yang Chen asked.
“I will follow whatever Young Master decides,” Shi Heng replied. Previously, following two Saints of Combat beside Yang Chen indicated that he was not an ordinary person; perhaps he was a descendant of that ancient family. So after coming to this realization, Shi Heng no longer harbored any doubts.
“Good, I will now write to Duke of National Defense Red Tianba to request a position for you!” Yang Chen said confidently.
“Thank you, Young Master,” Shi Heng said respectfully. Yang Chen nodded and searched around for paper, then picked up a brush and wrote:
“Duke of National Defense Red Tianba, I, Yang Chen, am here to request a position from the Demon Lord. I hope for your approval.” After folding the letter, Yang Chen stamped it with the Heavenly Kill Order. He called out loudly, “Come here.”
Moments later, two soldiers approached and respectfully said, “My lord.”
“Deliver this letter urgently and confidentially to Duke of National Defense Red Tianba. No one is to read it. Do you understand?” Yang Chen said sternly.
“Yes, my lord.” They took the letter and exited.
“Young Master, is that all we need to do?” Shi Heng asked doubtfully.
“Hmph, Chitianba will definitely approve it as quickly as possible, no later than tomorrow morning,” Yang Chen replied coldly.
“Is it going to be that fast?” Shi Heng asked in surprise.
“It’s nothing. If you were a Fighting Saint Expert, you could obtain the position of Duke of the Third Rank tonight. Anyone who aligns with me can be directly granted titles above Demon Lord,” Yang Chen explained.
“Young Master, why is that?” Shi Heng inquired.
Yang Chen said, “You will know when the time comes. Now, let’s go. As a Thousand Household, you should have at least a hundred men under your command.”
“Yes, Young Master,” Shi Heng replied respectfully, then stepped behind Yang Chen, trailing him by a pace.
Yang Chen looked around for a moment and found Shen Liang and several others. He said, “Gather everyone from the Military. I have something to say.”
“Yes, Young Master.”
“Assembly!” Shen Liang shouted to the sky.
Three minutes later, the last person in the military, the three thousand three hundred and forty-first individual, returned to the ranks. Shen Liang said, "The purpose of gathering you all today is to introduce your new leader." After speaking, he stepped back behind Yang Chen, leaving Yang Chen standing alone in front.
"Your performance today has truly disappointed me; you do not possess the qualities expected of a soldier," Yang Chen said sternly.
"You say there are none? Who do you think you are?"
"Exactly, you're just a hundred-man commander; what right do you have to speak to us?" Voices from five individuals rose from the crowd, but in the next moment, five heads flew off, and Shi Heng looked at everyone as if nothing had happened. Everyone gasped in horror at Shi Heng.
"I will not tolerate any interruptions while I am speaking! If you wish to speak, remember to report!" Yang Chen said coldly.
"Hmph, don't you know that killing your own kind without permission is forbidden in the military?"
"Aoying Bo, where are you?"
"Swish swish." Two more heads flew off.
"Who else wants to test my patience?" Yang Chen said coldly.
"Yang Qianhu kills without guilt in the military!" Lin Tingting's helpless voice echoed in the sky, and then her graceful figure appeared before everyone. Although Lin Tingting was already in her eighties or nineties, she looked like an ordinary young woman of eighteen.
"Greetings, Aoying Bo," everyone shouted in unison.
"No need for excessive courtesy," Lin Tingting said gently. "Since everyone is here today, I would like to say a few words. Due to Commander Yang Chen's outstanding military achievements, the higher-ups have appointed him as a Third-Class Qianhu, with command over one thousand soldiers."
"Thank you, Aoying Bo," Yang Chen said with a slight bow. "Aoying Bo, isn't commanding one thousand soldiers a bit too few? Those capable should take on more responsibilities. How about this: all brothers in the military will fall under my command. What do you think?"
"You, Yang Chen, don't get carried away! I outrank you by two levels; I am your superior!" Lin Tingting said angrily.
"Ha ha, be careful not to provoke me, or I might just take you down! Damn it, stop making a scene in front of Young Master!" Yang Chen said with a forced smile.
"You, you! Hmph, you can try. But if I die, you won't be any better off either. I believe you'll come to keep me company on the night of my funeral," Lin Tingting said bitterly, glancing at Shi Heng with apprehension.
"I believe you have a good mother. Also, I'm quite familiar with your brother. Why don't you become my subordinate?" Yang Chen said playfully.
"Dream on! Don't even think about it! You say you've met my brother?" Lin Tingting replied in surprise.
"It's nothing. Before long, you'll be helping me," Yang Chen said, not wanting to reveal anything further.
"Hmph, let's talk about the future when it comes," Lin Tingting said, then turned to the others and asked, "Did you understand what Yang Chen said?"
Everyone was momentarily taken aback and replied in unison, "Understood!" Lin Tingting nodded and left helplessly.
"Greetings, Yang Qianhu."
"Just call me Leader," Yang Chen said calmly.
"Yes, Leader."
