Joining the Warrior's Department?

"Not at all," Ye Lingchen answered firmly, shaking his head.

"Why not?" Lin Ao asked in a loud voice, "You're young, and this is the best time to join the Warrior's Department. Moreover, being such a good fighter, you will be able to build your career with a promising future!"

"I just want to live my life in peace and accompany those close to me," Ye Lingchen gave a composed reply.

"Heh!" Lin Ao sneered, obviously unsatisfied with the answer.

He was a martial artist. Mincing words was not his forte. "If the country is not stable, how would you live peacefully?"

"You think that the world is very peaceful now?" Lin Ao spoke from experience. "Our country's border is stretched far and wide, filled with resources. Who wouldn't be jealous of such abundance? In recent years, Rice Country had continuously played up issues in food, technology, and tariffs. Yet many people are claiming that times are good!"

Ye Lingchen remained silent. He was not stupid. There were many issues, but he just chose to ignore them subconsciously.

"After I joined the Warrior's Department at 17, I had not returned home for a total of three years. Now I'm 25, and this is my fifth trip home!" Lin Ao replied in a calm tone. "Once my grandfather's condition has improved, I'll be returning to the Warrior's Department."

Ye Lingchen locked gazes with Lin Ao. Originally he thought that Lin Ao made his way to Upper-Class Warrior due to his family's influence. By now, that assumption was completely snuffed out.

Those born in the Lin family were destined to shoulder a heavier burden compared to the average people.

"My grandfather once told me that if your mannerisms were beyond the average people, that you would rise above the crowd." Lin Ao recollected, "My grandfather also taught me that those with great power will have a greater responsibility. I hope you can reconsider what I've said."

Ye Lingchen rubbed his nose, smiling bitterly, "Big Brother Lin, it's too early for you to discuss such matters with me. I have to focus on my studies as my foundation for now. I still have to go through martial training tomorrow."

"Huh? Martial training?"

Lin Ao slammed the brakes, as though he had just heard something unbelievable. He glued his eyes on Ye Lingchen for a moment, then laughed out loud in a boisterous manner.

"Hahahaha! Brother Ye, are you kidding me? Are you going to martial training? Isn't that like asking Ultraman to hold a toy gun?"

Having said that, he continued laughing uncontrollably. Rocking back and forth, he was laughing so hard that he teared up.

The way they addressed each other changed in a moment. From Grandmaster Ye to Brother Ye and Big Brother Lin, much closer than before.

"I really need to attend the martial training," said Ye Lingchen innocently.

"You need to go through martial training?"

Lin Ao stopped his outburst, then took a deep breath, "Brother Ye, it's a waste of your capabilities to have you go through martial training. If you need to do it, you should at least come to my team!"

"Big Brother Lin, I'm fine with that, but I don't have any say in this." Martial training was arranged by the university and it involved their credits.
