319 What Should I Do Now? This Is Urgent! (1/2)
Sergeant Gao and the others became distinctly more reserved around Ye Lingchen. Their earlier ignorance did not matter anymore, but since the grandmaster was beside them, they did not dare to be careless.
After cuffing the three men, they breathed a sigh of relief and rid themselves of the tension they felt prior. The pressure heaped onto them by the martial artist was too great.
”Master, what should we do next?” Xu Nan asked.
One by one, the others also looked at Ye Lingchen and wanted to hear his opinion.
By right, any encounter with a martial artist should be left to the Warrior's Department. Things, however, happened too suddenly, and it was too hasty to notify the Warrior's Department and that time.
”I am a layman. You should ask Sergeant Gao,” Ye Lingchen said with a smile.
Sergeant Gao took a deep breath and pondered for a moment, then remarked, ”We can confirm that this is their base, but its definite position can only be confirmed once it's sighted...”
As he spoke of that, his words were unwittingly slowed down and he frowned.
If they continued to move forward, God only knew what kind of people they would meet. If there were many martial artists in that stronghold, then it would certainly spell trouble for their group. Even so, they felt reluctant to just stop here.
”Sergeant Gao, shall we notify the Warrior's Department first, and come back when we are fully prepared?” someone suggested.
”No!” Li Hu shook his head and his tone heavy. ”We have no idea what these three people are doing when they came out. If the three of them don't return, they will certainly arouse suspicions in the others. We can't spook the enemy or else this will all go to waste.”
The current situation left them in a dilemma. The burly man's emergence left everyone feeling uncertain.
”I might have a suggestion,” Ye Lingchen spoke up with lit-up eyes and he looked at the comatose burly man.
”Grandmaster Ye, please do tell.” Everyone looked at Ye Lingchen.
”I think the first thing we can do is infiltrate and find out the situation,” Ye Lingchen said plainly.
His words made everyone frown slightly. His words practically made no difference. If only they could infiltrate the place!
As they listened, however, Ye Lingchen continued, ”I have learned Transfiguration. We can transform our look into someone else's. Wouldn't hurt to try it.”
”Transfiguration?” Sergeant Gao and the others were all startled. They looked at Ye Lingchen strangely.
”Master, could you have stumbled here from a TV show?” Xu Nan opened her mouth slightly and looked at Ye Lingchen adorably. Their worldview was being upended slowly, but quietly. Danger truly did lurk everywhere in the world.
”Isn't it too dangerous to do this?” Xu Nan looked at Ye Lingchen worriedly.
Doing such a thing was much more frightening than being a spy. After all, Ye Lingchen was practically a fake. If he gave the slightest bit of his true identity away, he would immediately be trapped and surrounded.
”That is why I should go alone.” Ye Lingchen smiled slightly. ”With my skills, I can escape even if I'm exposed.”
”This...” Sergeant Gao and the others were all hesitant. Commencing with the plan would be Ye Lingchen in danger, but other than that, there seemed to be no other way.
In the end, Sergeant Gao's face abruptly turned solemn. He stood up and bowed deeply to Ye Lingchen, ”Grandmaster Ye, we have to trouble you then!”
The others followed suit and bowed to Ye Lingchen too.
”Grandmaster Ye, I, Li Hu, was ignorant of greatness in the past. I have offended you and I seek your forgiveness.” Li Hu said solemnly.
”It's okay.” Ye Lingchen waved his hand casually. He never even put all that to heart.
At that point, he had already begun to prepare for the transfiguration.
Speaking of which, it was the first time Ye Lingchen used Transfiguration, but it was derived from makeup after all. Since it was similar to makeup, it should probably not be too rusty.
