Chapter 215 What’s The Grade And Rank

General Li-Li Xinfan!

Everyone shuddered when they heard the name.

Even Ni Yunhong’s face changed. Ou Yangming and his companions were not at the military camp near the immense forest; they were at the Prefecture Military Camp, which had the largest army in the county.

Li Xinfan was not an ordinary cultivator; he was a Supreme Great Ancestor. He was also from the imperial family like Governor Deng Xiyuan, but he was the most powerful martial artist in Changlong County. In terms of power alone, even the Ni family, which had three Supreme Great Ancestors, dared not say that they could suppress General Li.

Although Ou Yangming was slightly popular, it was unexpected for him to be valued by a figure like Li Xinfan.

The young fellow forced a smile and asked, “Captain Zhang, why does General Li know a n.o.body like me?”

“A n.o.body? Master Ou, you underestimate yourself.” Zhang Mingzhe could not help but laugh, and he explained with a serious face, “My brothers and I admire what you did, and we’re grateful for you from the bottom of our hearts. Hehe, General Li has personally ordered us to thank you with the military salute if we ever see you.”

The other people became even more puzzled. Eventually, Old Craftsman nudged Ou Yangming and asked softly, “Young fella, what did you do?”

Ou Yangming was startled for some time before he said, “I didn’t do anything…” Zhang Mingzhe shook his head and sighed. “Master Ou, you sought justice for us, fought the imperial merchant on your own, and taught the high officials and n.o.bles a great lesson. Did you forget such a significant matter?”

Old Craftsman widened his eyes at Ou Yangming and cursed, ‘What’s going on? I’ll surely make this young fella explain to me once we’re home.’

Ou Yangming was stunned. “Captain Zhang, I ought to have done that. It’s just a small matter, so it’s not worthy enough to be remembered by General Li.”

“A small matter? Heh…” Zhang Mingche laughed, but he sounded rather bitter. The captain lowered his voice and said, “Master Ou, who else is willing to stand up for soldiers like us?”

Ou Yangming opened his mouth and looked at Zhang Mingzhe as he felt troubled, but he could not let a world out.

He was willing to offend the imperial merchant for a squad leader-a deceased squad leader—and was unwilling to stop even when two Supreme Great Ancestors showed up. How many people in the world could have done that?

Nonetheless, while it was the reality, the incident cast a chill over the generals and the soldiers. As such, even Zhang Mingzhe did not have the guts to speak about it openly.

“Master Ou, please!” Zhang Mingzhe reached out his hand to guide the guests into the military camp.

Along the way, Ou Yangming noticed that more people gathered to see them. The people whispered to each other, and whenever he turned to look, someone would salute him even from far away.

Nevertheless, n.o.body stopped them, and they simply bowed at Ou Yangming quietly from afar. They expressed their highest respect for him in a soldier’s unique way.

Ou Yangming was agitated. He stuck out his chest as he followed behind Old Craftsman, and he walked calmly as the other people watched.

At this moment, he firmly believed that everything he did was right. Even if he offended the governor, even if he provoked the imperial merchant, Ou Yangming never regretted it.

At last, there was a smaller crowd when they were deeper inside the military camp. They were at the residence for high-rank officers, after all, which was out of bounds for most people. “Ou Yangming’s here, that’s great!” A hearty voice was heard.

Chen Yifan’s familiar figure was seen, but he was instantly attracted to the spear on Ou Yangming’s back as soon as he appeared. In fact, he ignored Old Craftsman and the other people. “Lil’ Ou, did you smith this weapon for me?” Chen Yifan cut to the chase.

Ou Yangming grinned. ‘Chen Yifan’s still as straightforward as ever.’

“General, I did smith this weapon for you. Take a look at it; are you satisfied?” Ou Yangming removed the spear from his back and tossed it to the general.

Ordinary people must be checked thoroughly before they entered the heavily-guarded military camp, so it would be impossible for one to carry a self-made spear into the camp.

However, every soldier neglected the spear after they found out Ou Yangming’s name, hence the young fellow entered the camp smoothly with the weapon.

Chen Yifan caught the spear and fixed his gaze on the spear tip. He subconsciously quivered.

When he held the spear with both hands and wielded it, the spear vibrated and gave out a buzz. The vibration hit their eardrums and cast a chill over them.

“This… This is a great spear!” Chen Yifan’s eyes lit up, and he could not hide his excitement. “Come, let me test it out!”

Subsequently, he turned and entered the courtyard, which was arranged for him, with the spear.

Zhang Minghe, Ou Yangming, and the other people looked at each other. They were aware of Chen Yifan’s character, but they thought he was being too willful.

Old Craftsman let out a dry cough and said, “Ah, that’s just how General Chen is—direct. Heh, let’s go in too.”

“Yes, yes.” Zhong Yunda nodded and agreed with the old man.
