Chapter 510: Chapter 509: Darkness Surges
"I’ve actually considered the idea of having you serve in the Military Department for quite some time," Qin Yanyang said to Yang Fei. "It was postponed due to some unexpected incidents and your trip to the Hidden Sect."
Yang Fei asked, "If I were to serve there, would I need to go to work?"
Qin Yanyang glanced at him and asked, "Do you prefer to have a laid-back role or a busy one?"
Yang Fei replied, "Too much leisure isn’t good, but of course, being too busy isn’t ideal either. I will follow your lead. From now on, whether it’s in life or work, wherever you point, wife, I’ll work there."
"You’re such a flatterer," Qin Yanyang said with a tsk, but her heart was filled with sweetness.
She said, "Actually, the Military Department is one of the most dangerous departments in Divine Continent Country at present. Even though you are my husband, once you serve there, you must obey orders, follow arrangements, and contribute as much as possible to the country."
Yang Fei had never been a soldier, nor had he ever been subjected to such restrictions and controls, but in his bones, he was a descendant of Yanhuang, with blood and thoughts of absolute loyalty to his nation coursing through his veins. He was not averse to this idea, instead, he nodded and said, "As a citizen of the Divine Continent, and as your husband, Qin Yanyang, I certainly have the awareness to serve the country. Don’t worry, wife, I definitely won’t hold you back."
Qin Yanyang nodded in satisfaction.
She knew her own husband well.
Despite having known each other for less than a year, after several months of interaction, Qin Yanyang felt she had already seen through Yang Fei’s true nature.
Her husband, who made a name for himself as the ’Madman King’ overseas, was innately kind and just, with flawless principles, and he hadn’t been brainwashed by alien ideologies abroad. A very clear-headed patriot.
Qin Yanyang was confident that she could guide her husband to a higher position.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have truly fallen for him, let alone entrust herself completely to him.
"The Military Department has been established for several years, but its overall strength is still not enough, especially since the domestic and international situation is tense currently, and the pressure on the Military Department is immense. So, I hope you can help me bolster the strength of the Military Department," Qin Yanyang said earnestly.
When it came to work, she was very serious.
Feeling her pressure, and thinking about how she, the same age as himself, was carrying such a heavy mission, Yang Fei couldn’t help but feel a pang of distress. He gazed at her tenderly and said, "I’m your husband, who else would help you if not me? So, if you have any difficulties, just tell me, and I will definitely support you."
Qin Yanyang said, "Then I will take you seriously."
Yang Fei nodded, "Of course. And if you’re short on manpower, my friends can also be at your disposal."
Qin Yanyang immediately shook her head and said sternly, "Yang Fei, remember one thing. Once you join the Military Department, your identity is no longer individual but belongs to the organization, to the country. Therefore, although you can use your past connections and relationships, you can’t use them the same way as before. Do you understand the difference?"
Seeing her serious expression, Yang Fei became earnest as well and after a moment of thought, he furrowed his brows and said, "Does this mean I even have to be cautious in my dealings with them from now on?"
Qin Yanyang nodded and said regretfully, "I’m sorry, Yang Fei, but this is something we have to sacrifice. So if you can’t do it, I won’t force you to join the Military Department."
Yang Fei pondered for a moment and then asked, "So I just need to be mindful, right?"
Qin Yanyang nodded, "Yes, it all comes down to being mindful."
Yang Fei smiled broadly, "Alright then, for my wife’s career, I, Yang Fei, shall not shirk from my duty."
Qin Yanyang was deeply moved and said, "If it weren’t for this critical period, and if I weren’t under such pressure, I wouldn’t have made such a request of you. Now that you’re willing to help, I feel much more at ease."
Yang Fei felt a little embarrassed and said, "I’ve been used to being free and easy, so don’t have too high expectations of me. By the way, what exactly do you want me to do in the Military Department?"
"You’ll still be doing what you’re good at," said Qin Yanyang.
Yang Fei was taken aback, "What I’m good at is?"
"Hmm, there are two positions that suit you, and you can choose one when the time comes. Before that, you better take care of some other matters first."
Yang Fei nodded, "Indeed, there are some matters that need to be dealt with."
He realized it had been more than two months since he last went to work at the Li Xuantong Medical Hall.
Although he had asked Li Xuantong for leave, the time he had been away from his post was excessively long. Now that he was going to work at the Military Department, it was only proper to say goodbye to Li Xuantong.
He had to meet Qi Tai, Zhang Long, as well as Xu Xingzhou and Xu Mao.
In the past, he had only thought about finding his place and building his own network of strength in Divine Continent. Now, with such a badass wife, and having joined the Military Department, why would he need to make small moves in the Martial Arts World to cultivate power?
But these people were already his friends, and his wife had said that the pressure in the Military Department was great and there was a lack of strength. If he joined, perhaps he could pick some from among these people to join the Military Department and enhance its power.
Thinking this, Yang Fei asked Qin Yanyang, "Are there any requirements for recruiting new people to the Military Department?"
Qin Yanyang immediately understood Yang Fei’s intention and after a brief contemplation, said, "If you trust them, and they have certain capabilities and potential, I can give you some quotas."
Yang Fei was overjoyed and took her hand, saying, "Having a leader for a wife is just awesome."
Qin Yanyang blushed and said, "Don’t talk nonsense, I have principles."
Yang Fei laughed heartily, "Don’t worry, wife, I also have principles and a bottom line."
Qin Yanyang snickered and thought to herself that if she didn’t know he was a person with the right values, with principles and a bottom line, she would never have married him, nor would she have agreed to these conditions.
"Shall I go to the medical hall first?"
"Yes, go ahead. The sooner you finish with your private matters, the sooner you can report to the Military Department."
"Alright."
"Take my car," said Qin Yanyang.
"Got it."
After Yang Fei left, Qin Yanyang looked at the unwashed dishes and couldn’t help but grimace.
He used to wash the dishes and clean the pot immediately after meals, but today he forgot. I hope it wasn’t on purpose, hmph!
After tidying up the kitchen, Qin Yanyang went to her room upstairs and dialed an encrypted phone number for Imperial City, reporting her thoughts.
The higher-ups readily agreed.
After hanging up the phone, her cell phone rang again.
Seeing the caller ID, Qin Yanyang’s eyes flickered and she immediately answered.
"It’s confirmed, the rumor originated from Japan."
At the same time, Yang Fei, who was still at the Li Xuantong Medical Hall, also received a call from Tang Shuwan.
"Japan?" Yang Fei’s eyes narrowed slightly.
"Yes, the information should be correct. The leak came from several Ancient Martial Families in Japan, and they are also fanning the flames in the Underworld, covertly fueling things, encouraging those Martial Artists seeking fame and fortune to go to Divine Continent to find you. Yang Fei, be careful, as there are also those within the Overseas Martial World Alliance who are dissatisfied with you. They might organize a team to go to Divine Continent Country to accuse you," Tang Shuwan kindly warned.
A cold flash flickered in Yang Fei’s eyes, and he snorted, "Accuse me? Haha, what a big talk, who are they to accuse me, what right do they have?"
"Because the Sun Family is a member of the Overseas Martial Arts Alliance, and what happened to the Sun Family is a very tragic matter for them. They want to seek justice for the Sun Family."
"Haha, well, let them come. I’ll be waiting," Yang Fei replied with a cold chuckle.
Tang Shuwan cautioned, "Yang Fei, don’t act recklessly, this matter is not as simple as you think. The current global public opinion in the Underworld seems off, as if an invisible force is driving all dark forces towards the direction of Divine Continent Country. The issues involving you are likely just a trigger, an excuse, so you must remind your wife to be on guard."
"Thank you, Aunt Tang, I understand," Yang Fei thanked her sincerely.
