Today is the fourteenth day of the lunar calendar, and the moon is much brighter, surrounded by many stars.
Looking out, it feels as though the magnificent starry river can be fully captured in view.
Ye Chen smiled and said, "There used to be so many cars, the stars were long hidden by the smog."
Huo Yu laughed, "Yes, thinking back to how life used to be, there’s still a bit of nostalgia. Life was so simple then, going to work, getting off work, eating, drinking, having fun, living a life you could see to the end of at a glance. But now, who knows what will happen the next day. Old brother Ye Chen, do you prefer life now or the past?"
Ye Chen rubbed his temples with both hands and laughed, "How should I put it, both have their advantages. I’m not like you; I used to be a small figure at the bottom, worrying even about food every day, living a life calculated to the penny. Sotis, if I ate sothing a bit better, I’d be unable to pay next month’s rent."
After listening, Huo Yu was silent for a mont, then finally said, "True, but things are different now. You are the Alliance Leader of the Star Alliance, a LV17 Saint Tier Pet Tar. Once you kill the Cyan Emperor, the entire Qing County will belong to you. As the saying goes, life has its ups and downs; thirty years to the east of the river, thirty years to the west! Hahaha!"
Ye Chen also grinned but said nothing more.
What Huo Yu said was indeed correct. If it weren’t for these chaotic tis, I’d still be living in that tiny rented room, working my life away for such a ager salary.
But now, everything has changed drastically. Otherwise, how could the Orange Dragon Health Care boss Zhang Yuzhen have any contact with , Ye Chen?
And how could I be lying here watching stars with this chief of the law enforcent bureau? Clearly, this was impossible.
But Ye Chen knew, with greater power cos greater responsibility, and fate dealt him a different hand, bestowing sothing unusual upon him.
That ans his destiny is bound to be quite different, with many things ahead to face.
Getting stronger! Getting stronger! Getting stronger is the real way, to protect those I wish to protect!
In no ti, Zhu Qiang and others returned, faces all beaming with joy.
Coming up to Ye Chen, they chuckled and said, "Brother Chen, it’s all resolved. Our brothers are smart, knew to use tools for interference, not to confront directly, that flanking tactic was top-notch, even better than those railway guerrillas back then, not losing a single brother! Haha!"
The other mbers laughed heartily, "Alliance Leader, it’s all thanks to our captain’s good arrangents!"
Liang Yiqiang scratched his head and laughed, "It’s all thanks to Brother Zhang Haonan. If not for his laboring over tactics all night, we wouldn’t have fought so easily!"
Ye Chen looked at Zhang Haonan and praised, "Well done!"
Zhang Haonan chuckled twice.
Huo Yu stood up and laughed, "You’ve all worked hard, after a long day, let’s sit down and have sothing to eat, Golden Pupil, go to the kitchen, get them to start cooking, let’s all sit together for a good celebration!"
"Okay!"
Golden Pupil was the na of a comrade of Huo Yu.
"Oh! Yeah! Celebration, celebration, haven’t eaten much all day!"
"Haha, beer in hand, delicious food!"
The Star Alliance mbers shouted excitedly.
The first large-scale battle with the Cyan Alliance was a resounding success, a complete victory.
Everyone was extrely excited and thrilled.
Ye Chen and four others, along with Zhang Yuzhen and four captains, and Huo Yu’s seven people sat together.
Under the leadership of Ye Chen and Huo Yu, they each made self-introductions.
The nas of Huo Yu’s six comrades were committed to Ye Chen’s mind.
Golden Pupil, forr Cyan Alliance Elder, LV15 Pet Tar.
Yellow Springs, forr Cyan Alliance Elder, LV15 Pet Tar.
Bei Wu, forr Cyan Alliance Hall Master, LV14 Pet Tar.
Nan Que, forr Cyan Alliance Hall Master, LV14 Pet Tar.
Dongqing, forr Cyan Alliance Hall Master, LV14 Pet Tar.
Xihu, forr Cyan Alliance Hall Master, LV14 Pet Tar.
The four LV14 Pet Tars correspond to the four directions east, west, south, north, and are brothers not related by blood.
They were all Huo Yu’s subordinates before, brothers who went through thick and thin together.
And perfectly their pets were Ultimate Venerable pets, cooperating very harmoniously.
Golden Pupil and Yellow Springs were also sworn brothers of Huo Yu, a relationship so close as to share trousers.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t have followed Huo Yu in turning against the Cyan Alliance.
In no ti, dishes were served, and drinks were poured.
These chefs were once head chefs in renowned Qing County restaurants, forcibly recruited by the Cyan Emperor during the chaotic tis, serving him here.
Ye Chen knew, this victory had Huo Yu and his friends as the greatest contributors. He raised his glass to the seven and said, "Big brother Huo Yu, thank you to all of you this ti, I toast to you."
Huo Yu and his companions quickly picked up their glasses, and Huo Yu smiled, "Old brother Ye Chen, you’re being too polite. We’re all family; no need for formalities."
While speaking, Huo Yu even winked at Ye Chen.
Ye Chen was montarily taken aback, realizing that Chen Ruxin had told Huo Yu everything.
Ye Chen could only play along and said, "Yes, we are all family."
Golden Pupil, unaware the words had a hidden aning, thought only of brotherhood and raised his glass, saying, "Alliance Leader Ye, we’ve turned against the Cyan Alliance and have nowhere to return to. Your Star Alliance can’t refuse to take us in."
This matter was exactly what Ye Chen wanted; the six of them were indeed formidable warriors, as the recent battle showed.
Each one had the blood of forr soldiers flowing through their veins, fighting as if they didn’t care for their lives.
Ye Chen nodded and smiled, "Of course, that is exactly what I, Ye Chen, wish for. From now on, we are all family. You all join the Star Alliance and will receive positions as Elders!"
"Hahaha! Brother Ye Chen, let’s drink to that!"
"Brother Ye Chen, you’re straightforward, I toast this to you!"
All were brothers to Huo Yu, and with Ye Chen, they skipped the formalities of calling him Alliance Leader, referring to him as brother instead.
After drinking three glasses, everyone sat down.
On the side, the Star Alliance mbers were also fervently drinking.
Zhu Qiang, looking at everyone, said excitedly, "Brother Chen, I never thought our Star Alliance would co this far. These people are all our Star Alliance brothers. I can’t believe I’m a Vice Alliance Leader, it feels like I’m dreaming!"
Lin Nuoyi gave Zhu Qiang a sideways look and said, "Eat your food; you know you’re a Vice Alliance Leader, so act like one. Don’t embarrass Ye Chen."
"Of course!"
After a while, Ye Chen and Huo Yu sat together, talking.
Golden Pupil and the six were drinking with Zhang Haonan and his four, plus Zhu Qiang, Iron Bull, and Zhang Yuzhen, making seven in total.
Lin Nuoyi and Yu Nian, being won, naturally were not made to drink.
Golden Pupil and the others were all heavy drinkers, while Zhu Qiang wasn’t good with alcohol and soon felt tipsy.
But Iron Bull was taking glass after glass without stopping; who knew he could drink so well?
