Chapter 536

Just those two, following He Yiran and blocking Su Yang, was enough to make He Gang dislike them!

He Gang felt that they must have had a hand in turning his grandson into what he is now.

Such people absolutely cannot be allowed to stay by his grandson's side!

He Gang spoke in a cold tone: "Since they're old classmates of Yiran's, they must also be Beast Tamer practitioners! Aren't we short on personnel lately? Draft them into service and send them to fight the Shoushen Sect—consider it training."

"Yes, General!"

If He Gang said he was short on personnel, then he was definitely short on personnel!

As for "training," that was just a euphemism.

Who knows? They might lose their lives in the process.

On the battlefield, everything changes in an instant—anything could happen.

Early the next morning, Worm Train No. 1056 arrived again at Yilan City Station.

Back at the guesthouse, Su Yang brought Liu Mengyun to the military headquarters, where they met General He Gang and Zhou Wanshan.

"General He, what happened yesterday was my impulsive mistake!"

As soon as they met, Su Yang sincerely apologized to He Gang.

He Gang had intended to scold Su Yang verbally, but he hadn't expected this from him.

Well then!

If he now said anything further, it would seem petty and narrow-minded!

"Forget it—Yiran made mistakes too!" He Gang swallowed his anger, but letting Su Yang off so easily still left him with a small resentment: "I won't say more, but prepare yourself—I'll report the full truth to General Qin."

Su Yang replied sincerely: "I admit my fault—I'm willing to accept punishment from General Qin!"

He said that, but Su Yang didn't care at all about He Gang's "small" threat.

He didn't even feel he'd done anything wrong!

He was still in the west and would continue his mission.

He hadn't returned to the southwest, so he couldn't be accused of disobeying military orders.

At most, it was just a minor friction between different units—a little unpleasantness.

What was this small friction, really?

He Gang didn't know Su Yang's thoughts—if he did, he'd surely rage until he spat blood!

"I'll send someone to bring Yiran over to apologize to you!"

He Gang now only wants to quickly end this matter and return to his duties.

Su Yang suddenly spoke: "General He, about your grandson He Yiran, there's something I'm not sure whether I should say or not."

"Go ahead."

He Gang was genuinely curious what Su Yang wanted to say.

Especially since it involved his grandson.

"Yesterday, I didn't sense much of a soldier's spirit on He Yiran…"

Zhou Wanshan and Liu Mengyun grew tense—they hadn't expected Su Yang to say something like that!

He Gang's face stiffened.

To say his grandson lacked a soldier's spirit was an outright insult!

He was the only General in the Western Military Headquarters.

His grandson He Yiran was a soldier!

He planned to raise his grandson into a soldier!

How could He Yiran possibly lack a soldier's spirit?

He Gang didn't immediately lose his temper; he merely stared blankly and said: "Speak. Say it. Let me be convinced of your point."

"What I mean is, He Yiran shows no trace of iron-blooded resolve—he hasn't fought in a long time, and he has none of the aura a soldier should carry!" Su Yang rubbed his nose and frowned. "Instead, I sense his gaze is hollow, his stance unstable—he seems to have recently indulged a bit in wine and women."

"Su Yang, are you certain? Don't you dare slander my grandson!"

"I specialize in tracking and reconnaissance—I'm exceptionally good at reading people, and I rarely make mistakes!" Su Yang said solemnly. "General He, I truly respect you. I admit I wanted to retaliate against He Yiran, but I would never lie to you… He Yiran told me he once held the title of Western Region's Top Prodigy Beast Tamer—I suspect you have high expectations for him."

"You're certain?"

He Gang narrowed his eyes, staring fixedly at Su Yang.

Everyone in the room sensed the danger in the air.

"Not certain—but I'm eighty percent sure," Su Yang said seriously. "General He, you can investigate."

Eighty percent certainty was already very high!
