Chapter 2368

Regarding the future, while Ye Chen was full of hope, he was also full of vigilance and caution.

The overall strength of the Wanlong Palace is indeed very strong, but that is only considered strong in the existing known world. The powerful opponents hidden in the dark are likely much stronger than the Wanlong Palace.

Therefore, Ye Chen felt that in the future, he must not only continue to improve his own strength but also continue to linearly improve the strength of the entire Wanlong Palace. In case he has to go head-to-head with those mysterious opponents in the future, he would at least have a few more chances of winning.

Wan Pojun understood Ye Chen's character and immediately expressed his stance respectfully: "Please rest assured, Mr. Ye. Your subordinate will never feel complacent because of his own strength or the strength of the Wanlong Palace! And I will never underestimate the enemy because of my own strength or the strength of the Wanlong Palace!"

Ye Chen nodded with satisfaction and said lightly: "With this mindset, I have a few more expectations for the future of the Wanlong Palace!"

After saying this, he waved his hand and said: "Come, let the brothers line up to receive the liquor!"

"Good!" Wan Pojun could not hide his excitement and immediately turned to go outside, saying loudly to the hundred-plus elite members of the Wanlong Palace in the courtyard: "Brothers, Mr. Ye has specially prepared unique, excellent liquor to celebrate your success. Believe me, this liquor is worth ten thousand gold to you! It is a tremendous opportunity!"

As he spoke, he immediately said: "Attention everyone! Starting from the first row, line up from left to right to receive the liquor. Everyone remember, do not spill a single drop, otherwise you will regret it for a lifetime!"

Everyone was confused.

They couldn't figure out what kind of liquor could be worth ten thousand gold, or even cause one to regret it for a lifetime if a single drop were spilled.

However, they did not underestimate Wan Pojun's words because they knew Ye Chen was an unfathomable top-tier expert. Even the Palace Master Wan Pojun was willing to join his ranks, so the liquor he gave was definitely not an ordinary item.

Consequently, everyone stood straight and, starting from the first row, lined up one by one before Ye Chen to receive a glass of liquor with a capacity of about forty to fifty milliliters.

Wan Pojun specifically instructed everyone not to drink it secretly in advance, and that they must wait for Ye Chen to speak before everyone drank together!

The organizational discipline of the Wanlong Palace goes without saying. Everyone who received a glass held it steadily with both arms parallel to the ground and at a 90-degree angle, not daring to be careless in the slightest.

And Ye Chen, without any of the high-and-mighty airs of a Wanlong Palace master, personally handed a glass to every Wanlong Palace soldier.

This also made all the Wanlong Palace soldiers feel flattered. Such treatment, let alone experiencing it from Ye Chen, had not even been given by Wan Pojun.

Just as Ye Chen had handed a glass to one soldier and lowered his head to pick up another, he did not expect that the person standing in front of him would be his old acquaintance, the illegitimate daughter of Su Shoudao of the Su family, Su Ruoli!

At this time, Su Ruoli looked at him with affectionate eyes and a shy smile. She couldn't help but purse her thin cherry lips and said with a bit of nervousness: "Hello, Mr. Ye..."

Ye Chen asked in surprise: "Ruoli, why are you here?"

Some time ago, Su Ruoli was pursued by the Chinese super-detective Li Yalin in New York. To prevent her from being caught by Li Yalin, Ye Chen had already arranged for Wan Pojun to have her leave the United States by ship, transferring to a plane in Cuba to return to China.

But Ye Chen did not expect that he would see Su Ruoli here.

Moreover, for a long time just now, he had been in the underground operating room. After Su Ruoli followed the other Wanlong Palace soldiers to charge in, she was left above and never went down, so the two had no chance to meet. Only now did Ye Chen discover that Su Ruoli had also come to Mexico.

Su Ruoli looked at Ye Chen affectionately and said shyly: "Mr. Ye... Palace Master Wan said you had a mission for everyone that required three-star martial artists or above to participate. I was just enough of a three-star martial artist, so I flew over from the country."

Ye Chen nodded gently and asked with a smile: "You didn't use your real identity this time, did you?"

"No." Su Ruoli stood with her back to the other Wanlong Palace soldiers, so she playfully stuck her tongue out at Ye Chen and said: "I used a brand new identity this time."

"Good." Ye Chen smiled slightly, handed her the liquor, and said politely, just as he had to the others: "Thank you for your hard work today!"

Su Ruoli quickly shook her head and said: "It's not hard work, not hard work... Being able to serve you, Mr. Ye, is Ruoli's honor!"

Ye Chen said with a smile: "Alright, return to the ranks. We'll talk in detail after we go back. You will return to the United States with me tonight; I still have some things I need your help with."

Su Ruoli said with some trepidation: "Mr. Ye, that Chinese super-detective has been pursuing me. If I go to the United States now, won't I cause you trouble?"

Ye Chen shook his head and sighed: "Li Yalin can no longer pursue you. He had an incident some time ago. After his incident, the cases he led previously were basically dropped. Plus, you have already changed to a new identity, so there won't be any problems."

"That's good! As long as I don't cause you trouble, Mr. Ye, then Ruoli has no problems. I will listen to everything you say, Mr. Ye!" Su Ruoli felt relieved. Thinking that she could return to the United States with Ye Chen, her mood became even happier.

Her coming here this time was secondary to the mission; she mainly wanted to see Ye Chen. After all, she thought about him day and night in her heart, so she naturally wanted to find an opportunity to see him.

But Su Ruoli had originally felt some regret that she had almost no chance to see Ye Chen on this mission. Now that she had finally met him, she estimated that after everyone drank the celebratory liquor, they would immediately disperse, and she would have to return to her country, meaning she would only see Ye Chen once.

But now it couldn't be better. After the celebratory liquor was finished, she could return to the United States with Ye Chen, which meant there would be more opportunities to meet and spend time with Ye Chen in the future.

Subsequently, Su Ruoli held her glass and happily returned to the ranks.

And after everyone in the Wanlong Palace had received the celebratory liquor and returned to their positions, Ye Chen picked up the last two glasses and handed one of them to Wan Pojun.

Wan Pojun respectfully held the glass with both hands, then turned and returned to the front of the ranks, standing with the other Wanlong Palace soldiers.

Ye Chen stood in front of everyone, raised his glass with one hand, and said loudly: "Today, the performance of all the soldiers has made me, Ye Chen, look at you with new eyes! I didn't expect everyone to complete the mission so beautifully, without any hesitation, and not even a single brother was injured in this mission! In my opinion, the performance of everyone in this mission is perfect in every sense! To celebrate your success, I have specially prepared this celebratory liquor. Thank you all for following me. Please, brothers, do me the honor of raising your glasses and drinking this celebratory liquor with me!"

Wan Pojun said loudly: "Your subordinate thanks Mr. Ye for his favor and is willing to drink this cup with Mr. Ye!"

Everyone followed suit and said in unison: "Your subordinate thanks Mr. Ye for his favor and is willing to drink this cup with Mr. Ye!"

Ye Chen nodded with satisfaction and shouted heroically: "Good! Bottoms up!"

Everyone also replied in unison: "Bottoms up!"
