The gaze I possess is unique to the Shadow Garb Bureau, known as "Wolf Nature."
The people of the Shadow Garb Bureau are always eager for talent.
As long as someone is useful, we will do our utmost to recruit them.
I slowly asked, "Can you tell me how you came to know Fan Tianxing?"
Leiming Yuan was silent for a moment before saying, "I once submitted a memorial at the Fan State Imperial Academy titled 'The Essentials of Continuous Firing.' After reading it, Fan Tianxing found my theory quite innovative and wrote to invite me to Vajra State to research together."
I was taken aback. "The Essentials of Continuous Firing? You wrote that?"
Leiming Yuan nodded. "Yes."
I continued, "But aren't you in medicine and alchemy? How did you end up researching firearms?"
Leiming Yuan smiled and replied, "I am someone who enjoys exploring unknown fields, and I believe that only by integrating various types of knowledge can we unleash the greatest power."
Looking at him, I couldn't help but feel a deep respect.
This Leiming Yuan is indeed a genius!
His academic philosophy is remarkably advanced, even a century later!
I said solemnly, "So what are your plans now?"
Leiming Yuan thought for a moment and said, "I want to find a place to settle down first and then figure things out slowly."
I offered, "You can temporarily stay at my place."
Leiming Yuan looked surprised. "Your place?"
I nodded slightly and said, "Yes, I live in an inn where there are many vacant rooms."
Leiming Yuan exclaimed with joy, "That's great! Thank you!"
I smiled faintly and replied, "No need to be polite."
After we finished our meal and settled the bill, we left the tavern.
Just as we stepped out of the tavern, we suddenly heard a chorus of shouts from outside: "New development! New development! The notorious bandit Golden Tiger from the Southern Province has accepted the imperial court's offer!"
I was sitting alone in a tavern in Nanjiang, facing Madam Chen.
I picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Madam Chen.
Madam Chen looked at the teacup and frowned, "What kind of tea is this?"
I replied, "This is Longjing tea."
Madam Chen said, "I dislike Longjing tea; I prefer Oolong tea."
I chuckled and said, "Then let me get you a different cup."
With that, I took the teapot and brewed her a cup of Oolong tea.
Madam Chen took a sip and remarked lightly, "You really know how to please women."
I smiled and said, "You're too kind."
Madam Chen stared at me and slowly said, "Ye Yifan, I know who you are."
I was taken aback for a moment and asked, "Oh? You know who I am?"
Madam Chen said in a low voice, "You are from the Military Secret Intelligence Division."
I was surprised and asked, "How do you know?"
Madam Chen replied, "It doesn't matter how I know; what matters is that I know you are from the Military Secret Intelligence Division."
I remained silent for a moment before saying, "Even if you know, what can you do about it?"
Madam Chen sneered, "Aren't you afraid I will expose your identity?"
I smiled faintly and said, "Since I dared to tell you, I'm not afraid of you exposing it."
Madam Chen furrowed her brows and looked at me, asking, "Aren't you afraid of death?"
I replied calmly, "I'm afraid of death, but I'm even more afraid of dying without meaning."
Madam Chen gazed at me, her expression gradually softening as she said softly, "You don't seem like a bad person."
I chuckled and asked, "Then what do you think I resemble?"
Madam Chen thought for a moment and said, "You resemble a hero."
