Jiang Chen, Zeng Xianyi, and Li Yang had a discussion about the matters of gods and demons. It was evident that both Zeng Xianyi and Li Yang remained skeptical; after all, in modern society, such things were difficult to accept with just a few words. This skepticism was understandable. Even in the world of martial arts, it was hard to believe in the existence of true immortals. In this world, especially among those who considered themselves clever, people tended to only believe what they could see.
Li Yang was one such person. His newfound respect for Jiang Chen stemmed from firsthand experience. If Jiang Chen hadn't taken action against the elders of the Holy Witch Cult, Li Yang would likely still be doubting his abilities. Jiang Chen did not expect Zeng Xianyi or Li Yang to immediately believe in the existence of gods and demons; he aimed to prepare them psychologically so that when the time came, their acceptance wouldn't be too shocking.
After dinner, darkness enveloped the sky.
"Mr. Jiang, Director Li, Chief Zeng, it's still early. How about we take a night tour of Tuojiang?" Liao Yangmai suggested.
"That sounds wonderful," Jiang Chen nodded in agreement.
Under the sparse moonlight, a painted boat drifted slowly on Tuojiang. The night scene of Fenglin City was dazzling with lights, and along the riverside, many places were holding bonfire parties, creating a lively atmosphere.
"Xiangxi is truly a perfect place for retirement. If I ever retire, I would definitely spend some time living here," Zeng Xianyi remarked with a smile.
"Indeed, such a place shouldn't allow outsiders to run rampant," Li Yang concurred.
"Li Brother, however, Huaxia is indeed full of hidden talents. Beneath this calm surface, I fear there are undercurrents we cannot control," Zeng Xianyi said thoughtfully, his gaze fixed on Jiang Chen standing on the deck of the boat.
"As for Huaxia, I'm not worried; my concern lies abroad. The recent incident with the Holy Witch Cult has taught us a lesson. Brother Yi, I believe your Dragon Martial Institute should play some other roles. Our greatest martial arts force in Huaxia consists of those Hidden Sects and families. You should recruit them; if there are martial arts matters at hand, we should call upon them for assistance. After all, those Hidden Sects are the true inheritors of Huaxia Martial Arts and far stronger than your Martial Arts Special Forces," Li Yang whispered.
"Forget it; those Hidden Sects won't give me face. It's good enough that they don't cause trouble. Besides, having Mr. Jiang on my side is sufficient. If I were to say that Mr. Jiang alone could rival all the Hidden Sects and families combined, do you believe it, Li Brother?" Zeng Xianyi chuckled.
"I somewhat believe it now. This Mr. Jiang has indeed surprised and shocked me; however, he seems rather reckless and difficult to manage," Li Yang said quietly as he leaned closer to Zeng Xianyi.
"That's what I'm worried about too. But fortunately, he has accepted the position of Chief Instructor of the Martial Arts Special Forces. Once we handle matters in Xiangxi and return to the capital, I will officially confer him the title of Major General Jiang. With that status, he will be a legitimate official; as long as he holds this identity, I believe he won't overstep certain boundaries," Zeng Xianyi replied.
Jiang Chen paid little attention to Zeng Xianyi and Li Yang's hushed conversation; even if he overheard them, he would merely smile it off. It was normal for officials to have concerns, but Jiang Chen asked himself if his actions would harm Huaxia—and he felt no guilt in his heart.
He had eliminated those who deserved it without affecting the overall situation of Huaxia. Moreover, as long as Jiang Chen existed, Huaxia would surely gain prominence among countless races in the universe in the future.
