Not long after, Lin Ye followed Shi Ruifeng into an extremely plain office.
A gunmetal-gray desk and a few chairs. On the wall hung a massive military map of the fallen territories. There was nothing else.
Wang Lingchuan was already waiting there.
Upon seeing Lin Ye enter, his usual stern and serious demeanor changed, and a genuine smile spread across his face.
Wang Lingchuan looked Lin Ye up and down a few times, his gaze filled with undisguised admiration.
"Impressive. It's true that heroes are often young."
"I must admit, we really underestimated you."
Wang Lingchuan's voice was steady and powerful, each word carrying great weight.
"Lin Ye, you have won over me and all my subordinates with your strength and your concrete achievements."
"I don't know how you were treated back in school."
"But this is the army."
"We are Great Xia's frontline against the Celestial Abyss. In the military, we don't have so many unnecessary frills and formalities!"
