"No matter what kind of person, there are good and bad sides. It's all about how you treat them," Flying Fish expressed his point.

Ye Hao understood what Flying Fish meant. Flying Fish was implying that it depends on Ye Hao's instructions. If Ye Hao orders them to do evil deeds, and they indeed do so, then they are bad people.

If Ye Hao orders them to do evil deeds, but they refuse to do them, then they are good people.

This was Flying Fish's way of finding out what kind of person Ye Hao is. If Ye Hao forces them to commit evil actions, then there's no reason for Flying Fish to follow him, as Flying Fish has his own lifestyle and principles.

"If I asked you to secretly gather intelligence, to watch over people I want monitored, or to keep tabs on someone, would this make you lose your principles?" Ye Hao asked with a smile.

"Not really, but I must say, if you force me to kill innocent people, I won't do it. Killing women and children, I wouldn't do it either, of course! But if it's someone wicked beyond redemption, that's a different story," Flying Fish replied.

"Ring, ring, ring!" At this moment, Ye Hao's phone rang, but he didn't answer it. Instead, he said to Flying Fish:

"Deep down you're not bad. I won't force you to do anything you don't want to do. Now, I'll give you a contact number. You can rest here for now! If you want to follow me, then you must be prepared for the possibility of being taken out by opponents at any moment. If you don't wish to follow me, I won't force you. You can leave on your own." After speaking, Ye Hao wrote down his number.

Then he went out to answer Fang Ni's call.

Fang Ni called Ye Hao simply because she missed him too much and hoped to see him soon.

Ye Hao wouldn't keep her waiting for long, leaving Flying Fish in the entertainment venue to mull things over as he headed towards the Fang Family.

Flying Fish, in the room, pondered over Ye Hao's words. He felt that Ye Hao definitely had a formidable background and many adversaries. These opponents constantly plotted against Ye Hao openly and secretly. If Flying Fish followed Ye Hao, he might inadvertently be killed someday.

Although he wasn't afraid of death, he didn't want to die wrongfully for no reason.

He picked up his things and was about to leave, but hesitated when he reached the doorway.

He secretly asked himself if he was willing to accept this fate. Previously, he shone brilliantly at the eighth level of National Martial Arts, but now he was reduced to wielding only the power of a fourth-level martial artist.

He wasn't reconciled, and no one would be. After all, in life, there are only a few things worth pursuing: power, money, and women.

Though he was interested in women too, he hasn't found a woman he truly fancied for years, so he's not rushing into pursuit.

He was also interested in money, but his accounts were completely frozen, and even if he had money, he couldn't access it.

Now, the only thing left to pursue is strength.

His halted steps turned back towards the hall, where he sat and picked up the phone on the table.

He dialed the number, and when the call connected, Ye Hao directly asked, "Have you decided?"

Flying Fish pondered for a moment and then replied, "I've decided. Even if it means a death worthy of a bird's fall, if I miss this opportunity today, maybe I'll be stuck at the fourth level for life. I'm not reconciled; I still want to break through, to become stronger."

"Good! As long as you're not reconciled, I will create an environment for you, letting you grow stronger and stronger until one day when you confidently say, your choice today was the right one!" Ye Hao said with a smile.

"Yes, boss!"

"Alright, you just rest at that venue! Reach out to me if there's anything, and in a few days I'll take you to Peng City." Ye Hao instructed with a smile.

"Yes, boss!" Flying Fish hung up the phone and went to sleep peacefully.

He wasn't worried about anyone looking for him because the room was booked by Ye Hao, not using his ID!

Ye Hao took a taxi to the Fang Family around two o'clock in the afternoon, his stomach growling.

He thought, perhaps he hadn't eaten much lately; was he even fasting?

Fang Ni was waiting for Ye Hao at the entrance of the cadre compound. Today, Fang Ni wore an elegant long dress, her hair tied up high, with some water powder on her face, making her already charmingly rosy cheeks even more alluring.

After getting out of the car and paying the fare, Ye Hao turned his gaze towards Fang Ni.

Seeing Ye Hao, Fang Ni's eyes welled with tears she couldn't hold back. Earlier, after her father returned home from the Team A meeting, he became silent, making her worry that something might happen to Ye Hao. Now seeing Ye Hao unscathed, she was naturally emotional.

Ignoring the stares of the security guards at the cadre compound, Fang Ni ran in high heels towards Ye Hao and tightly hugged him.

Ye Hao also hugged Fang Ni back, whispering softly in her ear, "Sorry for worrying you."

"I'm just glad you're okay, let's go home!" Fang Ni reluctantly left Ye Hao's embrace, but hugging and cuddling at the main entrance wasn't very appropriate image-wise.

Ye Hao nodded, then amidst the stares from the security personnel at the cadre compound, directly picked up Fang Ni.

Fang Ni wanted to struggle a bit, but feeling comfortable being held by Ye Hao, she refrained from struggling, and Ye Hao carried her home this way.

Back home, Ye Hao, seemingly too exhausted, immediately held Fang Ni and lay down to rest.

Ye Hao was indeed tired, due to the days spent on Thurston Island, he hadn't slept much.

First, the awakening of Frozen Tens of Thousands of Miles' martial arts, then battling with various nations' special forces troops, and after the battle entered the cave to calm Zhang Ruowu's violent spiritual power. Although he successfully calmed Zhang Ruowu's inner spiritual power and rested for a few hours, the following days were spent being guided synchronously by Zhang Ruochen.

Days and nights on Thurston Island were spent cultivating Tai Chi for Ye Hao.

So when he returned to Fang Ni's home, it felt just like his own home, embracing Fang Ni closely as he fell asleep.

Fang Ni gently stroked Ye Hao's cheek, feeling a pang of distress in her heart, thinking Ye Hao was too hard on himself.

Clearly, he could have refused to fight, but when hearing Team A was in trouble, he didn't hesitate to step into the fray.

"Foolish man, don't you think of us? If something happened to you, what would we do?" Fang Ni muttered before curling up beside Ye Hao and fell asleep.

...

In a secluded courtyard in Peng City, a young man wearing a mask looked at the phone message: He has returned.

The young man chuckled, then picked up the courtyard's landline, dialing an international number...

Once connected, after saying a few incomprehensible phrases, a voice from the other end asked:

"Prince, how are things going?"

"Damn it! Things aren't going well, all three top masters were subdued by Lin Tian's people," the young man cursed bluntly.

Silence fell on the other end of the phone...(Continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations or monthly tickets at Qidian (qidian.com). Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read at m.qidian.com.)
