The Revenge of the Reborn Supreme Sovereign-Chapter 279 - 275: Talking Nonsense with a Straight Face! (2)

"Master Qin!" Ye Jiguang called out softly when he saw Qin Fan fall into a solemn silence.

"Master Qin, what are your thoughts? Would you be willing to help our Northwest Military Region wipe away our past disgrace?" Han Rongguang hurriedly chimed in.

To the side, Ye Congjun's expression turned profound and thoughtful. Does Qin Fan's expression mean he might accept Han Rongguang's invitation? The thought suddenly struck him. Qin Fan's moves were too unconventional.

Before he could ponder any further, Qin Fan's lips curved into a faint smile. "I only have one month!"

"Master Qin, does this mean you've accepted?" Han Rongguang was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened in excitement as he exclaimed joyfully.

"What do you think?" Qin Fan replied flippantly.

"Good, good, good! Thank you, Master Qin! Thank you!" Han Rongguang was ecstatic, his face beaming with joy. The words Ye Congjun had spoken to him over the phone last night suddenly exploded in his mind. As long as Qin Fan agrees, he can definitely help the Northwest Military Region win the crown—absolutely! First place? What would that feel like? To wipe away the shame, hold our heads high, and firmly slap the other military regions in the face? I can't imagine what that would be like, but I know I'll go crazy. The entire Northwest Military Region will go fucking crazy!

"Master Qin, when would you be available to leave?" Ye Jiguang asked urgently.

"This afternoon," Qin Fan replied after a moment of thought.

"Alright, Master Qin, I'll arrange for a plane to pick you up!" Ye Jiguang said hastily, gulping.

"Han Rongguang, oh Han Rongguang, your Northwest Military Region has really struck gold! Young friend Qin, your acceptance truly surprises me! Haha! It seems even the heavens can't bear to see the Northwest Military Region shamed any longer!" After Qin Fan gave his answer, Ye Congjun began to laugh heartily from the side.

Upon hearing this, Qin Fan just smiled and shook his head.

There was only one reason he had accepted Han Rongguang's request: a sense of shared experience made him despise the very word 'disgrace'. He could empathize with the feelings of those so-called Northwest elites being crushed under a mountain of shame. That feeling of not being able to hold one's head high or straighten one's back... he had experienced it himself. He knew just how painful, frustrating, and resentful it felt. That's why he agreed. Besides, he was idle anyway. A trip to the military region wasn't a bad choice; he could just treat it as a short vacation to clear his mind.

"That said, Elder Ye, I'll still need you to speak with my parents and come up with an excuse for me to go. Otherwise, they'll start worrying needlessly once I'm gone," Qin Fan said.

"No problem!" Ye Congjun smiled. "Han and I will personally explain it to your parents. We'll say the Northwest Military Region has invited you to experience military life for a bit. How does that sound?"

"That works," Qin Fan nodded.

「Outside the villa.」

Qin Chu's Mercedes had already pulled up to the gate.

"Huh? Isn't that license plate from Elder Ye's car? Is Elder Ye visiting us?" Qin Chu murmured in astonishment as he slowed down. Although he had met and greeted Ye Congjun during a morning run from the urban village to Half Mountain Villa, that was some time ago. Seeing the elder's official car parked behind their gate now was inevitably surprising.

"It's possible! Let's hurry inside and see!" At Wei Shuying's urging, Qin Chu quickly drove the Mercedes onto the estate.

The couple walked inside, side by side, at a brisk pace.

"Dad, Mom!" Qin Fan strode forward to greet the approaching Qin Chu and Wei Shuying with a smile.

"Fan, do we have guests?" Qin Chu and Wei Shuying asked in unison, looking at the three figures behind their son.

"Little Chu, Shuying, it's me! Old man Ye, haha, long time no see!" Brimming with vitality and looking nothing like a man in his seventies, Ye Congjun turned, stepped forward with a hearty laugh, and extended his hand toward the couple.

Little Chu? Shuying?

Hearing the affectionate forms of address, Qin Chu and Wei Shuying were visibly flattered. Still bewildered, they shook Ye Congjun's hand.

"Elder Ye! Your presence brings light to our humble home!" they said repeatedly.

"It is my good fortune to be able to visit your home! Haha!" Ever since Qin Fan had revitalized his body, it seemed Ye Congjun had developed a fondness for laughing—and it was always a deep, hearty laugh.

After a few pleasantries, he continued, "Little Chu, Shuying, come, let me make some introductions. This is my son, Ye Jiguang; you've probably met him. And this is Han Rongguang, a top leader in the Northwest Military Region. You must have heard of him!"

"Mr. Qin, Mrs. Qin, hello!" Han Rongguang also quickly extended his hand toward them, his face wreathed in an affable smile.

Han Rongguang? Isn't that the one who was promoted to a two-star general at the military award ceremony half a month ago? This... what on earth is going on?

Qin Chu and Wei Shuying were utterly dumbfounded. Amid their astonishment, they shook hands with Han Rongguang one after the other.

Following the handshake with Han Rongguang, Ye Jiguang also stepped forward with a smile to greet them and shake their hands.

After the handshakes and greetings were over, Qin Chu managed to compose himself.

"Little Chu, it's like this," Ye Congjun began. "Young Qin's unprecedented perfect score in the college entrance examination has also received recognition from the Supreme Bureau. Hence, the Northwest Military Region has specially invited him for a month of special training to further his all-around development! Since young Han was visiting me here in Jiangzhou, he came along as well! So, Little Chu, Shuying, as parents, you're not going to disagree, are you? Haha!"

What did it mean to spout nonsense with a straight face? Qin Fan was witnessing a masterclass. Looking at Ye Congjun's flawless expression, who could have possibly imagined that the nationally renowned Elder Ye's skill at bluffing had reached such a sublime realm? Forget his parents; if Qin Fan hadn't been the person in question, he himself would have likely believed Ye Congjun's jovial speech!

"We agree, of course we agree!" As soon as Ye Congjun finished speaking, Qin Chu and Wei Shuying immediately exclaimed, their faces flushing with excitement.

To receive recognition from the Supreme Bureau and be personally invited by Han himself to train in a military region—what a tremendous honor!

"Elder Ye, when will Fan go?" Wei Shuying asked urgently.

"This very afternoon. Is that alright?" Ye Congjun asked.

"Yes! Absolutely! It's a great opportunity for that little rascal to have his rough edges smoothed out and his arrogance tempered in the army!" Qin Chu said emphatically.

He'd always had a dream of being a soldier, a dream that he had even extended to his hopes for Qin Fan. But given that he had only one son, combined with Qin Fan's previously displayed cowardice, he had long since abandoned that notion. Now that Qin Fan had been invited by the military for training, he, the father, was more excited than anyone.

"That settles it, then. It's getting late, so we'll be heading back now," Ye Congjun said with a smile, patting Qin Chu's arm as he took his leave.

"Elder Ye, let us see you out!" Qin Chu and Wei Shuying replied at once, following them outside.
