Ye Fan didn't waste any time.
He had been spending almost all his time on cultivation.
He had recently mastered the third level of Invoke the Celestial Cloud, so he needed to stabilize it.
Other than that, Ye Fan would also practice the Cloud and Mist Sword Technique that he had learnt from Yu Yun.
More importantly, Ye Fan had been preparing to make the defense formation.
The Invoke the Celestial Sky Formation wasn't a simple technique, so even Ye Fan needed a few days to finish it.
Also, he needed almost an entire month to prepare and check everything.
However, Ye Fan had no other choice.
Regardless of the difficulties, he had to do it.
Otherwise, if any other families like the Lu and the Xur families wanted to enter
Jiangdong while Ye Fan wasn't around, who else could protect his family?
Qing Tan and Tong Shan lacked experience after all. In order to resolve this concern once and for all, creating the Invoke the Celestial Sky Formation was Ye Fan's best option.
However, Ye Fan's peaceful life in Yunzhou was not meant to last. At night, he suddenly received a call from Lin Qing-He.
He called to say it was almost Commander Wu Yang's 50th birthday and told Ye Fan to come over and celebrate it.
Since Ye Fan abhorred social events, he rejected him.
The next day, Wu Yang's birthday celebrations commenced.
Many soldiers from Jiangdong came by to celebrate Wu Yang's birthday, so the place was packed.
Celebrities and elites from all industries gathered at Wu Yang's home.
"Qing-He, where is Instructor Chu? Get him to come over and drink with me. I'd like to matchmake him with someone,” Wu Yang brought up Ye Fan halfway through the banquet.
But he was unable to find Ye Fan after looking around for a long time, so he decided to ask Lin Qing-He.
Wu Yang admired Ye Fan a lot.
Since Ye Fan was able to accomplish so much at such young age, he had a bright future.
Wu Yang naturally wanted such talent to be a part of his family.
Hence, he wanted to match-make Ye Fan with his own niece.
"Commander, I don't even want to talk about him. He's an ingrate and definitely has some flaws in his character. Even though you always have him on your mind, he didn't even bother to turn up and celebrate your birthday. I called him yesterday, but he said he wasn't free and hung up on me right away," said Lin Qing-He as he shook his head.
"Commander, I'm just thinking of the big picture here! I admit Instructor Chu is remarkable, but he is very young. Is he really capable of teaching those troops and leading them? If anything goes wrong with the Green Dragon Force, it's not just a matter of embarrassment. Wouldn't we be held accountable too?" said Lin Qing-He deeply.
Lin Qing-He certainly made sense.
Wu Yang couldn't help feeling worried. His face looked serious, but he didn't say a word.
Lin Qing-He continued, "Also, Master Chen is highly respected, capable, experienced, and has many exceptional disciples. If you let him be the deputy trainer, it would help to make up for Instructor Chu's shortcomings and help keep an eye on him. It's perfect, right?"
Wu Yang nodded. "I agree. Since Instructor Chu is pretty young, he certainly is more inexperienced than Master Chen. It would be a boon for Master Chen to assist with training."
"Why don't we bring Master Chen to the base and have a chat with Instructor Chu after lunch?"
Although Wu Yang was the commander, he had to consider his subordinate's feelings.
He couldn't decide right away, and it all hinged on how Ye Fan reacted.
Since the banquet started early, it ended early too.
The party was over by 2PM and all the guests had left.
Wu Yang and Lin Qing-He hurried over to the Green Dragon Force's training grounds.
Chen Lan and his disciple went along with them.
