Chapter 196: Options

Mu Ting Ye didn’t know if it was because he was from the Mu Family or because there were other reasons, but the general accepted his request for meeting quickly.

He followed the soldier to the base and was led to the building.

If Yu Shi Lan was here, she would definitely recognize this place as the place where she sensed someone watching the battle between her and Mu Ting Ye back then. Unfortunately, she was not here.

And when Mu Ting Ye came in, he frowned.

Because he felt some kind of pressure that was similar to his master but far weaker. His master is terribly strong and if it was not because he restrained himself, many people wouldn’t even be able to stand in front of him when he exerted the pressure.

He looked up and saw the general standing in front of him, looking back in his direction calmly.

The general was still in his forties, not that old but not that young either.

Mu Ting Ye cupped his fist, a martial artist’s method of greeting. Somewhat old fashioned, but this was indeed still used.

If Yu Shi Lan was here, she would be pleasantly surprised.

Because she herself often used this greeting in the cultivation world. But this greeting methods had long been lost in the current time.

“Mu Ting Ye,” the general called out. “Your brother had called me, saying that you would like to see me. Is it because of Yu Shi Lan?”

Mu Ting Ye nodded, not surprised that the general knew about this. “Part of it is because of her and another one… why is my father so adamant to ask my master to contribute the martial arts?”

He originally thought that the military did need some martial arts…

But he knew that some soldiers are stronger than him, so Mu Ting Ye felt that it was odd. It was also because of this that he kept on rejecting his father’s request.

“That’s Old Mu’s stubbornness.” The general shook his head. “The military has their own exercise and everyone thought theirs are the best, but no one is wiling to let other people learn it openly. It can only spread in limited circle.”

Mu Ting Ye nodded in understanding.

“Then about Yu Shi Lan…”

“It’s not impossible to release her from prison. People from the martial arts world have their own set of conducts.” The general sighed.

Mu Ting Ye frowned. “What do you mean?”

“Literally.”

Literally?

Does that meant there were actually people who could do martial arts on the Green Planet in the places that he couldn’t see?

Mu Ting Ye was confused.

He knew that his father was resistant to let him learn under his master in the past. But after he was being stubborn and even dragged Lin Yuan out, his father finally relented and let him do whatever he wanted.

At that time, Mu Ting Ye was still young and reckless.

…Not that he had already fully grown up, though.

In many people’s eyes, Mu Ting Ye is still a child.

“There’s a world that you can’t see, Mu Ting Ye. A world where only martial artist existed, separated from the modern world.” The general looked at Mu Ting Ye. “Once your strength reached a certain point, staying on the Green Planet is basically an option.”

Because they would feel that their strength improvement stagnated and thus would go looking for a wider world, a world where they could fully unleash their full capabilities.

Mu Ting Ye frowned. “So?”

“Just take a look at this.”

The general handed over a document that Mu Ting Ye read quickly. It was nothing classified and his own brother also knew about these things, but this is the first time Mu Ting Ye ever knew about this.

Now he understood why his father was adamant on asking his master to ’donate’ the practice.

There was a problem at the border.

And this was not the usual border between countries or anything like that, but a border that connected the Green Planet with a different world. They could not enter and the other side couldn’t come in either.

The two sides have been going on a standoff for so many years without any result.

But it changed.

That earthquake leaked a kind of energy from the other side and only the martial artists were capable of enduring it. The areas around the border had become a death zone no one dared to come in.

It was because of this that the general wanted to recruit more people.

Mu Ting Ye’s master was one of them.

“What does this have anything to do with Yu Shi Lan?” Mu Ting Ye finally asked slowly.

The general just looked at Mu Ting Ye.

With the brat’s intelligence, he believed that he could understand what the country actually wanted from Yu Shi Lan.

They wanted her strength, her help.

Mu Ting Ye frowned and said, “It’s impossible.”

People who didn’t know Yu Shi Lan might think that she should be relatively kind and would be willing to help the country once they asked for help.

But Mu Ting Ye didn’t think that way.

He had seen her making a move against the mutated animal back then.

Her movement was extremely swift and ruthless, as if she had fought against these mutated animals for a long time. And when she called him to get those mutated animals’ corpses, Mu Ting Ye also noticed this.

Yu Shi Lan is not a simple girl.

What could a person experienced in such a short period of time to change so much?

But Mu Ting Ye had to say that he never saw her changes.

In his opinion, she has always been like that, the hard to deal with girl with great strength. It was hard to imagine that she had been bullied by others if Mu Ting Ye hadn’t read the investigation result from his brother.

“Why do you think that way?”
