"Big brother, what the torture captain said is right, that Ye Fan is indeed very arrogant. As soon as he entered the guard camp, in order to provoke me to anger, he first verbally insulted me, and forced him to sit in my place, and only then challenged me. I was also dizzy by that kid, so I lost my hand and lost to him. Otherwise, that kid wouldn't have won me over. His strength is only on par with me. ”

"Hmph! You are embarrassed to say that you don't feel ashamed to lose to a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy, I feel ashamed. Who told you not to practice diligently on weekdays? Who can blame you for losing face now?"

Hearing this, Deputy Cao bowed his head and was silent, but his eyes were full of resentment, but at this moment he was muttering in his heart: "What do you mean that I don't cultivate diligently? Could it be that my talent is worse, so I deserve to be ridiculed like this?"

It seemed that seeing the dissatisfaction of Deputy Cao, Commander Cao secretly shook his head and sighed in his heart, he still knew what kind of person his brother was.

"Forget it, I came to you this time, and I also saw that your cultivation was about to break through, so I wanted to help you again. I have a fire jade lotus seed here that I have treasured for many years. This was more than a decade ago, when I got a few by chance during a mission. Back then, it was with this Fire Jade Lotus Seed that I successfully advanced to the third order, and now only this last one remains. However, although this Fire Jade Lotus Seed is rare and has some help for you to break through the bottleneck, it only has a five percent chance of helping you break through the bottleneck, and the probability of breaking through is very low, so you still have to use it with caution, you must first lay a solid foundation, and feel that you are very sure that you will break through before taking it, so that you can play its role more efficiently and lowly, so that you can break through to the third order in one fell swoop. ”

For his younger brother, Commander Cao still takes great care of him, and he is also very protective of his shortcomings, and he has fulfilled his brother's responsibilities everywhere.

"Thank you, big brother!" Deputy Cao Team took the fire jade lotus seed excitedly, and his face finally showed joy.

The captain of the torture team on the side also showed envy.

Although the Fire Jade Lotus Seed was of little use to him, a Fire Jade Lotus Seed was worth at least 20,000 gold coins, but it was a very cherished thing.

"Okay, the things have been given to you, you go back to the escort team to practice diligently, and strive to break through to the third order as soon as possible, and then I will arrange a captain's position for you, don't do some boring battles with others, and now breaking through the bottleneck is the most important thing for you." ”

Deputy Cao stood in place and did not leave, with a look of doubt on his face.

"What? Do you still have questions?"

"Big brother, I don't want to go back to the Third Guard. ”

Commander Cao was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood something, and sneered: "Yes, you were defeated by a newcomer who had just entered the camp, and it is estimated that you will not have the face to stay in the original escort team." Then you can go to the captain's escort for the time being, and I will issue an order when the time comes. ”

"Thank you, big brother, or big brother understands my thoughts. ”

It turned out that Deputy Cao and Captain Hao turned their faces on the spot, that is, they felt that they had no face to mix in the third escort team, so they simply tore their faces before leaving, and scolded Captain Hao.

"Hmph! If you give me a little bit of energy, let's break through my cultivation quickly. By the way, as for the Ye Fan you mentioned, a newcomer is so arrogant, it's time to sharpen his arrogance. It just so happens that something strange has happened in the Northwest Mine recently, so let's send some guards whose strength has reached the Second Order Great Perfection to go over. I see that this Zhang Shui'er's strength has reached the requirements, so I will send him to the mine to guard for a month!"

The Northwest Mine, which mainly mines iron ore, is one of the main industries of the Xie family, and has long been guarded by several escort teams of the ninth leader of the 'land' word battalion.

Hearing this, Deputy Cao became curious and asked, "Big brother, what happened to the Northwest Mine?"

"Recently, the Northwest Mine has often been attacked by some fierce beasts inexplicably, and many miners and guards have been killed by fierce beasts. Moreover, the number of fierce beasts attacking the mine has become more and more frequent recently, and the level of the fierce beasts that attack the mine is also getting higher and higher, and the third-order fierce beasts have begun to appear in recent times, and the situation is becoming more and more critical. ”

"Big brother, why did the beast suddenly attack the mine? As far as I know, this has never happened before. Generally speaking, as long as there are many people, those fierce beasts will automatically avoid them and will not attack rashly. ”

"I don't know about that right now. During this time, I had so many things to do that I didn't have time to investigate for myself. I wanted to send two more escort teams to increase the defensive strength, but each escort team has its own tasks and cannot be transferred for a while. I'll have to draw some good men from the various escorts to support first. When I'm done with what I'm doing, I'll lead the team over to see what's going on there, and why it's causing the beasts to attack?"

"Listen to the big brother, it's very dangerous in the mine now?"

"Yes! The situation on the other side of the mine is really not good. ”

Hearing this, Deputy Cao showed joy: "So, it must be very dangerous for Ye Fan to go there?"

"There are some dangers in the field guard mission itself, and it would be false to say that there is no danger, but it is not as serious as imagined. This commander just wants to take this opportunity to suppress his arrogance, and he doesn't really want to do anything to him, it's good that you know this in your heart, you should go back first, I still have some things to deal with. ”

At that moment, the deputy of the Cao team and the criminal captain retired to Commander Cao, and both returned to the camp of the fifth guard.

After arriving at the camp, after the captain of the torture team made arrangements for the deputy of the Cao team, he naturally went straight to the inner courtyard of the Xie family, and he wanted to inform Xie Sishao about Ye Fan's advancement to the second order.

The inner courtyard of the Xie family, Xie Sishao's mansion.

After Xie Sishao and Qin Yue got married, they were reassigned to a large mansion.

At the moment, in the west courtyard of the mansion.

Xie Sishao stood up from his seat in surprise, and it was the torture captain standing opposite him.

"Ye Fan, he's back? I heard that he went out on a mission, and there was no news of him for more than seven months, and Ben Shao thought he was dead outside. I didn't expect this little beast to come back alive. Captain Torture, I wonder how that little brute's strength is progressing?"

For Ye Fan, Xie Sishao was most concerned about his strength, and he was most worried that Ye Fan's strength was progressing too fast and beyond his control.

"Fourth Young Master, rest assured, although more than seven months have passed, the progress of that kid's strength is not very amazing, only the fire vitality has broken through, and the other two systems of vitality are still at the first-order level, and the comprehensive strength is slightly stronger than the second-order Great Perfection peak martial artist. It's still easy to deal with him below. ”
