The Right Path
Jia Yi's meaning is quite clear.
Lin Yan currently holds no specific official position, while Jia Yi's idea is that once he possesses the physical attributes of War God level, his Mental Master will also reach the level of High-level War God, thus gaining sufficient self-protection capabilities.
At that time, Lin Yan will take charge of a department to ensure that the fairness of the law is upheld.
In this land, there are quite a few people like Wang Xing'an in the six Base City.
Their elders were powerful, and their families were influential, so they were able to escape the constraints of the law, and Jia Yi and his Jia Yi turned a blind eye to this as well.
Because in today's world, a united front is the mainstream approach when facing monsters.
Which of those famous and powerful figures doesn't have a large family with many children and grandchildren? Even if their family traditions are strict, it's normal for a few bad apples to emerge.
This is not something that cannot be addressed, but it should not be left to them.
After Jia Yi hands this power over to Lin Yan, he will no longer show his support for him; the extent to which he does so will be entirely up to Lin Yan himself.
This made Lin Yan the center of the storm.
Even if the final result is unsatisfactory, they can mediate in time to prevent serious consequences.
Jia Yi never considered doing this, because it was very difficult and it was hard to find a suitable candidate.
One must be strong enough to command respect, not afraid of offending people, and not inflexible; one must be both prudent and decisive.
Most importantly, this person must firmly stand on this position.
Lin Yan did not hesitate and stood up, saying, "Please rest assured, I will do this well."
Within the borders of Huaxia, there will be no Planetary level obstacles. What he needs to do is transform the law from a mere written document into a sword hanging over one's neck.
Everyone needs to know that there are laws to follow, and that laws must be followed.
We must tell them that the weak are not entitled to be bullied. They may lack connections and power, but at least the law can uphold justice.
But that won't work for now. The more important thing right now is that the date for the War God Preparatory Camp is getting closer and closer, and Lin Yan needs to take advantage of this opportunity to grow up as quickly as possible.
Jia Yi said, "You know what? I'm really glad you said those words."
"We are different from others. Many of our soldiers are not martial artists, but just a group of ordinary people who have undergone rigorous training. They are brave and fearless on the battlefield, but the battlefield is a place where people die. It is because of the sacrifice of countless people that we can not give up an inch of land."
"But what will happen to their families after they lose their breadwinner?"
"Perhaps, as you said, the world is sick. I have seen too many people suffering and barely surviving. But even so, in this city, there are still those who are like jackals, further encroaching on their living space."
"We have such a long history, yet there are always people who repeat the same mistakes."
"It really is time for some changes."
His expression was solemn, and he appeared somewhat dignified.
Zhu Xi said, "You're quite bold, kid, daring to question us, but you've said it very well."
"Even the Wang Family, which once produced many heroes, could kill monsters without batting an eye. But over time, people's hearts change, and even heroes can become evil dragons."
"The harm caused by the failure to uphold the law is immense, but this path is not easy, so you must be mentally prepared."
Lin Yan said, "I believe I can."
Zhu Xi laughed and said, "Haha, I believe it too!"
After they each left.
Lin Yan offered to take Wen Zhi'an and his family home, Wen Xiuyong did not refuse.
Wen Xiuyong got into the passenger seat and remained silent the whole way. When Lin Yan looked at the back seat through the rearview mirror, Wen Zhi'an even made a face at him.
Upon arrival, Wen Xiuyong and the others didn't go straight home after getting out of the car. Instead, they asked, "Are you going to the Elite Training Camp at the Limit Martial Hall soon?"
"Right."
Five years?
Wen Xiuyong was also aware of this, knowing that the Elite Training Camp was a five-year program.
Lin Yan immediately replied, "How could that be?"
"It's just the God of War, it won't take too long."
Wen Xiuyong fell into deep thought. Just a war god?
Why is he so confident?
He's still an Intermediate War God Level Mental Master, so it's alright.
"Zhi'an's vacation is almost over, and you probably won't see each other for quite a while. We're going home now, so please say what you need to say to each other now."
Wen Zhi'an was somewhat surprised to hear this, and then secretly glanced at her mother.
Dong Qingci had a cold expression, but she didn't say anything and walked straight towards her door.
Wen Xiuyong smiled and followed.
When Wen Zhi'an saw them return home, she immediately jumped into Lin Yan's arms and said happily, "Lin Yan, you're amazing! You even gave in to someone as stubborn as my mom!"
She was incredibly nervous when she saw her mother that afternoon.
Lin Yan laughed and said, "The main problem is that their little darlings are always siding with outsiders, so there's nothing we can do about it."
"Hmph, you're laughing at me again."
Wen Zhi'an asked curiously, "If I listened to my mother and wanted to break up with you, what would you do?"
Can you?
Wen Zhi'an tugged at his sleeve and said, "Just ask, I want to know."
Lin Yan said seriously, "Since you're trying to seduce me and make me fall for you, it won't work whether your mother disagrees or you want to give up."
"There's no such thing as coming and going as you please."
"You're mine for life, not even for a day less."
Upon hearing his reply, Wen Zhi'an looked up with a bright smile.
"You're quite nice to talk to."
It was late at night.
Fiery red maple leaves fell from the maple tree in front of Wen Zhi'an's house, landing on Lin Yan's shoulder and on Wen Zhi'an's hair.
The moonlight is beautiful, and the breeze is gentle.
After Wen Xiuyong returned home, he poured a glass of water and handed it to Dong Qingci.
Dong Qingci said calmly, "I can understand why you kept it from me."
Wen Xiuyong was in a difficult situation.
He received a lot of complaints today because of this.
"Actually, Lin Yan is a very good person with a good personality, so I don't think there's any need to interfere."
Dong Qingci recalled what that person had said at the Han Jin Pavilion and fell silent for a moment.
Privileges should not supersede human rights, personal feelings should not supersede the law, and rules should not supersede justice.
She wasn't born with a silver spoon in her mouth; she had also experienced hardship. She could see what kind of life the lower classes were living and knew how important it was to have someone willing to think and act in that way.
She could understand her husband's conflicted feelings. He cared for Zhi'an no less than she did, yet he still hoped that the restless young man could stay with Zhi'an.
Why is that?
Dong Qingci was thinking.
Because of his restlessness, and the danger he carries, the true path is rugged and winding, where the bones of those who came before are buried, and which also illuminate the future of those who follow.
They've always been the narrow-minded ones.
But as her thoughts drifted to this point, Dong Qingci wearily closed her eyes, and that scene resurfaced in her mind.
"Qingci, Daddy is going to rescue a lot of uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters. He'll be away for a while. You have to listen to Mommy at home and be a good girl, okay?"
The little girl was very obedient and replied, "Then Daddy, you have to come back soon!"
"Dad will."
The man's back was as steadfast as a mountain.
But he never returned.
