At this time, Li Linguo and Zhang Tieshan also looked at the First Minister. Obviously, the final decision was also in his hands.
"Azure Dragon, give me an explanation. Why did you stop the Secretary of Military Security from arresting him?"
The First Minister had a kind face. When he spoke, it was like the spring wind and rain, but it also gave people a sense of dignity. This kind of temperament could only be seen on him in the entire Xia.
Azure Dragon first bowed to the several big shots of the Xia, and then said unhurriedly, "Greetings, Ministers. What I want to say is a big secret. Except for the few of you, I don't want anyone else to know this secret."
"Secretary Lin, you can leave first." Li Linguo directly ordered.
"Yes, Marshal."
The Secretary of Military Security looked embarrassed. He glared at Azure Dragon and turned to walk out of the meeting room.
"Well, there's no one else here. You can speak." Prime Minister Zhang said in a low voice and continued, "But I want to tell you that if you don't give us a satisfactory explanation, you will be punished for releasing Ye Xuan without permission."
Looking at the serious faces of the leaders, Azure Dragon smiled and said, "I wonder if the leaders still remember the hijacking incident some time ago?"
"Huh?"
As Azure Dragon's words fell, the faces of the leaders froze. Their eyes were filled with shock as they looked at Azure Dragon.
"What does the hijacking incident have to do with Ye Xuan? Don't …"
"Wait!"
Prime Minister Zhang angrily rebuked, but before he could finish, the First Minister interrupted him and walked quickly to Azure Dragon. A wisp of light appeared in his eyes as he said, "Do you mean that the person who saved the entire plane was Ye Xuan?"
"Old Minister is wise. That's indeed the case." Azure Dragon smiled and complimented him at the right time. Then, he fell silent.
"How … how is this possible?" Prime Minister Zhang exclaimed. He was completely confused.
"Azure Dragon, what evidence do you have?" Li Linguo suddenly burst out with the aura of a Xiantian warrior, which proved that he was not calm at the moment.
Although the Minister of War, Xia Tieshan, did not say anything, he stared at Azure Dragon, trying to see if he was lying.
Looking at the shocked expressions of the few people, Qing Long seemed to have expected this. He leisurely said, "Senior leaders, you are wise. Ye Xuan took this plane to the capital. Moreover, when the plane was hijacked, it was this person who killed the terrorists."
At this point, Azure Dragon paused for a moment and continued, "If we're talking about evidence, the flight attendants on the plane should be able to serve as witnesses. His identity information is on the register. During this period, I even spoke to him personally. Moreover, when the plane crashed, this Mr. Ye disappeared. However, he appeared in Capital City that day."
Hearing Azure Dragon's words, the leaders fell completely silent. They already believed him a little. If Azure Dragon was lying, he would definitely not be able to bear the responsibility.
"Azure Dragon, you've done well." The First Chief spoke first and patted Azure Dragon's shoulder approvingly.
"Azure Dragon, this matter is extremely confidential and must not be leaked. Arrange a time for us old men to meet with him." Li Linguo said excitedly.
"That's right. If he is that extraordinary person, we must have a talk with him." Prime Minister Zhang's tone changed. Clearly, Ye Xuan's weight in his heart was not something the eight major families could compare to.
"Haha, good, good."
"Azure Dragon, you've done well. I think the position of Secretary of Military Security should be changed." Xia Tieshan laughed loudly. The more he looked at Azure Dragon, the more satisfied he was.
"Alright, don't joke with me. If I, Azure Dragon, really take the position of Division Head of Group 8, I'm afraid the entire Martial Security Department will fall into chaos." Azure Dragon hurriedly refused.
Xia Tieshan was only joking. He also knew that the eight major team leaders were not convinced. The current position of Secretary was just an empty shell. If Azure Dragon really took the position, the other seven would definitely turn the sky upside down.
"Alright, enough chit-chat. Hurry up and arrange this matter. This is the most important thing." The First Chief directly issued an order.
"This subordinate obeys."
Azure Dragon finally breathed a sigh of relief and left with the order.
…
Capital City, a secret courtyard house.
Two ordinary cars cleared the road ahead. Several men in black alighted first and looked around vigilantly. After confirming that there was no danger, they picked up the walkie-talkie and said something.
Not long after, a black car drove from the end of the road and stopped in front of the courtyard. Four old men in trench coats quickly entered the courtyard under the protection of several men in black.
"Greetings, Chief." Azure Dragon gave a military salute.
"Azure Dragon, stop with the formalities. Where's Little Ye?" Xia Tieshan scolded jokingly.
"Ye Xuan greets the chiefs. I'm ashamed to have the chiefs come in person."
Unknowingly, Ye Xuan appeared in front of the four chiefs out of thin air. This caused the four of them to be stunned. They were slightly surprised by the strange way Ye Xuan appeared.
However, the four leaders were all people who had experienced great storms, so they naturally didn't show any signs of shock. Li Linguo, on the other hand, had a smile on his face as he strode forward and patted Ye Xuan's shoulder. He laughed loudly and said, "Good kid, you really are from China. Do you know how long this old man has been looking for you?"
Ye Xuan could completely feel Li Linguo's warm attitude towards him. Although Ye Xuan was an immortal cultivator, he was still a citizen of Xia. Furthermore, this land gave birth to him. He deeply knew that the elders in front of him had worked hard for Xia for decades. They could be called great people of this generation.
Ye Xuan did not lack the respect that he deserved. This had nothing to do with his identity as an immortal cultivator, but rather the selfless contributions of the older generation that allowed for the current prosperity of Xia. This kind of respect was also an emotion that burst out from the bottom of Ye Xuan's heart.
"You old fellow, I know what you're planning. Don't even think about pulling Little Ye into your military."
Xia Tieshan laughed and scolded. He directly walked in front of Ye Xuan and smiled kindly, "Little Ye, if there's anything in the future, just tell your Uncle Xia. If that old thing Ye Canghai dares to cause trouble for you, just tell me and see how this old man will deal with him."
"Alright, we came here in secret today to talk to Little Ye about serious matters. Don't mess around anymore." The first chief smiled and made Ye Xuan cup his hands in greeting.
At this moment, the Azure Dragon left the place, leaving only the four chiefs and Ye Xuan in the courtyard. As the leader of the Earth Group, the Azure Dragon knew very well that there were some secrets that he could not listen to.
On a stone platform and five stone stools, the highest ranking figures of China and Ye Xuan sat together.
"Lil 'Ye, we already know about your matter. I thank you on behalf of the people of China for the hijacking." The first chief said sincerely.
"But, can you tell us, old men, what kind of existence are you?" The No. 1 Chief went straight to the point and asked the biggest question in the minds of the people present.
Looking at the eager gazes of the elders, Ye Xuan hesitated for a moment, not knowing if he should reveal his identity. During this time, the entire courtyard was extremely silent.
Ten minutes later.
The hesitation in Ye Xuan's eyes disappeared, and his low voice also fell into the ears of the elders.
"I am an immortal cultivator."
