Chapter 580 Challenge Letter from the Star Gate

After watching the adorable little foodie eat for a while, everyone went back to eating their own food.

After Su Yi toasted Cao Erdan with a glass of wine, he said:

"Erdan, I have already passed on the decision of the National Defense Committee and written the letter of appointment to Liao Kai. From today onwards, you are the Chief Inspector of our Imperial Gate's special envoys, and you are awarded the rank of Major General. You and Liao Kai will be my right and left hands, and jointly manage the Imperial Gate!"

As he spoke, he pushed a document in front of Cao Erdan.

Previously, Cao Erdan's identification document listed his position as "Special Envoy of Binhai City," but now it's different; it lists him as "Chief Inspector of the Imperial Headquarters"!

His position was also upgraded from three stars to five stars.

You should know that there are only two people in the royal family who are worthy of five stars.

That was Su Yi and Liao Kai, and now Cao Erdan has been added to the list!

Cao Erdan was taken aback when he saw this:

"I know Brother Liao is the deputy sect leader, so what kind of position is this director?"

"It's an official position that oversees all personnel in the Imperial Gate. Apart from me, you're the highest-ranking!"

Cao Erdan couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this:

"Old sir, what have I done to deserve this? To surpass others and be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with governors like Ding Zhan, Shang Junqi, and Zuo Zhaoshan is already enough for me..."

Su Yi waved his hand: "Erdan, don't be so polite. What you did, they couldn't do at all. Consider it helping me!"

Cao Erdan looked at Old Master Su Yi with a firm gaze, knowing that he was definitely not using his government position to thank him out of gratitude.

The old man, who can serve as a shield to protect the country and a blade to slay the enemy, would never act on emotion.

So he nodded and said, "Alright then, but I'm not good at managing miscellaneous tasks. Even the food factory and hospital in my hometown are managed by my friends!"

Su Yi laughed and said, "There's no need for you to manage it. Liao Kai can handle the trivial matters!"

When Su Yi was about to die, he wanted to pass on his mantle to Cao Erdan, a passionate young man.

But now that Cao Erdan has extended his life, he can still hold on to some thoughts.

Then he would cultivate Cao Erdan, this rising star, step by step, so that he could become his successor in the future.

Cao Erdan is still young and doesn't have much desire for power.

It was precisely because of this that Su Yi felt he was a promising talent, and that he gradually helped Su Yi establish Su Yi's worldview and sense of responsibility.

As he spoke, he took a letter out of his pocket.

He asked Cao Erdan, "When you went to Juxian Mountain this time, did you kill two guardians of the Star Gate?"

"Not only that, I've also killed their elders before, but they were the ones who brought it upon themselves!"

Su Yi nodded: "I know that. The Star Gate has always been a wicked organization, recruiting soldiers under the guise of a sect, but their intentions are sinister. I've wanted to deal with them for a long time, but this time they came to me on their own!"

Cao Erdan asked, "What do you mean? They dare to cause trouble at the General's Mansion?"

Su Yi handed the letter to Cao Erdan:

"Indeed, the challenge has even been sent to the General's Mansion. It seems that this Yuwen Changqing is taking advantage of my old age, or thinks he's all that great now! He actually dares to ask my General's Mansion for people!"

Cao Erdan took it and looked at it.

The letter contained only a few words, but its tone was aggressive.

They said that the Imperial Clan condoned its subordinates' indiscriminate killing of innocent people, and demanded that Su Yi personally attend a banquet at the Xingmen Liaobei Nalan City headquarters in half a month to explain the situation.

On the surface it looks like an invitation, but it's actually a challenge!

Cao Erdan angrily retorted, "His blatant provocation is outrageous! General, why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut? I'll go this time!"

Before meeting Su Yi, Cao Erdan had no desire to be a pawn for the imperial family and be used as a tool.

But now Su Yi treats him as a friend, and Cao Erdan is also deeply moved by the old general's dedication to the country.

As descendants of Yan and Huang, as children of China, if we have the ability but do not serve our country, wouldn't we be wasting our talents?

Many people now harbor resentment because of the inequality between the rich and the poor.

This is all short-sighted.

If everyone only thinks of themselves and abandons their responsibility to protect the country because of some corrupt officials, then the country will cease to exist and become slaves of a conquered nation. It will be too late to regret then.

If our ancestors had only thought of themselves, how could we have achieved today's glory!

If there are parasites, kill them; if there are wolves, slay them. A man should stand tall and take responsibility throughout his life.

This was also influenced by the old general, the God of War, which is why Cao Erdan's perspective has broadened considerably.

However, that doesn't mean he has no selfish motives at all.

He said, "Grandpa, I'm going to fight on behalf of the Royal Gate, but if the Star Gate has any valuable resources, could I pick some first?"

It almost made Su Yi laugh.

Although Cao Erdan has developed a heroic spirit, he still can't shake off his childishness.

With a smile, he stroked his beard and nodded, saying, "Erdan, you've gone to great lengths and risked your life for me, how could I let you leave empty-handed? All the wealth of Xingmen is yours to manage!"

The old man is so generous!

Cao Erdan offered a toast to express his gratitude.

However, Su Yi warned, "This Yuwen Changqing is not like his elders and protectors. I heard that he has been practicing a kind of evil technique called Yin Liu Gong for many years. It is extremely powerful. You must be extra careful!"

Su Yi added, "There's still some time before the agreed-upon date. You can intensify your cultivation and refine elixirs to aid you. If you're willing to stay in the General's Mansion, I'll help you resolve all your worries!"

Xiaoying's eyes lit up as she said this.

She desperately wanted Cao Erdan to stay by her side forever.

The two and a half hours this morning felt wonderful!

Unfortunately, Cao Erdan politely declined Su Yi's offer.

"General, I have been away for a long time and I am worried about home. I will go home first and then go directly to Liaobei City."

Su Yi didn't insist, and reached out to hold Cao Erdan's hand:

"Erdan, remember, you are my blade, and I am your support. If there's anything you can't handle, come to me!"

Su Yi never said such a thing to anyone in his life.

Even Liao Kai demanded a clear division of responsibilities within the company.

But he gave Cao Erdan the green light.

Because he knew that Cao Erdan would one day bear the fate of the entire nation!

Cao Erdan also knew the weight of those words.

Su Yi was a figure second only to the emperor in the entire country.

He told himself this, which proved that he would have no obstacles in China, no matter which way he went!

At the same time, one must also pay the price.

Moreover, one needs the ability to bear this cost.

If it were someone else, even if they were willing to sacrifice their lives, they wouldn't have caught the eye of General Su Yi.

After having enough wine and food.

Su Yi didn't keep Cao Erdan around for long.

He told Liao Kai to drive Cao Erdan to the station himself.

Cao Erdan also declined Liao Kai's offer to take him, saying that he could take the subway with You Xiang'er.

This is a good opportunity for Youxiang'er to see the outside world and broaden her horizons!

Youxiang'er happily held Cao Erdan's hand.

Once on the subway, the girl was overjoyed.

His ignorant attitude made everyone around him laugh.

Seeing how cute she was, several little girls took photos with her.

Some even touched her corner and asked her where she bought the prop.

Cao Erdan quickly pulled her to the next carriage, afraid that she might pull out her tail and show it off to everyone if she got excited.

When the subway arrived at the first station, two burly men got on, reeking of alcohol.

Once he came up, he started bragging as if no one else was around.

Judging from their conversation, they are instructors from some martial arts school, and they just went to a gathering of their peers.

They shout and yell, seven are dissatisfied, eight are resentful, and one hundred and twenty don't care.

After boasting for a while, the burly man's hand intentionally or unintentionally reached out and touched You Xiang'er's body.

Cao Erdan could tell from his face that he was a lecherous man.

Youxiang'er looks like a child, yet he still dared to grope her, which made Cao Erdan very angry.

However, they did not stop it.

Young Xiang'er needs to experience some social events to grow up.
