East Rising.
Arui.
Old Hunter.
They stood on the periphery of the crowd, not pushing forward, but simply watching him from a distance.
Arui waved to him with a smile, but there was a hint of forcedness in the smile.
The old hunter lit another cigarette, his expression obscured by the swirling smoke.
Dong Sheng stood with his hands in his pockets, expressionless, but there was a hint of complexity in his eyes.
Looking at them, Ye Feng suddenly felt a surge of warmth in his heart.
He said to the people around him, "Sorry, I have something to do," then pushed through the crowd and strode toward Dong Sheng and the other two.
"Captain," he said, walking up to Dong Sheng with a smile, "I'm back."
Dong Sheng paused for a moment, then the corners of his mouth slowly turned up.
"It's good that you're back."
"Let's go." Ye Feng put his arm around Dong Sheng's shoulder. "I'm happy today, so it's on me. Let's find a place and have a good drink."
Ari's eyes lit up immediately: "Really?"
"Of course it's true."
"Then I want to eat a whole roasted lamb!"
"OK."
"And we'll drink the finest wine!"
"OK."
"I want more..."
"That's enough." Old Hunter slapped Arui on the back of the head, then looked at Ye Feng, exhaled a puff of smoke, and said, "Don't spoil this kid."
Ye Feng smiled.
"It's fine, eat and drink whatever you want today, it's on me."
The four of them chatted and laughed as they walked toward the city.
The onlookers were stunned by what they saw.
The great hero who saved Jiangcheng was actually arm in arm with three Night Watchmen?
Someone recognized Dong Sheng.
"Isn't that the captain of the Dong Sheng squad?"
"The Dong Sheng Squad? Never heard of them."
"They are the top three squads of the Night Watch Vanguard."
How did they know Ye Feng?
"I heard that Ye Feng is a newly recruited member of the Dong Sheng Squad."
"The Dong Sheng Squad is the most promising team to become the third Po Jun Squad!"
"With Ye Feng on board, we've essentially become the third Po Jun Squad!"
"What? This is so melodramatic..."
"This luck is simply unbelievable..."
……
The celebration banquet was held at a restaurant called "Old Place".
It's called a restaurant, but it's really just a street food stall.
The Dongsheng team usually dine here. The owner is a retired soldier in his fifties. He has good cooking skills and the prices are reasonable.
Ye Feng originally wanted to find a high-end place, but Dong Sheng insisted on coming here.
"I don't feel comfortable eating at upscale places," Dongsheng said. "It's much more comfortable here."
So the four of them sat on outdoor plastic stools, with a folding table in front of them piled high with kebabs, peanuts, and beer.
Arui got to eat a whole roasted lamb as he wished. The whole lamb was roasted until it was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with the fat dripping onto the charcoal and sizzling, filling the air with a wonderful aroma.
The old hunter continued smoking one cigarette after another, but the curve of his lips betrayed his mood.
Dong Sheng had drunk quite a bit of wine; his face was flushed, and he became more talkative.
"Ye Feng," he raised his glass, "I'd like to toast you."
Ye Feng also raised his glass: "Captain, I should be toasting you."
"Don't call me captain anymore." Dong Sheng shook his head. "Your current strength is higher than mine. Just call me Dong Sheng from now on."
"That won't do," Ye Feng said seriously. "You'll always be my captain."
Dong Sheng looked at him with great relief, and his eyes suddenly welled up with tears.
He tilted his head back and drank the wine in one gulp, then slammed the glass down on the table.
"Ye Feng, tell me the truth," his voice was low, "Are you leaving?"
Arui stopped gnawing on the lamb leg.
The old hunter paused slightly as he held the cigarette between his fingers.
All three of them were looking at Ye Feng.
Ye Feng remained silent for a few seconds, then put down his wine glass.
"Yes."
In short, it was decisive and efficient.
Dong Sheng's expression didn't change much, as if he had expected this answer.
Arui's lips twitched as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing.
The old hunter took a deep drag of his cigarette and then slowly exhaled.
"I know." Dong Sheng smiled, but his smile was somewhat bitter. "Someone with your strength can't stay in a small team like ours forever."
"The Night Watch will definitely have new arrangements, either joining the Po Jun team or leading a separate squad."
Ye Feng shook his head: "It wasn't arranged by the Night Watch."
"Old Zhang suggested that I form my own Breaking Army Squad!"
"But I refused!"
Dong Sheng was taken aback.
"I have my own plans," Ye Feng said calmly.
"I need to become stronger, much stronger. I can't do this by staying with the Rising Sun Squad or the Night Watch Vanguard."
"Besides, my personality isn't suited to leading a small team!"
He looked at the three of them with sincere eyes.
"But that doesn't mean I'm cutting ties with you. No matter where I go or what I become in the future, you will always be my teammates."
Although the group hadn't spent much time together, and hadn't even gone on a mission together.
But Ye Feng's words still deeply moved the three of them.
Arui's eyes reddened.
The old hunter turned his head away and took a deep drag on his cigarette.
Dong Sheng remained silent for a long time, then smiled.
This time, her smile seemed much more relaxed than before.
"Okay." He extended his hand. "Then it's settled. No matter where you go or what you do, the Dong Sheng Squad will always be your home."
Ye Feng grasped his hand and squeezed it tightly.
It's a deal.
It's a deal.
The four men raised their glasses again and clinked them together.
Beer spilled, splashing on the table, hands, and clothes, but nobody cared.
They drank until dawn that night.
Arui was completely drunk and was lying on the table talking nonsense.
The old hunter, unusually drunk, leaned back in his chair, a stubbed-out cigarette dangling from his mouth, snoring loudly.
Dong Sheng was still relatively sober. He helped the two drunkards up and waved to Ye Feng, saying, "You go first, I'll take them home."
Ye Feng nodded, stood up, took two steps, and then turned back.
"team leader."
"Um?"
"If you need any help in the future, just let me know."
Dong Sheng laughed: "Don't worry, I won't stand on ceremony with you."
Ye Feng smiled, then turned and disappeared into the night.
Dong Sheng watched his departing figure for a long time.
Who would have thought that there was only one newcomer?
He survived a beast tide and became a great hero of Jiangcheng.
And then it soared into the sky!
Ok!
Fortunately, I had good judgment back then and recognized Ye Feng's talent at first glance.
Upon returning to Jiangcheng, they checked Ye Feng's information again and then specially recruited him into the Night Watch Vanguard Camp.
If this person is forgotten, it will be a great loss to the human race.
If the powerful families discover and recruit them beforehand, the situation for the Jiangcheng Night Watchmen and the military will become even more difficult.
Thank goodness! Thank goodness!
He was on the side of the Night's Watch and the military.
Then he looked down at Ari and the old hunter, who were snoring on the table, and sighed.
"You two good-for-nothings, I'll have to take you back."
