Facing the future head of the Star-Eye Clan, whom he had previously rejected, Ye Zhongming showed no signs of embarrassment or awkwardness. Instead, he stared intently at her face.
The two heads of the Star-Eye Clan had clearly stated that this face was fake, and he had to see where the fake part was. How had he not noticed this before?
Confronted with such a Ye Zhongming, Aslan wasn't shy or anything else either; she straightforwardly said, "I want to join the Assault Camp."
Ye Zhongming directly shook his head.
Are you kidding me!
This was the future clan leader; how could he place her under his command? What would happen if he took her under his wing and then she became angry and distanced herself later?
Ye Zhongming wasn't afraid of this, but many of his affairs needed the full support of the Star-Eye Clan, and he didn’t want to cause any unexpected troubles in the future because of this.
Moreover, he had received the inheritance from the 101st Commander Qing Tong and didn't want the clan to know about it just yet; now wasn't the right time. Otherwise, there would also be unforeseen troubles that could unpredictably affect his status in the Star-Eye Clan.
"Why!?" Aslan was very unwilling.
Although Ye Zhongming had done some things that made her very displeased, such as rejecting her, not coming to take over the Bronze Camp for many days, and even coming here to kill people, she had also seen the changes he brought to the Bronze Camp.
Especially with the establishment of the Assault Camp, Aslan was even more supportive of it.
She believed that there should be such a team to stir the 'stagnant water' of the Star-Eye Clan. Only then could it motivate other battle teams to strive harder.
It wasn’t that she thought the previous three major battle teams were bad; rather, it was... they lacked a certain momentum that Ye Zhongming possessed.
"No reason!" Ye Zhongming said irritably, and then walked forward. Upon noticing that Aslan was stubbornly following him, he could only turn around and say, "Miss, are you not aware of your identity? Putting you in a garbage training camp is called training; placing you in the Assault Camp is called taking risks. Even if you don't know what specific tasks the Assault Camp will undertake in the future, have the two clan leaders not hinted at all? Those tasks have an extremely high mortality rate. Do you want the Star-Eye Clan to be without a clan leader in the future? Do you want all the years of training from the clan for you to be wasted?"
"If you don't experience hardships, how will you sit in that position?" Aslan retorted, not giving in at all.
"Then you need to be alive to sit in it!" Ye Zhongming's tone was very firm. "I'll say it one last time: in the future, Commander Cheng Liujin, Pao Bai, and others from the Star-Eye Clan will help you. What you need to do is to quickly strengthen yourself and become someone who possesses a high level of mystery and deterrence towards other races, just like the two clan leaders do now, rather than dancing on the edge of a knife. One misstep and you could die, leaving the Star-Eye Clan without successors!"
After saying this, Ye Zhongming ignored Aslan and continued walking.

Jikesu looked at Ye Zhongming, who had entered, and smiled, inviting him to sit down.
‘I thought you had forgotten about me.’
As the chief technology officer of the Star-Eye Clan, Jikesu always felt it was a pity for Ye Zhongming to follow the path of a warrior.
With such excellent craftsmanship talent, if he pursued the technical route, he could definitely become a master of the generation.
"How could that be? I'm here to seek your guidance," Ye Zhongming replied as he took out something and placed it beside him. Jikesu glanced at it and exclaimed, "Zhonglu Furnace? This is a good thing."
The old man was very pleased, circling around the machine specifically used for manufacturing research several times.
This Zhonglu Furnace was not something Ye Zhongming had exchanged for points but was something he purchased separately with Moon Age Gold, a very expensive refining equipment that could be used in various applications, including manufacturing research.
