"oh?"

Lu Fan was a little surprised and asked: "What does the commander want from me?"

"I don't know."

Yang Cheng scratched his head and urged: "Stop asking so many questions and go quickly."

"OK."

Lu Fan stopped staying and walked quickly towards Li Yongtai's residence.

Although he has never been here, he knows it.

Directly opposite the dormitory where they were located was a separate small courtyard.

Lu Fan entered the small courtyard, came to the main door, stopped, and knocked on the door.

"Dong dong dong!"

The knock on the door seemed particularly abrupt in the silence.

"Come in."

Li Yongtai's majestic voice sounded.

"yes."

Lu Fan pushed the door open and entered a living room, where Li Yongtai was sitting drinking tea.

"Commander, are you looking for me?"

"Sit down."

Li Yongtai pointed to the seat next to him.

"yes."

Lu Fan sat down.

"How is it? Your training is going well, right?"

Although Li Yongtai looked serious, his tone was quite gentle, "I heard that this is your first time practicing. Have you encountered any problems?"

"good."

Lu Fan nodded slightly, "I haven't encountered any problems yet."

"It seems that your understanding is pretty good."

Li Yongtai stretched out his hand to Lu Fan and said, "Come on, give me your hand."

"oh."

Lu Fan couldn't refuse, so he extended his hand as he was told.

Li Yongtai's fingers gently touched Lu Fan's wrist. After a moment, a trace of surprise appeared in his eyes, "You actually got into the grade? So fast?"

"Well, it just came out not long ago."

Lu Fan knew he couldn't hide it, so he could only admit it.

"It's only been a dozen days since you started practicing the technique, right?"

Li Yongtai calculated the time and was even more surprised, "Not only do you have a good understanding, but you have also advanced very quickly in cultivation. Such a fast speed is much faster than me back then."

"Perhaps it's because I started practicing late in life and am older, so I relied on my physical strength to reach the level?"

Lu Fan talked casually.

“The sooner you practice Qigong, the better.”

Li Yongtai was amused and said with a smile: "Old age is not an advantage, nor is physical strength and spiritual power in the body the same thing."

"If you want to enter the realm, you must fully accumulate the spiritual energy in your Dantian."

"This takes time to accumulate."

"The reason why you entered the country quickly is firstly because of your talent, and secondly because of your diligence and self-discipline."

"I heard that apart from eating and sleeping, you spend the rest of your time practicing."

"I'm much more diligent than I was back then."

Li Yongtai looked at Lu Fan with admiring eyes, "Keep it up, and you will definitely achieve great things in the future."

"yes!"

Lu Fan shouted yes.

"besides."

Li Yongtai said: "The selection of Dragon Shadow Guard this time is mainly based on potential and strength. There are almost no requirements for character and loyalty."

"This is also a hidden danger."

"So, I will observe you carefully, select people with good character among you, and focus on cultivating them."

"You are the first person I choose."

Speaking of this, Li Yongtai patted Lu Fan's shoulder lightly and said, "Do a good job and I won't treat you badly."

"Thank you for your cultivation, Commander!"

Lu Fan quickly stood up and thanked him.

"Sit down quickly."

Li Yongtai smiled and poured a cup of tea for Lu Fan himself, "Here, drink tea."

"yes."

Lu Fan took the tea cup and asked with some confusion: "Commander, I haven't had much contact with you, how can you judge that I have a good character?"

Li Yongtai smiled and said: "It is precisely because we have not had much contact that I can conclude that you have a good character."

"Um?"

Lu Fan was stunned and didn't quite understand.

"Except for you, almost everyone else has come to see me."

Li Yongtai sighed softly and said: "Even people who have been practicing for many years will still come and ask me questions, but you don't."

"Do you think they really came to ask me questions?"

"Actually, they just took the opportunity to have a good relationship with me."

"Of course, this kind of behavior cannot be wrong."

"Even I hope they do."

"However, this behavior itself has a utilitarian meaning."

"Unlike you, not only do you not please me, you can't even see me."

After a pause, Li Yongtai continued: "If you don't flatter your superiors, you will not bully your inferiors."

"And you are undoubtedly that kind of person."

"Although being strong is easy to break, and being too upright can easily offend others, don't worry, as long as I'm here, you don't have to be afraid of offending others."

"Long Shadow Guard needs people like you!"

"The Zhennan Army needs people like you more!"

"Even the Great Zhou Dynasty lacks people like you."

"Of course, this is only one reason."

"Another very important point is that I have asked many people who know you, and they all praise you for your good character."

"Besides, I usually keep a close eye on you."

"Anyway, you are the first person I choose."

Li Yongtai picked up the tea cup, took a sip of tea, and then said: "Please help me keep an eye on it. If anyone among the Long Shadow Guards behaves abnormally or does something out of the ordinary, report it to me in time."

"yes!"

Lu Fan agreed loudly.

He just agreed and didn't take it seriously.

Although what Li Yongtai said sounds nice, the truth or falsehood is unknown.

Maybe, Li Yongtai will tell everyone the same thing.

"Also, you can recommend people with good character to me."

Li Yongtai said: "After my observation, I feel that if there is no problem, I will reuse him."

"yes."

Lu Fan responded loudly: "Please rest assured, Commander, I will definitely live up to your expectations."
