Tian Hongwei ran over.
Back when Gong Lingās arrow caught everyoneās attention, many Wuda Students noticed her.
Sheās not just strong.
Crucially, sheās also very attractive.
"Hello, Gong Ling. Iām Du Jingās Book, a good buddy from the dorm next to Brother Suās. Iām also single. Once the mission is over, you can come visit West Martial, and Iāll show you around.
"The salt-boiled duck in West City is especially famous. Girls who eat it can improve their skinās brightness and promote metabolism. Itās a beauty treasure.
"Sometimes, we can go and eat together. We can invite Brother Su as well."
Du Jingās Book greeted Gong Ling politely.
Su Yue looked askance.
Where did Du Jingās Book learn this scoundrel routine? Itās quite terrifying.
Salt-boiled duck is heavy in oil and salt. Apart from tasting good, it can cause high blood pressure, osteoporosis, calcium loss, obesity, and freckles... Since when did it improve skin brightness?
He could speak nonsense like that.
Not being constipated would be good enough, let alone improving metabolism.
Is this flowery speech really the secret to being single no more?
"Iām Liao Ping. You probably know me. My little brother has been pursuing you all along, hehe."
Liao Ping was a little shy.
But looking at the three wolves beside him, he couldnāt hide his alertness.
His brother seems to have quite a few romantic rivals.
"Nice to meet you all."
Gong Ling blushed deeply.
"Alright, everyone, stop making a fuss. Boys and girls ought to keep a proper distance from each other. Give Gong Ling some space."
Wang Lu Fengās every breath was filled with jealousy.
Damn.
There seems to be quite a few competitors.
Creaaaaak.
Just then, the conference room door opened.
Three generals walked in single file.
The atmosphere instantly froze, and everyone stood up with solemn expressions.
"Everyone, please sit down. Letās have a chat."
Liu Yizhou waved his hand.
Mu Jingliang was the last to walk in, closing the door casually.
"Hello, everyone, I am General Liu Yizhou of the Wei Yuan Corps. This is Mu Jingliang of the Miracle Corps, and this is General Lin Dongqi of the Zhao Qi Corps."
As they sat down, Liu Yizhou introduced himself.
"Good day, Generals."
Wang Lu Feng and the group stood up again, full of reverence.
How could they not be reverent?
Three generals, all Ninth Grade Grandmasters, are the pillars of Divine Land, legendary figures from textbooks.
To interact closely with these generals, it would be a once-in-a-lifetime experience, worthy of boasting about for half a year back at school.
"So, this is the general of the Zhao Qi Corps."
Su Yue glanced at Lin Dongqi.
Indeed, thereās no such thing as a mediocre general; he already looked impressive.
As for Mu Jingliang and Liu Yizhou, one was his future father-in-law, the other his godfatherāfamiliar acquaintances.
"No need to say much. Your excellent performances in the inter-school battles are well acknowledged. Thatās why we selected you.
"As for this mission, even the Wei Yuan Corps doesnāt have much clarity yet. You might need to gather intelligence in Jiangwu, perhaps you need to eliminate someone. Or it might turn out that you spend a month safely in Jiangwu and then come back without ever facing the mission.
"Everything is unknown. What you need to do is to absolutely follow orders."
Liu Yizhou said.
"Understood!"
Su Yue and the others replied in unison.
"Old Liu, I think we should explain the situation to the students a bit."
Mu Jingliang suddenly said.
Although the six of them didnāt dare to ask questions, they were clearly puzzled.
"Alright."
Liu Yizhou nodded.
"Hereās how the situation went.
"The Wei Yuan Corpsā Blue Eagle Combat Camp stationed in Jiangyuan Country was ambushed by thugs.
"One Fifth-Grade Commander, three Fourth-Grade Deputy Commanders, seven Third-Grade Captains, seventy-one Second-Grade Martial Artistsāall completely wiped out.
"Based on the Wei Yuan Corpsā investigation, the killers might have traces in Jiangwu.
"But due to the International United Councilās restrictions, the Wei Yuan Corps canāt interfere with the Jiangyuan Cabinet, so if necessary, your assistance might be needed.
"But donāt worry, if thereās any risk to your lives, I wonāt let you take risks."
Liu Yizhou said.
"Ambushed abroad? Thatās outrageous! The killers must be torn limb from limb."
Wang Lu Feng said, incensed.
The Wei Yuan Corps taking risks abroad was already a huge risk. Now to be ambushed, how outrageous!
"Wang Lu Feng, shut up and let the general speak."
Su Yue quietly reminded him.
Upon hearing this, Wang Lu Feng realized his loss of composure and quickly shut up.
The others truly didnāt say a word.
No other choice; the Grandmasterās presence was overwhelming.
Wang Lu Fengās master was also a Grandmaster, so he had grown accustomed to the aura and wasnāt affected.
"For this mission, your official identityāwith written notification to Jiangyuan Countryāis that of an exchange study group from Shen Zhou Martial Arts University.
"Iāve already communicated with Jiangyuanās authorities. You might get the chance to experience Jiangyuanās spirit pool, a rare opportunity that might boost your Qi Blood. Historically, Jiangyuanās spirit pool has never been open to foreigners. Itās because of the Blue Eagle Combat Camp incident that Jiangyuanās authorities feel guilty.
"If the mission is unnecessary for you, treat it as a real exchange opportunity, and seize this chance to grow stronger."
Liu Yizhou continued.
"Understood."
Everyone nodded.
The spirit pool in Jiangyuan Country seems to be the sacred land of their royal family, possibly tied to their breakthroughs.
But everyone had limited understanding of it.
"As for the danger of going to Jiangyuan Country, Iāll try to minimize it.
"But Jiangyuan is a small country, different from home, where the Wet Ghost Tower could break at any time, so you might very well meet your end abroad.
