ćť´âŚ..ćť´âŚ..
âBrother Tian, do you think our Archaeology Department is cursed?
How come the chief instructor is that Mu Yunlong?
Weâve been standing for almost 2 hours now.
I feel like Iâm about to evaporate,â Xiao Pang panted.
Ye Tian stood next to Xiao Pang, who was dripping with sweat, just like the other students.
In contrast, Ye Tianâs face showed no sign of fatigue.
He looked very relaxed, even admiring the distant scenery from where he stood.
Xiao Pang looked at him with envy.
âBrother Tian, do you have some kind of secret?
Teach me, I canât take it anymore.â
Xiao Pang stared straight ahead with a serious expression, but his lips moved slightly as he whispered to Ye Tian.
âXiao Pang, this level of endurance comes only with training.
Thereâs no quick fix here.â
Ye Tian turned his head and spoke directly to Xiao Pang, surprising the nearby students with his boldness, even though he kept his voice low.
Xiao Pang was so frightened by Ye Tianâs move that he almost fell over.
He immediately pretended not to know him.
Mu Yunlong naturally saw Ye Tian and immediately walked over with a stern, almost deadpan expression.
Hearing the sound of the instructorâs boots, Xiao Pang began praying to God for Ye Tian.
âYou, whatâs your name?
Do you not realize youâre supposed to be standing at attention?
Why are you moving and talking?
Step out.â
Mu Yunlong stared into Ye Tianâs eyes as he spoke.
Ye Tian, undaunted, looked back at Mu Yunlong and said, âMy name is Ye Tian.
Standing at attention is too easy, and Iâm really bored.â
Mu Yunlong looked into Ye Tianâs eyes, feeling a sense of oppression, as if a supreme emperor were staring at him.
Reluctantly, Mu Yunlong averted his gaze and said, âVery well, go run 50 laps around the field now.
Start!!!â
The track at Yunhai University was standard, approximately 400 meters per lap.
Running 50 laps amounted to 20,000 meters â anyone doing that would be either dead or disabled.
Everyone undergoing military training felt deeply sorry for Ye Tian, thinking this was a tragedy beyond measure.
âInstructor Mu, I was talking too.
Letâs split the 50 laps between us,â Xiao Pang stepped forward and suggested.
âNoâŚâ Just as Ye Tian was about to say it wasnât necessary, Mu Yunlong interrupted, âVery well, Iâm moved by your sincere friendship.
Each of you will do 10 laps.
No less.
Go.â
Although Mu Yunlong appeared stern, he was kind-hearted.
Seeing these friends supporting each other made him feel relieved.
Seeing Xiao Pangâs actions, Ye Tian finally saw some amusement in life.
He had spent many years on Divine Martial Mountain cultivating, rarely interacting with people.
At this moment, Ye Tian saw Lin Chumo preparing to step forward, her eyes full of worry and concern.
Ye Tian quickly gave her an âeverythingâs fineâ look and even pretended to glare fiercely.
Lin Chumo understood the look, which said, âI can handle this, stay put, or else.â
âHmph, pervert,â Lin Chumo feigned annoyance, but inside, she felt sweet.
On the track.
It was an unusual pair: a tall, handsome man supporting a chubby, cute-looking guy as they ran.
âBrother Tian, is this really okay?
I feel like Iâm just walking,â Xiao Pang panted.
âDonât worry, the instructors canât see us.
Since youâre running with me, how could I not help you?â Ye Tian said, amused.
Ye Tian channeled a bit of Creation Energy into Xiao Pang, making him feel as if he were just walking.
âBrother Tian, ever since you walked into the classroom, I knew you were extraordinary.
I hereby appoint you as Xiao Pangâs personal bodyguard, hahaha.â
Xiao Pang joked.
âGet lost.
Bodyguard?
More like a punching bag for you,â Ye Tian retorted, rolling his eyes.
âCome on, wait for me!â
Xiao Pang shook his chubby behind, chasing after Ye Tian.
âYe Tian, you must be tired.
Have some water.â
As Ye Tian returned to the group after finishing his run, the standing-at-attention drill was over, and it was now rest time.
Lin Chumo, seeing him return, handed him a water bottle and sat beside him, showing concern.
âThank you, Chumo.
Iâm done with it, you take it.â
Ye Tian looked at the pure-hearted girl before him, feeling even more fond of her.
âBrother Tian, donât you see Iâm single?
After running, youâre feeding me dog food by flirting with Chumo.
Itâs inhumane!â
Xiao Pang, seeing Ye Tian and Lin Chumo interact warmly, looked on with envy.
Lin Chumoâs ears turned red at Xiao Pangâs words.
She turned away and fidgeted with her clothes, avoiding more interaction with Ye Tian.
âXiao Pang, buzz off.
You scared my Chumo.
Here, take my water!â
Ye Tian handed Xiao Pang a water bottle and turned back to joking with Lin Chumo.
On the other side of the group, a few people stared fiercely at Ye Tian and Lin Chumo, who were laughing and talking.
âBoss, it looks like Lin Chumo is getting close to that guy named Ye Tian.
Should we teach him a lesson and show him not to overestimate himself?â
A skinny, sharp-faced guy spoke to the man they surrounded.
This man was Xu Hao, the infamous playboy of Yunhai City, eldest son of the Xu family.
The Xu family was a dominant force in Yunhai City, running black-market businesses and shady deals, carrying out numerous illicit activities.
âWhen we get to the canteen, weâll give him a warning.
If he doesnât know whatâs good for him, heâll suffer,â Xu Hao said jealously, looking at Ye Tian.
At that moment, an instructor approached the Archaeology Departmentâs group.
The once scattered and noisy crowd immediately quieted down and shouted, âGood day, Instructor!â
âGood day, students!â the instructor replied, then walked toward Mu Yunxi.
Mu Yunxi calmly watched the instructor approach, seemingly knowing he was there for her, and stood up to meet him.
âYouâre Mu Yunxi, right?
The chief instructor wants to see you at the camp.
Follow me.â
The instructor turned and walked away after speaking, unaffected by Mu Yunxiâs beauty.
Mu Yunxi followed and arrived at a tent.
âCommander Mu, Mu Yunxi is here,â the instructor reported, saluting.
âAlright, thank you, Xiao Zhang.
You can go now.
Mu Yunxi, come in.â
âUnderstood.â
Mu Yunxi lifted the tent flap and walked in, seeing Mu Yunlong examining a map.
âBig brother!!!â
Mu Yunxi called out.
Mu Yunlong turned around to see his sister, whom he hadnât seen in years, travel all the way from the Capital City to a small place like Yunhai.
âYunxi, I know everything about your situation.
Itâs all because of our uncle, who only thought about Changtianâs future and neglected you.â
âBeing here is not a long-term solution.
Your engagement with the Long Family is inevitable.â
âAs the eldest daughter of a great family, there are many things you canât control.
I, as your cousin, am useless and canât help you much.
Sigh.â
âBrother, donât talk like that.
I believe thereâs always a way.
My fate is in my own hands,â Mu Yunxi said firmly.
