Chapter 660

But her happiness quickly vanished from her eyes, gone in a flash.

It wasn't that she was unhappy; she simply had a habitual habit of hiding her emotional fluctuations.

"Not bad, not bad, you've worked very hard!"

"It's still all thanks to the Major's training!"

Liu Mengyun was very clear about the reasons she had achieved such success.

She didn't know what Su Yang had done to her Phantom Shadow Cat again.

But she was a smart person.

She knew what to ask and what not to ask.

"Go get some proper rest!" Su Yang said. "Our squad's people have returned, most of them have gone on long leave, nothing much going on."

Three days later, Liu Mengyun's body had recovered considerably.

Yao Xing's adjutant found Su Yang and said Yao Xing wanted to see him.

"Captain Yao, is there a result on the matter?"

"The General Headquarters has pretty much reached a conclusion!" Yao Xing nodded. "This time you have to thank Vice Captain Ma. The General Headquarters will impose some punishment on you, but it's not a big problem. It seems the Western Army Department and the Treasure Pavilion also put in some effort for you."

"That's great then!"

"Maybe not that great. I seem to have caught wind of something from the General Headquarters—a big shot really admires you!"

"A big shot?"

Someone Yao Xing would call a big shot—there probably aren't many, right?

"Yes, you may have heard his name—General Mo Yunjian!"

"That strongest expert of Huaxia from twenty years ago, who killed several Emperor-class fierce beasts, and later retired? I seem to have heard he had already passed away…"

"He didn't pass away!" Yao Xing emphasized. "He wasn't just the number one person in Huaxia twenty years ago—he still is now!"

"What do you mean?"

"Twenty years ago, General Mo's lifespan was nearly exhausted, so he went north. He only came back two years ago!" Yao Xing lowered his voice. "I heard when he returned, he looked younger, but he had suffered heavy injuries. The General Headquarters spent a lot of resources to save General Mo back."

"You mean…"

Su Yang pointed upward.

"Mm!" Yao Xing said softly. "General Mo most likely broke through. Otherwise, given the General Headquarters' practical and stingy nature, they wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to save a dying man."

Su Yang asked in confusion, "Why would being valued by a big shot not be a good thing?"

"You think being valued by a big shot means promotion and wealth?"

"Isn't it?"

"It couldn't be that they want to temper me, could it?"

"Not bad, kid, you've got some awareness!" Yao Xing patted Su Yang's shoulder. "You caught on right away!"

"Uh!"

"Pack up, we're heading down and setting off, to Shengjing. This matter should be wrapped up!"

"Mm!"

Su Yang asked the Seven-Colored Illusion Butterfly attached to his body.

Captain Yao really hadn't lied to him.

It wasn't that Su Yang was overly suspicious.

He was just being prepared, wasn't he?

In the afternoon, Su Yang took Liu Mengyun and boarded Yao Xing's flying-type pet beast.

Half a month later, when they arrived at the west gate of Shengjing, Su Yang could still see the traces left behind by that battle.

Xicheng was still bustling with people, as if the battle two months ago had never happened at all.

Su Yang and Liu Mengyun dismounted from Yao Xing's flying-type pet beast. They had just walked to the west gate when the soldiers on duty at the west gate of Shengjing all focused their attention on him and Liu Mengyun.

Several beast tamers waiting for inspection saw Su Yang and immediately avoided him from a distance, not even entering the city.

"That bandaged guy, couldn't he be Su Yang, could he?"

"It's definitely him. Look at that white-haired woman behind him!"

"There shouldn't be another fight this time, right?"

"Probably not!"

"…"

Su Yang and Liu Mengyun's features were too obvious.

One wrapped in bandages all over, the other cold as ice, with a head of long white hair.

It would be hard not to draw attention.

Yao Xing teased, "Your fame seems pretty big, even bigger than mine!"

"It's all empty fame!"

Just as they reached the west gate, the soldiers on duty saluted Yao Xing.

Su Yang noticed the Major in charge of guarding the gate had already been replaced.

It seemed there had been some changes in the Shengjing City Guard.

Yao Xing took out his credentials and handed them over: "We're entering the city!"

Su Yang and Liu Mengyun silently took out their credentials as well.

That Major glanced at Su Yang, swallowed, hastily looked over the three credentials, and let them into the city.

"Let's go to our Southwest Army Department office first. Vice Captain Ma is waiting there!" Yao Xing smiled. "Your face is pretty big this time—both of our Southwest Army Department Emergency Squad Captains are running around for you!"

The eight army departments all have an office set up in Shengjing.

They were all in the same building, located in the central district of Jingcheng.

As soon as they stepped into the office, many soldiers fixed their gazes on Su Yang.

They stared at Su Yang curiously, as if they had all guessed his identity.

Up on the second floor of the office, Yao Xing found Ma Wenhong sitting in the second-floor lobby, chatting with another colonel!

Ma Wenhong saw Yao Xing and Su Yang, and waved at them.

"Major Yao, over here!" Ma Wenhong said with a smile. "Su Yang, I was just talking about you with Colonel Liu, and here you are."

"Major Yao, Su Yang, this is Colonel Liu Yun of the Southeast Military Command—my new friend, who just happened to be at the General Command for some business!"
