Protagonist:

Yan Qianqian

Qianqian waved her hand and said, "Alright, I understand. If you have nothing to do during the day, go inquire about Wangchen's news. Tell me immediately if there's any news."

Shi Er acknowledged and then turned to leave.

Seeing Shi Er walk far away, Qianqian immediately employed lightness skill, returning to the camp as lightly as a flying swallow. Her figure flashed, like a ghost, silently slipping into her own tent and lying down gently.

At this time, Luo Shun was sleeping soundly in the tent, snoring rising and falling. Qianqian looked at his simple and honest appearance and couldn't help but smile slightly, thinking this fellow really had a big heart.

Qianqian herself was indeed a bit tired as well. She closed her eyes and before long entered dreamland.

However, just as Qianqian had just returned to the tent and lain down, the Zhenxi General suddenly walked out from his own camp tent. He alertly scanned his surroundings, as if sensing that someone had just entered the camp.

But he observed for a long time yet discovered nothing.

The Zhenxi General felt some doubt in his heart, but didn't dwell on it excessively. He merely instructed his subordinates to pay more attention and report any abnormal situation to him immediately.

And on the other side, Qianqian had long since immersed herself in sweet dreamland, completely unaware of all this.

The next day, before dawn broke, the horizon had just turned a pale white when a clear bugle call already shattered the morning tranquility.

This sudden sound, as if a military order, made Qianqian and Luo Shun instantly startle awake from their sleep.

They quickly flipped up and got dressed with agile movements, preparing to head to the gathering point. Time was urgent; the two didn't even have time to wash up and hurriedly rushed to the training ground.

When they arrived, they discovered the others were the same as yesterday, already neatly lined up and standing ready.

Although everyone's faces carried a hint of weariness, yawning continuously, the moment they heard the order to start training, everyone immediately roused their spirits and threw themselves wholeheartedly into today's training.

The simple morning training, though not high in intensity, was enough to let everyone loosen up their bodies and awaken sleeping muscles.

Before long, the training ground presented a bustling scene, and everyone's mental state was also completely renewed.

After training ended, everyone went to the mess hall for breakfast. When Qianqian and Luo Shun entered the mess hall, they discovered the Zhenxi General was already sitting there, having started his breakfast.

The two merely glanced briefly and didn't think much of it, each getting their food, finding an empty seat, sitting down, and eating quietly.

However, just then, the Zhenxi General happened to raise his head, and his gaze fell precisely on Qianqian.

He couldn't help but feel some surprise, because this youth before him was not only short in stature but also looked very frail.

Such a physique, yet able to persist in such arduous training, was truly beyond his expectations.

Not only that, the Zhenxi General also noticed that Qianqian's footsteps when she had just entered the mess hall seemed somewhat like those of a person who had practiced martial arts.

This discovery made the doubt in his heart even greater, so he unconsciously lowered his eyes to ponder, completely forgetting he was still eating breakfast.

Time passed minute by second. Qianqian and Luo Shun quickly finished breakfast, while the Zhenxi General still remained immersed in his thoughts, not even having finished his meal.

The Zhenxi General watched Qianqian and Luo Shun gradually walk away into the distance. He gazed at their retreating figures, thoughtful.

After careful observation, the Zhenxi General discovered there was indeed an obvious difference between these two people.

Luo Shun's steps appeared somewhat clumsy, clearly not a martial arts practitioner; while the other person's steps were light and steady, revealing a distinctive temperament, seemingly a person who possessed martial arts.

A trace of curiosity rose in the Zhenxi General's heart. He decided to conduct a deeper investigation into these two people. Thus, he waved at the nearby Jin Xiao Jiao, signaling him to come over.

Seeing this, Jin Xiao Jiao hurriedly jogged over to the Zhenxi General and asked respectfully, "General, what are your orders?"

The Zhenxi General looked at Jin Xiao Jiao and said in a measured voice, "Those two people just now, do you know what they're called?"

Jin Xiao Jiao looked in the direction of the Zhenxi General's gaze, saw the direction Qianqian and Luo Shun had left, recalled for a moment, and replied, "These two, this subordinate indeed doesn't know their specific names clearly, but they're just ordinary minor scholars.

However, these two people never slack off in daily training, their attitude is very serious. They're two pretty good seedlings."

The Zhenxi General nodded, acknowledging Jin Xiao Jiao's evaluation. He then said, "Mm, you go investigate these two people's names and their background origins, especially that short one. Come tell me immediately once you find out."

Jin Xiao Jiao hurriedly acknowledged, "Yes, General!" Then turned and left to execute the Zhenxi General's order.

The Zhenxi General watched Jin Xiao Jiao's departing figure, didn't say anything more, just held a steamed bun in his hand, seemingly thinking about something.

After breakfast, a day's training formally began. Same as yesterday, first was a five-kilometer long-distance run. The soldiers neatly arrayed on the drill ground, preparing to welcome a new day's challenge.

With yesterday's experience, these people had a certain understanding of their own strength and endurance. Although somewhat unwilling in their hearts, they still all stepped forward and began running.

Qianqian and Luo Shun walked side by side, the distance between them maintained just right. Their steps were light and powerful, breathing also gradually steadying.

However, when they ran to three kilometers, Luo Shun's stamina began to fail. His breathing became rapid, steps also gradually growing heavy.

Qianqian noticed Luo Shun's condition. She didn't slow down, but while continuing to run, patiently guided him to adjust his breathing.

She told Luo Shun to breathe deeply, let air fully enter the lungs, then exhale slowly. At the same time, Qianqian continuously cheered Luo Shun on, encouraging him to persist.

With Qianqian's companionship and encouragement, Luo Shun gritted his teeth and strove to keep up with her pace. Though his body was already extremely fatigued, his heart felt incomparably warm.

With Qianqian's support, he felt today's five kilometers didn't seem as difficult to endure as yesterday.

And not far away, the Zhenxi General stood quietly, taking all this in with his eyes. His gaze fell on Qianqian and Luo Shun, thoughtful.

The Zhenxi General's heart seemed to be calculating something, but from his calm exterior, not the slightest clue could be seen.
