His voice was ice-cold and sharp, bringing about a sense of torment to those who heard him.
He Niancheng remained where he was standing, his icy gaze piercing the surrounding air and falling upon Gu Qingmo with precision.
It caused the latter’s heart to tighten.
Gu Qingjiu paused in shock too, unable to fathom why this usually cold and aloof Chief Instructor was suddenly speaking up for her.
The instant he spoke, Huo Yingcheng’s indignant gaze turned to look at He Niancheng, then towards the baffled looking Gu Qingjiu. Stroking his chin, he felt somewhat amused.
Gu Qingmo’s brows furrowed as she looked at He Niancheng.
He was astounded.
This man’s gaze was way too scary.
The other party was like fish meat waiting to be minced up on the chopping board and without the slightest bit of power to struggle.
Was this person Qingjiu’s Chief Instructor?
Under such a gaze, the words Gu Qingmo had prepared to persuade Gu Qingjiu got stuck in his throat.
Gu Qingmo felt embarrassed by this.
Gu Qingjiu thought about it. With a resolute look in her eyes, she looked up at Gu Qingmo and said, “Brother, I know you’re saying this for my good, but it’s my dream to serve in the military. Regardless of what happens in the future, regardless of whether I’ll carve out success here, it’s my choice. I know you have my interests at heart, but I hope you’ll understand my choices just this once.”
After they would resolve the Yu family’s matter, she would choose to return to the Gu family.
She had to hold on after that sickly man in the Li family passed away; only then would the Yu family no longer have a reason to look for her.
Although her thinking was considered immoral, it was something that would inevitably happen.
Of course, the future is unpredictable, and no one knows what it would bring about in one’s life.
Looking at his younger sister’s resolute gaze, Gu Qingmo felt a myriad of emotions.
He had never seen Qingjiu look so determined before; it was as if the frail and dull younger sister in his memories had grown up overnight.
The mature and quiet aura about her made Gu Qingmo feel dazed and made his chest constrict.
He had no idea what had happened to his younger sister, because according to his parents, no accident happened at home, only that Qingjiu joined the military.
He kept feeling that there was a major transformation in his younger sister, and this transformation made him feel pain in the chest.
But he couldn’t quite pinpoint why.
Finally, Gu Qingmo left.
There wasn’t a place for family members to stay overnight in the troops, but since the city was near, Gu Qingmo went home.
After Gu Qingmo had left, Gu Qingjiu remained rooted to her spot, biting her lips extremely hard.
Power was a good thing. Because of the Yu family’s influence, she entered the military.
Yu Bao’er went up to Gu Qingjiu and saw that the latter appeared down. She wanted to ask her to go back to the dormitory, but He Niancheng suddenly walked over.
And it gave Yu Bao’er such a scare that she bounced far away.
Seeing Yu Bao’er’s reaction, Huo Yingcheng let out a ‘tsk’ sound.
Look at how scared the girl was of him!
He Niancheng walked to Gu Qingjiu. Ignoring her emotions, he uttered something that surprised her. “You lost the duel this afternoon.”
Gu Qingjiu raised her head and nodded, somewhat dazed. “Yes, Chief instructor.”
He Niancheng narrowed his eyes. “You know why you lost?”
Gu Qingjiu answered honestly, “I’m not as skilled as her.”
“Since you’re not as skilled as her, you ought to work harder. Instead of shedding tears over the changes of seasons here.”
He Niancheng finished speaking, then turned to leave.
Gu Qingjiu was speechless.
