Chapter 518 - Journey of the Young Men (2)
Ji Fengyan had never had such an experience.
She grew up in the mountains. Besides her Master, Grandmaster, the only ones who had been keeping her company were the beasts and spirits in the wild. Now that she was suddenly dragged into such a harmonious group, it felt interesting to her.
She could still remember a sentence that she had heard before.
Besides being related by blood, there were still two other strongest relationships — the first one being the peers whom we had been with for many years and the second one being battle partners who had been through life and death together.
It could be said that the bunch of young men in front had coincidentally been part of both groups.
“How is Qin Muyao’s injuries?” in between conversations, Ji Fengyan asked Liu Ruse.
It was originally Qin Muyao who had insisted on distracting the demon clan with her. As the battle was chaotic, Ji Fengyan was not very aware of Qin Muyao’s condition.
Liu Ruse’s eyelids were slightly droopy, “his injuries were not light. Luckily, the physician at the Qin family is highly skilled. He is still recuperating now and he should be fine.”
Ji Fengyan nodded slightly.
Liu Kai and the other ten young men had already started to drink intensely.
“Now that the capital institute is gone, we don’t know what to do in the future. It’s still alright for the people from the other institutions but it doesn’t feel right for us terminators to be allocated to any other institutions,” Liu Kai said with his face flushed red and with a helpless tone.
“What are you afraid of? No matter where we are allocated to, won’t we still be together? We have already survived the battle against the demon clan, so what other obstacles can we not overcome in the future?”
“Exactly! Even if we were to go to battle, we will be a bunch of brave eagles!” the young men who were already high from drinking started to speak fearlessly.
“Definitely! From today onwards, Fengyan will be our leader. Regardless of which institution we go to, as long as she’s there, what else should we be afraid of?”
The young men’s words made Ji Fengyan slightly stunned, and she did not know whether to laugh or cry.
“I’m afraid it will be impossible,” Ji Fengyan said.
“Ah? Why?” all the young men looked anxiously at Ji Fengyan.
“Fengyan, don’t tell me you are despising us for being useless? Don’t worry, we will definitely train hard and not be a burden to you.”
“Fengyan you cannot leave us behind.”
As one after another young men stood forward, they made Ji Fengyan almost laugh. She hurriedly said, “I don’t mean that, it’s just that… I have to enter the battlefield before you guys.”
Instantly, all the young men snapped out of their drunken stupor. The meaning behind Ji Fengyan’s words made them awake.
“What do you mean?”
Ji Fengyan replied, “I just received Your Majesty’s decree orders to join the battle seven days after the grand ceremony end.”
Instantly, all the smiles on their faces were gone.
“You are really going to the borders?” Liu Kai looked at Ji Fengyan in disbelief after he had snapped out of his drunken stupor.
How old was Ji Fengyan only?
She was still the youngest among their batch. With such a young age, there was no terminator who had dared to join the battlefield.
“What a joke!” Liu Kai stood up immediately. “You had only stayed at the institution for a few days and are already going to battle! Aren’t you taking your life too lightly?!”
Liu Kai spoke on behalf of everyone else.
Seeing the agitated Liu Kai, Ji Fengyan raised her hands to press him back.
“Who said that a person’s ability is related to their age? Aren’t I just a little too young? If I really go to battle, who would I be afraid of?”
