A sharp assembly whistle sounded in every ear simultaneously, “Emergency assembly!” The instructor’s voice, roaring like a lion, shocked them awake from their sleep, making them sit up straight and scramble out from their beds in a messy state.

“Assemble at the training ground in one minute.” After his command, he vanished before anyone could speak.

Looking out at the dimly lit sky through the window, everyone had a good yawn before quickly getting dressed and running towards the training ground.

The training ground.

The instructor was now sternly looking at his stopwatch, casting cold glances at the soldiers who arrived in hesitant clusters.

When the time reached sixty seconds, all the new recruits had assembled. Though, some of them were still sleepy, yawning constantly.

Apart from the few unexplained gatherings when they first joined the camp, the instructor hadn’t messed with them for a long time.

They recalled their dumbfounded expressions on their first day at the military camp upon hearing the assembly whistle. Many had been dragged out of bed by the instructor, arriving at assembly with clothes put on haphazardly, buttons up and down mismatched and a look of total chaos. Now, they were gradually adapting to the soldier’s life.

Ling Qi was quite pleased with this progression.

After all, there is hope for the young.

…

After a lazy yawn, everyone started to look serious.

“I wonder what trick the instructor is going to play this time with this emergency gathering? Should we get to go back to sleep soon?” Jing Youlan muttered thoughtfully, thinking optimistically.

“It’s definitely not going to be anything good.” Ji Shubai smirked. The last time, it wasn’t good news; they were dragged out of bed in the middle of the night, then punished, sometimes even having to assemble several times. They could barely get out of bed the next day.

He worried about what kind of game they’d have to play this time.

Jing Youlan was still half-dozing.

Hearing the voices behind him, Mu Lin didn’t show any particular expression.

Luckily, she had taken a nap while eating dinner last night. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have had the energy to deal with this unexpected training.

Ling Qi’s gaze scanned over Mu Lin. When he returned yesterday, Wang Ye had reported to him. He thought Yue Qiao would come to find him, but after waiting for a long time, he never saw her. Only then did he find out that Mu Lin had quietly resolved this matter.

He made a mental note to thank her properly.

No, it might be more appropriate to thank that lad, Jing Chen. He was the one that brought her in. Jing Chen had returned yesterday afternoon. But for some reason, he seemed to disappear until evening.

That boy, Ling Qi would have thought he rushed to meet his lover first thing upon returning if he didn’t know him better.

It was safe to say that Ling Qi was quite mistaken about him; he didn’t know Jing Chen as well as he believed.

…

“Do you know why I’ve called an emergency assembly at this point in time?” he asked, looking at all the new recruits.

Everyone stayed silent but deep down, they had already cursed Ling Qi.

If they had known why, they would be the ones instructing the recruits instead of him.

As if he had heard their inner thoughts, Ling Qi gave a genuine smile, but without humor in his eyes, “I see you guys don’t know. Since that’s the case, I’ll be kind enough to tell you, no need to thank me excessively.”
