After exiting from the base, Gu Qingjiu returned to the secluded alley she passed by earlier on.

She turned to look at Lie Feng who was guiding her before politely asking, You are Lie Feng?

Yes.

Lie Feng answered directly before he added on, If were going by age, I can be considered as your father. Be more respectful and call me uncle.

Gu Qingjiu was speechless.

It was a little shameless.

But I cant tell that youre that old.

Thanks, I will take it as a compliment.

Gu Qingjiu laughed silently at his reply. Lie Fengs way of speaking was quite interesting.

After leaving the alley, she sat in Lie Fengs car for him to send her back.

She took the back seat this time. After she had entered, Lie Feng started the engine and looked at her through the rear mirror. He asked, Did you meet Zong Wenjia and the rest?

Who?

Gu Qingjiu was puzzled.

A pair of siblings.

Gu Qingjiu immediately recalled the arrogant pair and nodded. I met them.

They like to do weird things like testing the recruits out of the blue. Not sure if they bullied you this time as well.

Is that so?

Gu Qingjiu raised her brows as a semblance of an amused smile appeared on her face. I find it especially pointless, so I shot at the younger brother and hit his chin.

Surprise flashed across Lie Fengs eyes.

Soon after, he smacked the steering wheel as he erupted in laughter. How interesting. Youre the first recruit who retaliated right away. They are considered experienced in this field. Except for me and a few others, they gave almost all the recruits a hard time. However, before the recruits grasped the situation, they usually swallowed it. But you, you dared to retaliate.

Why wouldnt I dare? He was the one who asked for it.

Gu Qingjiu didnt like being treated in this manner.

Although a flowery way of saying it was to test a recruits abilities, that attitude and arrogance were detestable.

She had seen the internationally renowned Mu Sheng who had an arrogant aura as well, but that was because she was deserving of it.

This pair of siblings didnt feel strong so that arrogance felt disgusting.

Zong Wenxuan will one day get himself into trouble.

Lie Feng was not as cold to Gu Qingjiu as before. Instead, he was sizing Gu Qingjiu up with an amused gaze.

An eighteen-year-old young lady. Youre still very young.

This statement seemed to be said meaningfully.

Gu Qingjiu replied simply, Being young is an asset, which is why I dont know what to fear yet.

This reply showed that she understood Lie Fengs meaning.

Saying that she was too impulsive.

She understood and did not deny it.

Lie Feng started to feel a sense of appreciation for Gu Qingjiu.

He kept quiet after that.

Only

Because Gu Qingjiu didnt understand the department, when they were about to reach, she asked, Will the department send tasks at any time?

Youve just entered so they wont assign any tasks to you. The tasks which our department handles will not let an inexperienced person like you participate no matter how much potential you have. Just be a good student at the military school for now.

Lie Feng replied in great detail.

Gu Qingjiu was confused. If that was the case, what was their reason for recruiting her into the department this early?

But she didnt ask.

She remembered Lu Ziyangs words.

She needed to forget that she was a member of the Ninth Department. After all, she was still an ordinary student from a military school.
