Chapter 304: Penalan Empire, Where Royalty Reigns Above All Others

When Gu Qingjiu got back to her dormitory…

She was still thinking about Nian Chusheng’s reminder.

That wasn’t advice for her to stay low but more like not show off her results to outsiders.

Naturally, she would not do it, but she didn’t know the reason behind Nian Chusheng telling her that.

The soft clatter of keyboard clicking echoed through the dormitory as Qi Xiaoran typed.

Because of these past few days, Gu Qingjiu had neglected her studies so Qi Xiaoran’s progress was faster than her.

Since Gu Qingjiu couldn’t figure out his meaning no matter what, she decided to call He Niancheng.

After all, the two of them had already affirmed their relations.h.i.+p and were closer than before.

Gu Qingjiu dialed without any hesitation.

Of course, she avoided Qi Xiaoran and made the phone call outside the dormitory.

He Niancheng quickly answered the call. After listening to Gu Qingjiu, he coldly laughed.

“He’s afraid that someone would steal you away.”

He Niancheng quickly explained the reason to Gu Qingjiu.

“Your results are different from those people in the past. Once people from the National Defense University hear about it, it would be hard for them to not make a move. For now, it’s better for you to stay in this school. The other two are too complicated.”

“Okay, I understand.”

Gu Qingjiu had always listened to He Niancheng’s instructions, so after she finished asking, she started talking about other things.

“Chief Instructor, what are you doing now?”

They had just met but Gu Qingjiu always felt that she had never-ending things she wanted to share with him about.

“What I am doing, don’t you want to come and see for yourself?”

His low voice which was pleasing to the ear was heard over the call, causing Gu Qingjiu’s heart to tremble.

The smile on her face could no longer be hidden. “I think not. If I keep going over, people will realize.”

After all, she was a Year 1 student who was in a relations.h.i.+p with someone who was like a teacher to her. It was not wise to be too high profile with it.

But she still wanted to go.

“Am I too shameful to be seen or too hard to show?”

That sentence suddenly caused the atmosphere around her to feel dangerous. Gu Qingjiu trembled and quickly denied, “Of course not!”

“We’ve just started our relations.h.i.+p and we’re still in school. The military school does not allow for relations.h.i.+ps.”

Near the end, Gu Qingjiu’s voice became as soft as a whisper.

“Coughs…”

A sneer was heard from the other end. “Chinese…”

The word blurred out before he could finish.

Gu Qingjiu frowned. “Chief Instructor, are you not Chinese?”

She had always wanted to ask that since a long time ago.

He Niancheng’s facial features did not look like he was purely of Asian descent.

It was more of that of mixed blood.

And some of his actions were different from traditional Chinese as well.

But his perfect Chinese and the way he did things still had the shadow of one.

Which confused Gu Qingjiu.

Which country’s mixed blood child was he?

Since the start, she had never heard either the chief instructor or Commander Huo talk about his parents.

Normally, people of mixed descent are not allowed to enter the army, right…

Unless she guessed wrongly…

“I’m not.”

Who knew that He Niancheng would admit to it directly?

“Oh, you’re not. Which country are you from then? America? France? Germany…?”

Gu Qingjiu guessed most of the countries.

The traditional meaning of mixed blood were usually people from these countries.

“Penalan Empire.”

Penalan Empire.

It startled Gu Qingjiu.

Wasn’t that a country which was still under a monarchy. A country where royalty reigned above?

That was the country which she wanted to visit the most!
