Chapter 54: Going to Clean the Washroom?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Recalling the past always exuded a heart-tearing pain.

However, that kind of pain will fade away slowly with time—and eventually, that pain will remain only in the past.

Afterward, the remainder would be an inextinguishable hatred.

Gu Qingjiu wasn’t a kind person. Or maybe, it was because she held herself back too much.

When she lashed out at the people who bullied her in jail, she only felt a sense of satisfaction.

It was a type of pleasant feeling that even her soul would rejoice.

It was a type of addictive delight.

Some people couldn’t resist it, so they commit a crime.

Some people could resist it and suppress it in their hearts—those were the truly scary ones.

Gu Qingjiu fell into the second category.

She was a harmless kitten who had hid her sharp claws that had yet to fully grow.

However, kittens only needed to scratch lightly to make others bleed like crazy.

Gu Qingjiu had more or less changed.

She was still the same, but her soul had received another form of test already.

In case Gu Qingjiu couldn’t stay for too long in the military, she’d already gathered enough strength by then to resist the Yu family if ever they searched for her.

She entered the military in order to protect her parents and let them safely continue their worry-free lives.

To the current Gu Qingjiu, the three members of the Gu family were the most important people to her.

No matter who it was, no one shall try to touch her family or herself.

Even if she didn’t have the ability to change the world, she could be violent and cruel as well.

When that time comes, she just had to see who was crueler between her and the Yu family.

Recalling the person wearing a white robe earlier on, he should be the camp’s doctor.

A military doctor who was so handsome, gentle, elegant, and had such a unique aura, must have some popularity in camp. She didn’t expect for such a small city like the Dayi City to have so many outstanding people.

Such as Chief Instructor He Niancheng.

She heard that he had transferred over, though she didn’t know from where.

Just from his aura, Gu Qingjiu already knew that He Niancheng wasn’t an ordinary person.

She had seen the so-called elite society in North City before. There were successful people and powerful families that dabbled in politics everywhere, but none had an aura as strong as He Niancheng.

Not only did they not have his face, but their auras couldn’t even compare to one-tenth of what He Niancheng had. He Niancheng was indeed rather scary.

The main thing was that the lower ranks were mostly commoners who had came to enlist. The outstanding ones had long been transferred away. People like He Niancheng had always exuded a mysterious feeling that made others curious.

Could it be that he was someone from those legendary families?

Gu Qingjiu remembered that she had heard some rumors about those families back when she was still in the Yu family. Recalling these rumors, chills ran up her spine.

Those families were really important and powerful people. Even the Yu family couldn’t even touch the corners of their sleeves. What more for the common folks?

However, since Gu Qingjiu was curious, these were merely just some guesses. She definitely would not be able to guess where He Niancheng exactly came from.

After seeing that military doctor, Gu Qingjiu’s mind got a bit messy that she even forgot to look for Yu Bao’er. After a while, however, Yu Bao’er had returned and she was panting.

This girl, who looked strong and fierce, was rather casual and nice. Gu Qingjiu had slowly accepted her as a friend. She didn’t help Yu Bao’er in the fight because there really wasn’t a need to help. However, seeing Yu Bao’er’s current state, the punishment must have been quite bad.
