Chapter 94: Chapter 93 – Innocent Mu Lin (Fourth update) _1 Chapter 94: Chapter 93 – Innocent Mu Lin (Fourth update) _1 In the afternoon, after the rest.
With military boots tapping on the ground, Ling Li scanned the expressionless young faces in front of him with indifferent eyes and slowly said, “Initially, I planned on taking it easy on you guys during this afternoon’s training, given the significant progress you’ve made these few days. But!” The word ‘But’ was surprisingly solid and forceful, “When I saw you all in the canteen today, you seemed remarkably energetic. It seems this morning’s training was pretty easy on you. So, I’ve suddenly changed my mind.”
Upon hearing Ling Qi’s words, everyone’s eyes swiveled towards Jing Youlan and Xue Jianbing. They had all witnessed today’s incident in the canteen earlier and thought they had evaded the consequences, only to discover that the instructor had been present too, and not just watching, but also taking it to heart.
The culprits involuntarily swallowed hard, subconsciously glancing at Xue Jianbing. They were familiar with Ling Qi’s fierce reputation since their first day here, and wondered what new torment he had planned for them this time.
“Aren’t you all energetic?” Ling Qi icily snorted, “I noticed you were almost ready for a brawl at noon. If so, don’t say I didn’t give you a chance, allowing you… to finally have a good fight!”
His words had barely faded when some people’s eyes suddenly lit up.
Did his words mean that they wouldn’t be punished?
All one could say was, their thoughts were too… optimistic.
Sure enough! After a brief pause, Ling Qi continued, “There won’t be any reward for the winner, but the losers will have to run ten laps around the training ground. No meals or rest unless you finish!” He was curious to see whether they would still be as arrogant as before.
Since they had ended up under his charge, he didn’t care about their previous identities. To him, they were all new recruits! If these new recruits dared to act all high and mighty, then they had to be ready to pay the price.
Ten laps!
On hearing Ling Qi’s words and seeing the vast training ground before them, those who were initially excited were immediately deflated.
Ten laps, they were practically demanding their lives!
Unfortunately, whether they liked it or not, they had no choice in the matter anymore.
…
“Mu Lin, step forward!” Ling Qi scanned the crowd and his gaze finally landed on Mu Lin. In the next moment, a multitude of sympathetic or gloating eyes turned towards Mu Lin who was bemused by the attention.
She walked forward two steps and stood in front of Ling Qi.
“Have you ever learnt free fighting?” Ling Qi asked, looking at Mu Lin.
“Instructor, no.” Mu Lin answered honestly, eliciting a choke from Ling Qi. He sincerely wanted to ask what those moves she used when facing Min Qian previously were.
“Really not?” Ling Qi didn’t quite believe her.
Mu Lin: “…”
“Instructor, my master once told me to always be honest and not to lie.” Although most people didn’t know it, there were many times when Mu Lin’s ‘honesty’ was unnatural, as for those who have been on the receiving end of Mu Lin’s ‘honesty’, they could only lament their misfortune.
Ling Qi: “…Fine, return to the ranks.” Even though Ling Qi was curious about who the master that Mu Lin was referring to was and whether they are the one that taught her those strange skills, he didn’t take what Mu Lin said to heart and chose to ‘temporarily’ let it go.
The next moment, before everyone could settle their nerves, the next unlucky individual was unequivocally singled out.
“Jing Youlan, step forward!”
