The Emperor was overjoyed. After showering Ji Fengyan with compliments, he also conveniently decided the date that Ji Fengyan would join the army camp.
It would be seven days after the young men had gathered at the capital city and received the Emperor’s praises.
Ji Fengyan also said nothing else. After thanking the Emperor, she brought the treasures that she was just rewarded with back to the Ji residence.
Even if a mosquito was small, there was still flesh on it. Despite the minimal effects of the spiritual energy from these treasures on recovering her inner core, she still could not waste them.
While Ji Fengyan was indifferent about this matter, when the news was heard by the Ji family, there was instantly an uproar.
Ji Ru summoned Ji Fengyan the first moment and questioned her about what had happened. After knowing that it was personally requested by the Emperor and that it was already decided, Ji Ru could not help but express his helplessness.
They could not defy the orders of the Emperor. Even if Ji Ru was unwilling to send Ji Fengyan to the battlefield this early, it was unlikely for him to be able to do anything else.
When Linghe and the rest knew about this, they did not have much reaction. They were originally retired from the battlefield and had only returned to an ordinary life because of the death wishes of Ji Yun. Now that they had heard that Ji Fengyan was going to join the battle, they could only feel the ardor and zeal coursing through their blood.
“Miss, don’t worry. All of us would follow you anywhere for this lifetime. We will go wherever you are going to. We have some knowledge about the battles at the borders. Even though I cannot wish you victory in every battle, but we will definitely give in our all in whichever area that we can help with,” Linghe led his group of guards to express their loyalty to Ji Fengyan.
Ji Fengyan looked at them. How could she not know their intentions?
The incident at the capital institute had already brought them much fear. Now that Ji Fengyan was going to enter the battlefield at such a young age, this group of people must have been beyond shocked, so how could they still allow themselves to be separated from Ji Fengyan at all?
“Alright, there’s no issue with following me to the battlefield, but you guys cannot be lax on your daily training. During the time when I was at the institution, you guys have been well-behaved and did not laze around.” Ji Fengyan smiled as she spoke. Yang Jian had updated their daily activities.
Linghe and the rest laughed sheepishly. They had already followed Ji Fengyan’s method to train for half a year. Even though they had not tested them in an actual battle, they could already feel slight improvements in themselves. However, the amount of improvement in them could only be seen in an actual battle.
“Just rest assured, Miss. All of us have been hardworking. When we go to the borders in the future, we will definitely not be a disgrace for you,” Linghe promised confidently.
Ji Fengyan laughed as she shook her head. She was about to look for little Liu Huo to inform him about her joining the army. However… Liu Huo had already left the Ji residence in the afternoon and had only said that he would be leaving for these two days. But the exact details about his reason for departure was unknown.
Ji Fengyan was already used to this young man’s random disappearance. After all, Liu Huo would return after some time and Ji Fengyan never asked much about why Liu Huo had disappeared. She believed in Liu Huo’s judgement and was willing to give him some privacy.
Only when she was able to let go of him at appropriate timing, then would their relationship last long.
With the grand ceremony that the Emperor had planned around the corner, the young men who had been recuperating in different parts of the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon started to gather in the capital city…
