Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Qin Silong had strong convictions that he would not end up becoming a bandit. Upon learning about his impending promotion to a captain, Su Ping expressed his own determination to work diligently.
As Qin Zhenzhen finished reading the letter, she couldn’t help but smile. She hadn’t anticipated that her fourth brother would become Su Ping’s newfound inspiration. Simultaneously, Su Bin received a letter of his own, assuring his family of his safety and detailing his current situation. In the letter, he expressed his commitment to matching Qin Silong’s accomplishments. Knowing that Qin Silong was on the cusp of becoming a chiliarch, Su Bin aimed to work diligently and achieve a promotion to the same rank in the near future.
Su Bin couldn’t help but smile at the thought of his troublesome second brother now having a clear life goal. He believed that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, his second brother would undoubtedly blossom into a successful military officer. He felt a deep gratitude towards Qin Zhenzhen and her fourth brother for guiding his second brother onto the right path.
Despite being privy to some of Qin Zhenzhen’s secrets, Su Bin still remained in the dark about Qin Silong’s clandestine matters. Based on the reports from the Dragon Phoenix Hall at the military camp, Su Bin couldn’t help but ponder whether Qin Silong possessed an uncanny ability to foresee the future due to his seemingly extraordinary luck.
Since Su Bin had assumed control of the Dragon Phoenix Hall, its once-dormant members had begun to emerge and become more active throughout the country.
The intelligence network of the Dragon Phoenix Hall operated through a hierarchical structure, with a Hall Master and a Branch Hall Master in each region. Historically, the position of Hall Master had been held by Mr. Chen’s father, followed by Mr. Chen himself. Currently, Su Bin held the position of Hall Master, with Mr. Chen willingly serving as the Deputy Hall Master.
Beneath the Branch Hall Masters, there were numerous branches scattered throughout different regions, and their members were dispersed across the entire country. They had operatives in various military camps, ensuring a widespread presence.
Upon Su Ping and Qin Silong’s deployment to the Northern border camp, Su Bin tasked Mr. Chen with monitoring their activities. Simultaneously, he instructed Mr. Chen to provide support to help them establish themselves in the military camp.
However, as per reports from their operatives, it appeared that Qin Silong didn’t require external assistance. He displayed remarkable self-sufficiency and an uncanny ability to foresee future events. His exceptional luck propelled him to the rank of chiliarch in just half a year, with each promotion earned through his own meritorious battle achievements.
Su Bin received the letter and decided to share it with Qin Zhenzhen. He approached her and said, “Wife, Second Brother has sent a letter. Let me show you.”
Qin Zhenzhen hesitated but ultimately accepted the letter. “It’s not good for me to read the letter Second Brother gave you, right?”
Su Bin shook his head with a reassuring smile. “What’s wrong with that? We’re family now. Our lives are intertwined.”
With that, he handed the letter over to Qin Zhenzhen, who began reading it quickly. Once she had finished, Su Bin inquired, “I heard that Fourth Brother also wrote a letter to you. Would you mind showing it to me?”
He harbored suspicions that both Qin Silong and Qin Zhenzhen possessed some kind of extraordinary ability, potentially linked to their shared secrets. Their power seemed to extend into the realm of predicting future events, such as the time Qin Silong saved their sister.
However, if Qin Zhenzhen refused to reveal the contents of Qin Silong’s letter, it was evident that there was more to their secret than met the eye.
Nevertheless, if she chose to share it, Su Bin hoped to uncover any hidden clues that might lie between the lines.
Qin Zhenzhen, however, declined his request firmly. “I’m sorry, but it’s not convenient. Fourth Brother and I discussed some private matters in his letter, and I don’t want to invade his privacy.”
Su Bin looked somewhat disappointed but respected her decision. “Alright, I won’t insist..”
