The air was strangely awkward.
Nan Yingxuan raised his head and glanced helplessly at He Niancheng.
He was still the same, still insensitive to her feelings.
He didn’t even care that a young lady like her would feel embarrassed.
Those words stumped Xie Ya and it made her extremely embarrassed.
Moreover, it was her Chief Instructor who made her feel that way.
There were so many onlookers around them.
Her heart raced, but it was only because she felt shameful.
Xie Ya desperately wanted to crawl into any crack on the floor and hide from everyone else.
Yet, she still had to say what she felt. “Chief Instructor, I know that if the recruits… If they consecutively win the fighting competitions for three months, they’ll be able to join the advanced training camp. I want to ask…”
Her voice was hoarse, and she stuttered. Nevertheless, He Niancheng was still relentless.
“You ought to ask the instructor in-charge regarding matters like that.”
He was cold and his words were emotionless.
Every word was like a sharp needle, piercing through Xie Ya’s heart as he spoke.
She didn’t even dare to raise her head to look at the people around her.
She merely answered, “Yes, I understand.”
It was obvious that she was choking on her words. Afterward, she hurriedly dashed out.
The longer she stayed, the more she would feel embarrassed.
Seeing He Niancheng treat a new recruit so harshly, Feng Meiyun and the others felt shocked too.
They always thought He Niancheng was only harsh regarding punishments but didn’t expect him to be so ruthless with his words, too.
They felt like their fragile hearts were broken. Jiang Yu held Feng Meiyun, and they swiftly left.
Yu Bao’er’s mouth gaped in shock.
Although the Chief Instructor treated them in such a manner, she felt rather pleased deep inside.
However, the Chief Instructor’s words could still potentially hurt someone.
It could still happen, even though the Chief Instructor didn’t hesitate before he answered.
Gu Qingjiu didn’t feel much regarding what happened, though.
She knew that He Niancheng was just being himself. He was consistently the same in front of everyone.
But she had to say that Xie Ya was too impulsive.
Nan Yingxuan chuckled. “My dear Commander He, young ladies like them are very fragile nowadays.”
Yet, his face didn’t show any hint of sympathy.
He Niancheng frowned and looked at him. “Do you think I said the wrong thing?”
“Of course not! Chief Instructor, everything you say is right!”
Yu Bao’er stood up and tried to suck up to He Niancheng.
He Niancheng remembered her. He merely glanced at her and didn’t acknowledge her words.
Gu Qingjiu tugged at Yu Bao’er’s sleeve, hinting her to stop making the matter worse.
Once again, a deep and hoarse voice spoke again, “I forgot to inform you that Commander Huo already returned.”
Gu Qingjiu looked at He Niancheng, realizing that he was speaking to her. Stunned momentarily, she finally asked, “Where did Commander Huo return to?”
“He returned to where he ought to be. Before he left, he especially instructed me to inform you of some things.”
A cold glint flashed across He Niancheng’s eyes.
Gu Qingjiu was speechless.
She simply had no words.
Could the Chief Instructor be jealous of Commander Huo’s words?
Would he think there was something going on between her and Commander Huo?
After she had finally seen the better side of the Chief Instructor, was he going to aim his displeasure at her because of that?
She was rather flustered.
As Yu Bao’er watched, she almost screamed.
It was clear that there was something fishy about the two of them. She observed how he had spoken to Xie Ya and Gu Qingjiu.
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that there was a drastic difference!
Was it because Xiao Jiu’er was pretty?
Yu Bao’er thought the Chief Instructor wasn’t such a superficial person. After all, with his looks, he ought to be fearful that too many women were vying for him instead.
