It was the day of their dueling session.
The other week, Gu Qingjiu, Jiang Yu, and also the newcomer Gao Rui…
All three of them progressed into this week’s dueling session.
Gu Qingjiu paid close attention when Gao Rui competed.
And she came to a realization that Gao Rui wasn’t a new recruit.
Her dueling skills weren’t that bad. The only difference was in the way she fought because it wasn’t the same way as theirs—she had a more combative form of fight style.
Both she and Gu Qingjiu won consecutively.
That made Gu Qingjiu sense danger.
Since it was only a round away before her turn, she stood among the crowd and watched the fight.
But as she watched, she was constantly in a disturbed state of mind.
All of a sudden, someone patted her on her shoulder.
She turned to realize it was Huo Yingcheng.
Seeing Huo Yingcheng, Gu Qingjiu revealed a smile. “Commander Huo, you’re back?”
Huo Yingcheng seemed to shuffle in and out of the military camp from time to time.
The Chief Instructor had stopped asking her to help him buy things; hence, Commander Huo would settle it after he had returned.
Huo Yingcheng glanced at the crowd, and he said in a cheerful voice, “Isn’t your competition about to start?”
Gu Qingjiu nodded. “Yes, why? You plan to watch the competition, Commander Huo?”
“I’m not here to watch the competition. I’m just here to tell you that if you win this, it’s a guarantee for you to enter the advanced training camp.”
It shocked Gu Qingjiu. “Why? Don’t they need to do a selection? There’s a new recruit who goes by the name of Gao Rui, and her performance isn’t bad.”
“Gao Rui is different…” At the mention of Gao Rui, Huo Yingcheng appeared mysterious. “She’s purely here to join in the fun. Just don’t get into a conflict with her. I guarantee you if you win this, you will enter the advanced training camp.”
Upon hearing this, Gu Qingjiu raised a brow. “Is this considered getting in by the back door?”
“What back door?” Huo Yingcheng asked righteously. “This is aboveboard. How can you call it getting in through the back door?”
Gu Qingjiu was speechless.
“Gu Qingjiu. Gu Qingjiu!”
Chen Haoyang’s voice was heard. Gu Qingjiu immediately jogged over, and when she turned back to look, Commander Huo had already disappeared in the crowd.
Gu Qingjiu’s opponent this time was a girl from the Third Unit, and she easily won her.
She realized that the longer she trained, her reflexes became sharper and sharper.
Others didn’t seem to have Gu Qingjiu’s sharpness and level of perception.
Could it be a benefit of being reborn?
After she had won, Chen Haoyang gave her a thumbs-up.
Gao Rui watched her from the crowd.
At the thought of how she had a confirmation to enter the advanced training camp, Gu Qingjiu heaved a sigh of relief in her heart.
But before she could receive her reward, someone came to inform her that there was an emergency call from her phone, and she was asked to go to the mailroom to answer the call.
Soldiers aren’t allowed to carry their phones with them, and they could only retrieve their phones during the weekend.
If there was an emergency from home, they could only call the military.
But her family never gave Gu Qingjiu an emergency call before.
Upon hearing this, Gu Qingjiu had a bad premonition.
She suddenly recalled that Tan Yalan of the Yu family called her last Friday.
Could it be that it had something to do with the emergency call?
On the way, her brows were furrowed as she thought about such a matter.
Accordingly, the Yu family shouldn’t have any actions yet. Why was her family calling her so urgently then?
The uneasiness she felt grew in intensity.
