Chapter 1124: Chapter 1136: The Enchantress Who Brings Ruin to Nations
For the Special Training Team members, such terrain couldn’t be better, so Mu Xingfeng set the first round of the selection for the Special Training Team in Nan’an.
Mu Xingfeng was busy, and An Ran obediently stayed at home reading, cooking, and being a considerate and responsible wife.
She knew that during the special training days, not only was there mental tension but also poor rest. In the deep mountains and old forests, there was only dry food to eat, and sometimes even not enough of that, so these days, her meals were also ensuring nutrition.
For Mu Xingfeng, the days he missed the most in Nan’an were probably only during this period.
After a tense and busy day, coming home to a sweet and lovely wife, along with delicious meals, and after dinner, being able to take a walk in the courtyard with his wife.
Doing a job he loved and facing the woman he adored every day, such days would never tire him no matter how long they lasted.
"Wife, I really want to take you with me," Mu Xingfeng sighed, holding the girl’s small hand tightly as they walked on the quiet path.
"Husband, you’ve been getting more sentimental lately," An Ran chuckled softly beside him.
"Yes, I used to think I was upright and incorruptible in matters of principle, understanding the bigger picture, but now, I’m starting to indulge in the beauty of being with my loved one, looking forward every day to coming home, to see this little face I’ve missed so much, and to hear her happily calling me husband," Mu Xingfeng said with a smile lingering at the corner of his lips.
An Ran stopped, pouting her cherry petal-like lips with dissatisfaction, "Husband, the way you say it makes me sound like a femme fatale."
Mu Xingfeng turned back and smiled, the streetlight reflecting in his dark eyes like shattered stars, as if about to draw her whole being in.
"Captain Mu seems quite leisurely," an abrupt voice sounded from behind them. An Ran turned towards the voice and saw Jia Chenggang walking out from behind a tree.
"I always thought Captain Mu was upright and selfless, but I never expected that one day Captain Mu would use public resources for private grievances because of a woman. The Special Training Team is the only team within the Empire belonging to the highest national secrecy. I really doubt whether Captain Mu, with such a mindset, truly qualifies to be the Special Training Team’s captain."
The punishment for Jia Chenggang for that incident was two days of confinement, so it seems he’s just been released?
Mu Xingfeng had long since wiped the smile from his face, listening to Jia Chenggang’s doubts with a look of indifference, "Whether I am qualified to be the Special Training Team’s captain is not something Captain Jia should consider. However, I must remind Captain Jia not to forget the nature of the Special Training Team. I think from the day you participated in the Special Training Team selection, all those who entered the selection for the Special Training Team had pledged an oath to the Empire’s flag. What? Has Captain Jia forgotten the oath since leaving the Special Training Team?"
As Jia Chenggang mentioned, the Special Training Team itself is a team under the highest national secrecy. The selection for the Special Training Team is also conducted secretly. All participants in the Special Training Team selection take an oath of secrecy to the Empire’s flag. Those eliminated must remain tight-lipped as well.
Jia Chenggang had already been eliminated from the Special Training Team, and now coming here loudly questioning Mu Xingfeng was itself a violation of team rules.
Jia Chenggang was momentarily stunned, but his fist at his side tightened, "Mu Xingfeng, don’t get too complacent. Even if you are the captain of the Special Training Team, you can’t have everything your way. I will come back for next year’s Special Training Team selection."
