Xiang Jintian pursed his lips, remaining silent and not participating in their spat.
Xu Qian, naturally, said nothing.
Finally, one of the powerful figures retreated in embarrassment.
Xiang Jintian, holding the person in his arms, couldn't help but ask, "What did Ah Bai do wrong?"
Qianqian seemed very angry, it must not be a small matter.
Xu Qian huffed, "He called me a Yaksha mother."
Xiang Jintian: ...
Could Ah Bai really say that? He expressed his doubt.
Xu Qian tapped his forehead and smiled, "You wouldn't be able to guess even if you racked your brains. By the way, how are Lili and the others?"
Xiang Jintian knew Xu Qian's close friends well. When Ah Bai was adrift, he and Xu Qian formed the Sunfire Team at Hope Base, with members Gu Qing, Li Lili, Cheng Liangqing, and Cheng Liangze.
At Hope Base, the Sunfire Team ranked first in combat power and had a very close bond.
"They are all well. Liangqing and Lili have rejoined the army. Gu Qing and Liangze are working in the laboratory, and so is Letong."
Xu Qian nodded; it was good that they were all well.
Xiang Jintian hesitated for a moment and said, "Do you want to go see them?"
"Okay."
The girl sat up, her strap slipping off her shoulder, revealing her fair skin.
She didn't bother to pull it back up and went into the washroom to freshen up.
Xiang Jintian's face turned red as he slowly got out of bed.
His pants felt a bit tight...
When Xu Qian came out, Xiang Jintian had already regained his composure, sitting calmly and drinking tea.
She glanced at him, her gaze drifting downwards. Had he recovered so quickly?
Xiang Jintian, a top soldier, was highly sensitive to visual cues and immediately noticed where Xu Qian was looking.
His face flushed with awkwardness, and he called out, "Qianqian!"
"Hmm? Let's go."
The two drove to the military camp. Guangming Base was vast, encompassing almost the entire urban area of B City, except for the outskirts.
Guangming Base retained the original architecture of B City. The area closest to the main gate was entirely the military camp, which was expanding outwards towards the boundaries.
Therefore, Jintian said that Guangming Base was exceptionally safe, and the X Group's repeated attacks had rarely succeeded, being completely repelled.
Xiang Jintian navigated the roads, eventually driving up the mountain.
There was a military base on the mountain. Upon entering, they saw many people in camouflage uniforms running with weighted packs, while a smaller group engaged in various exercises like frog jumps, climbing, and combat.
Xu Qian's eyes lit up; she hadn't seen this at Hope Base or Tangshi Base.
In their eyes, soldiers were merely for defending the base and didn't undergo extensive training.
At most, they ran a bit or did push-ups.
Guangming Base, led by Xiang Jintian as its commander, was entirely different.
"Jintian, no wonder Guangming Base's defenses are so strong. Other bases aren't as professional as yours."
Xiang Jintian's lips curved slightly. Receiving approval, especially Xu Qian's approval, made him extremely happy.
"Guangming Base has trained many new recruits, and they might... be better fighters than you."
Xu Qian raised an eyebrow. Better than her? Was he joking?
She was trained by Xiang Jintian himself.
"Are you doubting yourself by saying that? I was trained by you."
Xiang Jintian cleared his throat and parked the car.
"I'm getting old, can't compare to the young ones."
After engaging the handbrake, the girl pounced and kissed his face fiercely.
"What are you saying? Old? You're not old at all! You're young!"
You're so good-looking, you don't look old at all!
Xiang Jintian, smeared with her saliva, nearly overflowed with a smile.
He was indeed... aging.
He was a little overwhelmed by the young girl's enthusiasm.
