She’s a talent that can be groomed?

Huo Yingcheng redirected his attention back to Gu Qingjiu in the distance.

Suddenly, an amusement struck him.

“Heh. Major-general, you mean you wish to groom her?”

He Niancheng neither denied nor admitted.

“Let nature take its course.”

With that, he turned his head and began walking down the hill.

As one of his assistant commanders, how could Huo Yingcheng not understand what He Niancheng meant?

He meant that the lass Gu Qingjiu was a talent that can be perfected over time.

However, He Niancheng would help Gu Qingjiu advance only if there was a suitable opportunity.

It would depend on the lass’s luck.

Despite that being the case, Huo Yingcheng still found this amusing. He let out a chuckle and then followed He Niancheng down the hill.

At the Third Company’s Seventh Squad’s training.

Gu Qingjiu, who Xie Ya had defeated, felt a fiery and painful sensation in her chest.

Xie Ya didn’t attack to hurt or kill, so Gu Qingjiu didn’t feel like her defeat was anything to grumble about. She didn’t appear mad or anything as she returned to the squad.

Yu Bao’er, however, looked a little worried.

Gu Qingjiu knew what Yu Bao’er wanted to say and simply made an expression for the latter to relax.

Other than feeling shocked with Xie Ya’s hidden capabilities, Gu Qingjiu thought there was nothing unfair about it

Xie Ya defeated her with her true capabilities, so that was that.

It was a fact that she lost.

Victory and failure are common things among soldiers. Moreover, this was just an ordinary duel.

Gu Qingjiu understood this.

Such a mentality was rare to come by.

After all, not everyone could deal with their first failure with ease the way she did.

As for Xie Ya, after she had returned to the squad, everyone looked at her with astonishment and admiration.

With Jiang Yu and Feng Meiyun’s gazes, it was evident they felt pleased with the result.

However, when they looked towards Gu Qingjiu in a mildly mocking manner, they discovered she didn’t appear embarrassed like they had imagined she would be. On the contrary, she appeared relaxed and at ease like always.

She remained calm and quiet as if she didn’t face defeat earlier on.

Her attitude made others displeased.

After the girls finished sparring, next up would be the guys.

The victorious recruit could take part in the monthly fights.

After the afternoon’s training was over, everyone went to the canteen for a meal.

Yu Bao’er finally grumbled about the fact that Gu Qingjiu didn’t win.

“Qingjiu, it’s unfair that you lost. I had no idea that Xie Ya’s family ran a martial arts school. I heard she started learning taekwondo at a young age!”

During mealtime, Yu Bao’er, who sat with Gu Qingjiu, complained to Gu Qingjiu about that afternoon’s event.

When Gu Qingjiu heard this, she smiled. “What’s unfair about that? I lost because I wasn’t as capable and as strong as the opponent and that’s normal. Don’t talk about it anymore since it’s in the past now. You even won this afternoon, so by the day the next day, you will duel against other recruits from other classes. Go for it!”

Yu Bao’er pouted. She didn’t appear that concerned, just a bit worried. “I told you before about the advanced training camp. If we lose, would it affect our application for the training camp?”

Although she was the one who told Gu Qingjiu about it, she wasn’t exactly clear about the criteria for that tryout either.

Gu Qingjiu paused. She felt that this matter was a long time from now. Besides, many recruits weren’t even aware of the advanced training camp.
