CHAPTER 358: CHAPTER 209: INQUIRY

In the muddy pond, Luo Ye moved swiftly with an effortless pose like a sleek fish, increasingly distancing herself from Yu Na.

Yu Na wore a thick waterproof garment, soaked and clinging tightly to her, causing extreme friction and severely hindering her speed. This made her extremely anxious, and she recklessly sped up, completely ignoring the sound of slight tearing.

Luo Ye had already crawled to a dry area, a smug smile playing on her lips, pretending that she was showing off her performance—competitiveness was her age’s prerogative!

Given Yu Na’s character, she was usually very cautious. However, admiration can drastically change one’s personality, making one go to great lengths to get noticed and liked by someone, becoming theirs alone.

Yu Na was no exception. She liked Ye Xuan and wanted to catch his attention. Luo Ye and the others had figured this out long ago, but only Luo Ye noticed that she had secretly modified her training uniform.

Her modification wasn’t the reckless slimming down like the new recruits; instead, she had tailored certain areas to enhance her figure without affecting training, almost imperceptible unless you knew what to look for, something only veterans would know. She probably learned it in the army, or perhaps it was something she once scorned but resorted to when faced with someone she admired.

The modifications naturally wouldn’t affect training under normal circumstances. Yu Na had worn a thick rubber waterproof garment underneath, likely for the additional protection of her lower abdomen.

However, with mud sticking to the waterproof coat’s exterior, her movement was greatly impeded, and it was no surprise that the hand-sewn alterations would burst under her desperate tugging.

This outcome had a lot to do with Hang Menglin’s disdain for anyone else; otherwise, she wouldn’t have allowed Yu Na to wear a waterproof coat in such an environment to compete tactically.

Having reached the dry spot, Yu Na hadn’t even caught her breath when Hang Menglin, standing on the opposite bank, ordered with a dark expression: "Turn around, return the way you came!"

Ye inside was even more delighted, another round? Sure, Xiao Yu set off again, her graceful figure sharply contrasting the awkward and gritty Yu Na, making the familiar trainees involuntarily give a thumbs up, only realizing face-to-face — not a spot of mud on Ye’s face.

She had Seventh Uncle Ye to thank for this; his Ye Family’s skillset included the art of Light Body Skill, which allowed for nimble movements. Though not as mystical as Qinggong described in films and television, it definitely had a significant advantage in speed and flexibility compared to ordinary people.

"Stand up!"

As she got up, Luo Ye sneakily glanced at Yu Na; indeed, her thighs and waist looked more sculpted, though the mud still obscured the details.

Facing the stark contrast between the clean, pretty face of Xiao Bai and the messy face of Huahua, Hang Menglin felt a headache coming. How could she have misjudged? This was supposed to be a setup to bolster Yu Na’s authority, but it ended up enhancing someone else’s.

When Hang Menglin eyes flicked to a certain spot, a sudden stiffness took over her gaze, a feeling of powerlessness flooding her: "Luo Ye, rejoin the team. Yu Na, run five laps around the training field!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"All instructors, lead your teams back to training!"

"Yes!"

If not for the fear of Female Yama’s authority, the trainees would have surely jumped up in cheer. Looking at Luo Ye, their eyes showed nothing but gratitude, unanimously believing that it was this lady who made Female Yama lose face, thus sparing them a fate. How awkward!

And that Female Yama left everyone to supervise Yu Na was even more surprising, which lightened everyone’s mood, making their movements exceptionally clean and beautiful. The instructors exchanged knowing looks, a subtle smile forming in their eyes.

Xing Nong quickly moved up a few steps to walk alongside Luo Ye, lowering his voice: "Luo Luo, I still didn’t quite understand, why did she let everyone off?"

Luo Ye chuckled: "Crawling a couple more times would have your clothes tearing into a beggar’s outfit, what would you do?"

"Ah? Amazing!" Xing Nong suddenly realized: "Punishing Yu Na was actually an opportunity for her to take off the waterproof suit inside, obviously losing dignity is better than losing face."

Luo Ye nodded, "Correct, but there’s really nothing that can be done about it. We can’t just tear open her split spot and yell that there’s a waterproof suit inside, can we?

I’m not afraid of offending female Yama, she wouldn’t care about me anyway, but there’s no need to make myself look petty, right?"

Xing Nong smirked, "That’s right, having some nice flesh to look at isn’t too bad either."

"You hooligan!"

...

After quickly finishing his shower, the first thing Luo Ye did was rush to Ye Mo’s dorm, as he was currently the only one who might know Ye Xuan’s whereabouts.

Seeing Luo Ye hustle in, Ye Mo smiled, "Ye’er, I guessed you’d come straight here. I’ve been waiting for you."

"Hello Auntie!" Luo Ye first greeted Mrs. Ye who was busy in the kitchen before turning to Ye Mo, "It seems Brother Ye knows the details?"

Ye Mo called out to Mrs. Ye, "Mom, Ye’er and I are going to talk inside. You carry on with your work."

Mrs. Ye waved her hand, "Go on, I promise I won’t eavesdrop."

"My mom..." Ye Mo shook his head helplessly, then closed the door with a serious expression, "Boss Ye was suddenly recalled last night at 9 pm. After final deliberation, the military is setting up the Special Combat A Division, which is essentially an expansion of Team A. They are proposing Captain Jiang as the division commander, and Boss Ye to be promoted as the Deputy Division Commander.

However, Boss Ye’s appointment has been stalled, so Director Lei urgently called him back to report to the higher-ups, hoping to gain more support.

The students selected this time from GF will directly assume leadership of Division A after graduation, with positions determined by their performance over the years.

Of course, during the four years, you’ll also have opportunities to participate in some operations, which will directly affect your future promotions. This is all from Captain Jiang.

He said, since you’ve decided to follow this path, you should aim for the best, otherwise, it’s better to give up."

"So... will Brother Ye still come back as the chief instructor?"

"The issues with Boss Ye aren’t something that can be resolved in a day or two. His appointment concerns not only him personally but also the Ye Family, and it’s crucial for many of us.

His competitor is Feng Tianzhi, this guy got lucky and destroyed a major international drug-trafficking syndicate, quickly rising to a position to compete with Boss Ye. If some people succeed, it won’t be easy for everyone."

"Understood." Luo Ye nodded. He knew about Feng Tianzhi and Wen Su, but upon retrospect, he had no memory of this person. In his past life, aside from hatred, he didn’t pay much attention to anything else; that indeed was extreme.

In this life, under his influence, things that intersected with him had changed. Although they seemed independent, they were actually intricately connected—like the Wen Family, like Ye Xuan, like Jiang Zheng, like Feng Hua, like Special Combat A Division...

Nu’an First watch is here, the word count is a bit low, couldn’t get more done, will add a Chapter at noon. It should be around 12 o’clock.
