The theory class in the afternoon was the most comfortable to attend and everyone’s favorite, at least no one had to endure the sun and wind. Song Jingyi and Li Chun huddled together, always fixing their gleaming eyes on the instructor on stage.

After the class, the training officer immediately rushed over to tell Gu Xiaoxi that someone was looking for her at the entrance.

Overjoyed, Gu Xiaoxi ran out, and at the entrance of the fourth company, saw Quan Shaoqing’s car parked outside.

She happily stepped forward, and at that moment, the window of the ZO car slowly rolled down.

Through the window, the man’s handsome features were revealed. That familiar and domineering face was incredibly handsome from any angle, a 360-degree no dead angle, so handsome it seemed like he had no friends.

Gu Xiaoxi hadn’t expected Quan Shaoqing to come personally. She opened the car door, got in, and sat down beside him.

"Have your injuries healed?" she asked, then felt this question was too stupid; it had only been two or three days since the injury, which had been severe, so it would be strange if he had already recovered.

"It’s nothing, you said you were worried, right? I’ve personally brought it to you. Also, your favorite crab and snacks. I bought these from the street across from your hometown," Quan Shaoqing said while handing a paper bag to Gu Xiaoxi.

Without opening the bag, Gu Xiaoxi could already smell the aroma and felt her mouth water.

Gu Xiaoxi held the bag in her hands, feeling a warmth in her heart, and sincerely said, "Thank you!"

"When have you ever been so polite? Here, this is what you wanted. Take a quick look, and then I’ll take it back.

Also, I heard you got into a fight yesterday?

" Quan Shaoqing’s tone became slightly stern, his attractive features sharpening at the edges.

His dark eyes were always deep and intimidating.

Gu Xiaoxi was not afraid of him. Anxiously taking the item he offered, she then gave him a nonchalant smile, "You know about the fight? Aren’t you too free?"

As she spoke, she unrolled the scroll.

"Don’t try to be slick; I know everything you do. And that Shao Changfeng, are you on good terms with her?" Quan Shaoqing said angrily.

His tone sounded odd.

Gu Xiaoxi paused in opening the scroll, looked up at him steadily, with confusion in her eyes, "What a weird thing to say, what kind of relationship could I have with him? We are just superior and subordinate! What are you thinking?"

After her words, Gu Xiaoxi bent her head down to look at the scroll again.

Lin Mi drove the car, hiding in the driver’s seat and snickering.

The boss is really done for, starting to feel jealous like this.

He tried to hold back his laughter, but the sound still leaked out.

Quan Shaoqing, annoyed, kicked the seat in front of him, not allowing himself to believe he couldn’t hear the snickering. And this was the intelligence he reported! He would deal with him back at the base.

Gu Xiaoxi stared at the scroll, but the more she focused on it, the dizzier she became. Eventually, she almost felt hypnotized.

If she hadn’t quickly closed the scroll and shook her head, she might have fallen asleep.

Quan Shaoqing saw her unusual expression and worriedly asked, "What’s wrong? Is there a problem?"

Gu Xiaoxi immediately leaned toward Quan Shaoqing, closing the distance between them a little.

She pointed at the characters on the scroll and asked, "Do these make you feel dizzy when you look at them?"

Quan Shaoqing shook his head, "I don’t feel anything."

"Then can you understand what these characters say?" Gu Xiaoxi widened her eyes, feeling a very strange sensation.

As she looked at the scroll, there was a feeling of being irresistibly drawn in, powerless, as if being hypnotized. Could it be because her cultivation wasn’t sufficient?

"I can’t understand it!" Quan Shaoqing, although he had some contact with Special Ability Users and a few cultivators, did not understand the text on the scroll.

Gu Xiaoxi picked up Volume One, unrolled it, and at a glance, could instantly understand it.

Indeed, all the characters were ancient, but to her, it was as if she was born knowing them.

As she looked at the words, her mind went blank for a moment, her thoughts sped up exceptionally fast, and she could even faintly sense her blood boiling within her.

So strange!

Gu Xiaoxi carefully read through Volume One several times, then rolled up all three volumes together, picked them up, and placed them back in Quan Shaoqing’s hands, "You take it back first, it’s very important. Keep it safe for me."

Quan Shaoqing’s breath became a bit hot. Especially since they were so close, he could smell the unique fragrance of her body.

It wasn’t until Gu Xiaoxi placed the scroll in his hands that he came back to his senses, "I’ll keep it safe for you. If you have the talent of a cultivator, I can find you a teacher."

The previous night, he had specifically asked some cultivators about it, and learned that cultivators have extremely demanding requirements for one’s physique.

Therefore, within a population of a hundred million, there might only be one who could meet the requirements.

Therefore, such individuals are extremely rare and precious; if one could cultivate to the Great Accomplishment Realm, not only would they be able to maintain eternal youth, but they could also enter the world military base and become a true world powerhouse, looking down upon all.

If she could reach that step, then his painstaking efforts to nurture her would not have been in vain.

"I do have a master. But now, I don’t know where he is. Don’t worry, I will work hard," Gu Xiaoxi promised. Now that she had found a clue, she would definitely pursue it vigorously.

Moreover, she was becoming more and more eager to gain even greater strength.

"Hearing you say that puts my mind at ease," Quan Shaoqing said, reaching out to pat her head, his eyes filled with tenderness.

Gu Xiaoxi brushed his hand away and then picked up the crabs and snacks he had given her, getting ready to get out of the car.

Quan Shaoqing watched her leave without any reluctance, feeling a deep sense of melancholy within him, as if he had drunk a vat of vinegar, his stomach sour with it. Now he had no reason to make her stay and spend more time with him.

As Gu Xiaoxi was about to open the car door, she stopped, turned back, and smiled at Quan Shaoqing, "Thanks for your trouble. I can give you a reward."

Quan Shaoqing pursed his lips, pondering what reward she could possibly give him. Thus, he waved his hand, "No thanks are needed, just go on! Work hard, that would make my effort worthwhile."

Lin Mi hurriedly looked back at Gu Xiaoxi, trying to speak up for Quan Shaoqing, "The superior officer is still wounded, and he’s been running around for you the whole day, must be exhausting."

Gu Xiaoxi smiled and nodded, "I understand!"

Suddenly she sat close to Quan Shaoqing again, tiptoed, and pecked his cheek. "That’s your reward. Now, I’m off."

As she spoke, she didn’t mind Quan Shaoqing’s instantly blushing ears, grabbed the food, and then ran off cheerfully.

In the car, Lin Mi was gaping in surprise.

What a generous reward!

When he turned, sure enough, he saw Quan Shaoqing staring blankly at Gu Xiaoxi’s retreating figure, looking a bit lost.

Lin Mi, a worried frown on his face, thought to himself that the superior officer might really be bewitched.

Did Gu Xiaoxi, that demoness, not realize that you can’t just kiss men willy-nilly? If it causes problems, she would have to take responsibility.

Quan Shaoqing dazedly reached out to touch his face. This girl was getting too bold.

However, he felt that he was growing fonder and fonder of her innocent ways.
