Qiao Hezhi also pressed down on the other side, while Liu Dawu grabbed Feng Mingjie by the back of the neck.
"Really? We don't believe it."
"Really, really, I'll treat you to a meal by the imperial chef when we get back, okay?"
Three meals.
"make a deal."
...
Listening to the lively conversation behind him, Ruan Mingchu felt a pang of emotion. It seemed the captains of the guard team, who had grown up together, also had such a close bond; this must be what they called brotherhood.
He looked at Mu Yu beside him, and Mu Yu also turned to look at him.
Ruan Mingchu smiled at Mu Yu, "Brother, he has one too!"
Mu Yu's heart pounded violently a few times.
Mu Yu clenched his fist and then relaxed it, secretly taking out a tissue from his pocket and wiping the sweat from his palms.
She raised her hand and carefully patted Ruan Mingchu's hair.
The movement was so gentle that Ruan Mingchu thought it was a light breeze.
Ruan Mingchu turned to look at Mu Yu: "What's wrong?"
Hmm... why did you suddenly touch him?
Mu Yu pursed his lips and remained silent, his expression conflicted. It wasn't until he stepped onto the opposite warship that Ruan Mingchu heard his barely audible voice:
You looked a little forlorn just now.

Ruan Mingchu: Rejecting Superstition
35. Colorful and vibrant, refusing to work for free!
So you're comforting yourself?
A warm feeling flowed through Ruan Mingchu's heart.
If I were to say I care a lot, then no, but occasionally a slight sense of disappointment would flash through my mind.
From childhood to adulthood, his growth was like a rocket launch. Consequently, all his time was devoted to "growing," leaving no room for anyone else, and naturally, no one stayed by his side.
This is the first time in more than half a year that he has lived a life with such a slow pace.
Many thoughts came to mind, but only in a fleeting moment.
Ruan Mingchu laughed heartily, tiptoed and ruffled Mu Yu's hair, then quickly slipped away while Mu Yu was still in a daze.
Mu Yu paused for a moment, then continued to chase after him.
Qiao Du is arrogant, yet he has survived to this day. He has the right to be arrogant; his strength is so great that those who want to kill him have failed.
But the men in Nguyen Minh Thu's army were no pushovers either. Their talents were limited, and their life's potential was fixed; Governor Chiao could probably kill one of them with a single finger.
When ten people come together, they complement and encourage each other, working in perfect harmony as if they were one person, yet the power they exert far exceeds the sum of the power of ten individuals alone.
Qiao Du became increasingly agitated and his attacks became more and more ruthless. They were clearly just a bunch of small insects, but instead of obediently dying, they gathered together in an attempt to shake the mountain.
Qiao Du gave up resistance, sacrificing an arm to break the ten-man alliance. The warrior Qiao Du had targeted was in imminent danger.
The other nine people were too late to come to the rescue. Just then, Mu Yu flew over and attacked Qiao Du's face, forcing him to defend himself for the sake of his own life.
The two fought, and the group of ten surrounded them, but they were unable to intervene to help due to their lack of strength.
Ruan Mingchu glanced at Huang Songhan: "What are you still standing there for?"
Huang Songhan blinked and thought for a while before understanding Ruan Mingchu's meaning.
"Hehe, you want me to help him? Please—"
Ruan Mingchu didn't want to listen to his nonsense, so she kicked him into the battle between Qiao Du and Mu Yu, making it difficult for Huang Songhan to escape.
The trio shuddered in unison. Wow, that was violent!
He looks so damn handsome!
Imagining myself kicking Huang Songhan away, I instantly felt a surge of excitement.
After staying at the scene for a while, seeing that Mu Yu and Huang Songhan's cooperation was becoming more and more skillful and there would be no problems, Ruan Mingchu turned around and went to visit his prisoners.
Ruan Mingchu was very pleased with their self-awareness; they had all voluntarily put on the handcuffs. What else could he say?
They randomly selected a few samples, hooked their fingers around the handcuffs and tugged on them to confirm that there were no quality issues.
"Alright, find a room and stay there quietly. Someone will take you there once you land."
The prisoners nodded obediently.
The captain stammered, "Lord Joe..."
Although he betrayed the alliance, he still dared not call Joe Du by his name, which shows how terrifying Joe Du's image was in everyone's mind.
Ruan Mingchu chuckled: "Don't worry, he can't run away, and he won't keep you company."
Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The worst-case scenario is that if they surrender and save their lives, then if Governor Qiao is arrested and imprisoned with them, they'll probably suffer an even worse fate than if they died now.
Ruan Minh Thu watched as the prisoners lined up to enter the same room, lit incense for them to sleep, and they all fell asleep.
It has to be said that ever since he saw Shen Huanli use drugs to incapacitate those people, he has discovered a new world.
This thing is sometimes so convenient.
As soon as he closed the door, his military communicator rang.
Ruan Mingchu calmly walked to the viewing window before answering the call.
A half-body image of Rong Zhiming popped up on the communicator. His hair was all messed up from scratching, which showed how irritable he was.
As soon as the call connected, Rong Zhiming started yelling, "Your Highness, Ancestor, what exactly are you trying to do? We clearly had an agreement!"
The jarring noise reached her ears, and Ruan Mingchu frowned: "It's too noisy."
Rong Zhiming had no choice but to shut his mouth, but his stubborn eyes showed his indomitable spirit!
"Don't worry," Ruan Mingchu said briefly, "I will definitely make sure you take down the alliance's stronghold."
"No, I'm not doing this for the credit," Rong Zhiming's mood instantly improved, and he spoke in a smooth-talking manner, "I'm just worried about your safety."
“Oh, then I think that Huang family kid is not bad,” Ruan Mingchu said casually.
Rong Zhiming immediately sat up straight and pointed to the epaulette with only one star on his shoulder. "It's better to tear down ten temples than to break up one marriage. Xingxing has been lonely for more than ten years and wants a companion."
“Oh,” Ruan Mingchu said, “but I remember someone saying that a partner only affects the speed at which he draws his sword.”
"Really? Who's so clueless? Saying that will get you beaten up. My fists are already hard." He's so ruthless he even mocks himself; that's how thick-skinned he is.
Nguyen Minh Thu responded to him with a sneer.
"Alright, the warship will arrive at District 48 on time according to the league's plan. Have your people ready."
The first half of the sentence means that Rong Zhiming's infiltration plan has been scrapped, and the military academy students can continue to compete as usual. The second half of the sentence, however, tells Rong Zhiming to prepare to launch an expedition to raid the enemy's stronghold.
Rong Zhiming immediately beamed with joy: "Alright, don't worry about me handling things."
After the communication ended, Ruan Mingchu stared at the scattered lights outside the window, remaining motionless for a long time.
Rong Zhiming seems shameless and only wants to climb the social ladder, and his actions reflect this, but Ruan Mingchu can't see any worldly desires in him, which is strange.
Judging that it was about time, Ruan Mingchu went to find Mu Yu. He didn't intend for Mu Yu and Huang Songhan to take down Qiao Du, after all, even with a "-" sign, he was still an S-rank.
However, when he arrived there, he discovered that Qiao Du was seriously injured and captured, while Mu Yu had already been sent to the medical pod.
Ruan Mingchu regretted not using his mental energy to monitor the area; otherwise, Mu Yu would never have been seriously injured.
Looking at Huang Songhan, who had only scraped his skin and bled a few drops, Ruan Mingchu felt a little dissatisfied. Mu Yu had been sent to the medical pod, but Huang Songhan was still alive and kicking, howling over such a small cut.
Noticing Ruan Mingchu's unfriendly gaze, Huang Songhan shut his mouth.
Half an hour later, Mu Yu climbed out of the medical pod, his face beaming with joy.
Ruan Mingchu poked his forehead: "You're so happy even though you're injured?"
Mu Yu rubbed his forehead and glared at Ruan Mingchu. Of course, he wasn't happy about being injured. "I advanced."
Of course I'm happy because I advanced!
She was happy because she was closer to him, but of course, even Mu Yu herself didn't realize this little secret, and Ruan Mingchu naturally had no way of knowing it either.
Reflecting on his own strength, he realized it was all earned through blood and fire. Advancing in battle and breaking through on the verge of death were Ruan Mingchu's favorite and most admired methods of advancement.
But when it came to Mu Yu, he found himself somewhat reluctant to part with him.
Suppressing these inappropriate thoughts, Ruan Mingchu smiled and said, "Then it seems our league first place is even more secure."
Mu Yu nodded as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
Huang Songhan was displeased upon hearing this, "Di Yi is forever number one!"
However, they did not receive any response from Nguyen Minh Thu or Mu Yu.
Huang Songhan: Hetui! Male-male sleptomania!
As the military academy cadets gradually arrived at the 48th border district, news about this year's league also appeared online.
The organizers referred to the quiet competition of the past few days as the secret group stage, and not only announced the upcoming competition format, but also announced that the entire competition would be broadcast live.
There are 23 groups, and each group has its own dedicated live streaming room.
This league will not only determine the final winning team, but also allow netizens to vote for the most popular regiment, the most popular school team, and the most popular military academy student.
Immediately, there was a lot of discussion online.
Li Bingchang, who was left on Satellite 10, was overjoyed after learning that Ruan Minhchu had been successfully elected as the leader of the regiment. He not only called back to the Comprehensive Military University to share his joy, but also gathered the tour group on Satellite 10, rented a large villa, and prepared for everyone to watch the live broadcast together.
Li Bingcang even planned to record the entire event live to pass on these valuable resources, which might be the most glorious moment in the history of the comprehensive military academy.
Almost none of the members of the tour group came from powerful families, and they all knew some inside information about the trip.
