"Looks like you're still not willing to be honest."
Leng Xingwen stared at Qin Yi and said indifferently.
Qin Yi said, "Marshal Leng, Qin Mo may have joined the military, but that doesn't mean Qin Mo has to stand before everyone without any secrets. If the military really wants to get to the bottom of this, then Qin Mo will have to accept it. "
Leng Xingwen stared at Qin Yi for a long time. Finally, he sighed and said, "Forget it. I'm only asking you this personally. If you don't want to answer, I won't force you. As for the loss of soldiers, I will inform the others that you were attacked on your way back. Not only did it delay you, but the casualties were also great. When you go back, tell your friends about this. If you're investigated, you'll be able to get away with it. "
Qin Yi nodded slightly. After a moment of silence, he said, "Thank you."
Leng Xingwen waved his hand and said, "You don't have to thank me. I was the one who recruited you into the military. Although I value your abilities, sometimes I forget that you're still a martial artist who does whatever you want. This is my responsibility, and I should take responsibility for it. What's more, you didn't harm the military's core interests by doing this. I don't think the military will make a big deal out of this. However, I'm telling you this because I want to remind you of something. After all, you're not just an ordinary martial artist now. Sometimes, you have to consider the consequences of your actions before you speak or do anything. "
Qin Yi smiled faintly and didn't comment. If he was given another chance to choose, he would still choose to do so. But before he did this, he would consider separating himself from the military.
"This matter is over. Next, we should talk about something else."
Leng Xingwen took out a token from his pocket and said, "This is your reward. From now on, you're a five-star general of Jade Willow Country's military."
Qin Yi glanced at the token in Leng Xingwen's hand, thanked him, and put it into his storage ring. To be honest, he did not have much interest in the military title. Whether his military rank was high or not didn't mean much to him.
All he wanted was to use the power of the military to get rid of Huang Chengji and avenge the deaths of his comrades in the Yunhai Empire.
"Qin Yi, you have indeed completed the mission well!"
Speaking of this, a smile finally appeared on Leng Xingwen's face. "In this operation, we have already cut off all three of the Silver Snow Empire's invasion routes. Silver Snow Country couldn't hold on for much longer. Recently, they had already started to send envoys to Jade Willow Country to negotiate. This was the prelude to admitting defeat. The war should be over soon. All of this has a lot to do with you. I've said it before. Your role is to hasten the end of the war. Now, the facts have proven this point. "
Qin Yi raised his head and looked at Leng Xingwen. He suddenly asked, "I want to know how Huang Chengji is doing."
The smile on Leng Xingwen's face deepened at the mention of Huang Chengji. "Huang Chengji used a secret technique to escape. Halfway through, his injuries were too severe and he couldn't move forward. In the end, he could only call for help and get the soldiers of Silver Snow Country to send him back. It's said that he was severely injured this time. It's been half a month and he still hasn't fully recovered. Moreover, his failure has angered the higher-ups of Silver Snow Country. Give the order to ground him for two months! "
Leng Xingwen was in a good mood at the mention of this. He and Huang Chengji could be considered old rivals. He knew how terrifying this fellow was on the battlefield.
Now that the war was nearing its end, he was still grounded. In other words, they would not see Huang Chengji's shadow for two months on the battlefield that was coming to an end. To him, this was undoubtedly good news!
However, after hearing about this, Qin Yi's heart didn't fluctuate much. He was even a little disappointed.
Obviously, Huang Chengji was seriously injured. If he could take this opportunity to get rid of the other party, that would be for the best.
The higher-ups of Silver Snow Country issued such an order. From a certain perspective, wasn't it protecting Huang Chengji?
When the other party came out of the grounding punishment, he would still be a complete person. In addition, he suffered at the hands of Qin Yi the last time. He would definitely take note of this next time. He would become even more difficult to deal with!
"Qin Yi, I know what you're thinking now."
Leng Xingwen looked at Qin Yi and said calmly, "But this is a war between two countries. The other party is a person who could change the situation of the battlefield. It's understandable that he's being protected. The only thing you need to do now is to raise your strength as soon as possible. Only then will you have the strength to fight when you face him who's even more dangerous! "
Qin Yi nodded slightly and said, "I understand!"
"That's good."
Leng Xingwen nodded and then stood up. "It's getting late. I know that the Brushing Willow Sect is going to hold the disciple test soon. There's less than a month and a half left. Hurry up and go back to prepare. "
Qin Yi also stood up. After saying goodbye, he turned and walked out of the hall.
After leaving, Qin Yi quickly found Wen Xing, Yun Die 'er, and the others.
When he asked Fang Lei and Ning Qiancheng if they wanted to return to the Brushing Willow Sect with them, he received an answer he expected. The two of them now regarded themselves as members of the military. After completing this mission, they would return to the frontlines and continue fighting against Silver Snow Country.
Qin Yi knew that they wanted to vent their anger over Huang Chengji's escape in the Northern Yuan Empire. Thus, he didn't stop them.
After a simple explanation, the group stepped onto the transportation formation and disappeared in a flash.
… …
After a series of twists and turns, Qin Yi and Yun Die 'er finally returned to the Brushing Willow Sect.
They first went to inform Chu Zhenghao that they were safe, then returned to their respective training grounds.
"There's less than ten days left until the disciple test."
Ever since his conversation with Chu Zhenghao, he already knew how important this test was to him! Thus, he knew that he had to give it his all. "My current strength is not bad. But my opponents are the direct disciples. I think I need to strengthen myself! "
To be able to become a direct disciple, one's strength and talent had to be recognized. Furthermore, there were a lot of resources gathered on these direct disciples. Their strength was not to be underestimated.
