Chapter 194: Chapter 127 A Romantic Person, A Romantic Thing

Gu Xiaoxi didn’t hold anything back, teaching everything that should be taught, and how much they learned depended entirely on their own abilities.

An afternoon passed very quickly, with everyone so captivated by Gu Xiaoxi’s lecture that they were reluctant to leave even when the class ended.

Because of the software provided by Xu Jingshen, Gu Xiaoxi postponed the end of the class. By the time everything was wrapped up, it was already six in the evening.

When Gu Xiaoxi left the lecture hall, she felt somewhat tired.

Quan Shaoqing should be back soon.

After the class, she declined Xu Jingshen’s invitation and went straight home.

As she pushed open the door, Quan Shaoqing was already there.

The table was set with dishes, and he was sitting on the sofa smoking. Seeing her return, he immediately stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray beside him.

"You should eat now, I’ve already eaten." All the dishes on the table were delicacies he had sent over from City A especially for her.

Walking up to the table, Gu Xiaoxi bent down to smell the enticing spicy shrimp, which instantly made her salivate.

"You’ve been gone for three days, how’s your condition?" Gu Xiaoxi asked as she ate.

A shadow of gravity flickered across Quan Shaoqing’s face, but after a moment, he returned to his usual demeanor, "No big deal, probably just some lingering effects of past injuries. It’s under control now."

Gu Xiaoxi paused in eating and looked up at his face.

Under the light, his chiseled features were healthy and rosy, not showing any signs of illness.

Thus, she turned her gaze back to her food and said, "The day after tomorrow, I’m taking three days off to go back to Luocheng. I’m staying at home for three days."

"Is that the leave you mentioned before?" Quan Shaoqing asked casually, but a glint of something deeper flashed in his eyes.

Gu Xiaoxi nodded, behaving as if it were no big deal.

Given Quan Shaoqing’s previous attitude, he definitely opposed her going to the Gu Family, but she had to make the trip this time.

This time, she had contributed to the troops, so taking three days off was acceptable.

Future training might become even more intense, and she couldn’t neglect her cultivation either. Zhao Zilong was watching her like a tiger stalking its prey, and she had to get to the bottom of her mother’s death.

No matter who was behind it, even if it was Gu Lirou’s biological sister, she wasn’t prepared to let her off.

Her mother was the most important person in her life, and she would never allow her to die in vain.

"If you’re going to Luoli City, that’s fine. I’ll send someone to take you there then accompany you back," Quan Shaoqing said, looking at Gu Xiaoxi, hoping to detect something of the ordinary from her demeanor.

Instead, Gu Xiaoxi lifted her head and gave him a radiant smile, casually saying, "Alright! It’s my honor to have a private jet at my disposal."

Her expression did not change, which only made him more curious and distrustful. Would she really be obedient?

"I’m warning you, don’t ever go to the Gu Family. If they show their hand, sooner or later, I’ll take them all down at once. Then any hatred will naturally reveal itself," Quan Shaoqing said, not missing a single flicker of her expression with his profound gaze.

Gu Xiaoxi continued eating, nodding with a serene indifference.

"I know!"

She knew, but that didn’t mean she would act according to his methods.

Sitting passively was not her style.

Her mother was dead, letting the enemy go unpunished, waiting another ten or twenty years to get revenge!

She couldn’t do that.

After dinner, Quan Shaoqing said he would take her to a place.

Gu Xiaoxi was curious. What interesting place could there be in Z section?

It was evening again, approaching seven o’clock, when moonlight had already filled the land, and the weather had started to cool.

Even in a thin coat, it would still be cold.

This time upon his return, Quan Shaoqing had bought her many new clothes.

Jeans, light shirts, she was naturally beautiful; a little dressing up and she became so dazzling that it was difficult to look at her directly.

The car drove out and finally stopped on a small hillside. The road was lined with wild chrysanthemums, their brilliant golden petals swaying in the breeze.

The wind carried a cool and slightly bitter fragrance, something unique to chrysanthemums, with a charm all its own.

Gu Xiaoxi popped two pieces of gum into her mouth, then hopped out of the car and stood at the roadside, looking into the distance. A mile of flower ocean, chrysanthemums in bloom, had turned the earth gold.

"I can’t believe the military has such a place! It’s so beautiful!" exclaimed Gu Xiaoxi in amazement.

Quan Shaoqing chuckled and draped a coat over her, "This is called Lover’s Valley. There are chrysanthemums in autumn, red plums covering the mountains in winter, a mile of roses in spring, and lavender in summer!"

He explained to her.

Hearing this, Gu Xiaoxi frowned slightly, "Lover’s Valley? I see flowers everywhere. What does this have to do with lovers?"

"Of course, it does!" Quan Shaoqing helped Gu Xiaoxi straighten her coat, then put an arm around her shoulder, and the two walked along the path into the sea of chrysanthemums.

"These were planted by one of my predecessors. Soldiers dedicate their youth to the nation; they have no time for romance or to accompany their family. This place was specially created for lovers. Whenever military officers and soldiers have their lovers visit the base, they would bring them here, to walk through this sea of flowers together. Consider it a reward from the nation to those soldiers who have been loyal to their country."

Gu Xiaoxi nodded in understanding as she listened.

Unconsciously, they had drawn so close that even in the cool evening, she couldn’t feel the slightest cold.

"I didn’t expect your predecessor to be such a romantic, to do such a romantic thing," she thought. A commander who could turn barren land into a sea of flowers must certainly have love in his heart.

Quan Shaoqing smiled, his usually stern face softened at this moment, "Yes, he was a romantic. And he had a loved one he cared for deeply. It’s just..."

This world has never been short of tragedies.

"He died?" Gu Xiaoxi turned her head to ask Quan Shaoqing.

"Yes," Quan Shaoqing nodded, his gaze in the night as dark as Hell’s Abyss, "The thin Spiritual Energy of the earth has caused those naturally born with a Spirit Root to grow stronger. And these individuals with Spirit Roots have been unearthed and nurtured by various criminal organizations, leading to most of the truly capable ones aligning themselves with these factions. As a result, criminals are particularly rampant nowadays."

Gu Xiaoxi was shocked to her core!

Indeed, what she was learning, others had already mastered.

Although there were few like her possessing a Spirit Root.

She was just starting, while they were already experts.

Quan Shaoqing gently wrapped his arm around Gu Xiaoxi’s shoulder, pulling her a little closer into his embrace before speaking calmly, "Not only those with Inner Strength and Spiritual Energy, but there are also people with a Special Ability that is awakening."

"Special Ability?" Gu Xiaoxi paused mid-step, looking up into Quan Shaoqing’s eyes.

Quan Shaoqing nodded, reaching out to gently tousle her hair, "Yes, Special Ability! In M country, there’s a small team of individuals with Special Abilities. Only seven people strong, but they have executed countless missions for Mr. President. They can even take on an entire army."

"In Y country, the Royal Guards who have Special Abilities number only two, yet they have ensured the king’s safety for twenty years."
