Chapter 283: Chapter 63 A Young Boy

Gu Xiaoxi let out a cold laugh, "What do I want to do? I should be the one asking you that!"

"Stop beating around the bush, what are you trying to say exactly?" Zhang Jingyue clenched her fingers, her complexion paling slightly as if she had a premonition Gu Xiaoxi would not have anything good to say. Still, she asked with anger.

"I’m just giving you one warning. Stop thinking about plotting against me from behind. As for the matter concerning Liu Wenxing, explain it to your superiors yourself. Otherwise, I’ll take Liu Wenxing’s confession to the superior officer. I think he will be very interested in these matters." Gu Xiaoxi straightened her clothes, glanced coldly at Zhang Jingyue, then walked toward the exit.

Zhang Jingyue was still stunned in place, her mind in turmoil, Gu Xiaoxi knew about her and Liu Wenxing’s affair?

No! How could she know?

"Gu Xiaoxi, make yourself clear, how do you know about this?" Zhang Jingyue lunged forward, grasping Gu Xiaoxi, and in that instant, she felt like killing her.

But she knew she couldn’t beat her.

"How I know is not important. What’s important is that I have your dirt. If you report this to your superiors and mend your ways henceforth, I won’t hold you accountable. If you don’t, I think I’d rather expose you myself." Gu Xiaoxi snorted coldly, pushed her hand away mercilessly, and strode away.

Zhang Jingyue, for her own sake, disregarded others and was even willing to sacrifice a military dog, just to prevent her from competing.

She could give her the opportunity to admit her fault proactively, to reform and consider the matter as having never happened.

If she persisted in her stubbornness and refused to change, sorry, but she would show no mercy.

Zhang Jingyue watched Gu Xiaoxi’s retreating figure, shaking all over with fury, she felt threatened.

Admit her mistake herself? Where would she put her face?

No! She would not do it.

Gu Xiaoxi must be bluffing, how could she possibly have evidence proving she instructed Liu Wenxing to target her?

Zhang Jingyue came out of the bathroom with a deathly pale face.

Over there, Yeh Bai and Qin Zhu had already downed several bottles of beer.

Upon seeing her emerge, Qin Zhu immediately walked up and asked, "Are you okay?"

At the same time, he casted a disapproving glance at Gu Xiaoxi.

Gu Xiaoxi and Yun Xiao were sitting there, eating their meal and outright ignoring them.

Zhang Jingyue shook her head at Qin Zhu, not in the mood to eat anymore.

She hastily grabbed her belongings and left.

Until she left the restaurant, Zhang Jingyue still couldn’t be certain whether Gu Xiaoxi really had something on her.

She thought she had to find Liu Wenxing and get to the bottom of it.

At the table, Gu Xiaoxi casually ate enough to fill her stomach.

She planned to take Xiao Xiao hunting that night and give it a feast as today it had performed very well and deserved a reward.

So she said to Yeh Bai, "I’m full, and I have things to take care of tonight. You guys enjoy your meal."

"Leaving so soon?" Yeh Bai stood up, "Hey, it’s so rare to find someone to talk to, and you’re leaving before we’ve barely started eating."

"If you haven’t had enough, continue eating. I truly have something to take care of!" Gu Xiaoxi looked at Yun Xiao and said, "You keep him company! After you finish, don’t wait for me, head back first. Check if Aunt Lin has any instructions for me and let me know when I return tonight."

Yun Xiao knew what Gu Xiaoxi was up to and nodded, "Then be careful."

Gu Xiaoxi took Xiao Xiao and left the command center, heading into the deep forest.

Xiao Xiao had its own habit of hunting, so it had a special passion for meat.

She took it hunting as a reward and to let it eat its fill so that it wouldn’t covet someone else’s food in the future.

While hunting, Gu Xiaoxi also took the time to teach Xiao Xiao.

"To be human, you must have integrity; to be a dog, you need even more. Never eat what others give you, do you understand?"

"If you dare to disobey orders again, I will confine you. You will be punished with no food for three days!"

Xiao Xiao lifted its head and glanced at Gu Xiaoxi, its eyes in the darkness glistening as if acknowledging its mistake.

Gu Xiaoxi reached out to pat its head and gave it a gentle hug. She hadn’t been with Xiao Xiao for long, and although it could be mischievous at times, causing her considerable frustration,

seeing it looking so contrite, she couldn’t help but soften.

"As long as you behave, I’ll always treat you well," Gu Xiaoxi released Xiao Xiao from its leash, allowing it to hunt on its own.

She only helped when it struggled to catch prey.

In these mountains, the animals Xiao Xiao ate most were wild chickens, hares, and fish from the streams.

Watching Xiao Xiao scurry away, Gu Xiaoxi leaped onto a tree, ready to test how much her cultivation had progressed over this period.

However, what she didn’t know was that behind the very tree she stood on, someone hid in the darkness, watching her every move. From the moment she entered the forest, her entire conversation with Xiao Xiao had been overheard clearly.

The man found the air of purity around this woman captivating. Beneath the moonlight, she perched on a tree branch, tall with tousled hair, exuding an indescribable sensual beauty.

Her movement onto the tree branch was as graceful as a swallow, clearly indicating she was no ordinary person. Her agility alone was astonishing.

Gu Xiaoxi stretched out her hands, ready to gather her energy and release her spiritual power when she suddenly heard a faint breathing behind her. Had she not been extremely sensitive, she wouldn’t have noticed such a subtle sound.

She turned around to find that the person was right behind her, perched on a tree branch just like her.

Without a second thought, Gu Xiaoxi whirled around and leapt towards the person in attack.

The man in the dark reacted swiftly. As Gu Xiaoxi’s palm nearly touched him, he retreated, flipping down the tree.

Gu Xiaoxi gave him no chance to breathe, flipping down from the branch herself to pursue him.

The two exchanged blows in mid-air before landing on the ground.

Because it was too dark in the forest, she couldn’t see the man’s face, but she sensed a dangerous aura.

At that moment, she couldn’t afford to think too much.

She struck swiftly, clashing with him for three exchanges in an instant. Just as she gathered her Inner Strength to deliver a heavy blow, he retreated rapidly, so fast that she couldn’t even grab a piece of his clothing.

"Who are you? Why were you hiding behind me!" Gu Xiaoxi, seeing his incredible speed, didn’t pursue him but stood at a distance, calling out to a dark wooden pile nearby.

"That’s my line. You just barged into my territory. Who are you?"

It was a young man’s voice. From his tone, it was clear he was not very old, his voice carried a youthful timbre mixed with huskiness.

"Your territory? This is national territory. Since when did it become yours?" Gu Xiaoxi walked out of the shadows cautiously, eyeing the young man.

A moment later, the young man stepped out of the darkness and stood on a small rock not far from Gu Xiaoxi.

Only then could she clearly see his features.

Around eighteen years old, wearing a military uniform, about 180 cm tall and slightly thin; his face carried the freshness of youth, with a voice somewhat cold and features refined. His eyes were bright and defiant, with an audacity seen in his brows.

However, when he countered her, he seemed somewhat shy, "I’m often here. You suddenly intrude and then blame me."

Gu Xiaoxi burst into laughter, her hands crossed over her chest, her tone easing slightly, "So young and already a soldier, I’m curious to know how long you’ve claimed this place as your turf."

"Who are you calling young? I’m already nineteen, and I’ve held this ground for over a year," the young man retorted indignantly, his face turning red with exertion.

Gu Xiaoxi smiled, "You’re very fast, but your skills are lacking. Little brother, can you tell me, are you using Qinggong?"

Because he was more than three times faster than her.

Given that her Inner Strength had increased and her speed and reflexes had improved a lot,

she seemed inferior by quite a margin. Therefore, she was astounded by his skills.

"Who’s little brother? You’re not that much older than me. I wouldn’t stoop to using something as vulgar as Qinggong. And you, you’re not that impressive yet you dare to criticize my skills?" The young man was clearly angered, and with his words, he pounced toward Gu Xiaoxi.

Because of the darkness, Gu Xiaoxi couldn’t quite make out how he did it, but in the blink of an eye, his figure charged towards her.

Gu Xiaoxi was taken aback, inwardly exclaiming at his incredible speed.

Without time to think, she rapidly channeled her Inner Strength to block the punches coming her way.
