Chapter 40: 040: I will take good care of you.

Don’t think that just because she is Li Yan’s person, he will take special care of her. In the Academy, there is no concept of special treatment; everyone is equal.

"Report, I believe there is an issue with the instructor’s command. The signal I received is different from the instructor’s command, so I hold some doubt."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone gasped. This female trainee has a lot of guts, daring to question Instructor Lan Siming... Is she tired of living...

"Oh?" Lan Siming’s smile only grew broader as he said, "Where is my command wrong? Let’s hear it!"

No wonder she is Li Yan’s person; she indeed has some courage. However, courage alone is not enough; he never appreciated those with courage but no strategy.

"Instructor Lan’s command was to prepare for ten minutes with weights. I completed the weighted preparation within ten minutes but did not receive an order from Instructor Lan to rejoin the team. So I stayed in place waiting. Now I dare to ask Instructor Lan, should I rejoin the team after preparing with weights, or wait in place for further orders?"

Gu Tong is a master of wordplay, and others are still too inexperienced to win in a war of words with her.

Lan Siming, both amused and annoyed, said, "According to you, does that mean my commanding was in error?"

"I didn’t mean that. But on the battlefield, the commands from the commander must be clear and precise. I am a new trainee and do not understand the deeper meaning of orders, so I can only follow the literal instruction."

Gu Tong did not respond directly but subtly admitted, leaving no room for fault.

If she admitted to being ignorant, isn’t that too unreasonable?

Good! As expected of Li Yan’s person, her smooth tongue indeed is formidable.

Lan Siming chuckled softly and said, "According to you, I cannot punish you, and I should reflect on why the command issued was not precise?"

"If Instructor Lan wants to misinterpret my words, I have no choice... But historically speaking, those who died unjustly often did so because of out-of-context interpretations..."

Who exactly is taking things out of context...

This little girl is truly an unreasonable little troublemaker.

"Everyone stop!" Lan Siming waved a hand to stop the new trainees who were doing push-ups and said, "Someone raised an issue with my command, so this time, I won’t punish you, but if the same situation arises again, the penalties will be doubled!"

"Yes." The new trainees breathed a sigh of relief. There was still weight training to come, and they needed to conserve as much energy as possible; otherwise, they might not be able to handle it.

They should be grateful to Gu Tong; if she hadn’t argued with Instructor Lan, they wouldn’t have been this lucky.

However... she confronted Instructor Lan Siming in front of everyone. The days ahead might not be smooth for her...

Lan Siming approached Gu Tong and softly said with a smile, "If new trainees cannot understand commands, how can I feel assured? Rest assured, in the days to come, I will take good care of you and ensure you clearly understand every command from the instructor. That way, the same error will never occur again."

This is a blatant threat, isn’t it...

"Thank you, Instructor Lan." Gu Tong replied indifferently, clearly unfazed by the situation.

Lan Siming’s gaze deepened, filled with exploratory intent as he looked at Gu Tong. Being one of Li Yan’s people, she surely isn’t a simple existence. Perhaps she possesses some special capabilities, otherwise, Li Yan wouldn’t take special care of her. His goodwill has indeed inflated!
