Chapter 536: Chapter 344: Heart Towards the Light (8)

Li Ruanyu stared at Zhao Chi.

She waited for him to state his third request.

Zhao Chi was a little embarrassed.

"Besides me, Instructor, could you transfer one more person over?"

Li Ruanyu was surprised. "Transfer someone? It’s possible, but I don’t usually transfer people to my team casually... Still... who do you want to transfer?"

"There’s a Town Lord in our family named Su Qin. Is it possible to transfer her over as well?"

"Su Qin? Why does that name sound so familiar? Is she that female student from Class 7?"

Zhao Chi nodded. "Yes. She’s a year ahead of me."

Li Ruanyu smiled. "I remember now. The icy little beauty who gives everyone the cold shoulder, right?"

Huh?

Zhao Chi was a bit confused.

Su Qin was a little beauty, that was true, but how was she icy?

And she gave everyone the cold shoulder?

That wasn’t right at all, was it?

Zhao Chi felt Su Qin was very enthusiastic.

Every time he went to see her, she would talk endlessly—even more than Tang Ruan.

’Maybe she’s only like that with me?’

Li Ruanyu shook her head. "No, that won’t work. Su Qin is Captain Pang’s student. I expect Captain Pang will want to transfer her."

"Captain Pang?"

"Yes, Instructor Pang. One of the instructors who taught you Bow Skill."

"He wants to transfer Su Qin?"

"That’s right. Everyone’s fighting over people right now. After all, reinforcements are important, and we’ve personally taught you, so we know each other well. If we were to recruit a complete newcomer, we’d have to teach them everything from scratch and build a relationship, which takes more effort. With ready-made candidates available, of course everyone is fighting to get them."

Zhao Chi nodded. "If Su Qin doesn’t agree to join Instructor Pang, can she be transferred here?"

Li Ruanyu was puzzled. "Why? Su Qin shouldn’t refuse, right? If she can come to my team, I’d certainly be willing. I taught her Sewing, after all, so she has the basics. I’m just worried Instructor Pang will complain about me."

Zhao Chi said, "She’s already my woman. She’ll agree to come with me."

"What do you mean? Have you made her your vassal?"

"Yes. She’s my Vassal Lord, and also my concubine."

"What!?"

Li Ruanyu shrieked.

"Wh... what’s wrong?"

Li Ruanyu wore an expression of disbelief. "You brat... you didn’t force her, did you?"

Zhao Chi was speechless. "Of course it was consensual! Instructor Li, why do you always think like that? First, you thought I was trying to flee to escape punishment, and now you suspect I forced Su Qin..."

Li Ruanyu continued to frown, staring at Zhao Chi.

"You’re only 20, you brat?"

"Yes, I’m 20, she’s 21. We’re old enough to start a family."

"Hmm..." Li Ruanyu crossed her arms.

She crossed her legs.

She tilted her head and looked at Zhao Chi.

"You brat, you’ve got some skills..."

Zhao Chi didn’t know what she meant, so he didn’t dare reply.

Li Ruanyu looked Zhao Chi up and down several more times.

Then she said, "If Su Qin is already your concubine and your vassal, then of course it’s not a problem. And I don’t even need to transfer her; she can follow you to my side directly. After all, her allegiance is to you, so you get to decide."

"That’s great..."

Li Ruanyu looked at him playfully. "No wonder you didn’t want teammates. It turns out you already have a Town Lord as a teammate. Now I get it... And this way, Instructor Pang can’t say a thing. All three of your requests can be met. Do you have any others?"

Zhao Chi shook his head. "No more."

"Good. Then I’ll have you transferred over."

"Okay."

Their business was concluded.

They both stood up.

But Zhao Chi suddenly asked, "Instructor Li, what’s our current situation? We wiped out an entire squadron of the Alien Race. Won’t they come for revenge?"

Li Ruanyu smiled and sat back down. "Then let me give you a simple briefing."

From the look of it, this wouldn’t be over in a sentence or two.

Zhao Chi sat down as well. "Thank you, Instructor Li."

Li Ruanyu shook her head.

"It’s nothing, no need to thank me. You should know more about this anyway.

"It’s been about 20 days since the war broke out. The nobles have all retreated to Central Zone 9. Everyone knows this.

"Central Zone 9 is the nobles’ main stronghold. The Alien Race has now occupied three of the zones, and the nobles are trapped, holding out in the remaining six.

"Each zone in Central Zone 9 has an Array. These are the highest-authority Arrays in our Snowfield City, second only to the City Array itself.

"On top of that, the nobles’ foundations are incredibly deep, so the Alien Race has been unable to bite into the remaining six zones.

"The Alien Race used the Power of the three Arrays they control to pour massive numbers of Magical Beasts into the nobles’ six zones, but the nobles managed to divert and deal with them all.

"The nobles’ situation is certainly not good, but they can hold on in the short term, and even for a relatively long time.

"They’re even constantly looking for opportunities to break through, which ties down a large portion of the Alien Race’s combat forces.

"Both sides are locked in a battle of attrition.

"Now it’s just a matter of seeing who gives out first.

"So, while the Alien Race is indeed strong, they are tied down and can’t break away.

"Furthermore, at the beginning of the war, it was the Resistance Army that united with the Alien Race to attack the nobles together.

"But later, the Alien Race turned around and attacked the Resistance Army, so now the Alien Race and the Resistance Army have had a complete falling out.

"Our Resistance Army wants to take this chance to develop its own strength.

"The Alien Race also wants more Power to continue crushing the nobles.

"Therefore, a clash between our Resistance Army and the Alien Race is inevitable.

"That is beyond question.

"And that’s why yesterday’s battle happened.

"It wasn’t just us yesterday; other Resistance Army factions also made their moves in various places.

"It was just like when the war broke out 20 days ago, except this time, the target was the Alien Race.
