Chapitre 49: War and sickly seasons

"Ku Lo, you'll lead the Third Squad and head north," Dai Meifen addressed the Seventh Expeditionary Team. "See if you can spot anything from atop that mountain."

"Understood!" Ku Lo wasn't going to bother asking questions if Meifen was favouring him like this.

After him accepting the battlefield promotion, some people around them shared a few quiet whispers and envious glances directed at him. On the other side were his groupies and Huang Gingge who appeared excited about this.

Ku Lo smiled at his girlfriend, ignoring the jealousy.

Meifen cleared her throat. "Your actions were exemplary during the ambush. Try to keep it up."

"I will!"

"The others will…" Meifen went on to instruct the other teams as Ku Lo pulled aside the three other Outer Court Disciples.

As expected, the three others weren't happy about him getting the promotion instead of them. Who could blame them? They are more experienced and have seniority over me.
