บท 1911: Chapter 1855: Luni (Please Subscribe)_1

Inside the Ironblood Group, Jiang Wuyue, who was lying on the bed unconscious, trembled his eyelashes slightly a few times before opening his eyes…

"Cough, cough…"

Jiang Qiyue, who was sitting beside him, hastily said, "Brother, you're awake? How do you feel?"

Jiang Wuyue glanced at his body, wrapped in bandages, his face looking somewhat desolate…

In the duel, he had actually lost to a new recruit!

And it was to a new recruit many years younger than himself, which he simply could not accept!

He muttered, "I… I lost, and I lost miserably!"

Jiang Qiyue pursed her lips and comforted him, "Brother, you were just careless, you haven't lost! If you had fought with all your strength, it wouldn't have ended like that!"

Jiang Wuyue shook his head with a bitter smile, "No… you don't understand, only by truly fighting that new recruit will you realize how strong he is!"

He hadn't used his fifth and sixth soul skills, but the opponent also hadn't used his full power!

Jiang Qiyue fell silent, not knowing what to say…

After a long while, she finally spoke, "Brother, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have provoked you with Yuxue's matter!"

Jiang Wuyue sighed and rubbed Jiang Qiyue's head, "July, it's not your fault. If there's anyone to blame, it's that I am not as skilled! Not only did I lose face, but I also brought shame to the Ironblood Group!"

Just then, a very stern voice rang out, "If you know you've brought shame to the Ironblood Group, then intensify your training!"

Upon hearing this, both of them turned to look…

To their surprise, they found that the speaker was Long Tianwu, with Long Yuxue standing beside him!

Jiang Wuyue hurriedly said, "General Long, and… Yuxue!"

Jiang Qiyue also reacted, nodding in acknowledgment!

Long Yuxue just responded with a light "Hmm" and said no more!

Meanwhile, Long Tianwu looked at Jiang Wuyue with serious eyes, "How's your body feeling now?"

Jiang Wuyue replied, "Thank you for your concern, General Long, there's nothing serious. I'll recover after some rest!"

His injuries might heal, but his reputation within the Ironblood Group and the Ferocious God Legion had plummeted!

Long Tianwu's tone softened a bit, "Good to hear, and don't dwell on the previous spar; victory and defeat are common in the Military Families!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Wuyue immediately clenched his fists, "But I did indeed lose to a new recruit. General Long, please revoke my position. I am not fit to serve as the vice-captain of the Ironblood Group!"

These words made both Jiang Qiyue and Long Yuxue's pupils shrink sharply…

Jiang Wuyue was actually requesting to resign from his position—such was the magnitude of impact from his duel with Tang Wulin the day before!

Without agreeing, Long Tianwu calmly said, "Let's set this matter aside for now. Wait until you've recovered and thought it through before we discuss it!"

At this moment, Jiang Wuyue's mindset was clearly not right; if he agreed, it would confirm that the former did not have the qualifications to be vice-captain.

After a pause, Long Tianwu added, "Yuxue, stay here and take care of Wuyue. I have urgent matters to discuss, so I will leave first!"

Long Yuxue nodded slightly, "Yes, General!"

Once Long Tianwu had left, the three of them just looked at each other in a very awkward silence…

Finally, it was Jiang Wuyue who spoke first, "Yuxue, I lost the duel yesterday, that guy... maybe he's more capable of protecting you!"

These words caused Long Yuxue's brows to furrow slightly, "Jiang Wuyue, what do you mean? There is nothing romantic between Tang Wulin and me! Of course, the same goes for you!"

Jiang Wuyue ignored her explanation and continued on his own, "But Yuxue, for so many years, you've never showed me a kind face yet you seem to enjoy Tang Wulin's company…"

Seeing that something was amiss, Jiang Qiyue hurriedly interrupted, "Brother, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Then, turning to Long Yuxue, she said, "Yuxue, my brother isn't thinking straight right now. Please don't take him seriously!"

Her own brother had truly given up on himself; how could he ever speak like this in front of Yuxue!

Long Yuxue stared coldly at Jiang Wuyue, enunciating each word, "I don't know what your thoughts are, but the facts are as they are."

Having said that, she intended to leave...

But just as she was about to step out the door, she softened and added, "If such a small setback can knock you down, it indeed disgraces the Ironblood Group. Of course, you're not worthy to pursue me!"

...

Forging room!

The sound of knocking interrupted Tang Wulin, who was forging. He swiftly stopped his work and opened the door...

He was met by a woman in her thirties standing outside. Her appearance might not have been striking, but her demeanor was exceptional.

She spoke in a gentle tone, "Hello, may I know if you are Tang Wulin? I was referred by Yuxue."

Tang Wulin's eyes twinkled, "To refer to Long Yuxue in such a manner, their relationship must be very close!"

With that thought, he nodded, "Yes, I am Tang Wulin! Officer, please come in!"

The woman did not decline and stepped into the forging room before finding a spot to sit...

Meanwhile, Tang Wulin took a seat opposite her and asked, "Officer, do you need something forged?"

The woman nodded with a light smile, "Yes, I do need something forged. And I also wanted to see what kind of person Yuxue recommended. I didn't expect to find a handsome young man."

She wasn't keen on asking a rookie to forge for her but became interested as soon as she heard that Tang Wulin had been directly promoted to a junior officer!

Tang Wulin responded modestly, "You flatter me, officer!"

The woman waved a hand, "No need to call me officer. Just call me Luni."

Tang Wulin was momentarily taken aback, then said warmly, "Then I'll take the liberty of calling you Sister Luni!"

This immediately improved Luni's impression of Tang Wulin. She thought to herself, "This new soldier is quite charming with words. Speaking of which... could it be that Yuxue girl actually fancies his type?"

Then, Tang Wulin continued, "Sister Luni, could you tell me more about what needs forging? I believe I can fulfill your requirements!"

Seeing his willingness, Luni stopped beating around the bush and explained, "I didn't come for something to be forged, but rather..."

Before she could finish, she retrieved a metallic cannon barrel from her storage soul tool, which was deformed from years of use.

"This Rapid-Fire Cannon Barrel has been overused and has become somewhat deformed. I need you to fix it. If you could, add some rare materials to enhance its quality!"

"How does that sound? Can you do it?"

Tang Wulin took the Rapid-Fire Cannon Barrel and studied it closely before answering, "No problem. You can come to pick it up the day after tomorrow in the afternoon!"

Upon receiving confirmation, Luni propped up her chin, "As for your reward, I heard you only accept Military Merit. Let's start with a payment of five hundred. If I'm satisfied with the final product, I'll give you an additional thousand Military Merit!"

Tang Wulin's face lit up with joy, "No problem!!"

She was a lieutenant colonel indeed—so generous with her spending!
