章節 1144: Could You Actually Be An Idiot?

"I will bring ten of them," Ma Zhong declared as Gu Juexi was leaving with Ye Yuwei. 

Gu Juexi turned to look at his still-seated comrade and smiled slowly as he said, "alright then. I guess I will see you and the ten others next week." 

Gu Juexi then left with Ye Yuwei. 

"Gu Juexi," Ma Zhong called out suddenly while trying to get up from his stool with his crutches, "will you go back?" 

"No, and it is not because of you," Gu Juexi stopped and said without looking back. 

Ma Zhong gripped his crutches tightly as he watched them leave. 

"Brother…" Ma Mei looked at her brother in confusion and mumbled, "was he really your comrade?" 

She used to think that retired soldiers were all like her brother, and never would have expected someone as great as Gu Juexi to be one of them. 

"He might be the one that your brother owes the most in this whole world," Ma Zhong admitted quietly as he watched Gu Juexi's receding figure.
