"Understood, Ancestor." Rowling nodded vigorously, a thoughtful expression on her face.

Luo Qing yawned and said, "I really can't go on anymore. I feel like I could fall asleep standing up."

"Then what are we waiting for? Go and get some rest," Ye Feng said with a smile.

Luo Qing then walked towards the distance, which was in the direction of her tent.

Rowling did not leave; she remained standing there watching Jiang Wei train the new recruits.

Night Breeze then said, "Aren't you going back to rest?"

“I’ll watch for a little longer,” Rowling said, shaking her head.

It seems Rowling values ​​these soldiers highly; otherwise, she wouldn't have insisted on holding out here.

Keep in mind that Rowling has barely rested in the past three days, and Ye Feng thinks that even he himself would be exhausted by now.

Moreover, this fatigue is psychological fatigue.

Although martial artists have exceptional physical abilities, far exceeding those of ordinary people, they are unaffected even if they go for days and nights without rest.

However, sleep is a human instinct and habit, so not resting for a long time will still make martial artists feel tired.

Before we knew it, an hour had passed.

The soldiers on the training field gradually became more skilled from being clumsy at the beginning.

Their skills in handling firearms, such as aiming, have become very proficient.

Even so, Jiang Wei did not distribute spirit stone magazines to them.

After all, once the spirit stone magazines are loaded, the fully automatic explosive rifles in the hands of these soldiers can immediately become weapons with great destructive power. Therefore, Jiang Wei will not issue the spirit stone magazines to these new recruits so quickly before they complete all the standardized training tasks.

But judging from the current trend, this was only a matter of time.

Jiang Wei will give them the spirit stone magazines as soon as tomorrow or the day after tomorrow so they can use them for live-fire training.

Rowling seemed to be really at her breaking point, yawning repeatedly, with tears still clinging to the corners of her eyes.

Moreover, her body was swaying slightly, as if she would suddenly fall down at any moment.

Ye Feng then said, "Don't push yourself. Go back and rest. You have things to do tomorrow."

"Yes, Ancestor."

Rowling finally nodded and left.

Rowling and Luo Qing didn't reappear until evening.

The maid, Luo Xiaotong, prepared a sumptuous dinner, all of which were Luo Lin and Luo Qing's favorite dishes.

This was, of course, arranged by Ye Feng at Luo Xiaotong's special request. After all, Luo Qing and Luo Lin had made such great contributions, it wouldn't be right not to celebrate for them.

"Wow, these are basically all my favorite foods!" Luo Qing exclaimed.

Rowling said with a smile, "That's one of my favorites too."

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's start eating, don't let the food get cold. Xiaotong prepared all of this especially for you, so don't waste her kindness," Ye Feng said with a smile.

"Let's have a drink!" Rowling said with a smile, her face flushed.

Luo Qing then raised her glass and shouted, "Cheers! Cheers!"

"Cheers!" Zijing joined in the fun.

Rowling immediately glared at Luo Qing and said, "You'd better not..."

Before Luo Lin could finish speaking, Luo Qing said with a mournful face, "Auntie, I'm an adult now, I can drink alcohol!"

“I can drink it too!” Zijing said.

"I wasn't talking to you."

Luo Lin gave Zijing a disapproving look before saying to Luo Qing, "Drinking is bad for your health, and you've been so tired these past few days, it's better if you don't drink."

"But..." Luo Qing looked aggrieved, wanting to say something but not daring to.

“There aren’t that many ‘buts’,” Rowling said, emphasizing her words.

Seeing this, Ye Feng smiled slightly and said, "Today is a good day, so it's time to relax. As long as she doesn't drink too much, there won't be any problem."

"Grandpa, you're the best!"

Luo Qing looked at Ye Feng with delight, as if she wanted to rush over and kiss him on the face.

Rowling sighed helplessly, rubbing her forehead: "Grandpa, you spoil her too much. If this continues, she'll be spoiled rotten sooner or later."

"It's not that serious," Ye Feng waved his hand and said.

So Luo Lin, Luo Qing, and Zi Jing all raised their glasses, and Jiang Wei quickly raised his glass as well.

After clinking glasses, everyone except Luo Qing drank their drinks in one gulp.

In fact, Luo Qing also wanted to try drinking it all in one gulp, since she hadn't enjoyed the taste of alcohol to her heart's content for a long time.

The last time I had a good time drinking was in Beijing.

"Alright, everyone, start eating. Don't be shy," Ye Feng said.

Luo Lin, Luo Qing, Zijing, and Jiang Wei then picked up their chopsticks and started eating.

It has to be said that Luo Xiaotong's skills are really good. Whether it's Luo Qing, Luo Lin, Jiang Wei, or Zijing, they are all very satisfied.

They kept praising the dishes as they ate them, making Luo Xiaotong, who was serving them, a little embarrassed.

Unexpectedly, halfway through the meal, a figure rushed in from outside.

The person who arrived was none other than Chen He!

And it seems Chen He is also injured!

His hair was somewhat disheveled, his coarse linen clothes had many tears, and there were patches of blood on his body.

Seeing Chen He like this, Ye Feng's expression immediately became very serious.

"Lord City Lord, I've found a settlement for refugees!" Chen He said, panting heavily.

"Give him a glass of water," Night Wind said.

Luo Xiaotong immediately poured a glass of water and handed it to Chen He.

Chen He picked up his water glass and took a big gulp, finally catching his breath and his breathing wasn't as rapid as before.

Before Ye Feng could ask, Chen He took the initiative to report the situation: "Between Jiangxia City and our Xinluo City, very close to the Death Mountain Range, there is a refugee settlement. There are about three hundred refugees living there, and most of them are young adults. There are relatively few fathers, daughters, the elderly, and children."

"But it wasn't just me who found that refugee settlement; a group of mercenaries also found it, and on my way back, I even encountered several of their top fighters."

"So I had a battle with them there. Luckily, I was fortunate enough to kill two mercenaries at the Separation and Union Realm and escape the encirclement."

Ye Feng had long anticipated that Chen He's search for a refugee settlement would not go smoothly, but he still hadn't expected that Chen He's trip would be so dangerous that he almost didn't make it back!

"What level of skill did those mercenary experts you encountered possess?" Ye Feng asked seriously.

Chen He recalled for a moment and said, "The guy who was leading the group was in the middle stage of the True Yuan Realm. He was a little stronger than me, but only slightly stronger. There were two martial artists in the early stage of the True Yuan Realm beside him, who were a little weaker than me. The remaining seven or eight people were all in the Separation and Union Realm. They were either in the late stage of the Separation and Union Realm or at the peak of the Separation and Union Realm!"
