Fifth Zhen smiled and said, "Of course I've thoroughly researched the soldier I'm recruiting. The gold medal he won last time for underwater radar design was awarded by our unit. His outstanding achievements in mathematics, computer science, and automation are exactly the kind of talent I'm looking for."

Then, Fifth Zhen added, "Speaking of which, isn't the Jiu family full of hidden talents? I never expected that Jiu Yebai is Miss Jiu's younger brother."

Just then, Jiu Yebai came downstairs.

He had just taken a shower after his morning exercise and felt refreshed.

When Jiu Yebai saw Wu Zhen chatting with the cat, he was a little surprised. "Sister, you two know each other?"

The cat nodded.

Fifth True Path said: "You said your kung fu was taught by your sister. I didn't really believe it at first, but now I do."

After sitting down, Jiu Yebai asked, "Do you know how skilled my sister is?"

Fifth Zhen looked at the cat and said, "Hmm."

Fifth Zhen then said, "I came here today to ask you, what's your decision?"

Jiu Yebai's expression turned serious: "I've made up my mind, I'm willing to go."

Previously, Jiu Yebai had never thought about joining the army, but Wu Zhen told him that he could help him become a strong and indestructible man.

This is what Jiu Yebai wants. He wants to take care of his sister, not by bringing back a lot of money or giving her a lot of bonuses, but by becoming someone who will never be defeated by the storms of life, so that he is qualified to protect her.

He didn't want to remain the little brother who would never grow up in the cat's eyes forever.

The appearance of the fifth one enlightened Jiu Yebai, giving him an excellent choice! He knew he had made his decision, but he still wanted to ask for Maomao's consent.

Because once he leaves home, he doesn't know when he'll be able to come back.

Fifth Zhen was also well-prepared. He took out a file folder and placed it on the table. "Take this to the address on the folder to report. Your school will process the procedures for you as quickly as possible."

Fifth Zhenzhen came to see Jiu Yebai. He didn't stay long and left after finishing his business.

Cat Cat was starting to regret it. Jiu Ye Bai only said he wanted to join the army, not that he wanted to serve under Wu Zhen. Wu Zhen was no ordinary person.

However, when the cat looked at Jiu Yebai, he was getting dressed and about to go to school to complete the procedures for taking a leave of absence, and he was very excited.

At this point, nothing you say will make a difference.

Cat thought that even if there were uncertainties waiting for Jiu Yebai in the future, it would be something that Jiu Yebai would have to face.

...

Cat went to school to pick up her grades. Even though she tried to avoid crowds, paparazzi still took photos of her, which quickly spread online.

In this exam, the cat's score once again far surpassed the rest of the college, and "academic superstar cat" once again became a trending topic.

[This goddess-like beauty is captivating at first glance, but her talent will ultimately win you over! You'll never guess how many surprises she can bring!]

She's here! She's here! She's here again with a perfect score!

[The same homework, I looked down at my 60-point test paper... and hid it away in shame...]

I suspect I went to a fake university! Everyone move aside, even this lazy bum is getting motivated!

[I don't care, I'm still blown away by my cat sister's beauty!]

Cat has been under too much scrutiny from paparazzi lately, constantly trending on social media. She's too lazy to pay attention to it, since they're all just trivial trending topics anyway.

After leaving the school, she went to Professor Gu's house.

Gu Zeyi happened to be there as well.

"What a rare guest! What brings you here?" Gu Ze turned around to look at him.

This guy looks like a gentleman, but Cat knows that he's mostly just pretending to be righteous. In fact, he's full of tricks and is Mu Jin's strategist.

These people are all equally wicked.

Gu Zeyi has been very busy lately. He was transferred to a new position and seems to have more free time. I heard he's been attending meetings all over the country, practically flying around.

It's quite rare to see him here.

The cat said, "I'm looking for Professor Gu."

Gu Zeyi said, "The old man went to play chess with Grandpa Ye. Wait a while, he should be back soon."

Gu Zeyi is pruning Professor Gu's flowers.

After winter set in, the greenhouse was enclosed by large glass windows and turned into a hothouse, so the flowers inside still bloomed very well.

"Are you planning to apply for graduate school?" Gu Ze asked her.

The cat looked at him and asked, "You know that?"

Gu Zeyi: "Hey, what don't I know? You're so popular, the old men always bring you up when they get together. Looks like they're going to get their wish this time."

Maomao did come to talk to Professor Gu about this. She wanted to apply for a master's degree in archaeology and wondered if Professor Gu would take on students.

"Do you know why the old men want you to get involved in archaeology?" Gu Zeyi asked.

The cat said, "I don't know."

She made this decision because she wanted to know.

If she agrees, it's not just about a diploma anymore, it's about a responsibility.

Professor Gu already made it clear last time.

The reason why the cat hesitated was because of this responsibility, which didn't seem like her usual style.

Gu Ze smiled, put down the scissors, sat down, and made tea for the cat.

“Don’t say I’m not being fair, I’ll give you a hint,” Gu Zeyi said. “Whether it’s official or unofficial sources, there are too many gaps in the history of things, and too few people are capable of filling in the gaps. You are one of those rare ones.”

So this isn't just an academic issue; it's a very complex matter. Otherwise, the old man wouldn't be so eager for you to join.

Gu Zeyi's tea-making movements were very professional and fluid.

Cat raised an eyebrow, quite surprised that Gu Zeyi had mentioned the Eight Gates to him.

Even though they all knew perfectly well what was going on, they never actually broke through that barrier.

She only admitted to Ah Jin that she was a member of the Jingmen sect.

However, whether it's Gu Zeyi, Tan Zheng, or Ye Mingshi, they should all know, it's just a matter of how much they know.

"The old man hasn't come back yet, you can think about it some more," Gu Zeyi said.

The cat laughed, "Gu Zeyi, why are you undermining your grandfather?"

Gu Zeyi also laughed, "If I don't dismantle it now, wouldn't it be even worse if you and Jin'er came to settle accounts with me in the future? A person who does not plan for the future will have trouble in the present."

The cat said, "No need to think about it."

She paused for a moment, then added, "Thank you."

Gu Zeyi acted as if he had never seen her before, suddenly looking her up and down several times. "Tsk tsk, did I hear that right? Kitty, you're thanking me? Is this still the fearless Kitty?"

The cat snorted, "I'll only thank you this once; you won't hear it again."

No matter what, they all protected her identity, and Maomao remembered it all.

Gu Zeyi laughed immediately, "So, I'll accept Tan Zheng and Ye Mingshi's share too."

Suddenly, the cat asked, "Gu Zeyi, what exactly does Fifth Zhen do? You should know, right?"
