Xi Yan didn't quite understand either: "Anyway, we're fine. Let's go back and report first, and wait for the elder to come over."

Zhu Fanfan glanced at the golden eagle and said to the gray wolf, "You wait here for a bit, I'll bring you food tonight."

The gray wolf watched Zhu Fanfan walk away with great grievance, then lay down helplessly in front of the empty air, like an abandoned big dog.

When Zhu Fanfan and Xi Yan returned, they found everyone outside, or more accurately, a group of people facing each other in the courtyard. Zhu Fanfan saw Tong Ze and a few others on one side, their faces covered in injuries, while on the other side, the Dragon Group surrounded Shao Xian. When the others saw the two return injured, Tong Ze quickly stepped forward and asked with concern, "Squad leader, how did you get hurt?"

Zhu Fanfan asked with a cold face, "What's going on here? Why are you all in the yard?"

She had only been gone for less than a day when some people disregarded her warnings. It seemed she hadn't made herself clear enough, allowing them to provoke her again. All her men were injured; it was obvious at a glance that they were wounded, and quite badly so.

Shaoling quickly explained, "Fanfan, this isn't our fault. It was your people who started it..."

Zhu Fanfan interrupted, "Vice Captain Shao, I didn't ask you, Tong Ze, what's going on?"

Tong Ze was furious: "Squad leader, that woman said you got in through connections. We disagree. We can testify that you earned your position through merit, and we accept that wholeheartedly. She just insisted you used improper means. We argued back, and she arrogantly said she had made an application and her backers were coming soon. She said everyone in our unit had to listen to them. We think we're all one family and shouldn't have class distinctions. I suspect she's an enemy agent trying to sow discord in our country. Who knew she'd get so worked up? We were afraid she'd run away, so we tried to persuade her to stay, but she just started fighting with us..."

Actually, they deliberately provoked her, wanting her to make the first move. The one who makes the first move is in the wrong, and then they lose, and lose miserably. They were already injured, and now they're injured even more. Shao Xian didn't make a move; she was just shouting nonsense. The one who made the move was one of her suitors in the Dragon Group. That guy thought he was a hero who saved the beauty and was extremely proud of himself. But that's not the key point. The key point is that their whole group couldn't beat that one person. It was incredibly embarrassing.

Shao Xian said smugly, "I've already reported this to the team. You're disobeying orders, so be prepared for punishment!"

She made the call, but to her surprise, the team leader answered personally. After hearing about the situation, he immediately said he would come over in person. The people in the army were doomed, and the team leader was coming to back her up. How could she not be proud?

Zhu Fanfan took a deep breath: "Who were involved in the fight? Step forward!"

A burly man stepped forward, showing no fear whatsoever: "I fought your group of men all by myself. No matter how strong you are, it's useless. Your men are all my defeated opponents. Our team leader is here in person. You wait for him to seek justice for us. Even if you are strong, so what? We have a strong leader to stand up for us. I will definitely file a complaint. If you have the guts, kill me right now."

Zhu Fanfan gave a dry laugh. She really didn't dare. The person opposite her had a bruised and swollen face, with not a single patch of exposed skin unscathed. Although he was standing tall and proud for the moment, he had been limping when he first stood up, and his face was twitching in extreme pain after he finished speaking. He must have been forcing himself to say those words. Clearly, the person opposite her was more seriously injured. To be honest, she really wanted to laugh, but seeing the other person's pitiful appearance, she felt she should give him some face. She couldn't bring herself to hurt him in that miserable state.

With a powerful backer arriving, Tong Ze and his companions lowered their heads in shame. They had initially only intended to teach him a lesson and were prepared to be badly beaten. Who knew that the other party was so unpopular that he didn't have a single helper? If a group of people couldn't beat him, surely one could? So they went straight for it.

The main problem was that the woman's words were too offensive. They tolerated it. Who didn't know the contributions the old commander had made to the country? Who didn't respect him? But in the mouth of a little girl, he was just a useless old man who couldn't even teach a child properly. Did he even know what a martyr's family was? Besides, the squad leader got in on his own merits. The army had dug up his deeds. Before enlisting, the enemy agents he had exposed could form a whole regiment. Why should he be insulted by a little girl who didn't know her place? So they didn't hold back and beat her a bit too hard. But they heard that the Dragon Group members were all tough and recovered faster than them. Thinking about that, they didn't feel so guilty.

Zhu Fanfan could only say, "I'm tired. I'm going to freshen up first. We'll talk about this when your team leader arrives. Any objections?"

No one in the group spoke. After Zhu Fanfan finished speaking, she went back to her room. She quickly went to her space and treated all her injuries. Xue Dao saw this and surrounded Zhu Fanfan with heartache, wanting to comfort her. Zhu Fanfan comforted it instead: "I'm fine. I was injured during training before, but this time it was a bit more serious."

It's more than just a little serious. During training, Grandpa always controlled the intensity to prevent her from getting seriously injured. After all, Grandma was right there. If Grandpa went too far, Grandma wouldn't be able to get past him. After she finished training, she never lost a battle, no matter who she faced. In fact, she always won by crushing defeat. I never expected her to be defeated like this, and the injury was quite severe. She had traveled all over the country before, and had been to Yunnan several times. How come she never discovered this place?

Back in her room, Zhu Fanfan wanted to rest, but she couldn't fall asleep no matter what she did. The more she thought about it, the angrier she got, and the angrier she got, the less she could sleep. In the middle of the night, Zhu Fanfan sat up in bed. No, she couldn't let it go like this. She had never suffered such a loss before.

I quickly got dressed, grabbed my gear, and headed out. I soon arrived at the forest. Even with my mental energy, I still couldn't clearly sense what was going on inside. The forest now seemed more like a wild beast with its jaws wide open, waiting for its prey to walk in.

Zhu Fanfan located the gray wolf's position. The gray wolf was still waiting where Zhu Fanfan had left before, shivering from the cold, its body curled up in a ball.

As Zhu Fanfan walked in, she felt a gust of cold wind rush straight to the top of her head. Zhu Fanfan said to the gray wolf, "Little Gray, don't resist, I'll take you away."

The gray wolf heard Zhu Fanfan's voice, raised its head and sensed her presence. Relaxing, Zhu Fanfan moved it directly into the space and sensed the golden eagle's location again. To her surprise, it was right above. Only then did she see a golden light on the tree, but it was trembling there.

Zhu Fanfan moved the golden eagle into the space, looked at the distorted darkness in front of her, and immediately ran away.
