Zhuge Qianxing laughed in anger: "When it comes to arrogance, who can compare to you, Zhu Fanfan? Do I need to list out all the things you've done?"

Zhu Fanfan naturally denied it: "I'm so well-behaved and sensible, everyone who sees me says I'm cute, how could I be arrogant? Besides, even if I were arrogant, I didn't teach my subordinates to be arrogant. They are very obedient and sensible, and they don't do anything hypocritical."

Tong and a few others stood behind them, demonstrating through their actions that they were truly obedient.

Zhuge Qianxing had nothing to say. The Zhu family grandfather and grandson were both arrogant people, but the soldiers under their command were upright and dedicated to serving the people. They never broke the law or violated discipline. Even if some of them were arrogant, they were just arrogant and did not look down on ordinary people.

Zhu Fanfan said, "So you've been praising these people too highly, making them lose sight of their place. The first thing we train in the military is to recognize one's place. No matter what level of officer you are, even if you are a general or marshal, the people always come first. Your training will always make you superior. Subtly, they can look down on the people, and over time they will also look down on their superiors."

She had heard from Brother Xi Yan about the training in the Dragon Group. The training for superpowers was very strict and could indeed produce a lot of talented people. However, in terms of ideological education, they implemented an encouragement system. They encouraged everyone, no matter what they did, because Zhuge Qianxing believed that encouragement was more effective than suppression in stimulating potential. This did produce a lot of talented people, but it also produced a lot of arrogant people.

Constantly affirming oneself and negating others will eventually lead to being unable to listen to anyone, thinking that one is the most important person in the world and that one is second only to the most important person. What is the difference between this and being praised to death?

Zhuge Qianxing brushed it off: "We'll talk about this later. Now let's talk about the Bone-Eating Forest. Who submitted the application, and who approved it? Xi Yan, you explain it to me clearly."

Xi Yan had no choice but to say, "When I was resting, Elder Lin informed me that there were bandits here, and they even had superpowers. He showed me the mission authorization letter, which had all the necessary stamps and was marked as Level 2 danger. I checked it three times. He also appointed the team members, and their names were all on the letter. I called everyone together and then came."

Elder Lin, who was standing to the side, shook his head directly: "Impossible. I'm currently in seclusion and there's no way I'd be issuing missions. This matter has already been announced."

He was in seclusion when he was suddenly pulled out by his team leader, who said that something had gone wrong on the mission and the juniors couldn't handle it and needed assistance. He came without hesitation. He believed Xi Yan's words, but before he went into seclusion, he hadn't issued any missions about the Bone-Eating Forest, nor had he mastered the Soul Astral Projection technique. How could he have given orders?

Zhuge Qianxing asked again, "Xi Yan, are you sure it was Elder Lin who notified you? How did he notify you?"

Xi Yan was about to speak confidently when his memory suddenly became a little blurry, and the more he thought about it, the more blurred it became. Feeling a little flustered, he lowered his head and said, "I can't remember clearly."

He was tricked. He couldn't remember any of the tasks assigned to him. He almost ruined the entire team. He also couldn't remember how he got to the military headquarters.

Zhuge Qianxing had no choice but to ask, "Where is the mission authorization letter? You're a thoughtful child, you'll definitely keep it, right?"

He knew that Elder Dan had an ancestral ring with a space inside. He had never coveted it, since anything with a chance needed a connection to sustain it. If it hadn't come to him, it meant there wasn't that connection. He hoped that Xi Yan had put the item inside and that it would remain intact.

Xi Yan breathed a sigh of relief: "I'll keep it."

Xi Yan reached into his pocket and then took it out of his ring. To outsiders, it looked like he took it out of his pocket, but the paper seemed to disappear little by little as if by special effects. Zhu Fanfan and Zhuge Qianxing acted at the same time, so the paper did not disappear completely.

Looking at the half-disappeared paper, Xi Yan felt a wave of fear. Luckily, he hadn't left the authorization letter out in the open, otherwise things would have been really complicated: "Team leader, Meng He has repeatedly said he wants to see the authorization letter."

Before he could finish speaking, a figure flashed past, but was stopped by the others. Xi Yan asked, "Meng He, what is your connection to this matter?"

Meng He was pinned to the ground without saying a word. Zhu Fanfan raised his hand: "I know how to interrogate. I'll ask the questions."

Zhuge Qianxing said, "The interrogation won't yield results anytime soon, so we can't afford to waste any more time. We'll talk about it later."

Zhu Fanfan assured, "I learned interrogation from my godfather, and I can get the results quickly."

Seeing this, Zhuge Qianxing didn't pour cold water on the idea: "Alright, here's a room for you to interrogate them."

Zhu Fanfan shook her head: "No need, I can do it now, just let him go."

Shaoling disagreed: "Meng He's ability is invisibility. His ability is very strong. Once he is released, he is very likely to escape."

Zhu Fanfan was very confident: "No one can escape from my grasp."

The moment Meng He was released, he tried to run away, but Zhu Fanfan stopped him and gave him a good beating. Meng He screamed and cried. What good was any amount of training? Her strength went straight to the soul. Who could say they weren't afraid of injuring their soul? In no time, Meng He was stunned. Zhu Fanfan gestured, "Ask whatever you want. He'll be sober in a bit."

Xi Yan asked directly, "What is your purpose in undertaking this mission?"

Meng He said expressionlessly, "Elder Lin sent me. He promised that as long as I complete the mission and retrieve the energy device from the underground laboratory, I will be rewarded with a hundred years of power to enhance my supernatural abilities."

Xi Yan found it laughable: "The idea that superpowers can only be gradually increased through training is a lie."

Is this a martial arts novel? How can you gain a hundred years of internal energy?

Meng He said, "I don't believe it either. Elder Lin has already given me ten years in advance. My superpower has improved a lot. As long as I get the energy device, he can give me the rest of his power."

Xi Yan asked, "Why did you run away?"

Meng He remained expressionless: "I'm afraid Elder Lin will kill me to silence me."

A group of people looked at Elder Lin, whose face turned red with anger: "It wasn't me, he was deceived."

Zhu Fanfan walked up to Meng He and knocked him unconscious, then used her mental power to wrap him up 180 times: "With such strong willpower, why didn't you make him the captain?"

Zhuge Qianxing explained, "His ability tests have always been just barely passing; he's not particularly outstanding."

Zhu Fanfan said, "I've interrogated many people using the same method, and without exception, they've all been successfully hypnotized. I can tell whether someone has been hypnotized or not. He hasn't been hypnotized at all. You should have someone keep an eye on him! His willpower is too strong; I can't do anything about it."
