Chapter 121 A Chance Encounter: From Enemy to Friends – Let's Go to a 'Great Place'! ...
"Pei Qing?"
"arrive."
Pei Qing responded and went to the front of the line. Besides the instructor, there was another student.
Yu Ming stood next to the instructor, her fists clenched so tightly they cracked; she couldn't wait any longer.
The instructor, a robust female instructor, couldn't help but twitch her lips when she saw Yu Ming's pathetic appearance. She lowered her voice and said, "Tsk, don't make it so obvious..."
"Alright, alright." The bright orange hair visibly dimmed. Yu Ming took a deep breath and obediently stood aside as instructed by the instructor.
"Ahem, so you're Pei Qing, right?" the instructor said, adopting a serious demeanor. "Do you know why I called you up here?"
"I don't know," Pei Qing shook her head, looking completely bewildered.
"I heard that you were the top student in your local military academy. Now that you've come to the First Army, your abilities must be quite good." The instructor nudged Yu Ming next to him.
"Yu Ming is the top student in this freshman assessment training," the instructor said with a smile. "When I was lecturing just now, I focused more on theoretical knowledge, but combat skills are best learned through hands-on practice. You two are the best among this batch of freshmen, and your strengths are evenly matched, so you can demonstrate for the rest of the class."
"What do you mean?" Pei Qing heard snickers and whispers coming from the queue, and the words weren't very pleasant.
"Hmph, so you mean we have to fight?" Yu Ming said with an arrogant smile, deliberately showing off his muscular physique. "You're not scared, are you?"
"If you're scared, then quickly kneel down and kowtow three times to this old lady, and then get out of the First Army!"
"Hahahaha!" The training room erupted in laughter.
There were also people watching the commotion, waving and shouting, "Hey! Yu Ming, stop wasting your breath on this pretty boy! Go get her! Beat her down and make her call you 'Grandma'! Otherwise, I'll look down on you!"
"Exactly! Real women settle things with force! What's the use of sweet talk!"
"Hey! You transfer student! If you're too scared to fight, get lost! Don't waste time! Hahahaha! You cowardly wimp!"
Pei Qian suddenly realized that this was a premeditated arrangement, the purpose of which was to humiliate her.
"Hey, what are you dawdling about? You—" Yu Ming finished laughing, and seeing that Pei Qing was unmoved, he took a big step forward and tried to grab her collar. However, Pei Qing dodged, and he missed.
Yu Ming stared at her palm. How could this be? This good-for-nothing's reaction speed was so fast? She was a powerhouse with both mental strength and physical fitness at the double S-level! As far as she knew, there were no more than a handful of students at the entire military academy with double S-level or higher!
“I can fight you,” Pei Qing said coldly, “but on one condition: if you lose, you have to kneel on the ground and kowtow to me three times, and then say, ‘Grandma, I was wrong.’”
Yu Ming gritted his teeth so hard they were about to break. "Fine, I agree. But if you lose, you'd better get out of the Allied First Army as soon as possible and never show your face in front of me again."
“Okay, but I feel like I’m still at a disadvantage in this agreement,” Pei Qing stroked her chin. “How about this, I’ll take back what I said before, and keep the conditions for now.”
"Tch, I thought you'd finally shown some backbone, but look what you've got." Yu Ming sneered, a vague unease creeping into his heart, but he still held his head high. "Let's get this straight, you'd better admit defeat now, or I might lose control."
The unease in his heart grew stronger and stronger. This couldn't go on. With a roar, Yu Ming decided to strike first.
"Ha, thank goodness I took it back. I wouldn't want such a foolish granddaughter." Pei Qing chuckled and raised her hand to block Yu Ming's punch.
"Huh?!" Yu Ming looked up in surprise. Her fist had been blocked. No, that's not right.
The next second, Yu Ming was hit hard in the abdomen with an elbow strike. "Pfft!" She tilted her head back and spat out blood and foam, feeling as if the acid in her stomach had been vomited up.
She casually wiped away the blood and foam, and kicked out unwillingly, aiming a low kick, but it was easily dodged.
"With such little skill, you think you can be my great-aunt?" Pei Qing's mocking voice came from afar, sometimes near, sometimes far. Yu Ming's vision blurred and his ears rang constantly.
"Ugh!" Before Yu Ming could react, he was knocked to the ground, feeling dizzy and unable to muster any strength.
Her speed was incredible, and her strength was astounding—was such physical ability even human?! Unable to dodge or escape, Yu Ming was utterly devastated. He had truly shot himself in the foot this time. Seriously, if she was so talented, why did she have to use connections?!
Yu Ming felt dizzy and saw stars, lying on the ground for a long time, unable to get up. In her dazed state, she heard Pei Qing whisper in her ear, "Is that all you can do?"
How could a real woman say no! Yu Ming was provoked, struggled to get up, and was then kicked back to the familiar ground.
She lay on the ground, panting heavily, unable to lift even a finger. Yu Ming finally realized that this transfer student wasn't human at all! She was a monster!
No, no, this time it's really over. Yu Ming never got up again.
Pei Qing pouted and squatted down, poking Yu Ming's cheek, saying innocently, "Why isn't she moving? Hey, stand up again, we haven't finished the demonstration yet."
"Isn't her stopping because of you?!" The surrounding classmates trembled, clinging to their small bodies, barely daring to breathe. This was too cruel! She wanted to go home; she wanted to find her mother!
The huge training room suddenly became completely quiet.
"You agree, right, Instructor?" The black-haired woman A suddenly looked up and gave the instructor a shy smile.
The instructor was startled and stammered, "Yes, oh no, haha, Pei Qing, thank you so much, haha, you can go back now."
"Ah, it's over so quickly? I wanted to demonstrate it a few more times." Pei Qing scratched her head and, as she turned around, seemingly unintentionally stepped on Yu Ming's leg.
"Click".
A piercing pain struck, and Yu Ming, who was still somewhat conscious, tilted his head and fainted from the pain.
The instructors and students immediately surrounded him, looking extremely anxious. Pei Qing, who kept his merits hidden, smiled faintly and casually slipped away.
"Hey! Yu Ming! Can you still hear me?!"
"Boss! Boss! What's wrong? Are you okay?!"
"Waaaah! Boss, don't die!"
Tsk, Yu Ming, who was unconscious, was disturbed by the incessant noise around him. He subconsciously raised his hand and waved it, and only then did the noise around him quiet down.
Immediately afterwards, her body was immersed in a warm liquid, and the beeping of the treatment chamber continued, as Yu Ming's consciousness slowly drifted off to sleep.
After the farce, there were only ten minutes left in the practical training class. The instructor, who was exhausted, was too lazy to continue the class and waved his hand to tell the students to do whatever they wanted.
Oh dear, if anything happens to Yu Ming, her career will be completely over! These little devils are all such a worry. The instructor sighed and left the classroom to check on Yu Ming.
It shouldn't be anything serious. Yu Ming is strong and healthy, and he should recover quickly.
"Ding-ling-ling!" As soon as the bell rang, Pei Qing took off running.
Just as she was about to walk out of the teaching building, she suddenly heard a shout from behind.
"Hey! Pei Qing! Wait a minute!"
The voice sounded somewhat familiar. Pei Qing stopped in her tracks. Yu Ming was being helped by several people as he walked over angrily.
No, is this person still not satisfied with being beaten? Pei Qing frowned, wanting to see what kind of trouble this person was going to cause.
"Thump!" Yu Ming suddenly let go of Pei Qing's hand and knelt down in front of her, his voice loud and clear.
"sorry!"
Huh? What's going on now? Pei Qing was completely bewildered.
"Grandma! I'm sorry, I was wrong!!!" Yu Ming's face turned bright red, and it was clear that she was also very ashamed.
Pei Qing was shocked. Didn't she say she was withdrawing her conditions? How could someone be so eager to become someone's granddaughter?! This doesn't make sense!
"No, no, what do you want?" She glanced at the classmates watching the commotion and asked in a low voice. How embarrassing, how could it be so embarrassing? Pei Qing felt like she was dying.
"Grandma! I really know I was wrong! Please accept me as your eldest granddaughter!" Yu Ming's eyes sparkled with anticipation.
"Are you crazy? Get up right now, or I'll beat you up." Someone else looked this way. Pei Qing awkwardly covered her face. This was so annoying! What was she trying to do?!
"No, no, if you don't accept me as your granddaughter, I... I won't get up!" Yu Ming reached out and hugged her leg.
"Ha, what did you say?" Pei Qing's eyes were dangerous; she hated being threatened. "Fine, then you'll never get up again." She made a kicking motion.
Upon seeing her movements, Yu Ming suddenly felt a sharp pain in his kneecap and hurriedly scrambled to his feet. "No, no, no, please don't hit me, Grandma! I'll get up right away!"
"Tsk, speak properly." Pei Qing glared at her.
Yu Ming immediately backed down, shrinking his neck, "Um, no, Pei Qing, I really know I was wrong. I saw you got in through connections, and I thought you were one of those useless rich kids, that's why..."
“No wonder,” Pei Qian couldn’t help but rub her forehead. Feng Lin was always causing her trouble. “It’s okay, you’ve already been beaten up, so let’s just leave it at that.”
"No! We absolutely can't let this go!" Yu Ming suddenly became agitated, meeting Pei Qing's gaze, her voice growing softer and softer, "Well, what I mean is, this isn't good for you, so we can't just let this go."
"So what do you want? Another fight?"
“No, no, no, no,” Yu Ming shook his head repeatedly, his face slightly flushed. “I just wanted you to be our boss. I was so proud of myself because I thought I was the number one of the new generation, but now it seems I’m still too weak.”
"No, boss! Even though you lost, you'll always be our boss in our hearts! Waaah!" The girls behind him were all in tears.
Pei Qing was too lazy to watch the group of sisters being so affectionate, so she turned to leave, but was stopped by someone.
"What do you want? I'm starving, I need to go eat." Pei Qing waved away Yu Ming's hand.
"I...I...I want to invite you to dinner!" Yu Ming stammered.
"You're inviting me to dinner? Why would you invite me to dinner?"
Yu Ming stammered, unable to speak for a long time before finally managing to say, "Um, um, please consider this my apology."
Seeing that Pei Qing's attitude had softened, Yu Ming casually put his arm around her shoulder and said confidently, "Come on, come on, I'll take you to a great place! You'll definitely like it!"
Pei Qing thought about it and felt that she hadn't lost anything; it was just a meal. She was too lazy to argue with Yu Ming anymore, so she followed the small group out of the school gate and wandered around until they arrived at a place where colorful lights were flashing wildly.
"This is the good place you were talking about?"
Pei Qing glanced at the bar in front of her and dodged aside to avoid a couple who were completely absorbed in their kiss.
