If it was one or two, Gao Han could still consider it a coincidence, but if it was more than three, it was definitely not a coincidence.
Especially Zhang Fantao, ever since he helped him repair the magic weapon, he has been particularly praising himself.
Now, Zhang Fantao showed an expression as if he wanted to say something but hesitated to do so. Even if he was just looking at her secretly, he would have discovered it.
"Just say whatever you want to say." Gao Han remained as steady as a mountain.
Zhang Fantao didn't expect to be discovered. He coughed lightly and said, "No, nothing."
Gao Han said coldly, "I don't like people who hesitate when speaking."
Not wanting to be disliked, Zhang Fantao hesitated for a moment, as if he was organizing his words. After a moment, he blushed and said, "Mr. Gao, there are many people in the army and they are talkative. After something like what happened last night, you should be more careful in the future. The light will cast your shadow on the tent."
Gao Han was confused, but he was used to staying calm no matter what happened. "Okay, I understand. Thank you for your reminder."
Zhang Fantao felt that he was really strong inside. Even after being told so clearly, he remained calm. He was immediately filled with admiration.
"Don't worry, classmate Gao. We won't tell anyone about your relationship. This kind of thing is not uncommon in the military camp, and we all understand." After leaving behind a few words that he thought were comforting, he left.
Gao Han turned around with a wooden face and went to look for Zhongli Tingzhou.
He did nothing last night, but today everyone knows about his relationship with Zhongli Tingzhou. Apart from Zhongli Tingzhou, he can't think of a second person.
Zhongli Tingzhou was in General Shen's military tent. The soldiers outside recognized Gao Han, but they still did their duty to stop him. No outsiders were allowed to enter the general's military tent at will.
The sound was probably heard by someone inside, and Zhongli Tingzhou lifted the curtain and walked out.
"Why are you here? Do you want to come in?"
"Are you sure you want me to come in?" Gao Han's eyes were full of murderous intent.
The soldiers at the door were surprised when they saw this, as there was nothing there just now.
Zhongli Tingzhou paused and said, "Okay, then I'll go out." He turned around and said to General Shen, who waved his hand.
The two walked a few steps, and Gao Han suddenly grabbed Zhongli Tingzhou's clothes and dragged him to the corner.
"Should you explain to me what happened last night? Why does everyone know what we did today, but I, the person involved, know nothing? Hmm?"
"Calm down, I didn't do anything. They just misunderstood. I'm actually confused too." Zhongli Tingzhou blinked innocently.
"You must have done something. Don't play innocent." Gao Han glared at him. If he could believe it, even a sow could climb a tree.
Zhongli Tingzhou looked at him for two seconds, "Okay, I admit, I did something, I just kissed your shadow, who knew that someone would see it."
Gao Han finally understood what Zhang Fantao meant by the light casting shadows on the tent. Zhongli Tingzhou used the dislocation to create the scene that they were kissing, giving people outside an illusion.
"So, you are so hungry now that you can kiss the air, right?" For some reason, Gao Han felt more amused and helpless.
"If you let me kiss you, I wouldn't do that, but you won't let me..."
Before Zhongli Tingzhou could finish his words, a pair of cold lips pressed against his cheek, and then quickly withdrew in less than a moment.
Zhongli Tingzhou froze for about a second, his eyes seemed to be dyed with a thick layer of ink, and he stared eagerly at Gao Han's lips that had just kissed him. The emotions in his eyes were so strong that the latter could hardly resist.
"You're being disrespectful. You kissed me when I wasn't paying attention."
Zhongli Tingzhou's voice was much hoarser than usual.
"Tell me the truth, have you been secretly in love with me for a long time?"
Gao Han: "...If you think so, then so be it."
He had given up the idea of arguing with Zhongli Tingzhou.
"I knew that you had been conquered by my charm a long time ago, right? But you were just embarrassed to let go of your pride and confess your feelings to me?" Zhongli Tingzhou's charming and noble face was lowered by that bit of pride.
Gao Han: “…”
He finally understood what it meant to push for more. This person was the typical example of someone who would shine with a little sunshine.
"Admit it, you've been dreaming about me for a long time." Zhongli Tingzhou was still forcing him without knowing the consequences.
Gao Han: "...Shut up, get out of here if you keep nagging me."
Zhongli Tingzhou immediately quieted down, and after a moment he said unwillingly, "Since we love each other, you can't make me sleep outside the tent any more."
Gao Han gave him a strange look. In fact, he thought that Zhongli Tingzhou would take advantage of him and he was even prepared to deal with it. But it turned out that he didn't. Could it be that this guy, who seemed to be a popular guy, was actually more innocent than a virgin?
"As long as you don't make me angry." Regardless of whether it was true or not, Gao Han didn't intend to remind him. He just left after saying this.
Gao Han has built up a good reputation in the legion, and more and more soldiers are looking for him to repair their magic weapons.
On the other hand, as for Captain Wang, except for some close people, no one came to him to repair his magic weapon.
Seeing that his face was getting uglier day by day, his subordinates dared not to provoke him.
There was no one around that morning and I was feeling nervous when suddenly Captain Wang called me in.
"Where's Xiao Zhou? It's already so late and he hasn't come yet?" Captain Wang usually comes late, so he specially started out this morning. Xiao Zhou, who he had agreed to come to repair the magic weapon, was still nowhere to be seen.
When the subordinate heard this, he knew that something was wrong, but he knew in his heart that this matter could not be kept secret, so he had to tell Captain Wang everything.
"Xiao Zhou heard that classmate Gao could not only repair magic weapons, but also improve their properties, so he went to find Gao."
"Hehe, since you all like to find Gao Han so much, go find him in the future. No one should come to me to repair magic weapons anymore, and I won't help them repair magic weapons anymore." Battalion Commander Wang smiled coldly.
"Don't be angry, Battalion Commander. That classmate Gao won't stay in our regiment for long. After we leave the Baicheng disaster area, he will definitely not be with us anymore." The subordinates heard that other battalion commanders also went to Gao Han to repair magic weapons. If Battalion Commander Wang did this, he might offend everyone in the future.
"I, Wang Xinyuan, am not a rag picker. Since you have decided to find someone else to repair the magic weapon, don't come to me in the future. If anyone comes to me again, tell them this." Battalion Commander Wang said coldly and went back to the tent.
These sour words soon reached everyone's ears, and it was said that the hot-tempered Captain Zhu went straight to Captain Wang to argue with him.
Wang Xinyuan repaired the magic weapons for his brothers in the group, but it was not for free. He had no ability and could not compare to others, yet he still had the nerve to lose his temper.
Captain Zhu pointed at his nose and cursed at him in front of everyone. Wang Xinyuan was so embarrassed that he started to make a scene.
When Gao Han heard about this, he heard that they had already made a fuss in front of General Shen.
Although he knew that not all weapon masters had such a broad mind, and there would always be one or two with bad personalities and tempers, he did not expect that under General Shen's command, there would be someone as narrow-minded as Captain Wang.
"How do you deal with it in the end?"
"I don't know." Zhongli Tingzhou was not interested in other people's affairs, so why would he deliberately inquire about these things?
Gao Han later learned from Zhang Fantao that General Shen did not give any tough orders to Wang Xinyuan. Since he did not intend to help everyone repair magic weapons anymore, the high monthly subsidy allocated to him by the legion was cancelled.
Wang Xinyuan followed suit and raised the price. Except for those who had not asked Gao Han to repair their magic weapons, all the others who came to him to repair their magic weapons would be charged according to the market price.
This regulation stirred up a hornet's nest, and several soldiers jointly complained to General Shen, including He Guang.
They were all people whose magical instruments had been damaged by Wang Xinyuan, but Wang Xinyuan relied on his status as battalion commander and instrument master and not only did not compensate them, he even paid for the materials himself.
Ordinary weapon masters will not accept the job unless they are sure they can repair the weapon.
Wang Xinyuan was different. He was the battalion commander and the only weapon master for this mission. Who dared to trouble him? What if he stopped helping them repair weapons? So no one dared to offend him, and they kept their anger to themselves.
Wang Xinyuan was called by General Shen again. When he came out, his face looked even uglier than before.
General Shen asked him to compensate for the losses of the soldiers, and he dared not disobey.
"How did he become the battalion commander?" Gao Han was very curious about how such a person could get promoted and make money.
Zhang Fantao heard the sarcasm behind Gao Han's calm tone and said with an embarrassed expression: "Captain Wang is a weapon master, so it's easier for him to be promoted than soldiers like us. He wasn't like this before."
All I can say is that human hearts are hard to predict and that interests can easily lead people astray.
Gao Han hummed and didn't ask any more questions.
After resting for several days, General Shen's army set out again. This time, their main focus was on training and they no longer deliberately looked for the Silver Lizard.
The Silver-Essence Lizard is rare, but you can't get it just because you want it. This kind of thing also depends on fate. If it can be obtained by strength, the Silver-Essence Lizard will not fall into the hands of a wild cultivator. Although the main target of the army has changed, General Shen still sent people to find the wild cultivator in private. The Silver-Essence Lizard can fall into the hands of other people, but not into the hands of the evil spirit and the Yuan family.
At this time, the news that Gao Han had obtained the Silver Lizard had already been spread by Tang Yuxi.
As expected, he did not mention Zhongli Tingzhou, but it was not because he was reluctant to do so, but because of Zhongli Tingzhou's background. With the Zhongli family, the military and Penglai University behind him, no one could deal with him.
On the contrary, Gao Han, who has no background and has even been abandoned by his maternal and paternal clans, is the best choice.
On the one hand, it can indirectly force Zhongli Tingzhou. Since he is willing to expose the truth that he obtained the Silver Lizard in front of him for Gao Han, it is not impossible for him to stand up again for Gao Han.
Secondly, it was due to Tang Yuxi's selfish motives. He wanted to force Zhongli Tingzhou to choose between Gao Han and the Silver Lizard.
The former represents love, the latter represents family. No matter which one he chooses, it will eventually destroy their relationship and his goal will be achieved.
