If the fruit is cut up, everyone can eat it, so why not?
Qi Jiu smiled, didn't even take a skewer, and directly picked up a piece of fruit and threw it into her mouth.
The fresh aroma of fruit instantly fills your mouth.
"Try not to agree to things like this in the future. She hasn't officially joined yet, and it's not good for her."
Although I understand that Leng Ruo meant well, the current situation is still somewhat special.
In every aspect, Leng Ruo should be treated equally. Although she was concerned at first, she never offered Leng Ruo any help from beginning to end.
As soon as he finished speaking, Tallinn was stunned, revealing a row of bright white teeth.
"You two are truly roommates; you always say the same thing."
Tarlin turned around. "Actually, this wasn't Leng Ruo's idea. It was Li Hao who wanted to learn swordsmanship, so this was a bribe. But I didn't expect him to refuse it and leave it for you."
Qi Jiu: "..."
What the heck? This guy actually went to learn swordsmanship?
If this gets out, it will be incredibly embarrassing.
How can someone who is supposed to be a high-ranking officer in an assassin organization be reduced to bribing people for advice? Besides, this assassin organization is full of people who are good with knives.
This guy's wicked intentions are obvious.
Why didn't he ask you for advice?
While Tallinn may be a bit crazy in terms of personality, he is quite skilled with guns and knives.
He's ranked fourth, but his strength is top-notch.
The person opposite him shrugged. "He didn't even ask you for advice, did he?"
Qi Jiu: "..."
She understood.
This kid's real intention isn't what it seems.
"Qiqi's back! Did you go to Master's to report back from leave?"
The girl nodded, looking at Li Hao's beaming face, and crossed her arms. "Until she joins the assassin organization, you guys better keep your distance."
Although the "she" in these words didn't say it clearly, she believed that Li Hao understood.
She couldn't talk about her feelings, but these were special times, and putting everything else aside, she had to consider Leng Ruo's future. If this guy dared to mess around, she wouldn't mind giving him a good beating.
Li Hao nodded. "I understand even if you don't say it."
The days that Qi Jiu was away coincided with their training time.
The day after I returned, I happened to be scheduled for an assessment.
That day, before the sun had fully risen, the training ground and drill ground were already full of people. They looked somewhat nervous, as if they were about to face something big.
Dressed in the black training uniform unique to officers, Qi Jiu slowly walked up to the platform. The moment she sat down in the middle, she seemed to sense something.
Before even opening the roster in his hand, his dark eyes had already begun scanning the crowd.
"What's all the noise about?"
The hushed conversation of so many people sounded like countless flies buzzing.
Yesterday, she learned from Li Hao what unpleasant rumors had been circulating within the organization while she was away.
Besides the assessment today, she also plans to put an end to this rumor.
She threw the roster in her hand onto the table in front of her, expressionless, arms crossed, perfectly embodying cold-bloodedness.
Seeing that she was about to get angry, the students on the training ground fell silent, their bodies stiffening.
But she didn't want to resolve this so hastily. Looking at the numbers on their chests, a wicked thought began to creep in.
"Number 36, tell me what you're talking about, let me hear it too."
Whether it was intentional or coincidental, the number 36 the girl mentioned was one of the people who openly discussed Leng Ruo in front of her when Li Hao helped her out of a predicament that day.
Number 36, whose name was called, stared wide-eyed, his whole body tense and even rigid, looking at the people on the platform, not daring to speak.
They wouldn't have dared to act recklessly before, especially with Number 7 present.
Having persevered to this point, she didn't want to ruin her future because of a single sentence.
"Speak up, aren't you going to open your mouth?"
Talin and Li Hao, as the deputy commanders assisting the chief commander, exchanged a tacit glance and sat down next to Qi Jiu the next second.
He seemed genuinely unconcerned about the assessment.
Look, they've all started chatting.
Number 36 remained silent, and the entire training ground was very quiet. Qi Jiu was not in a hurry and just waited for her. After a while, some people would get impatient.
"Speak up! The officer is asking you a question. Don't you have a mouth? Have you donated it?"
"Exactly, what time are we going to waste? Are we all supposed to wait here for you?"
"Hurry up, are you afraid to admit it after you've already told us?"
Discontented voices rose from the surroundings, and Number 36 pursed her lips, her face showing some embarrassment. Her tightly furrowed brows seemed to tell of her inner turmoil.
"Sir, we didn't say anything, we just chatted about everyday things."
Her voice wasn't loud, but Qi Jiu heard every single word.
“Just everyday stuff? Are you sure? Look up. The entire drill ground is being monitored by drones. Are you really talking about just everyday stuff? I'll give you one more chance, the last one.”
Number 36 was startled and subconsciously looked up. Sure enough, she saw a black drone above her head. Not only above her head, but also many others hovering around her.
Realizing he couldn't hide his lie any longer, Number 36 closed his eyes, seemingly having made up his mind.
"Sir! I find it shameful that you, as the Commander-in-Chief, would give preferential treatment to new recruits!"
Now that he's said these words, it's like Number 36 has opened a floodgate and started to throw caution to the wind.
“We are all new recruits. As the Commander-in-Chief, your actions are very disheartening!”
She practically shouted her last sentence, causing a stir among those around her. Some seemed to admire her courage, while others were indignant about the incident.
Seeing the increasingly chaotic training ground, Qi Jiu wasn't worried; instead, she smiled at her.
"Since you think you're right, why didn't you dare to speak up in the first place? With so many people watching, do you think I could silence them all?"
Number 36 was stunned, his lips pursed and his expression somewhat unpleasant.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Qi Jiu spoke up instead. "Because you haven't been able to verify this matter, did you see me give her preferential treatment?"
As she spoke, the girl slowly stood up, her expression subtly changing, and her aura also began to shift imperceptibly.
"Since you all believe I gave someone special treatment, then I'd like to ask you, what benefit did that student gain from it? Getting into an assassin organization? Is that all?"
She smiled as soon as she finished speaking.
“I got her into the assassin organization through connections. Do you think I’ll do the same for international missions? You can try to get her in through connections if you want, but if she dies on a mission because she’s not good enough, I won’t be responsible.”
