Haibu sincerely praised, "That's amazing."
Although I don't know what kind of exam it was, getting first place in everything must mean they're very outstanding; no wonder they're so amazing.
Zhu Fanfan tried to explain, but Zhuge Qianxing interrupted her: "That's right, our Fanfan is a third-generation military officer with impeccable family background."
Zhu Fanfan looked at Zhuge Qianxing and hinted with his eyes that it was wrong to lie about trying to lure people into the Dragon Group. He would be in big trouble if he was exposed. Hai Bu was not weak and was not the kind of person who would swallow his anger.
Zhuge Qianxing refuted him with a look. He could bear the consequences. Bringing someone in was a long and arduous task. He could explain it again if he was sure that the person would not join the Dragon Group. Anyway, they would never see each other again, so he was not afraid of offending anyone. Besides, he did not lie. Every word he said was true.
Zhu Fanfan could only tell him to take care of himself, while Zhuge Qianxing warned her with his eyes not to hold her back.
Haibu didn't notice their misunderstanding and kept introducing his home to them along the way. Zhu Fanfan and the other person also learned that the village was managed by the shaman and the high priest. Actually, there wasn't much to manage, as everyone was very self-disciplined. Although the shaman was old, he was respected by the whole village because he understood medical principles. Most importantly, his exorcisms were very powerful. However, nowadays, there was a crackdown on feudal superstition, so the shaman only practiced medicine.
According to Haibu, the villagers were all obedient and united, never causing trouble, and doing whatever they were asked to do. They were even more well-behaved than children, making the village incredibly easy to manage. In short, the village was like a paradise, where everyone was content and happy. Not to mention Zhuge Qianxing, even Zhu Fanfan listened with considerable skepticism.
When they arrived at the village, the shaman was already waiting. The place they came to was where the shaman and Haibu lived together, and it was also the largest area. They usually handled all the trivial matters and treated people's illnesses here. It was usually quite lively, but for some reason, they didn't see many people today.
The witch doctor was an old man whose beard almost reached his chest. He was short but vigorous, and had a very kind face. He always greeted people with a smile: "I am sorry for not welcoming you properly today, but I hope you will forgive me."
Zhuge Qianxing hurriedly clasped his hands in greeting: "You're too kind, Doctor. We apologize for disturbing you and hope we haven't caused you any trouble. We came in a hurry and didn't bring any gifts. Fanfan, please give the Doctor a pill as a small token of our greeting. It's just a small token, please don't laugh at us."
Zhu Fanfan: ...Have some shame, don't use her as a favor.
Zhuge Qianxing quickly gave him a meaningful look. The things he had prepared were for fighting in case of conflict. If he gave them away, it would be seen as a provocation, and the two sides would definitely start fighting. They were here to eat, so they had to bring gifts. Her elixirs were the most presentable item. He would make it up to her with a gift later.
Zhu Fanfan understood what Grandpa Zhuge meant and presented the bottle in his hand: "This is our Dragon Group's Qi-replenishing pill. It's just a small gift."
The witch doctor's eyes immediately lit up, and he grinned from ear to ear: "You're too kind, you're too kind, hehe..."
He had longed for this legendary elixir for a long time, and he never imagined that he would actually obtain one in his lifetime.
Haib: ...He just ate one! Is it better than the witch doctor's medicine?
Especially after smelling the elixir and feeling refreshed, the shaman's attitude became even more gentle. He walked into the house to greet people, exchanging compliments with Zhuge Qianxing as they went. When they reached the dining table, they were like long-lost brothers, almost ready to hug and kiss. It was the first time Zhu Fanfan had ever seen Grandpa Zhuge so adept at social maneuvering.
Haibu handed a red fruit to Zhu Fanfan: "Girls like to eat some fruit before meals; it's very sweet."
Zhu Fanfan said directly, "I'm only fifteen years old, and I don't plan to get married before I'm twenty-five. My grandfather also agrees that girls should focus on their careers."
She got used to it after she turned twenty-five. If she had stayed in the military, she would have already established herself. As long as her grandfather didn't provoke her, no one would pressure her. Her true nature couldn't be hidden for long; she was petty and vengeful. Whoever pressured her, she would pressure them in return. A question like "Why don't you become a political commissar or commander? Don't you like that position?" could shut down most people. It was even easier to deal with someone of her grandfather's level; a question like "Is your grandson married yet? Has he had children yet?" could shut him down.
Haibu suddenly asked, "Do you believe in love at first sight?"
Zhu Fanfan replied almost reflexively: "So-called love at first sight is nothing more than lust at first sight."
Haibu did not deny it: "I trust my intuition. Even if I am attracted to a beautiful woman, I will stick to it for a lifetime, let alone a mere ten years."
The first time he saw her, without even seeing her face, he felt his heart flutter. He had always had a special talent: he could see people differently than normal people. He could see that the old man from the Dragon Group had a golden aura on him. The witch doctor said that this was the golden aura of merit, which only people with exceptionally good character and who had done many good deeds would have.
Fanfan emanated a white light that shone with seven colors in the sunlight, making him extremely dazzling. He didn't know what this light represented, but he just wanted to get closer. In the village, only couples would want to be close to each other all the time.
The two people who weren't drinking were chatting happily. Zhuge Qianxing waved to Zhu Fanfan, signaling her to come over: "Let me introduce you. This is Zhu Fanfan. Her grandfather is a high-ranking official in the military. He can make decisions and will give you special treatment as long as you pass the test."
Zhu Fanfan interrupted directly: "The military has its own rules. You are the leader of the Dragon Group, so you can naturally make all the decisions for the Dragon Group. My grandfather can't make decisions for the military." Take it easy, don't blow your own horn, her grandfather won't cover for you.
Zhuge Qianxing rolled his eyes at Zhu Fanfan: "Do you think I don't know? There are tests for who can join the army, but as long as you test the waters, who would dare to say no if you say you passed?"
There are no secrets in the military. He often reports to the Chairman and frequently meets with high-ranking officials. Sometimes they talk about interesting family matters. Zhu Fanfan became famous in the army in just one month. He beat people down and then gave them guidance. Unexpectedly, they actually discovered a few good talents and have been given special training. They are very likely to join the special forces.
Zhu Fanfan poured cold water on the idea: "We're in the Beijing area. Even if they're serving in the military, they're stationed locally. It's not like anyone can just go to Beijing whenever they want. I'm not familiar with the troops here, so I can't possibly talk to them."
