Chapter 323 - 315: I’m Not Here for a Vacation
Tian Xinhua and Lei Gang tumbled and scrambled their way to Shangguan Qing, pushing him aside with a flop. Shangguan Qing glared fiercely, cursing internally—these disrespectful, audacious fools! He was about to berate them when he noticed his two new recruits trembling with excitement beside him.
What a disgrace, it’s just a pretty girl, what’s there to be excited about? Shangguan Qing was scornful, but he still held back his anger. Mainly because he quite liked these two fellows; despite their noteworthy backgrounds, they proved to be commendable fighters in battle, not a single coward among them.
Moreover, Tian Xinhua had brought plenty of good medicine, and many of his soldiers survived thanks to Tian Xinhua’s medicinal contributions. These soldiers were like his own children, trained from dawn till dusk – losing any of them felt like cutting a piece from his own heart. Now, with Tian Xinhua’s life-saving medicine, he was spared much pain. This great kindness, Shangguan Qing could not forget.
"Brother Xin Hua, I brought the medicine for you," Sisi said shyly, not daring to mention she was there to help kill.
"Gangzi, look at the state you’re in! Watch how I avenge you later!"
Zhang Jie, equally domineering and imposing as her statement, would have been as convincing as Shangguan if she hadn’t been slightly shorter, which took away some of her fierceness.
Lei Gang and Tian Xinhua simultaneously dragged their respective wives aside.
"Dear, what are you doing here? Please just go back home! I’m begging you!" Lei Gang pleaded.
"My dad agreed, why are you making a fuss? Besides, you’re not any better than me. If you can fight the enemy, why can’t I?" Zhang Jie retorted with a piercing look. Usually, Lei Gang would have stayed silent but today, he spoke up.
"Honey, please, just go back. This isn’t a place to show off. People really die here. Go back, and I’ll be home to join you in a few days, ah!"
