Chapter 144 - 139 Young Hero
"When I was fifteen, on the day my eldest brother got married, I annihilated the Snow Wolf Tribe and planted the Audrich battle flag, which had been dormant for over a decade, on their land. From that moment onward, there was no more Snow Wolf Tribe in Xiawu."
Tong Airui chuckled, "I heard from my third uncle that when they saw the battle flag waving in the wind that day, they were so moved they cried. This battle flag was passed down from my great-grandfather to my father, and then from my father to me. The Audrich battle flag is the soul of Xiawu’s army—where the flag stands, the ground belongs to us."
Yi Luowa’s eyes sparkled as she looked at him, "Fifteen! You must’ve been a middle schooler or a high schooler then, right?"
"That was the same year I went to college." Tong Airui said with a laugh, lightly pinching her cheek.
"You went to college at fifteen? I was still skipping classes at fifteen." Yi Luowa grinned sheepishly. "Later, I wanted to study car manufacturing, so I buckled down and worked hard—just for half a semester. Thinking about that grueling period still gives me shivers."
Tong Airui laughed and said, "I knew you had a clever little brain. Studying for just half a semester and getting into a prestigious university!"
"It was out of necessity." Yi Luowa nudged him with her elbow. "Go on, I want to hear more of your story."
"When I was fifteen, I studied for two years at a military academy in Z Country. My parents had already returned to Xiawu by then, so I lived with my aunt’s family. Two years later, I was admitted to Saint-Cyr Military Academy."
"You’ve been to F Country?" Yi Luowa seemed a bit excited at the thought that they had once been in the same country.
