Chapter 318: Shooting Department

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

…

After Gu Qingjiu fired over ten continuous shots, Xiong Xuejian saw that she had maintained her result of hitting the tenth ring from the third shot onwards.

Rubbing his temples, he called out to Gu Qingjiu. “Gu Qingjiu, stop for a moment.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Qingjiu—who was focused on training—quickly halted.

She placed the gun on the table, gazing at Xiong Xuejian with a confused look. “Instructor? Is there a problem?”

“No, no, no.”

Xiong Xuejian waved his hands. This was the first time he felt conflicted about this incredibly talented student.

“Regarding yesterday’s matter, I didn’t deliberately speak up for Qin Huai. I heard that you and that Chief Instructor who newly arrived were transferred from the same place?”

After much pondering last night, Xiong Xuejian decided to find out more information about He Niancheng from Gu Qingjiu.

Gu Qingjiu’s information was basically transparent in military school.

But she and He Niancheng’s matter was after all a private matter. Hence, there wasn’t much trace of it.

What they knew for sure from the Dayi military, was that He Niancheng was like a “Living King Yama”[1], the kind who wouldn’t give new students a chance at all.

But his relationship with Gu Qingjiu didn’t seem simple.

More accurately speaking, Gu Qingjiu and that brother of his—Commander Huo—their relationship didn’t seem ordinary.

There was plenty of gossip going around in the military—gossip which alarmed Xiong Xuejian upon hearing them.

After his senior Nian Chusheng’s reminder, how could he not know that He Niancheng had an influential background?

But he hadn’t heard of a character like He Niancheng among the younger generation.

Hence, Xiong Xuejian felt perturbed about it.

After all, he had certain connections in the capital, yet he wasn’t able to dig out any information about He Niancheng’s identity at all.

This was dangerous.

Upon hearing Xiong Xuejian’s words, Gu Qingjiu started to think.

It wasn’t that she didn’t understand that He Niancheng’s identity was sensitive. She figured this Instructor Xiong had obtained some news, plus the fact that he had spoken up for Qin Huai yesterday…

At this thought, she looked up and smiled. “Instructor Xiong, Chief Instructor He and I indeed were transferred from the same military zone. However, he’s my superior, and I’m a soldier.”

Gu Qingjiu deliberately phrased the last sentence in a vague way.

She only stated the difference in her and He Niancheng’s identity, but that didn’t mean that there wasn’t a relationship between the two of them.

However, to Xiong Xuejian, it sounded like Gu Qingjiu was making it clear that she and He Niancheng weren’t connected to each other.

Xiong Xuejian’s brows slightly furrowed.

Since that was the case, why did He Niancheng say that Gu Qingjiu was under his charge?

What did this mean?

The lass before him was calm, steady, and had a smile in her eyes. One look and it was obvious that she wasn’t someone easy to deceive. Although she was young, she had courage and insight.

Only

Even when speaking to an instructor, she spoke clearly and coherently.

Xiong Xuejian sighed in his heart. He decided that since he couldn’t get a clear grasp of the situation, he had better wait and see.

Hence, with his hands behind his back, he said to her with a smile. “Since that’s the case, I shan’t hold you up from training. Carry on. I think you definitely won’t have a problem with Commanding Officer Qin tomorrow. I’m pinning all the hopes of the shooting department on you this year.”

Xiong Xuejian then patted twice on Gu Qingjiu’s shoulders, before letting out a sigh and leaving.

Shooting department?

Gu Qingjiu knew that the school had corresponding departments for each area of training, but this was the first time she heard of the shooting department from an instructor.

Seems like she was more or less confirmed to be heading there in the future.
