"With your fragile little figure, I bet you'd get weak just hearing gunfire." It wasn't that Ye Shikai looked down on Su Ziqing's courage; the real battlefield is a hundred times more brutal than training. Dragon Teeth's daily training even uses live ammunition; it's true that healing wounds leads to forgetting the pain. Has Su Ziqing forgotten what just happened at Camping Mountain recently?

Su Qingyu also directly refused. It seemed the incident at Camping Mountain cast a shadow over her. A girl who loves to play always seems to be followed by bad luck. Perhaps in Su Qingyu's mind, it was Su Ziqing's playful nature that led to the incident at Camping Mountain.

"Alright then, I'll go help you pack a few sets of clothes later." Su Qingyu showed her "dutiful wife" nature. There was really no way around it; since Yan Kuan said so, Ye Shikai couldn't oppose it, after all, he was his former superior. Ye Shikai originally planned to "sell out" Ouyang Feng, but then thought it over and realized that Ouyang Feng is Dragon Teeth's direct commander. Taking up the instructor's role for the selection was really inappropriate, so he dismissed the idea.

"Brother-in-law, I've noticed Mrs. Dongfang seems a bit unusual recently." Taking advantage of the moment Su Qingyu left the dining table, Su Ziqing secretly leaned over and whispered.

"Unusual? How unusual?" Ye Shikai immediately became tense. Didn't he already promise to help Dongfang Lian find her father's killer? Could she be getting impatient? But Ghost is already investigating, right? Originally, the accident from Dragon Teeth years ago needed manpower from the Netherworld Palace for investigation. Now there's this issue as well; the intelligence department of the Netherworld Palace is suddenly very strained. Honestly, Dongfang Lian's situation is like 'trouble falls from the sky while sitting at home.'

"She's behaving just like a normal teacher: teaching, dismissing class, grading papers."

"Nonsense, what else should a teacher do?" Ye Shikai's expression changed instantly, filled with black lines as he flicked Su Ziqing's forehead firmly. He thought it was something unusual, but it turned out Su Ziqing made Dongfang Lian out to be the unusual one.

"Is she... a normal teacher?" Clearly, Su Ziqing still bore a grudge over the last incident. Being betrayed is indeed not a good feeling. Ye Shikai could understand her, but there was no need to treat her as an enemy. At worst, they just wouldn't contact each other anymore.

"Just don't interact with her in the future. I've spoken with her; in fact, she's quite pitiful, her fate is somewhat similar to mine."

"Brother-in-law, have you let your guard down so easily? She almost killed us." Su Ziqing still held a grudge against Dongfang Lian. But this also proved that the last incident taught her a big lesson. She wouldn't be so careless in the future and would be more vigilant about the people around her.

"She wanted to kill me, not us. She did it because of a misunderstanding with me. In any case, she wouldn't harm the innocent."

"Pretty much. If she wants to harm you... then it's like harming the both of us." Su Ziqing was determined to see Dongfang Lian as a bad person. Ye Shikai didn't intend to say more, planning to leave after eating.

"Stubborn brother-in-law, doesn't even listen to what I say."

..................…

"Yo, Instructor Ye, how is it? Are you here to take charge of training now?" The next day, as soon as he arrived at the base, Ye Shikai was mocked by Wen Ya.

"Sigh, it's just my fate to be responsible for training." Ye Shikai sighed lightly.

"I really didn't expect the Commander to assign you as my partner." Wen Ya handed over a document with information about the different candidates for the selection.

"Let me make it clear; I'm only responsible for the military training part. I won't get involved in anything else." Ye Shikai wanted to clarify things first. Firstly, he was "voluntarily" assigned to select female soldiers, which was not his original intention. Even now, he wasn't entirely willing. Secondly, he was a man, and the candidates were female soldiers. Besides military aspects, he couldn't think of how else he could assist Wen Ya.

"Alright, the Commander also told me that you're just here to help me complete the selection process." Wen Ya waved her hand and said.

"Alright, let me see where those lively, enthusiastic, and spirited female soldiers are." Ye Shikai said with a smile.

"They're already on the training ground. If you want, I can take you there right now." Wen Ya pointed to the jeep outside.

"If it's a blessing, it isn't a curse; if it's a curse, it can't be avoided. Let's go." Ye Shikai braced himself and climbed into the jeep.

As soon as Ye Shikai reached the training ground, he saw a group of female soldiers practicing military boxing. Each one looked fierce as if they were ready to fight. Ye Shikai always thought these female soldiers would probably only date male soldiers in the future. Breaking bricks, shattering stones, throat-locking; if these moves were used on ordinary people...

That would be truly terrifying.

"Ahem, everyone gather around." Wen Ya, wearing sunglasses, stepped out with a imposing instructor's momentum. As the female soldiers saw her arrival, they all stopped what they were doing and gathered around.

"I'm your instructor, Wen Ya; you can call me Instructor Wen." Ye Shikai sat on the grass listening to Wen Ya speak those standard opening lines all head teachers use at the start of school, finding it extremely boring.

Half an hour later.

"This is your other instructor, he..."

"Ahem, Instructor Ye." Wen Ya called out a second time with a loudspeaker because Ye Shikai had dozed off and hadn't heard the first time.

"Here I am." Realizing he might have embarrassed himself in front of all the female soldiers, Ye Shikai quickly ran over. As expected, he hated "class" the most.

"This is your other instructor; you can call him 'Instructor Ye.'" Wen Ya introduced to the crowd. The female soldiers below started discussing, seemingly curious why there was a male instructor among so many female instructors.

"Wen Ya, don't reveal my identity." Ye Shikai reminded softly.

"I understand, don't worry." Wen Ya nodded and continued, "Instructor Ye is your tactical instructor, responsible for training your tactical operations."

"That's more like it." Ye Shikai muttered.

"Let's start the first training: a ten-kilometer armed cross-country run." Wen Ya set a tough task, as it was the harsh selection period. The more people eliminated, the stronger the ones left would be.

"What was wrong with you earlier, dozing off? Aren't you afraid the team members will laugh at you?" While the female soldiers were off doing their armed cross-country, Wen Ya couldn't help but question.

"It's your fault for making the opening so hypnotic, almost like my high school Chinese teacher." Ye Shikai replied, shaking his head.
