”Wang Chong, what are you doing?”

Zhao Qianqiu stopped several steps away, a flabbergasted look on his face. When they had interacted before, Wang Chong had never been so respectful.

”Many thanks to Teacher. If not for Teacher, Wang Chong might have died on his journey back to the capital,” Wang Chong sternly said.

”Haha, and I thought that this was some big deal. Rise, rise. You're the student that I'm most proud of. In this training camp mission, did you really think I was completely unprepared?”

Zhao Qianqiu heartily laughed, not taking Wang Chong's words too seriously.

Wang Chong said no more, and used this opportunity to stand back up. What he believed and how his mind had changed were naturally different from what Zhao Qianqiu imagined.

But there was no need to say these things.

”Come, come, come! Quickly, sit down. How are you doing? Has your body recovered?” Zhao Qianqiu asked.

After rescuing Wang Chong from the forest and sending him back to the Wang Clan, Zhao Qianqiu had not paid him a visit. It was not appropriate for a training camp instructor like him to involve himself in the conflict between King Qi's Yao Clan and King Song's Wang Clan.

Military men were military men, and it was best for them to not involve themselves in political matters. This was also an unwritten rule in the army. Truly pure soldiers kept as far from politics as possible.

Moreover, by delivering Wang Chong to the Wang Clan, he didn't need to pay a visit and would still be treated very well. This was also a reason Zhao Qianqiu had been at ease and not gone over to inquire as to Wang Chong's well-being.

A noble clan of ministers and generals like the Wang Clan undoubtedly had more resources than a military instructor like him!

Wang Chong sat himself on a chair and replied, ”I'm doing well. I've basically fully recovered, with no after-effects.”

Wang Chong's injuries primarily arose from that arrow. The destructive energy attached to it had inflicted terrible damage on him.

A normal person wouldn't be able to recover in two to three months. However, Wang Chong had bought the Gold Organs, so his critical internal organs were far stronger than average.

Thus, it had not even taken a month for Wang Chong to move on his own without any impediments.

”Then it's fine. I've been rather worried all this time, so nothing could be better.”

While speaking, Zhao Qianqiu returned to his own seat. With a wave of his large sleeve, a silhouette like an arrow flew toward Wang Chong.

Wang Chong's palm almost subconsciously snatched at it. He looked down and saw that it was a book rolled up into a tube.

The book was not open, but Wang Chong could still see the words 'Dusk Stallion' on the front. He instantly tensed up. As expected, Zhao Qianqiu's voice resounded in his ear: ”The training camp mission. You weren't here, but we already agreed to the terms. This is the Halo of Dusk Stallion that you wanted. Take it and study it well. If there's something you don't understand, you can come and ask me, but don't get your hopes up. It's said that this technique is very difficult to cultivate. I also haven't cultivated it before, so I won't be able to guide you much.”

”Many thanks, Teacher!”

Wang Chong was elated. In an instant, he felt like there was a great weight in his hands. Although he had taken a great risk and had almost died in the forest, he had finally managed to obtain the most precious, and at the same time most underestimated, technique in the entire training camp.

In his last life, the Halo of Dusk Stallion had been neglected in the training camps and practically no one had learned it. But he had finally managed to do something that no one in his past life had been able to do.

The Halo of Dusk Stallion finally belonged to him.

In this instant, Wang Chong tightly gripped the book in his hands while his heart leapt with joy.

He put away the Halo of Dusk Stallion book, then suddenly asked, ”Right, Teacher, when you were rushing over that time, did you see any groups of people?”

”What's wrong?”

Zhao Qianqiu's brow rose as he asked this question. Wang Chong's inquiry seemed to be implying something. He had clearly sensed something.

Wang Chong did not hide anything, and explained what he had felt while he had been hiding underground. Although it was one group of people who had been pursuing him that day, what happened afterward made it clear that there had been other groups.

Although all these people had been targeting him, each group had its own methods, making it obvious that they weren't together. Moreover, the number of people meant that there had not been only two groups.

Even when counting in King Qi and the Yao Clan, Wang Chong couldn't understand where these groups had come from.

And King Qi and the Yao Clan were clearly together, right?

Why did they need to split into two groups?

Upon returning, Wang Chong had begun to seriously contemplate the matters of that day, and the more he thought, the more strange it felt. Alas, the state of his body at the time left him incapable of investigating.

”This…”

After hearing Wang Chong's recount, Zhao Qianqiu furrowed his brow and said, ”We also investigated the area where you were hiding. The footprints on the ground were extremely messy, and more than one group of people could make. Moreover, we began moving far earlier than you imagined. In that period of time, we really did see other people, but we were quite some distance from them, and the moment those people saw us, they began to keep their distance. There was simply no opportunity to get a close look.”
