Chapter 77: Serious In Front of Others

Gu Yan had experimented deliberately before. In conclusion, she was the only one who was capable of seeing the odd green light on the jade pendant.

This new discovery made her very excited.

Even the burping sound made by the pendant when it ate the herbs could only be heard by her.

Hence, Gu Yan gently rubbed Shen Jiayi’s ankle while summoning the jade pendant in her mind.

After a while, that familiar green light joyfully circled around Gu Yan’s wrist and rubbed against the back of her hand like a cat before flying obediently to Shen Jiayi’s injured ankle.

It was just a minor sprain, so it was healed without delay.

Shen Jiayi was shocked. Her eyes were wide open.

“Gu Yan, you’re so amazing!”

“Doesn’t hurt anymore? Try standing up,” Gu Yan encouraged smilingly. Her eyes were crystal bright as she retracted the green light gently.

Shen Jiayi tried a few steps. She felt even better than before!

She happily answered, “Gu Yan, you’re so amazing!”

“Okay, let’s continue running. In half an hour, we would be able to get back to the camp.”

“Okay!”

The two friends set off again, but this time, Gu Yan taught Shen Jiayi how to control her pace. Shen Jiayi’s body was weaker than hers. It couldn’t be trained well in just a day.

When they reached the destination, more than ten girls were there already. Other than Guo Rou, the rest were all leaning against the trees as they panted.

Lu Ye looked at his watch and frowned.

He said to the vice officer next to him, “Record the names of the last ten people.”

That officer felt quite unlucky, but he still agreed on the surface.

This would offend the female soldiers. By the looks of it, Captain Lu was going to punish the last ten girls.

This officer felt he was getting farther and farther away from finding a wife.

At this moment, Gu Yan and Shen Jiayi placed the bag into Lu Ye’s hands. Lu Ye raised a brow and said, “You took 20 minutes longer than the average time! Try harder next time!”

The officer on the side was speechlessly looking at the sky.

How old was the girl? This time can be considered passable already. Moreover, she hadn’t even undergone much training. Why are you still picking on her then?

What if this pretty soldier cried?!

Shen Jiayi was very scared of Captain Lu, but Gu Yan’s speed only declined because she dragged her down.

She took a deep breath to gather her courage and said, “Report, officer, I dragged Comrade Gu Yan down. She should’ve been able to run faster. Please don’t blame her.”

Lu Ye looked at her plainly and then shifted his gaze at Gu Yan. “Comrade Gu Yan, what do you think?”

“Officer’s evaluation is right. I will definitely speed up tomorrow!”

“Mhm, remember to not go too hard,” Lu Ye reminded and left.

Gu Yan calmly walked away under everyone’s sympathetic stares.

Though deep inside, she couldn’t help but find this amusing.

She knew that Lu Ye just wanted to talk to her a bit more.

This guy…
