In this life, who hasn't buried some hopes deep in their hearts, unwilling to share them with even a single person? Can the most perfect marriage guarantee that both partners reveal their true selves in bed while also exposing their souls? Living like that would be exhausting, detrimental to both oneself and others. Thus, aside from the hints that can be vaguely guessed from Flower Snow Moon, Jufeng's inner thoughts remain largely unknown to others. When Chuyang reveals its embarrassment, it cleverly pretends to look up and cover itself. Although both individuals harbor secrets they wish the other didn't know, who can deny the sincerity between them?
The grand discourse ultimately revolves around one matter: Jufeng is preparing to return to Earth.
After staying on Magellanic Planet for half a month, laden with an array of unparalleled products from Huankezhao of various grades, he is set to return home. As the training for everyone draws to a close, Jufeng decides it's time to embark on his journey back.
Amidst the lush wilderness, a figure darts through the trees like a lemur, skillfully avoiding branches and low bushes while moving at high speed. In a fleeting moment, just as this person leaves the massive trunk of a tree, a bullet—seemingly shot from afar—suddenly embeds itself into the wood. If observed under a high-powered microscope, one would see tiny wood shavings flying off.
The figure running ahead spits out a curse but dares not pause, gliding past like a gust of wind. A few seconds later, another figure passes through this area, moving slightly slower than the first but gripping a pitch-black handgun in hand. The barrel must still be warm since that bullet just came from here.
As both figures enter the forest, they unleash their primal instincts, resembling wild beasts that startle flocks of birds into flight. Wave after wave of birds take to the sky, and patches of trees are disturbed until even lions and lone wolves can no longer endure the exhaustion; only then does this chase begin to near its conclusion.
The Gunner's stamina begins to wane first—not because he is weak, but simply not as strong as before. At one moment, he loses sight of his target. He moves lightly, careful not to snap any branches beneath his feet, holding his gun with utmost caution as he listens intently. Suddenly, it seems as if the wind stirs and leaves fall; then the Gunner abruptly turns around, as if time has frozen between them.
In that instant he turns, a figure appears before him just five meters away; they stand facing each other.
Neither can tire of looking at the other—could it be Brokeback Mountain?
“If I were at my peak strength,” he says, “within five meters, I could easily kill you.”
The Gunner scoffs dismissively. “If it were at the beginning, I could have shot you in the head without turning around!”
Hearing this, the Runner pouts and retorts, “Don’t think I don’t know—you’re out of bullets now! Otherwise, let’s fight it out!”
The Gunner remains unfazed as he pulls a bullet from his pocket and slyly remarks, “Interested in finding out whether you can take me down within five meters or if I can load this bullet and blow your head off first?”
……
Without a doubt, these two were Civilization and Politeness, who were undergoing life skill enhancement training in Yanhuang City. Politeness shrugged indifferently, sitting casually in the woods. Having restrained his aura until now, he finally relaxed, inevitably gasping for breath.
"You pervert, don't you dare call me that! If I don't show my face, you'll never find me in your lifetime. Let's see where your bullets land!"
Civilization was actually at the end of his rope; if it came down to a life-or-death situation, he wasn't confident he could take down Politeness in an instant. He sat heavily beside Politeness, wrapping an arm around his shoulder and laughing, "Alright, let's call it a draw. If not, you win this time, and I'll give you the title of Hurricane's top expert."
"Get lost!" Politeness retorted angrily. "You want me to become a target for everyone? Are you trying to make me so accomplished that I can't die peacefully?"
Seeing his thoughts exposed, Civilization wasn't angry; he simply tightened his grip. Politeness struggled symbolically a couple of times without success and then half-heartedly laughed along with Civilization, resembling a wronged wife, which only made Civilization laugh harder.
Meanwhile, at almost the same time, Tong Bailong demonstrated five sets of Yanhuang City's external martial arts for A Company. The movements were powerful and balanced, causing Listening to Bai to nod secretly, thinking it was a pity such a good talent couldn't stay in Yanhuang City to inherit martial arts.
After Tong Bailong finished demonstrating, applause erupted from about fifty former members of the Armed Team, including Wade. They had been learning together during this time; although they were only scratching the surface, the benefits were evident. They fully acknowledged Tong Bailong's skills and even blindly admired him. Even Wade, who usually looked down on others, repeatedly exclaimed, "Good! Good!"
Situ Yu had learned a hodgepodge of things and then quietly followed Flower Snow Moon to absorb some knowledge and experience in management. Admittedly, the lessons designed by Flower Snow Moon had made this handsome man reflect for quite some time. Although he still wouldn't verbally acknowledge anything now, his every action brought great satisfaction to Flower Snow Moon.
Jufeng returned and was exceptionally happy to see the progress of his group. Everyone naturally understood that without Jufeng, no one would have had such opportunities. The cohesion of a team can easily form; the most fundamental way is to have a common belief. Undoubtedly, Jufeng was that belief at present. However, Jufeng didn't like such teams; he needed a massive machine that could operate just as well without anyone missing. This required time and process; he was content with the current state and wasn't in a hurry.
Shen Lu invited Jufeng into the ancestral hall and felt inexplicably happy upon seeing this junior brother.
"When are you leaving?"
"I'm waiting for a friend to finish handling some matters before returning."
“How is your practice of the Mahayana techniques coming along?”
“The progress I can make in a short time has already reached its limit; what remains cannot be accomplished overnight.”
Shen Lu was quite pleased with Jufeng's calm demeanor and comforted him, saying, “If you have time, come back to visit more often.”
“Sure!” Jufeng smiled as well.
As night fell, Zhu Mao returned to Bill's headquarters, sorting out a series of related matters and bringing back a considerable amount of funds. At the same time, it was on that very night that an aircraft quietly departed from Yanhuang City.
It left without taking a single cloud but carried away a wealth of heritage.
(To be continued)
