After returning to the capital with his army and settling matters within the military, Ji Yuan received a message from his uncle, His Majesty Joyce, the supreme ruler of the Federation, summoning him to the palace.

He had just reached the palace gate when a handsome man with a bright smile walked towards him.

"Brother, long time no see!" Ji Xuan waved excitedly at Ji Yuan, who responded with a smile.

The two brothers, both with short black hair, one with dark red eyes and the other with bright gold eyes; one with cold and aloof features and the other with gentle and refined features, were both outstanding members of the Federation's younger generation.

His Majesty Joyce smiled gently when he saw them: "You've come. How are you feeling? Your aunt has been worried about you."

Jiwen smiled and playfully hit her husband, then looked at the two brothers with tender eyes: "How are you feeling?"

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty and Aunt. We are both in good health," Ji Yuan replied with a smile, a hint of warmth in his eyes.

Jiwen smiled and nodded. She and Joyce had no children. Since her sister and brother-in-law died in battle, she had treated the two brothers as her own children, and their relationship was naturally very good.

Seeing that the children were safe and sound, Jiwen finally felt relieved. Then, she thought of another important matter concerning the children's lives.

"Um, do you have a girl you like?" Jiwen asked cautiously.

Upon hearing this, Ji Xuan's expression stiffened: "You guys talk, I'm leaving first, I have something to do in the army!" After saying that, he sprang into action and left in a very decisive and efficient manner.

"This child, really... never mind. And you, Jiyuan, do you have a girl you like?" Jiwen looked at her handsome nephew and felt that good looks really gave him a unique advantage in stealing other people's sweethearts.

She was already looking forward to seeing what would happen after her nephew, who was as cold as an ice cube, fell in love.

How about turning the hardest steel into the softest silk? I can't wait!

Ji Yuan lowered his eyes slightly, and for some reason, all he could think about was that little kid. He wondered how that kid was doing at school, and he should go and check on him when he had time.

Thinking this, Ji Yuan said to his uncle, "Your Majesty, in order to cultivate the younger generation of the Federation, I am applying to be the chief military training instructor for this year's First Military Academy students."

Joyce's eyes lit up: "You always refused when I asked you to be the head instructor before, why are you willing this year? It's good that you're willing, I can give you a vacation. Go ahead, I'll let the school know."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will bring my troops with me."

Jiwen suddenly spoke up: "There is a royal banquet tonight, and you must attend."

Seeing that Ji Yuan still wanted to say something, Ji Wen preemptively said, "There's no room for discussion. There are also young masters from various noble families, and plenty of beautiful women. If you continue like this, I'll start to question your sexual orientation."

Ji Yuan choked, somewhat speechless. He just found these banquets boring, and those women were so pretentious and affected! His sexual orientation was perfectly normal, okay?

---First Military Academy---

After finishing the first day of acclimatization training, Feng Qingyue lay sprawled out on the bed like a pancake, utterly pathetic. Could someone please tell her why she, a plant-type, utterly useless person, had to do weighted cross-country running and train with the combat-type students next door?!

The most crucial thing is that she's the only one in the plant-based group! How awkward is that!

Shangguan Yu had just returned, holding a nutritional supplement in her hand: "Are you feeling better? You looked so tired, so I brought you a nutritional supplement."

Feng Qingyue struggled to her feet, then pounced on Shangguan Yu and gave her a bear hug: "I love you, my dear Yu Yu, how can I live without you?"

After saying that, it buried its fluffy little head in Shangguan Yu's chest and rubbed against her affectionately.

Shangguan Yu was both amused and exasperated: Is this the joy of raising a gosling?

"By the way, have you heard? This year's chief military training instructor is Marshal Ji, the God of War! I can't wait! It would be such an honor to be a soldier under him in the future!"

Upon hearing this, Feng Qingyue's little head stiffened: Oh no, this is it.

Feng Qingyue secretly glanced up at her best friend, who was looking at her expectantly, then buried her head even lower.

Who understands my immense sorrow?
