Old Master Ning and Ning Gang both had not expected that in just three months, someone could be transformed into this.
Dressed in a righteous, solemn military uniform, with a freshly awarded medal pinned to his chest, his eyes sharp, lips lightly pursed, standing at the gates of the Ning Family, exuding an aura of intense intimidation and awe.
It’s the unique iron-blooded presence of a soldier, the chilling severity that has endured through bloodshed and life-and-death moments, akin to a sword yearning to be drawn, sharp and cold.
Old Master Ning stroked his beard with satisfaction and smiled; he had judged correctly after all.
This is a piece of steel, and given time, he will be forged into pure steel, not easily broken.
Ning Gang was also very pleased. Compared to the impulsive manner Qi Taiguo displayed three months ago, he now appears more restrained, stable, and composed.
This is an excellent sign. After all, this also counts as his subordinate, and when the subordinate succeeds, it brings glory to the superior.
Qi Taiguo nodded slightly when he saw the two, his mouth curving into a subtle smile.
"Come in." Old Master Ning beckoned warmly and turned to enter the house.
This meeting was not held in the Ning Family living room but within Old Master Ning’s study.
As Qi Taiguo stepped into that antiquated study, he knew that this step symbolized formally entering the Ning Family’s fold, henceforth aligning with them; their fortunes will be shared.
"You did well, didn’t let us down." Ning Gang looked steadily at Qi Taiguo for a moment and said, "Tell us about this training session."
"Yes!"
Qi Taiguo then chose to recount the key events during the training session, including his experiences of being ambushed, harassed, and harmed, as well as his counterattacks, describing them all regardless of their size.
"Aggrieved?" Old Master Ning asked.
