Chapter 2594: Joining the First Division

Yuan and Mei Xiaoyun stood calmly before Mei Feng in her office.

"How’s everything so far?" she asked them, her gaze mostly on Yuan.

"Boring," Yuan answered without hesitation.

"Not surprising, considering you’ve just finished your classes."

"When is the ceremony? I thought it was supposed to happen after the classes," he then said.

"It will happen right before the others are sent to training. Although you won’t need to participate in the training, you still need to be present for the ceremony."

"Why did you call us here?" Mei Xiaoyun asked.

"Are you in a rush to be somewhere?" Mei Feng remarked.

"..."

When Mei Xiaoyun fell silent, Mei Feng turned to look at Yuan and asked, "Have you decided which Division you want to join?"

"Whichever Division will help me rank up and gain credentials the fastest."

"In that case, you’d want to join the First Division. They are always the first to be considered for missions. Moreover, with your combat expertise, I also think it’s the most benefiting place for you."

"The First Division it is, then."

"A quick warning. The soldiers of the First Division tend to be more arrogant and prideful than those of the other Divisions because of their abilities. Since you’re both new and received a rapid promotion, you may run into some trouble during your first few months. Just don’t let it bother you," Mei Feng warned.

"Are you asking me to ignore them?" Yuan remarked with a playful smile.

"To the best of your abilities," she nodded.

"You should also be aware that although I command the First through Fourth Divisions, not everyone under me will be friendly. Some of them are even aligned with General Gu, so it would be wise to avoid unnecessary conflicts whenever possible."

"I’ll do my best, but if it comes down to it, I’ll defend myself."

Mei Feng nodded before clarifying, "I’m not asking you to sit there and take it. I simply don’t want you drawing any more attention than you already have."

Mei Feng then turned to Mei Xiaoyun. "I won’t ask why you suddenly changed your mind about joining the military, but if you ever need anything, speak to Sergeant Quang or Sergeant Bing. They’ll do their best to accommodate you."

Mei Xiaoyun narrowed her eyes slightly. "I don’t want any special treatment."

"As much as I’d like to leave you alone, it doesn’t change the fact that you’re my daughter, and as long as you’re in the military, there will always be people who try to take advantage of you—or use you to get to me. In a way, you’re in even more danger than Yuan."

Mei Xiaoyun silently sighed at Mei Feng’s words. Even without being told, she was already aware of her own situation.

"I considered removing you from training, but ultimately decided against it. However, if anything happens, I’ll pull you out immediately. Understood?" Mei Feng said a moment later.

"I understand..."

"Now, back to you..." Mei Feng returned to looking at Yuan.

"After the ceremony tomorrow, come back here. I still have more things to tell you."

"I understand."

Yuan and Mei Xiaoyun were escorted back to their living quarters, where they remained for the rest of the day.

The following morning, they were escorted to a spacious area, where every new soldier received their insignia after swearing the military’s creed.

As the highest rank of all the new soldiers, Yuan received his insignia last.

After receiving his insignia, Yuan had to place his hand into a portal machine.

<You have been enlisted into the military>

<You have been promoted to the rank of Corporal>

<Your Credential Rank has increased>

<Your status has updated>

[Name: Yuan]

[Age: ???]

[Cultivation: Ninth Level Fifth Ascension]

[Military Rank: Corporal]

[Physique: Inexhaustible Heavenly Refinement]

[Credential Rank: 4]

[Cultivation Speed: 6]

Once everyone had received their insignias, all of the soldiers except Yuan were ordered to form a formation and march to their new training grounds, where they would spend the next year.

"See you later," Yuan said to Mei Xiaoyun.

"See you in a year... if nothing happens between that time, that is," she said.

"Let’s not jinx it." Yuan chuckled. "And I’m sure your mother will have someone watch over you during training, even if she didn’t mention it."

Yuan remained until Mei Xiaoyun and the other soldiers vanished into the horizon.

"Let’s go see General Mei again," Yuan said to Sergeant Bing and Sergeant Quang.

Some time later, Yuan stood before Mei Feng again.

"First and foremost, let me congratulate you on officially joining the military," she said to him as she retrieved a piece of paper, placing it on the desk before her.

"Once you sign this, you’ll also officially join the First Division, as well as complete our contract. Any questions before you do?"

"I do, but I doubt you’ll answer them even if I asked."
