I Got Together With the Fake Heiress - Chapter 71

Wen Yunqing merely smiled upon hearing this; she was not concerned with trivial and fleeting fame like “most beautiful” or “most handsome.” After all, she already had a girlfriend. Her current focus was on deciding what to stock in the small refrigerator she had just acquired.

“Yimeng, what kind of juice do you like to drink? Orange, watermelon, or mango?” When Wen Yunqing made the request, she asked for a small refrigerator, and the instructors truly delivered a small refrigerator. Its capacity was only about 20 liters, so even if maximized, it could probably only benefit four people.

“They all sound good. How about we get a bit of everything?” Wen Yimeng’s attention was also drawn back. “Most beautiful” and “most handsome” couldn’t compare to a glass of iced juice during military training!

“We could prepare some ice cubes and then make fresh-squeezed juice on the spot,” Liang Shiyou suggested from the side.

Since this small refrigerator could benefit four people, Wen Yunqing naturally chose to share it with the four people in her dorm room.

Wen Yunqing nodded and turned to Zhang Pan. “Student Zhang, what flavor do you prefer?”

Zhang Pan pursed her lips. “Plain mineral water is fine for me.”

“That’s great, too. No sugar content, so it’s even healthier,” Liang Shiyou said with a smile.

On the second day of training, Wen Yunqing continued to be the carrot dangling in front of the students. After understanding the situation, Supervisor Lu Zhining simply divided her own supervisory tasks with Wen Yunqing, instructing her to check in with the female companies often and assist the instructors.

Military boxing was manageable for the girls to learn, but self-defense and grappling required some physical contact, which made Wen Yunqing, as a female, significantly more suitable than the male instructors.

Wen Yunqing did not refuse. It was quite useful for female university students to learn more self-defense techniques; if mastered, it might potentially save their lives in a critical moment.

“Excellent! Supervisor Lu is amazing!” A round of cheers erupted as Wen Yunqing wandered over to the College of Science’s training area.

“Thank you for the compliment.” Lu Zhining adjusted her cap and reached out to pull the instructor up from the ground.

When her peripheral vision caught sight of Wen Yunqing nearby, Lu Zhining raised her hand and waved at her. “Student Wen, why aren’t you training with your own company?”

“The Chief Supervisor asked me to see if other female companies needed guidance, so he had me come over to stroll around,” Wen Yunqing replied. As her gaze swept over the female company, it paused for a moment.

Zhou Jun was here. It seemed this was the joint female company for the Physics and Astronomy majors. No wonder Lu Zhining was here.

“Perfect. Let’s spar together,” Lu Zhining invited Wen Yunqing to come over, then turned to the female company. “Didn’t you just ask whether I or Student Wen was better? Now you have the chance to witness the answer firsthand.”

“Great! Supervisor Lu, we support you! You can take down the instructor, too!” Lu Zhining got along quite well with the girls in the company. As soon as they heard she wanted to spar with Wen Yunqing, they began to cheer for her.

“Supervisor Lu, do you really want to spar with me?” Wen Yunqing raised an eyebrow. Lu Zhining seemed too indulgent of her students. Or was this a case of loving the house and the crow?

“Yes,” Lu Zhining nodded and said softly, “It’s also a good way to prove to them that I’m not the only female supervisor who can beat an instructor. Don’t hold back later. Make the fight intense, so they can witness something impressive.”

Wen Yunqing understood. Lu Zhining wanted to correct some of the girls’ perceptions and break some ingrained biases. Although males possess a natural advantage in physical strength, if females are truly dedicated and train hard, they can still defeat most men.

Both Wen Yunqing and Lu Zhining possessed ling qi (spiritual energy). Although their cultivation levels were not equal, their physical conditions were far superior to ordinary people. With them reaching a consensus, this sparring session would become highly spectacular.

Amidst gasps and exclamations from the female company, many unbelievable maneuvers were executed by the pair. To create a visually impactful scene for the students, Lu Zhining even produced two wooden staffs and demonstrated staff techniques.

Wen Yunqing was noticeably more unrestrained while fighting Lu Zhining. By the end, she even managed to impossibly block Lu Zhining’s wooden staff with her forearm.

Just as the girls in the company worried about Wen Yunqing getting injured, the wooden staff hitting her arm broke first, causing them to widen their eyes again and silently yell a ‘Holy Cow!’ in their hearts.

Amazing! Could women really be this strong?! She broke a wooden staff! And she acted as if nothing happened!

The sparring match between Wen Yunqing and Lu Zhining was declared a draw. Seeing the students stunned into silence, Lu Zhining wore a satisfied smile.

“See? You can become strong through training. It has nothing to do with gender. Although you can’t be as powerful as Student Wen and me, if you study Sanda for a few years, you can also take down an average adult male.”

Lu Zhining began to guide the students’ way of thinking, encouraging them to be braver while ensuring their safety. If they were constantly worried about accidents, they should make themselves stronger. That was more useful than relying on others to rescue them.

The intensified training of the second week also concluded on the sixth day. Like the previous week, after morning exercise on the seventh day, the instructor announced a day of rest, requiring only that they return before curfew.

It went without saying that Wen Yunqing and Wen Yimeng’s plans were similar to last time. They first got a full-body massage, then began searching for delicious food in the capital city, spending most of the day sightseeing and eating.

Around five o’clock, Lu Zhining called, her tone apologetic. “I really shouldn’t be disturbing you at this hour, but headquarters issued a directive asking you to come over.”

“Headquarters?” Wen Yunqing raised an eyebrow. “I’m with Yimeng. It’s not safe for her to go back alone.”

“I already checked for you. Student Yimeng is now listed as a team member under your name and is technically part of the Special Affairs Department. She can come along,” Lu Zhining quickly provided the answer.

“Wait, since when did I have team members?” Wen Yunqing noticed something was off. “You guys haven’t been doing things behind my back, have you?”

“Huh? You didn’t know?” Lu Zhining on the other end of the line was also stunned. “Didn’t you say the Ju Ling Fu (Spirit Gathering Talisman) was made by you, and later you subdued Huang Shu, making him send that Tian Lei Fu (Heavenly Thunder Talisman) to Mu Kuan?”

“Yes, I did those things. But how does that relate to me having team members?” Wen Yunqing felt there must be a significant information gap between her and Lu Zhining.

As expected, after Lu Zhining asked her to hold on, there was silence for a full minute before she replied. “This is a failing in our work handover. I thought Mu Kuan had already told you everything, so I didn’t bring it up.”

“To put it simply, this new batch of people is now your subordinate team. There are six people in total. You are now the Captain of the Third Squadron of the Capital City Special Affairs Department.”

“To clarify, Mu Kuan serves concurrently as the Captain of the First Squadron, I am the Captain of the Second Squadron, and you are the Third,” Lu Zhining explained briefly. “Currently, Yimeng and Zhou Jun are both listed as team members under your name.”

Wen Yunqing frowned upon hearing this, but quickly relaxed. Fine. Having people under her command meant she wouldn’t have to handle everything personally in the future.

“If I bring Yimeng, can you guarantee her safety?” Wen Yunqing asked. “I don’t want Yimeng to get implicated in certain matters.”

Lu Zhining chuckled on the other end of the phone, then said, “Don’t worry. Although these people are troublemakers, we’ve conducted investigations. You don’t need to worry about internal issues; they’ve all signed contracts.”

Only after receiving Lu Zhining’s firm assurance did Wen Yunqing agree.

“I can go to the Special Affairs Department too?” Wen Yimeng was very surprised when she heard. “Are there actual demons inside? Is it really okay for me to go in?”

“It’s fine, Yimeng. Haven’t you also learned several kinds of talismans? Technically, you are also someone with special abilities,” Wen Yunqing said. “This time, we are just going to check out the place. It’s nothing serious.”

To show her commitment, Lu Zhining acted as their driver, personally driving over to bring both Wen Yunqing and Wen Yimeng to the Special Affairs Department.

“I’ve already registered your fingerprints, and here are your identification documents. You can show them to relevant departments when necessary. People in the public prosecution, legal, and judicial sectors generally know about our Special Affairs Department,” Lu Zhining handed the pre-prepared IDs to both of them.

The moment Wen Yunqing walked into the office assigned to her, Huang Shu appeared. He immediately started playing the sentiment card. “Boss, long time no see! I missed you so much, Boss!”

“Yes, it has been a while,” Wen Yunqing maintained some composure in the presence of her girlfriend. “Where are my other team members? Is it convenient for us to get acquainted?”

“Convenient, of course, it’s convenient! They are waiting outside for you.” Huang Shu said, promptly ushering the five people waiting at the door inside and introducing them one by one.

There was Xiong Dan, a demon cultivator; Yu Qi, a former association member who had smartened up after being disciplined by the Tian Lei Fu; and the remaining three rogue cultivators—two men and one woman—named Sun Shan, Li Si, and Wu Jin.

“Since you are my team members, I hope you can obey my arrangements. Do you have any objections to this?” Wen Yunqing asked with a gentle smile.

The two demons and four people present had either directly or indirectly witnessed the power of the Tian Lei Fu. Hearing Wen Yunqing’s words, they nodded in unison. “Obey! We fully obey the arrangements of Captain Boss!”

Wen Yunqing’s seemingly benevolent gaze swept over the six people. When she confirmed that none of them harbored any ill intentions, the smile on her face became much more genuine.

“I am young and don’t know many things, but I can only offer one Ju Ling Fu as a reward every quarter, giving it for free to the best-performing person for that quarter.”

Giving a carrot after the stick—although this principle was simple, it was effective enough.

Look, as soon as she finished speaking, the eyes of the six individuals below began to shine, and their attitude toward her as their Captain became even more sincere.

“This is my girlfriend, and the most important person to me. If she ever needs your help with anything…” Wen Yunqing introduced her appropriately.

“So this is our Vice-Captain! I will definitely follow Vice-Captain’s instructions!” Huang Shu, if nothing else, had quick reactions.

“Vice-Captain, I’m Xiong Dan. If you need anything, just come to me!” The others also refused to be outdone.

Just like that, before Wen Yimeng fully grasped the situation, she became the Vice-Captain of the Third Squadron and added a circle of people on WeChat.

Just as Wen Yunqing was satisfied and planning to leave, Lu Zhining reappeared with an apologetic look. “We have a job.”
