601 Ping City 3

\"You must be Ji Fengyan. Already a General? Your good reputation precedes you. Never expected to be able to meet such a national hero. It is truly my honor.\" The middle-aged man approached Ji Fengyan in welcome. His smile was vibrant, but he walked with a slight limp.

Ji Fengyan looked at the approaching middle-aged man with a faint smile. \"You flatter me. I suppose you are City Lord Song? I beg your indulgence.\"

The current City Lord of Ping City was Song Yuan. He was once a fearsome General in the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon. Although not a Terminator, he had displayed comparable prowess on the battlefield. If not for the chronic injury in his leg, he would still serve in the army.

One should not be fooled by Song Yuan's energetic manner—he was already 65 years of age.

\"General Ji is really too humble. Her glorious victory in the capital institute battle was obvious for all to see. Even His Majesty had specially commended your achievements. If not for General Ji's efforts at the capital institute who knows how many more lives would have been lost,\" said Song Yuan with a smile.

Lu Shaoqing was shocked by Song Yuan's words.

The capital institute?

Although Lu Shaoqing had been stationed at the Moonset Valley throughout his military career, he was still rather up-to-date on news regarding the capital. He had heard about the demon attack on the capital institute from several sources.

However, Lu Shaoqing only had a rough understanding of the incident. He had heard that it was an intense battle with many fatalities and injuries—even the capital institute director had died in the line of duty. Just as they lost all hope, a Terminator student had stepped up and turned around the situation, fighting alongside the heir of the premier Terminator family. Together, they had held back the demons' attack until the Grand Tutor arrived with reinforcements.

Lu Shaoqing had been full of emotions when he heard about the exploits of this young hero—never did he know that it was actually Ji Fengyan!

At this, Lu Shaoqing finally understood why Ji Fengyan was made a General despite her young age.

If that was the case…

If she had rescued over a thousand capital institute students, then… age was no longer an accurate measure of Ji Fengyan's abilities. She was definitely qualified to be in her current post!

Lu Shaoqing's inner heart was in a turmoil after hearing this news. His respect for Ji Fengyan had increased exponentially.

And it was not just Lu Shaoqing alone—the group of Wolf Smoke Regiment soldiers standing behind him had also more or less heard of the capital institute incident.

It was just that…

They had never dreamed that the much-admired hero who saved the day—was actually… their very own little General?

Several of the new soldiers felt like crawling into a hole in the ground when they recalled the way they disregarded Ji Fengyan's position when she first arrived.

Ji Fengyan was unaware of the impact that Song Yuan's words had on her own military advisor and troops. She told Song Yuan, \"I will be at a loss for words if City Lord Song continues praising me like that.\"

Song Yuan laughed. \"I have been rude. Would General Ji please enter my residence and let me do my best as your host.\"

Ji Fengyan nodded and entered the city lord's residence with the two Han brothers in two, followed by Lu Shaoqing and Linghe. The Wolf Smoke Regiment soldiers remained in a daze outside. They got teary-eyed as they watched the back profile of their General.

Our General is truly a capable, yet humble person; Not even a single mention of her having accomplished such an astounding triumph.
