After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 755

Chapter 755: Training Begins
“How many times do I have to say this? I can earn the merits myself. Ancestral Master, you’re not allowed to touch my dad and uncle’s merits,” Zhouzhou muttered.

Hearing this, Ancestral Master felt a bit disgruntled and kicked his legs in frustration.

“Rely on you? You set up a stall for a few days and then went off to do other things. You’re such a fickle person. I doubt it if I’ll ever get my golden body restored,” he said, shaking his fist against his chest and feigning tears. “Why is my life so hard?”

Seeing this, Zhouzhou was startled and anxiously started to pace.

“Oh no, Ancestral Master, don’t cry.”

“You said I’m the once-in-a-century genius of Sanqing Temple, didn’t you? Do you still not believe in my abilities?”

“Besides, I’m now worth a hundred billion. In the future, I won’t be a small rich lady; I’ll be a big, big wealthy lady.”

“If you had ten more like me, I could restore your golden body!”

Bragging.

Ancestral Master sneered, wiping his dry eyes. “Forget it. Just grow up quickly and earn more Protective Light of the Nation. Remember to share some with me.”

“Okay, okay!” This time, Zhouzhou was unusually generous. She gently touched Ancestral Master’s foot and said with a bit of regret, “Ancestral Master, thank you so much this time. Rest assured, I will definitely be good and filial to you in the future.”

“That’s more like it.”

Ancestral Master’s frustration was soothed by Zhouzhou’s words. He nodded in satisfaction.

“As long as you understand.”

“Yes, I understand. I’ll remember to divide the Protective Light of the Nation into three parts in the future: Ancestral Master, Dad, and Uncle. You’ll each get a share.”

“That’s Protective Light of the Nation, not just ordinary merits light. In the future, when Ancestral Master stands there, you’ll be the brightest Ancestral Master ever, unmatched by any other Daoist temples.”

Imagining that scene, Ancestral Master couldn’t help but smile broadly.

Meanwhile, Xi Mo raised an eyebrow.

Zhouzhou’s ability to paint such a grand picture was impressive.

There was no way around it; she learned it from them.

Every day, they kept painting big pictures for her, saying she would grow up, but she never seemed to.

Life was so tough that she could only get through it by dreaming.

After comforting Ancestral Master, Zhouzhou sighed with relief and got back on the plane, heading toward the training base.

This time, it wasn’t on an island but on land.

After getting off the plane, Zhouzhou followed Xi Mo into his car, which drove for more than an hour before stopping at a location.

Throughout the journey, there were no signs of any residents. However, the surroundings were highly guarded, with numerous soldiers stationed everywhere, their eyes sharp and alert, quite different from usual.

Zhouzhou, who had slept through their arrival yesterday, now had wide, curious eyes, unable to look away.

Xi Mo noticed her and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Uncle, these uncles look so impressive,” Zhouzhou marveled.

Although they hadn’t sparred yet, just observing their demeanor showed that they were no ordinary people. They must be extremely skilled.

“Hahaha.” Before Xi Mo could respond, a hearty laugh came from inside the vehicle.

The Commander approached Zhouzhou with a smile and asked, “Little girl, do you want to come work for me?”

“No,” Zhouzhou replied immediately without hesitation. “I want to stay with my dad.”

Another refusal.

The Commander wasn’t discouraged and patted Xi Mo on the shoulder, signaling him to step up his game and win Zhouzhou over.

Seeing the Commander’s expression, Xi Mo felt speechless.

He thought the Commander should give up on this idea.

Moreover, given the military’s strict discipline, Zhouzhou, who seemed to care more about money than anything else, might end up being just as stubborn as Ye Lingfeng when she grew up.

Isn’t it said that daughters are like their fathers?

If she made a mistake in the future, deducting a bit of money would surely make her run away from home three times a day, rushing back into the Fourth Bureau’s embrace.

Why go through all this trouble?

Unfortunately, understanding this didn’t stop the Commander from being stubborn.

Such a promising candidate, who could resist being envious?

Just then, another car arrived. Before the door opened, a head popped out from inside, shouting, “Boss!”

Hearing the familiar voice, Zhouzhou quickly turned her head and exclaimed, “Skinny Monkey Uncle, why are you here?”

Soon, Xiang Chong, Cui Kun, and Lu Shi also emerged from the car. They were all from the Wealthy Alliance.

Skinny Monkey cheerfully said, “Captain Ye said the boss is doing intensive training here, so he sent us along to make sure we don’t hold back the boss during missions.”

“Hmph.” The Commander snorted from his nose, displeased. “I bet it’s Zhao Xinghua who sent you to keep an eye on me.”

That was indeed the case, but it couldn’t be admitted.

Skinny Monkey grinned and played dumb.

“What are you talking about, Commander? We’re all one big family in the Fourth Bureau, all brothers. How could Director Zhao do that?”

The Commander scoffed and rolled his eyes, too lazy to listen to their nonsense.

After a few seconds, he became serious again. “It’s good that you’re here. Teamwork and coordination are important, so you’ll join in.”

“Xi Mo, you’ll be the head coach this time. Adjust the training plan.”

Originally, the plan was only for Zhouzhou.

Since they were here, teamwork needed to be trained as well.

“Understood.” Xi Mo gave a formal salute.

The Commander nodded and left; he had other matters to attend to.

Xi Mo turned to Zhouzhou and the others and said, “Form up!”

Zhouzhou looked at him in confusion, not understanding what he meant.

It was Skinny Monkey who helped her to the front and made her stand on the far left, while the others aligned with her.

So this is what forming up means.

Zhouzhou suddenly understood.

She glanced at the people around her.

Skinny Monkey, Lu Shi, Cui Kun, Xiang Chong.

In order: from lowest to highest.

She was the first.

Instantly, Zhouzhou’s lips pouted. She wished she had brought the Goldbar with her; it would carry her and make her the highest wherever she went!

“Zhouzhou, stop looking around,” Xi Mo said, his tone still firm, though gentler than usual.

Since the training had begun, there were no relatives here, only instructor and trainee.

Zhouzhou sensed the change in his demeanor and immediately stood properly, no longer looking around.

Xi Mo nodded in satisfaction and said, “From today, I’m your instructor. All training will follow my orders.”

“Now, start by running ten laps around the outer path.”

“Run at your fastest speed. The last person to finish will run three extra laps.”

“Alright, everyone, left turn, start.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhouzhou shot out like an arrow.

Skinny Monkey saw this and hurriedly reminded, “Boss, you shouldn’t push yourself too hard at the start of a long run. Save your strength.”

A few minutes later, Zhouzhou completed a lap and caught up with Skinny Monkey.

She tilted her head and asked, “Skinny Monkey Uncle, why should we save our strength?”

Seeing her face not flushed and not out of breath, Skinny Monkey could only respond with a silent look of disbelief.
