Chapter 178: Leaving the Capital (1/2)

After Cheng Yu handed over everything, under the reluctant gazes of the team members, he walked out of the training ground. Even though Cheng Yu had only told them that he was going on leave, none of them knew if they would still be able to meet this martial instructor who had earned their admiration. From the start to finish, they were not able to fully understand what Cheng Yu’s true identity was. Even Xu Ruosong was not able to understand Cheng Yu at all, because the current Cheng Yu was no longer the same Xiao Yu who had played with him when they were young. In front of him, Cheng Yu was already an outer world expert that they thought highly of and was a martial instructor worthy of their deep respect.

Cheng Yu left the training ground and headed straight to Liu Yan’s office. Even though he had already applied for leave from Xu Zhongfu, he would still need to hand over paperwork and follow some standard procedures.

“Cheng Yu? Why are you here?” Yang Ziming was inside the office. She was heading out to the washroom and happened to bump into Cheng Yu who was heading in. All of the other instructors were different from Cheng Yu. They all instructed upon theories. Other than Cheng Yu, all the other instructors would usually be in the office during office hours. When they saw Cheng Yu coming in, all of them were surprised. After Cheng Yu had become the Dragon God Squad’s martial instructor, he had never once entered their office. Only Liu Yan took a quick glance at Cheng Yu. She probably already received the news of his leave.

“Haha! I am here to apply for leave,” Cheng Yu laughed. Cheng Yu had a good impression of Yang Ziming. Although she had always been with Xu Qing, their personalities were total opposites. Yang Ziming was a lot more mature and was able to look into the overall situation. Compared to Xu Qing, it was extremely lackluster.

“Applying for leave? Are you feeling unwell?” Yang Ziming was baffled. The Dragon God Squad had only been taught for five days and Cheng Yu already wanted to apply for leave? This truly bewildered the other instructors.

“Oi, Cheng Yu. You should be dedicated to your work. You have only been teaching for a few days and you want to apply for leave? Let me tell you, Chief Instructor would definitely not approve it,” Before Cheng Yu even replied to Yang Ziming, Xu Qing jumped over and interrupted them.

“I already reported it to the higher-ups. It’s been a pleasure knowing all of you,” Cheng Yu did not pay any attention to Xu Qing and replied nonchalantly.

“It’s been a pleasure knowing all of us? What does that mean? Isn’t he just applying for leave? Why does it seem like he’s leaving for a long journey?”

However, Cheng Yu did not give them any opportunity to learn more as he headed to Liu Yan’s office.

“You have arrived,” When she saw Cheng Yu had walked over, Liu Yan said indifferently.

“En. I believe the higher-ups already talked to you about it. The duration I am leaving for will be a long time. I already planned out their training. If any of you have some spare time, you can just go over to supervise them for the afternoon. All you need to do is to not let them goof off,” Even though Cheng Yu believed in these team members, he still wished for someone to supervise them so that he can be more assured.

“Sure. I will arrange it. These are the procedures to apply for leave,” Liu Yan took out a piece of paper and gave it to Cheng Yu. Her expression and tone were indifferent as always, as if she paid no attention to anything happening around her.

“Thank you. Before I leave, I wish to tell you something. Heaven allowed you to be so pretty, but it was not to make you be so indifferent with everything. If you smile every day, I would have probably fallen for you,” Cheng Yu looked at Liu Yan and said with a smile. Liu Yan glared at Cheng Yu and did not reply. She lowered her head and continued with her work. Cheng Yu did not continue and took the envelope before leaving.

“Oi, are you really leaving?” When Xu Qing saw Liu Yan had approved of Cheng Yu’s leave, she was startled. And Cheng Yu had just left without saying a single thing as well.

“Could it be you want to elope with me?” Cheng Yu smiled. Now that he could leave, his mood had also become very relaxed. Even when he looked at Xu Qing, he felt that she looked a lot cuter than before.

“Who wants to elope with you?! How many days of leave are you taking?”

“Go and ask Chief Instructor Liu,” Cheng Yu did not elaborate and left the office.

“You…” Seeing how much dislike Cheng Yu had for her, Xu Qing’s heart was very upset. She stomped her legs on the ground ferociously. She walked to Liu Yan and asked, ”Sister Liu, why did you let that scoundrel off so easily.”

“The higher-ups already approved of his leave. What can I possibly do?” Liu Yan did not raise her head and had been staring at the document in her hands all along.

“Sister Liu, how many days of leave did he request?” Xu Qing asked curiously.

“A few months, I guess?” Actually, Liu Yan herself had no idea what kind of leave Cheng Yu requested. Because there was no end-date for his leave. She had no idea why the higher-ups approved of such an irresponsible thing, but she knew she did not have the privilege to know. Therefore, she did not bother digging into it.

“What? A few months?” Everyone was shocked. The office was only this big, so any person who spoke would definitely be heard by the others in the office. However, compared to the astonishment Xu Qing and Yang Ziming had, the other male instructors were more of delighted. There were only three women in this office. Furthermore, all of them were extremely pretty. However, that cold style of Liu Yan made them dare not approach her. They could only try their luck with Xu Qing and Yang Ziming.

But what caused them to be at a loss was that these two ladies seemed to be very interested in Cheng Yu as well. As long as the work they had in hand was not urgent, these ladies would run over to the training ground to look for Cheng Yu. This reduced the chances that the other instructors had with the girls. Everytime they wished to interact with the girls about their feelings, the girls would change the topic back to work, inadvertently rejecting their feelings. Now that Cheng Yu had left, even though they still stood no chance, they were quite happy. They believe that after a period of time passed, they would certainly stand a chance.
