Hearing the sound of footsteps and seeing Wei Ruo arrive, the wet nurse quickly wiped away her tears.

“Ruoruo!” Xu Zhengyong greeted with a radiant smile.

Wei Ruo didn’t reply, instead she gave him a careful once-over from head to toe.

“Stop worrying, Ruoruo, I’m fine, I haven’t been injured. I’m pretty tough, all the fights I had growing up weren’t for nothing, nor was the martial arts training from our master. And the crossbow you gave me, it’s incredibly powerful!”

“Our crossbowmen rained down arrows on them. Before they could even get close, a good number of them had already perished. When the melee started, they were already weakened. Plus, I was so fierce, those short and stubby Japanese couldn’t even touch a hair on my head!”

To prove to Wei Ruo that he was perfectly fine, Xu Zhengyong demonstrated a few moves on the spot and even did a backflip.

“Alright, alright, stop flipping around, lest you get injured at home instead of on the battlefield while showing off!” Xiumei interrupted Xu Zhengyong a little impatiently.

“Hehe…Meimei, you’ll have to call me senior brother in the future, right?” Xu Zhengyong didn’t forget about this.

“In your dreams! You’ve just fought one battle! Don’t you know you need to stay injury-free for at least three to five years to prove your worth?” Xiumei retorted promptly.

“Three to five years? Isn’t that too long?” Xu Zhengyong pouted.

“Too long? You think being a soldier is a two-day affair? When you chose this path, you should have known that this is almost a lifelong commitment, being safe for three to five years is probably even considered a lesser requirement!” “Alright, alright, I won’t fuss with you about it. Three to five years it is. Sooner or later, you will willingly call me ‘senior brother’!”

Xu Zhengyong responded confidently.

Then he began boastfully sharing his thoughts and experiences with Wei Ruo as if he were showing off a trophy.

“Ruoruo, I’m about to get promoted!”

“Really?”

“Of course it’s true, The Seventh Prince promised it personally!” Xu Zhengyong said then whispered, “They don’t let it be known that he is the Seventh Prince. I am telling you guys secretly, don’t let it go further!”

On hearing this, both Wei Ruo and Xiumei rolled their eyes.

“Brother Xiaoyong, don’t share such secrets with us in the future. If it’s not supposed to be known, then don’t say it,” Wei Ruo said.

“But you guys aren’t outsiders! One of you is my sister and the other my junior sister. I don’t have anything I can’t tell you.” Xu Zhengyong didn’t take it seriously.

“No, it’s not appropriate. The army is not like anywhere else. The rules that should be observed must be observed. Military orders are as unyielding as mountains, even if it involves parents, siblings, it doesn’t matter.” Wei Ruo said with a stern expression.

“That’s right, the young lady is correct, you better listen to her!” The wet nurse echoed.

“Alright, alright, I’ll be careful next time.” Xu Zhengyong repeatedly agreed. Even his mother had spoken up. If he didn’t agree, his dad’s fist might land on him.

“What position has the Seventh Prince promised you?” Wei Ruo asked.
