C231 Variable or invariant (2/2)
”Look, it's all your fault. You want me to lose my dignity in front of your subordinates?” Chang Jing did not forget to complain before she left, ”We've made an agreement, you'll have to treat us when we get to Feng Yue!”
”Of course!” Jin Tian was so happy that he ran far away.
After riding on her horse for a while, Chang Jing arrived at the front of the group.
”Greetings, General!”
”There's no need to be so courteous,” Chang Jing immediately got down to the main topic, ”After this day of pondering, do you all have any idea how to choose a magic array candidate?”
”According to General's orders, we have already drawn up the list,” Ken, one of the deputy generals handed a list over to Chang Jing, ”The people up there all have solid foundations, and the ones with weaker individual combat abilities are just in line with your requirements!”
”Mn, let me see,” Chang Jing read the names one by one. When she saw the last two names, her face suddenly sank as she asked, ”Are you sure that you did what I told you to do? Then why are these two names on there?!”
Ken stuck his head out and saw that the two names were added by himself later on. He replied calmly, ”Since magic array members need solid cohesion, which is to say, they need someone with strong organizational skills and affinity to command them, this subordinate specifically added the two names — would sire agree on that?”
”Have they really grown up?” Chang Jing looked at the two names in her hands and muttered to herself, ”It looks like when I was gone for the past few years, they suffered greatly …”
Seeing him so absorbed, Ken had to remind him, ”General! ”General!”
”Oh, I lost my composure.” Chang Jing regained her senses and laughed, ”Then I will look for your intentions and do as you say, the two of them will be directly under your command!”
”Yes, sir!”
In the center of the group, Qing He saw Ka Buyi walking in the front and could not help but run forward.
”What's wrong? Are you not feeling well?”
”No …” Ka Buyi indifferently replied, then suddenly asked her, ”Sister Qing He, do you think humans are really changeable animals?”
”Heh, why would you ask that?” Qing He was puzzled, ”Did he say something to you?”
Ka Buyi did not say a word, and did not comment.
”If it was him, I believe he wouldn't have changed.” Qing He seemed to have guessed something, and said firmly, ”This world will change too many things, but I believe in him, I believe that he will never change — if even he has changed, what else in this world can we trust?”
”But he said he had a new lover!”
A muffled thunder rumbled in Qing He's heart, exploding in such a manner that she could barely stand.
”No, I won't!” She shook her head. ”He must have had a problem with that. That must be it!”
”We're all too stupid …” Ka Buyi slowly turned her head, his eyes filled with tears, ”I'm really too stupid, to actually wait so long, I waited willingly!”
Qing He was not like Ka Buyi, she was a very ”intrinsic” girl, once he acknowledged something as it was true, it would be very hard to change anything. He was speechless facing Ka Buyi, and could only shake her head and mutter to herself, No way.
Just then, herald ran over.
”Captain, vice general Ken invites you and Captain Qing He over!”
”Oh, okay. We'll be there right away.” Ka Buyi tidied up his makeup and said to Qing He, ”Let's not think about this for now, we'll talk after we get there.”
”Alright …”
The two of them were brought to where Ken was. By this time, Chang Jing had already returned.
”General, are you looking for us?”
”Yes,” Ken said to them both, smiling. ”Do you know why I'm looking for you?”
The two girls shook their heads.
”I heard that we are forming a team of magic array?” Ken did not know the relationship between the two girls and Chang Jing, and directly said, ”The General has already appointed the two of you as his Commander, responsible for nurturing the tacit understanding and cohesion of the team members. As long as you are responsible to the General and me, you can ignore everyone else!”
”General?” The two girls opened their eyes wide and asked, ”Are you saying that this was General Chang Jingye's idea?”
”Hehe,” he laughed out loud, ”Of course it's Master Chang Jingye. For Master to have such an achievement at such a young age, he is truly a role model for us to learn! And he's going to do it himself — then he'll come personally to guide your training! ”
With that, he handed the two women an appointment letter and encouraged them, ”Follow the general well. The rest of you are under the rule of this young man!”
The two girls, because of Ken's unintentional words, completely abandoned their previous thoughts, and happily replied, ”Yes!”
The speaker had no intentions, the listener had no intentions — another misunderstanding had formed. However, they did not know if Chang Jing and the other two had a good or bad relationship with each other …
