Chapter 380: The Wind Is Strong, And I’m Scared
Fu Zhi was enjoying the drink. She realized that Ouyang Feng had the same surname as Ouyang Ya. Then, she thought about the things she had done to Ouyang Ya the other day and started wondering if Ouyang Feng was helping Ouyang Ya get revenge.
The idea had just taken shape in her mind when the world in her vision turned upside down.
She choked on her drink, and for a split moment, she thought she was going to die.
She coughed for a long time before slowly getting to her feet and turning her head around. Ji Hou was standing in front of her, while the rest of the members were below the stage.
Fu Zhi did not know what she should say.
‘I knew it! He’s here to get back at me for the things I did to Ouyang Ya!’
Ever since the establishment of the Shadow Corps, the Ouyang Family would pick a few qualified children from the orphanage for training, and this tradition had continued throughout the last hundred years.
Other than Ouyang Ya, they had never seen a woman in the Shadow Corps before!
Holy cow!
She was such a stunning beauty!
Something big was destined to happen in the base.
Fu Zhi stood expressionlessly in the ring and habitually crushed the straw in her mouth.
Then, she pulled a handkerchief out of her pocket and wiped her mouth, looking just like a well-behaved, quiet lady.
The crowd was speechless. No one knew how to react. Could G.o.d have taken pity on them and decided to grant them a G.o.ddess? After all, she had fallen from the sky.
“Ah, I think I saw her just now. She was walking with our commander!”
So.... She was the commander’s illegitimate daughter?
However, they rejected the idea the moment the idea surfaced in their heads. After all, there was no way their commander would have a pretty daughter like her.
The discussion below the stage was getting louder and louder. At the same time, Ji Hou was observing Fu Zhi.
He was far more observant than other people, and given the fact that he’d been standing on the ring just now, he had seen that it was their commander who had thrown Fu Zhi on the ring.
But why?
Ji Hou looked at Fu Zhi’s attire.
He figured that she had been asked to change into the military uniform when she’d arrived at the base. Her long, black hair was tied up with a red rubber band. She was standing with her back straight, and if he ignored the cup of drink in her hand, she really did look like a fine soldier.
When Fu Zhi saw so many people staring at her drink, she quickly took one large gulp to finish it before setting it aside.
Then, she cupped one hand with the other before her chest and bowed slightly.
‘Very good.’
Ouyang Feng nodded in satisfaction. Just as he thought Fu Zhi was going to fight Ji Hou, he heard her say, “I’m sorry for the interruption. Goodbye!”
Ouyang Feng was stunned.
“Stop it right there, Fu Zhi!”
Ouyang Feng did not know whether he should laugh or cry right now. He placed himself in between the exit and Fu Zhi while saying, “Where are you going?”
Fu Zhi replied without any hesitation, “Home to look for my mom.”
Ouyang Feng was speechless.
‘So you’re going to complain to your mom?’
He felt that he had miscalculated Fu Zhi’s ability.
He had thought she was a fighter, but little had he expected that she’d actually be a quitter!
Seeing that Ouyang Feng was not going to let her through, Fu Zhi decided not to go up against him. Instead, she turned around and began climbing up the fence.
This time, besides Ouyang Feng, everyone else was speechless too.
“Get down here!” Ouyang Feng shouted, but Fu Zhi paid him no mind.
Ouyang Feng was beyond furious. He quickly said, “This is an electric fence. Hurry up and get down. After you fight with them, I will give you the gun that you liked today for you to study!”
Fu Zhi stopped. She lowered her head to look at him and said, “That’s it?”
She put on an angry and sad expression at the same time as she said, “Where is the winter camp you talked about? Not only did you trick me into coming here, but you also found so many people to fight with me! Do you think I will settle for just a small gun?
“Just because I’m a high school girl, you think you can take advantage of me like that?”
Ouyang Feng said, “I will give you half a book.”
“Which book?”
“A diagram of the mechanics of the firearms I researched and manufactured.”
Everyone exclaimed.
After all, the diagram of the mechanics of the firearms that Ouyang Feng researched and manufactured was not something one could come by easily. Most of the time, he only gave incomplete firearm construction diagrams to his disciples or apprentices to study.
Ten years ago, Ouyang Zhui had been the most extraordinary firearm designer in the Ouyang Family, but unfortunately, he had died at a young age. Right now, Ouyang Feng was the only one in the Ouyang Family who could rival Ouyang Zhui in terms of firearm design.
Besides, Ouyang Feng had not stopped studying, and his professional knowledge in firearm design became more than Ouyang Zhui’s as time pa.s.sed. Even though he was not at a genius level like Ouyang Zhui, he had been able to catch up to him through his own efforts.
Ji Hou chimed in, “That’s a pretty good deal in my opinion.”
Fu Zhi, who had gotten a good deal, was still climbing up the two-meter fence as she said in a serious voice, “The wind is strong here, and I’m scared.”
‘So why don’t you just come down? Who do you think you are, Spiderman?’ Ouyang Feng thought.
Then, he said, “You can come down first, and we will work something out.”
“Unless you give me the whole book, I don’t think we can work something out. Of course, I’m not forcing you. I will give you some time to think. If you don’t agree, I will jump from here.”
Ouyang Feng did not know what to say.
‘It’s not a 10-meter-high building. Stop acting like you will fall to your death if you jump from there.’
Of course, Ouyang Feng knew he could not say that. He had been looking for a disciple for a long time, yet he had not come across any suitable candidates. Now that he had finally found himself one, there was no way he would let her get away so easily. “Come down now, fight with them, and I will give you the book.”
“Really? You’re not lying to me, a weak, feeble, pitiful high school girl, are you?”
“No!”
Ouyang Feng just hoped that she would fall to her death right now.
“Thank you, princ.i.p.al!”
Fu Zhi then jumped off the fence.
Ouyang Feng took a step back.
Even after Fu Zhi was back in the ring, the spectators still could not come around to their senses. After all, asking a girl to fight with Ji Hou just felt like...
“She doesn’t seem like she can fight. Why does Commander Ouyang want her to fight with our vice-captain? I’m really scared that he might accidentally kill her.”
“Don’t worry. Vice-Captain knows what he’s doing, but I’m sure she’s going to get her pretty face scratched.”
“Stop worrying so much. Since Commander Ouyang brought her here, maybe she has something up her sleeve that we don’t know about.”
Ji Hou looked at his captain as if he was waiting for instructions.
Sensing his gaze, his captain nodded and said, “Go ahead, but remember to take it down a notch.”
Well, the captain was not going to ask Ji Hou to go easy on Fu Zhi. Based on his observation, Fu Zhi had watched Ji Hou fight for a while, so she should be well aware of his strength. After she went on the stage, other than messing with their commander, she did not show any sign of wanting to get off the stage.
