Chapter 118 Public revenge and private revenge
"Sister Yulan, the weather is nice today. Let me take you for a walk in the mountains. It'll be a good way for you to get some exercise," Xia Zhi said to Bai Yulan beside her with a bright smile.

Bai Yulan smiled slightly and nodded gently. Her soft hair swayed gently with her movements as she followed Xia Zhi with light steps, heading up the mountain together.

Once on the mountain, Xia Zhi was full of energy, teasing the monkeys as usual, and occasionally digging up some herbs and picking up other things.

Bai Yulan looked around with great interest; every blade of grass, every tree, every flower, and every stone on the mountain was full of novelty to her.

A gentle breeze, carrying the fresh scent unique to the mountains and forests, stirred her hair.

The two walked through the woods for a while before finally sitting down on a shady patch of grass.

Xia Zhi tilted her head slightly, her eyes full of curiosity, and couldn't help but ask, "By the way, Sister Yulan, is Qin Beishan your fiancé?"

Upon hearing this question, Bai Yulan's usually calm face flashed with surprise. She paused for a moment, then shook her head and said softly, "No, it's just that our two families have some connections."

Xia Zhi nodded thoughtfully, then asked, "Did you know he came to the military base?"

"Huh?" Bai Yulan looked up in surprise, her eyes full of doubt and confusion, clearly unaware of the matter.

“He came to the army a few days ago. I thought you knew all this time.” Xia Zhi said, gently brushing aside the grass beside her.

Bai Yulan shook her head again, her tone tinged with helplessness: "I was either practicing Tai Chi downstairs, eating, or taking my medicine. I didn't go anywhere except when you called me."

The thought that Qin Beishan had actually come made Bai Yulan feel inexplicably uneasy, and she subconsciously tugged at the grass next to her.

Qin Beishan has always liked to bully her since she was a child. Although he wasn't always too unreasonable, it was still very difficult to deal with him.

Xia Zhi turned to look at the worry on her face and quickly comforted her, "Don't worry, Sister Yulan, he doesn't have time to bother you."

Bai Yulan nodded with some skepticism, thinking to herself that this was indeed the military base, not a place where he could throw a tantrum.

Xia Zhi smiled. If she remembered correctly, Lu Beiting didn't go on patrol today.

Under the blazing sun, the training ground was bathed in unobstructed sunlight.

Qin Beishan was lying on the ground, his whole body soaked in sweat. Large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead and dripped onto the dry ground, disappearing instantly.

He struggled to do push-ups, each movement appearing extremely difficult.

Beside him, Lu Beiting stood with his arms crossed, his posture as upright as a pine tree, his face serious.

"Young Master Qin is tired? Your stamina doesn't look very good. How can you still climb mountains?" Lu Beiting said with a slight upturn of his lips, carrying a hint of teasing.

Qin Beishan's face flushed red. He raised his head, his eyes filled with resentment, and shouted, "Lu Beiting, who do you think you are!" He thought to himself, "It's just climbing a mountain. What's so hard about that?"

Lu Beiting smiled slightly, but there was a deeper meaning in that smile: "Looks like you still have energy, then let's add two hundred more."

Upon hearing this, Qin Beishan nearly fainted from anger. He glared at Lu Beiting through gritted teeth, but there was nothing he could do.

Zhang Yi stood aside, watching this scene, and silently mourned for Qin Beishan.

This kid is really pitiful.

Qin Beishan scrambled to his feet, clenched his fists, and said angrily, "Lu Beiting, you're using this to settle a personal score!"

Lu Beiting remained calm, glanced at him indifferently, and said in a slow and unhurried tone, "If I wanted to settle a personal score, would you still be standing here talking to me?"

"If Young Master Qin feels it's inappropriate, he can apply to go back." Upon hearing this, Qin Beishan choked. Although he was extremely unwilling, he had already come all this way, and he was not going to go back so easily.

So, he angrily lay down again and continued doing push-ups.

Lu Beiting looked at him for a few seconds, then turned and led Zhang Yi elsewhere.

"Battalion Commander, the commander has asked you to personally lead Qin Beishan. Qin Beishan seems alright; I thought he was some stubborn, unruly brat."

Zhang Yi followed Lu Beiting step by step, talking curiously.

Qin Beishan is no ordinary person. I thought he would be a troublemaker and difficult to manage, but I didn't expect him to be so obedient. He just had a bunch of new recruits as his followers.

"Let me take him, but I'll have to see if he's qualified." Lu Beiting said, glancing up at the mountain. The sun was already setting, and the sky was tinged with orange-red sunset clouds.

The sun is about to set, and his wife is coming home.

"Keep an eye on things, I'm going back to cook."

"Huh?" Zhang Yi was surprised to hear this. He looked at the battalion commander who was walking away and shook his head helplessly. He had no choice but to turn back and continue to keep an eye on Qin Beishan's training.

After finishing his push-ups, Qin Beishan struggled to stand up, his whole body aching and his legs trembling uncontrollably.

He looked around and found that Lu Beiting was nowhere to be seen. Filled with anger, he snorted and began to move his feet slowly and laboriously, supporting himself against the wall.

Upon arriving, Zhang Yi noticed Qin Beishan's disheveled state and couldn't help but cough twice, asking with concern, "Ahem, Qin Beishan, are you alright?"

Upon hearing Zhang Yi's voice, Qin Beishan straightened up instantly. Despite the unbearable soreness all over his body, he still forced himself to remain calm and said, "It's fine."

He then gritted his teeth, endured the pain, and quickly left, not wanting to show his weakness to others.

After Xia Zhi returned to the army with the white magnolia, she handed the herbs directly to Lu Yan'an.

As soon as she came out of the room, she saw Qin Beishan grinning and contorting his body in the corner.

"Ah! Lu Beiting, you petty man who uses his position for personal revenge, damn it, it hurts so much!" Qin Beishan groaned in pain as he twisted his body, trying to relieve the soreness.

He was about to turn around and go back to his dormitory when he turned around and saw Xia Zhi and Bai Yulan behind him.

Qin Beishan froze instantly, his face turning pale and then red, feeling extremely annoyed. Perhaps he thought Lu Beiting was right; he really should have applied to go back.

At that moment, he felt utterly humiliated.

His gaze slowly fell on Bai Yulan. The two hadn't seen each other for a long time since they last parted.

He had been trying to avoid her these past few days, but he never expected to be caught in such a disheveled state by her today.

Qin Beishan looked Bai Yulan up and down and found that although her skin was a bit dark, she looked much more energetic.

It seems Xia Zhi really does have some skills.

"Qin Beishan, what's wrong with you?" Xia Zhi suppressed a laugh, deliberately asking him a question she already knew the answer to.

Qin Beishan glared at her fiercely and said irritably, "What else could it be? It's all thanks to Lu Beiting, humph!"

After saying that, he leaned against the wall, completely exhausted. Lu Beiting was too ruthless; he had tormented him all day.
