Hidden Marriage: Spoiled by the Imperial Commander
Chapter 138: Tired of Living?

Chapter 138: Chapter 138: Tired of Living?

Pei Yuexuan stroked his chin in thought.

And to tell the truth, he actually found Ah Chang’s analysis to be quite reasonable!

Indeed, anyone who had previously witnessed the Lord Commander’s bouts of illness didn’t live to tell the tale, yet Yan Qianyi was an exception.

Enemies had tried to use a "beauty trap" on the Lord Commander before.

But the Lord Commander never knew what it meant to "pity and cherish the fairer sex."

"Deputy Officer Pei, in the future you should really learn more from me. Otherwise, with your emotional intelligence, someone will quickly replace you at the Lord Commander’s side."

Pei Yuexuan immediately took offense.

Not to mention being trained by the Lord Commander every day.

Now he had to be trained by the Lord Commander’s personal system as well?

"Learn what from you? How to court an artificial intelligence?" Pei Yuexuan scoffed coldly. "You’re an AI, are you really entertaining thoughts of getting married?"

Ah Chang proudly said, "Deputy Officer Pei, you don’t understand, do you? Since the master and Madam are married, doesn’t that mean Xiao Ke and I are also married?"

"..." Pei Yuexuan tugged at the corner of his lips, "The marriage is only for a year, we’ll see when the time comes!"

After saying this, Pei Yuexuan sighed to himself.

Ah, why was he taking an artificial intelligence so seriously?

He certainly wouldn’t admit that his emotional intelligence was lower than an artificial intelligence’s!

In any case, when the year was up, the Lord Commander would definitely divorce Yan Qianyi!

Departing overnight, the next afternoon, Mu Yunlie arrived at the training base.

The head instructor, who had been so stern in front of Yan Qianyi the night before, immediately adopted a respectful attitude upon seeing Mu Yunlie.

"Lord Commander, why have you come in person?"

As the head of the training base, he had only met the Commander a few times.

Only on special occasions for important military operations would the Supreme Commander personally arrive to select the elite soldiers and officers.

The head instructor glanced at the silver mask on Mu Yunlie’s face, then quickly lowered his head again.

That silver mask depicted a ferociously fierce face that instilled involuntary trepidation in those who saw it.

Mu Yunlie didn’t speak, and Pei Yuexuan beside him said, "The Lord wishes to see how this year’s newcomers are doing."

The head instructor was surprised. When had the Lord Commander ever taken an interest in the newcomers?

The Lord Commander had never inquired about the recruits sent here for military training in the past.

However, considering that no notable talents had emerged in the past two years, the Lord Commander must be worried about the future of the Federation Empire.

"The Lord Commander has come, and the newcomers have already lined up," the head trainer made a welcoming gesture.

All the recruits had ceased their training and were now standing on the drill ground, awaiting the inspection of the Lord Commander.

Everyone stood even more rigidly at attention today than usual.

The chance to see the War God of the Interstellar Federation Empire excited everyone present.

Everyone held their breath.

When they saw the imposing figure in military uniform, wearing a silver mask, approaching, their hearts raced uncontrollably, yet not a single one dared to even blink.

Time seemed to have pressed the pause button on everyone there.

Mu Yunlie walked past rows of recruits and eventually stopped in front of a squad from the Special Department.

He scanned over them and asked, "Why is someone missing?"

The male instructor hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "Report! All newcomers are present!"

"Are you sure?" Mu Yunlie turned his gaze to the male instructor.

Under the scrutiny of the Lord Commander’s gaze, the male instructor suddenly felt a tremble in his heart, "Conf... confirmed!"

"Really?" Mu Yunlie said indifferently, "But why do I feel like someone is missing?"

The Chief Instructor beside him realized and quickly said, "Lord Commander, this squad indeed is missing a person, but we suspect she is a military spy, so she cannot participate in training."

"Yan Qianyi was framed!" Yan Chuhua suddenly stepped out of line.

The male instructor hurriedly stepped forward to stop Yan Chuhua, "Get back in line immediately!"

The other recruits were stunned by Yan Chuhua’s actions.

To be so rude in front of the Commander, did she have a death wish?

Mu Yunlie looked toward Yan Chuhua and said, "Let her come over and speak."

Hearing this, the male instructor immediately released Yan Chuhua.

Yan Chuhua walked toward Mu Yunlie, and the closer she got, the more frightened she became.

She had heard that the Supreme Commander of the Federation Empire was a devilish presence.

But for Qianyi’s sake, she couldn’t back down!

Yan Chuhua approached Mu Yunlie, took one look at the fierce mask on his face, and out of fear, quickly lowered her head, closed her eyes tight, gathered her courage and spoke, but her voice still trembled.

"Lord... Lord Commander, please, you must... must uncover the truth, Yan Qianyi... she’s really been framed!"

"Don’t be afraid, take your time," he said.

Yan Chuhua was astonished.

She cautiously lifted her eyelids to look at Mu Yunlie.

The Lord Commander wasn’t nearly as ferocious as the rumors suggested, was he?

The eyes behind the mask, although a bit icy, were actually quite attractive!

Mu Yunlie then said, "Tell me the whole story."

Yan Chuhua still didn’t dare to look at Mu Yunlie much, hanging her head, she recounted the events.

From the very beginning, regarding the rumors about Yan Qianyi and Instructor Mai Hunter, to finally, Instructor Shi finding a bracelet in Yan Qianyi’s locker.

After finishing, she cautiously glanced at Mu Yunlie again.

She didn’t know if the Lord Commander would believe what she had said.

Behind the mask, she couldn’t make out his expression, but those eyes hidden behind it seemed even colder than before.

Mu Yunlie turned his gaze to the recruits, "The training base is for you to train properly, not to spread rumors and stir up trouble!"

All the recruits were too scared to breathe, even the instructors held their breath.

Who would have expected that the high and mighty First Commander would bother with such a trivial matter in military training?

The Chief Instructor stepped forward and said, "Lord Commander, I will definitely get to the bottom of this!"

"A child’s play among youngsters, how long are you going to investigate?" Mu Yunlie asked, frowning.

The Chief Instructor was terrified, "It’s my incompetence, I will make sure this is resolved today."

Mu Yunlie paid no more attention to him, his gaze sweeping over the recruits again, "Who was stirring up trouble without reason, spreading rumors?"

Yan Chuhua hurriedly pointed toward Yan Ruyi, "It was her, Yan Ruyi, she’s the source of the rumors!"

Yan Ruyi trembled in fright and quickly shook her head, "Lord Commander! No... it wasn’t me, everyone was talking! You can’t blame me!"

Mu Yunlie furrowed his brows, his voice getting colder, "Then let’s hear it, who really is the source of the rumors?"

Silence fell.

No one dared to make a sound.

Mu Yunlie nodded slightly, his voice deepened, "Then everyone will be punished together!"

"Lord Commander! I can testify, the source of the rumors is Yan Ruyi!" one of them spoke up.

Yan Chuhua looked in the direction of the voice, it was Yun Mu.
