And the fruit trees that Situ Xin planted later on began to bear fruit. This allowed Situ Xin to enjoy different varieties every day, bringing her infinite satisfaction. The Situ Family, the Loo Family, and even the Xiao and Deng Families also shared the bounty, getting to savor delicious fruits nearly every day. Of course, the fruits given to the Xiao and Deng Families were common and unremarkable ones.

The little chicks and ducklings in the space were growing up strong, much to Baibai’s daily anticipation. When Baibai felt that the chickens and ducks were ready to be eaten, she called Situ Xin over, insisting on having one to nourish herself.

Situ Xin had no choice but to slaughter a chicken and stewed it with mushrooms in the space to satisfy both her and Baibai’s cravings. And indeed, the quality and flavor of the produce from this space was truly incomparable.

The degree of its deliciousness was evident from the way Situ Xin and Baibai devoured their meal.

In the blink of an eye, the start of the school term was fast approaching. Counting the days, Situ Jin, Yu Qihao, and the others who were sent off to the military were also due to return.

As Situ Xin sat on the sofa downstairs, lost in thought, she heard a familiar voice, "Baby, I’m back, did you miss me?"

Upon hearing the voice, Situ Xin turned around and was startled by the two people who entered. Situ Jin and Yu Qihao had both gotten so tanned that their skin was dark, and standing next to Situ Xin, they looked especially black. "Bro, how did you and Brother Qihao get so dark? I remember you guys didn’t tan this much in previous years?"

Having just returned from military training, Situ Jin, covered in mud, decided not to get too close to Situ Xin, "Heh, we were chosen by the captain to participate in a field training exercise." After Situ Jin finished speaking, Yu Qihao wanted to get closer to chat with Situ Xin, having not seen her for so long and missing her dearly. But before he could say a word, Old Master Situ bellowed at Yu Qihao, "Yu Qihao, you scamp, you just came back from the military, and instead of going home first, you run here. If your grandfather finds out, he’ll be furious. Hurry up, go back home now." Old Master Situ didn’t give Yu Qihao any face, promptly shooing him away.

Usually, Old Master Situ was laid-back, but when it came to matters concerning Situ Xin, he was always more sensitive than others. Sure enough, he hadn’t noticed much when Situ Xin was younger, but as she grew older, he started to feel something was off. The Xiao and Qi boys were coming over to their house for no reason, and once they arrived, they would always hover around his precious granddaughter.

After a glance and analysis, Old Master Situ knew that these two young men had ulterior motives.

However, if Old Master Situ’s thoughts were to be known to Situ Xin, she would probably be teased about them, considering she was only nine years old. At her age, what could possibly happen?

Old Master Situ never had a pleasant face for those who wanted to take away his precious granddaughter, not just Xiao Muli and Yu Qihao, but even those old masters who were thinking of promoting their grandsons to him, he never looked at them favorably either.

After Yu Qihao was shooed away by Old Master Situ, Situ Jin went upstairs to shower. After his shower, he clung to Situ Xin’s side, telling her all about his time in the military.

Old Master Situ, having just driven away one who wanted to steal his precious granddaughter, saw another approaching. He glared at Situ Jin so hard it was as if he could bore a hole through him. However, Situ Jin acted as if he didn’t notice and continued to chat and laugh with his beloved sister.

Finally, it was time to return to school. On registration day, Situ Xin did not go, and she also skipped the upcoming military training. Situ Xin’s family unanimously agreed to let her skip the arduous training. How could the Situ and Loo Families bear to subject their darling to such hardship?

When Old Deng heard about this, he commented that both families were too indulgent with Situ Xin. Yet, his words earned nothing but contempt from Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo. Speaking of spoiling Situ Xin, Old Deng himself had a hand in it. If he hadn’t doted on her, how could he have so easily handed over The Dark Division that he had worked so hard to establish? Of course, after Situ Xin took over The Dark Division, she performed exceptionally well.

No, it wasn’t just well—she performed much better than when Old Deng was The Leader. It was just that her capability hadn’t been fully demonstrated in such a short time. Nonetheless, Situ Xin’s achievements effectively silenced those who opposed her. Now, no one who had doubts about her taking over The Dark Division had any reason to object anymore. This made Old Deng proudly declare his knack for seeing potential in people, making Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo walk with chests puffed out more than before.

Seeing Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo look at him, Old Deng coughed lightly and said, "Of course, with Xiao Xin’s current skills, participating in military training would be superfluous." As he spoke, Old Deng turned to look at Situ Xin. Seeing her delicate and lovely appearance, he thought to himself, "With a girl like Xiao Xin looking like this, if it were me, I wouldn’t bear for her to go through military training either."

All agreed, without exception, that Situ Xin should not participate in military training. However, Situ Jin, having seen that his sister was not going, was adamantly against going himself. In his words, "I’m not going to the military training. I just came back from the army and haven’t yet adjusted."

Situ Jin’s suggestion was immediately vetoed by Old Master Situ. And if it weren’t for Situ Xin’s timely intervention, Situ Jin would have inevitably faced a beating from his grandfather.

In the end, it was Situ Xin who stepped forward, speaking on behalf of Situ Jin, explaining that he had just returned from the army and had already undergone the necessary training. She argued that it would be redundant for him to attend military training now and that he would be better off practicing at home.

As soon as Situ Xin made her case, Old Master Situ nodded and agreed. However, Situ Jin still received several glares from his grandfather.

Once word spread that Situ Jin was not attending military training, every child in the compound due for training went home to argue with their families, determined not to go through with it either.

Thus, this year’s high school freshman military training saw a sudden drop in attendance by more than a dozen students. If they were average students, the school teachers and military instructors would not be pleased. But what could they do when all these students had influential backgrounds?
