Chapter 52: Your Mission is Very Important

Gu Xiaoxi strode into the villa, where Lin Shu was making tea. She glanced at the living room; it was empty.

She quietly asked, "Aunt Lin, where's Shaoqing?"

"He hasn't come back yet! Xiao Xi, how come you're home so late. Did you have extra training tonight?" Lin Shu asked with a smile.

"No! We're going on a peacekeeping mission tomorrow, so I've come back to say goodbye," said Gu Xiaoxi, her tone direct.

Hearing this, Lin Shu stopped what she was doing and looked at Gu Xiaoxi with a serious expression. "Why are you leaving again? I've heard peacekeeping is very dangerous, why would they send a young girl like you?"

"Aunt Lin! Isn't that a good thing? I get to experience real combat," Gu Xiaoxi responded, her face beaming with a smile. After all, they were special forces soldiers selected for the mission.

Being able to leave the Land of Kings meant you were qualified to enter the battlefield.
