Chapter 29: Senior Brother and Sister

  The next morning, before dawn, a gathering sound echoed across the playground. The doors of our 13 dormitories were opened simultaneously, and male and female instructors stood at each entrance. Classmates were kicked out of their quilts and made to fold them into "tofu blocks".

  Ten minutes later, I and Wei Ge stood on the playground, looking at the sisters wearing camouflage uniforms standing neatly on the playground. More than a dozen instructors began to demonstrate military skills: prone position, scattered punches, rolling over, grappling... The girls in our class had stars in their eyes as they watched.

  I and Wei Ge were staring at a particularly beautiful girl, Bai Buqi was standing on the side with drool, commenting on this girl, "This girl is called Bai Jingjing, she's the class flower of Nursing Class 3, I heard she has a boyfriend who is a big shot in society." As soon as we heard this, most of the boys who were staring at her immediately shifted their attention, no longer hoping to get a taste of swan meat, because people from society aren't easy to mess with, if we students provoke them, we won't have good days.

  There are also some boys who look at Bai Jingjing with a bit of disgust, thinking that she's already mixed up in society at such a young age. Students would naturally look down on her, and there's also a hint of jealousy - after all, when someone gets something you can't have, everyone thinks it's unfair. It's like the popular saying goes: "All the good women are taken by losers." Those who don't have girlfriends or whose wives aren't pretty will complain about this, but when they themselves manage to snag a beauty, this saying becomes a slap in the face.

  "Attention, Class of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Meng Fei is standing at attention!" Suddenly, a male instructor walked over and said a few words to our class instructor. Our instructor hastily saluted him. This male instructor looked like the leader of these instructors, possibly a platoon leader or something similar. I saw him directing the entire military demonstration from start to finish earlier.

  When I heard the instructor shouting, I quickly took a step forward. These instructors were already in high spirits early in the morning. Wei Ge had been kicked seven or eight times by our instructor, and Xiao Bai was beaten until he cried out for his father and mother. Those two guys always overslept, but now they're really suffering. As for me, since I usually practice qigong and Dragon-Tiger Great Strength Fist in the morning, I naturally woke up a bit earlier.

  "Meng Fei, you don't have to attend military training anymore. Master Chen has arranged for a month's leave for you to carry out a military mission on behalf of the country. You can go now." The instructor said seriously and then gave me a military salute. My classmates were all staring at me, and then I saw a jeep drive up, and a young officer in uniform got out, with two bars and three stars on his shoulder.

  As soon as the officer got off the car, the two instructors gave a standard military salute. The young officer just nodded and also saluted before walking towards me.

  "Are you Meng Fei?" The young officer smiled and sized me up before asking.

  "Who are you?" I was a bit dazed, didn't know why the master wanted me to take leave and perform some task, it really didn't make sense. This young officer even smiled at me, he didn't smile at the instructor, I found it very strange.

  "My name is Cheng Jie, my master asked me to pick you up. Let's get in the car and talk." He turned around, opened the door and got in. A soldier got out of the car, opened the back door, I didn't think twice and followed him into the car.

  Cheng Jie sat in the passenger seat, and next to me was a fashionably dressed woman who looked very beautiful but also somewhat icy. After I got in, she shifted her body slightly to the side, glanced at me, and then said to Cheng Jie in front of her: "Is this our Big Brother? How come he's so young and still in school? His skills must not be that impressive, Master Uncle, isn't this just adding chaos?"

  Cheng Jie smiled and furrowed his brow at the woman, "Sister, don't say that. Eldest Brother is Master's closed-door disciple. You're a Miao descendant and a medical heir, so you wouldn't know how formidable the Shan family is. To subdue those monsters, no one can replace Eldest Brother." After finishing, Cheng Jie glanced at me with a flattering expression.

  "Oh, so you're the junior brothers and sisters. Meng Fei has met both of you!" I finally reacted at this time, hurriedly clasped my fists in greeting, this is our Taoist etiquette, cannot be less on first meeting.

  "Sister Mo Han, I've seen Big Brother!" The woman also said seriously, "I'm Cheng Jie, the heir of the Cheng family, nice to meet Big Brother!"

  "You guys are too annoying, I started late, the youngest in age, just took advantage of Master's kindness, and became a senior apprentice." I also said politely, "Let's just be brothers and sisters usually, when Master is around, I'm the big brother, when he's not, you're my older siblings, right? Mo Han sister, Cheng Jie brother."

  As soon as I said that, the two senior brothers and sisters were also stunned. Mo Han then smiled: "I didn't expect Big Senior Brother to still be a child. It seems that I, Mo Han, have gained another younger brother. Originally, I wasn't convinced by your position as Big Senior Brother, but now you're calling me sister, how can I bear to compete with you?" As she spoke, she gave me a coquettish glance, looking like she had genuinely been hostile towards me earlier, but my words had made her feel embarrassed about being angry.

  "Haha, I feel balanced now. Originally, I was thinking of getting even with you through Cheng Ying, but I'd better hurry up and give her a call to spare your life. Otherwise, that bug will enter your body and you'll be in trouble." Cheng Jie also quickly said, then picked up the phone, dialed a number, and begged his grandfather and grandmother for half a day before letting out a sigh of relief. He smiled at me and said: "It's all right, my junior sister said she won't bully you, but you have to call her 'sister', otherwise, you can't lack the gift when you meet, haha!"

  "Another sister, how old is she?" I asked with a worried face.

  "Thirteen years old, also a descendant of the Miao ethnic group, our medical family has only two successors, namely me and Cheng Ying. Cheng Jie is the successor of the Ming family. As for the skills of the Bu and Xiang families, they were all learned by your master. Master Chen is the most powerful among the three masters. In the future, you may also need to learn the skills of divination and fortune-telling." Mo Han said with a smile, I really didn't know these things.

  "Don't underestimate these two junior sisters of yours, they're actually very formidable in medicine. They mainly study the art of nourishing insects and administering poison, but at the same time, they can also save people. The corpse aura on your body can only be dispelled by their master." Cheng Jie said with a smile, I initially thought this guy was a good person, but when he mentioned that he and Cheng Shi Mei were going to bully me earlier, I knew this little brat was a smiling tiger.

  The car got on the ring highway, and in an hour's time, we three arrived at the entrance of a medical institution. As soon as we entered, we saw that the place was packed with patients, almost blocking the entire area. Inside the gate were various vehicles and people taking pictures. The medical institution was about the size of a small hospital, a four-story building. In the courtyard, security guards were maintaining order. A delivery vehicle was stuck at the entrance, unable to move in or out.

  Cheng Jie got out of the car, flashed his military ID, and the security guard immediately dispersed the crowd around us. The three of us sat in a military jeep and drove directly into the two-story small building behind the hospital. Cheng Jie and Mo Han took me straight up to the second floor, bypassing a large hall, and we entered a room in the middle.
