My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 1793: Breaking the Calm
He only knew that in order to realize his self-worth, he needed to live for others. As long as those he valued were happy, he would be happy.
"Such a fool." The complex gaze of the Councilman carried a faint warmth. In this world, everyone lives for themselves, even manipulating others, forcing others to live for their ambitious goals.
Yet this child was willing to live for others, making the happiness of important people the meaning of his existence.
It’s truly a heartbreaking tragedy.
"Be careful when you go to Yalan Country." The Councilman’s voice carried more concern, usually full of mutual critique in exchanges with this adopted son, their father-son relationship truly disharmonious.
But at this moment, he was unusually gentle, saying words normally impossible for him to express.
"Your mother and I are waiting for your return, understand? You mustn’t get hurt because... your mother would worry."
Ji Lingkong was taken aback, his heart seemingly warmed by a gentle spring, his lips involuntarily curving up in a playful manner.
"Doesn’t Father worry about me?"
"Hmph, stop talking nonsense, I’m hanging up now." The Councilman was a bit embarrassed as well, and hung up the phone.
After the call, he tidied up, put on his black military uniform, the airship had already reached Yalan Country.
Ji Lingkong confidently strode downstairs, the soldiers he passed saluted and greeted him, loudly calling him a lieutenant!
Although being the son of the Councilman gave him certain privileges in the military, he still had to start as the lowest officer since he had no merit to his name. In such a cruel environment as the military, merits and strength were the real power; background could provide some advantages, but to rise above others and achieve fame, one must make extraordinary accomplishments and win over these hardened men and those proud and overbearing senior officers.
And the overall commander of this operation, responsible for the entire campaign and deploying all the soldiers, Admiral Wilson, was a renowned figure with formidable strength.
Coming from a military family, he had been immersed in military life since childhood, with decades of experience, he was undoubtedly a powerful and capable general with rich experience and outstanding tactics.
Fighting under such a superior was a good thing for many subordinates.
But for Ji Lingkong, it was somewhat troublesome because, unfortunately, this Admiral Wilson did not share the same political views as his father and often undermined his father’s plans. Being assigned under his command, Ji Lingkong estimated that his situation would be even more challenging.
To make a big name, this old fellow must be conquered, to let him acknowledge his own strength! 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
"However, the more challenging and difficult the task, the more interesting it is!" Ji Lingkong showed a sly smile, adjusted his military cap, and pushed open the door to enter the main command room to meet the picky superior.
...
Though the military campaign on that side was intense, Yiyi Jun’s life was quite peaceful.
But soon, the peace was shattered.
The people from the Yun Family at the Governor’s Mansion unexpectedly sent an invitation to her and Madam Aisha, inviting them to come back for a meal, saying they wanted to meet this new daughter of the Governor.
Yiyi Jun found it a bit strange. Governor Yun had adopted a daughter, to be honest, this event could be considered neither big nor small. After all, however you look at it, it’s an addition to a prominent family, and she was the legitimate foster daughter of Governor Yun and the Governor’s wife, so her status wasn’t low. At the very least, she should be introduced to the people of the Yun Family.
However, the Yun Family members over there seemed uninterested in her and didn’t care about her existence at all.
Indeed, she was indeed an unimportant person, so it’s not surprising they weren’t interested, but at the very least, they should give face to Madam Aisha.
