Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

According to Shao Shuting and Shiye, Xue Sanfu not only had a good physique, but he was also braver than most people.

Xue Wufu fell to his knees, his body trembling. He was extremely afraid.

Xue Sanfu also knelt down, but he was expressionless. He knelt straight like a statue.

“Father, you’re scaring people again.” Shao Shuting first smiled at his father and then smiled at Xue Wufu, “That’s right, this is my father, Duke Shao.”

A Duke…

Xue Wufu was even more afraid.

Xue Sanfu was still expressionless.

“Get up, get up, quickly get up.” When he saw Xue Sanfu kneel, Duke Shao treated him like a precious treasure and personally helped him up.

Shao Shuting… Was a little jealous.

When Xue Sanfu was helped up, he also pulled up Xue Wufu, who was kneeling on the ground and trembling.

Xue Wufu didn’t feel safe at all. He subconsciously stood close to Sanfu. Only then did he feel better and stop shaking.

Shao Shuting decided not to argue with his father, as it was useless. He just smiled gently and said, “Alright, Father, you’ve seen them both now. Let Shiye take them to lunch. They haven’t eaten yet and rushed over early in the morning. It would take a while for them to settle down.”

It was only after Xue Sanfu and Xue Wufu were taken away by Shiye that Duke

Shao turned to Shao Shuting with determination in his eyes. “I want Xue Sanfu.

Xue Wufu is too weak. No matter what, I won’t agree to let him be trained as a hidden guard. If you think he has potential, you can put him among the new recruits and train with them. If he doesn’t perform well among the new recruits, you’re not allowed to ever mention him as a hidden guard again!”

New recruits were recruited every year, and this year, another batch of new recruits had been sent over. They had only been trained for a few days.

“What if he performs well?” Shao Shuting asked with a smile.

“Do you have faith in him?” Duke Shao had a testing look on his face, but he still continued, “If he can rank among the top few among the new recruits, you can do whatever you want with him. Even I will have no objections!”

His father’s temper was really…

Fortunately, it was only during normal times. During the war, he could still control it.

“It’s a deal,” Shao Shuting smiled. “But Father, when Xue Sanfu’s temper flares, he’ll be even more powerful than you. Since you’re going to teach him personally, you should be mentally prepared.”

“It’ll be fine, he looks like my real son!” Duke Shao was overjoyed.

Shao Shuting was speechless.

“He can’t read, right?” The Duke of Shao suddenly asked, his face filled with joy.

“Yes, he can’t read.” Shao Shuting replied. “Xue Wufu also can’t read. I plan to let them learn how to read for two to four hours every day, just like the illiterate people in the military camp.”

Whether it was in Da Ling or other countries, not everyone had the opportunity and wealth to let them study and read.

There were so many people in the military camp, so naturally, not everyone could read.

However, there were many advantages to being literate. For example, if one accidentally found a commander’s flag, a literate person could read what was written on it at a glance. If an illiterate person saw it, even if he came back to report, he would at most be able to determine that it was a commander’s flag based on its shape and color. He would not know who was the commander at all.

Whoever was the commander, their surname would be written on the commander’s flag.

Just like how he had the surname Shao written on his flag.

Besides, it was still considered peaceful now. Apart from daily training, the soldiers still had time to study. Therefore, the camp arranged for those who were illiterate or had very little knowledge to read and write..
