Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After understanding the situation in Naboo, Nuannuan was no longer worried and continued her life as usual.

In the blink of an eye, it was the start of a new school term again.

Other than the principal, no one else knew that Nangong Nuannuan was no longer called Zhong Nuannuan.

In the high school knowledge competition, Nuannuan brought glory to the entire country of Camino. As Nuannuan’s alma mater, Jia Yong had received praise from the Education Office. This was also the first national-level commendation that Jia Yong had received in many years.

Unfortunately, Nangong Nuannuan was not there when the people from the Education Office delivered the commendation letter, banners, and rewards to Jia Yang.

This was because secondary school textbooks were too easy for Nuannnuan now. After memorizing those questions given during the competition, Nuannuan could guarantee that she would be able to score high marks for both social and natural sciences. In that case, returning to school would be a waste of her time.

So, Nuannuan asked her grandfather to call the school.

When the principal found out that Zhong Nuannuan’s name was Nangong Nuannuan and that the person who had called him to ask for leave was actually the old general of Camino and the head of the Nangong family, the principal was extremely excited.

With Old Master Nangong personally applying for Nuannuan’s leave, how could the principal not approve it?

Even though it was a pity that they would not be able to see this authentic daughter of a wealthy family for much longer, there was nothing they could do about it.

Therefore, Nuannuan decided to stay in Emperor District until June, when it was time to take her National College Entrance Examination.

Meanwhile, after Leng Jinpeng’s condition improved, he was transferred back to Emperor District too.

Leng Jinpeng should have been promoted to general a long time ago, but because of his health, he had no choice but to retreat. In the end, not only did he not rest in Jiang District, but he had also made great contributions. Now that his health had improved, the higher-ups immediately let him take on greater responsibility. Not only did they promote him to general, but they also let him take on the role of the chief of staff in Emperor District’s military base.

The headquarters of the Emperor District’s military base and the northern division of the military base were headed by Nangong Shu alone. Managing the affairs of the two military bases was enough to make people, especially the Shi family, jealous.

Chen Yuanwen from the Shi family was the First Deputy Commander of the Emperor District military base. Initially, he had wanted to force Nangong Shu away. Nangong Shu would either manage the Emperor District military base or the northern division of the military base. How could one person occupy two positions?

Now that the Shi family, whose youngest son, Shi Maowen—Officer Number 13 of the executive hall—the higher-ups were finally moved to the idea. Yet now, Leng Jinpeng had arrived. Based on the fact that Leng Jinpeng had once been the commander of Eagle Special Forces, the Jiang District military base, and counting the endless list of contributions he had made, Leng Jinpeng was much more qualified than Chen Yuanwen. In addition, he was also the chief of staff, so he was ranked ahead of Chen Yuanwen. Therefore, even if Nangong Shu let go of one of his positions, Leng Jinpeng would still take over the position as the commander of the Emperor District military base. It would not be the Shi family’s turn at all.

This infuriated the Shi family.

If the Shi family wanted to push Shi Maowen up, they needed someone to be in the northern division of the military base. However, after so many years, no matter how many contributions the Shi family made, the northern military base and the Emperor District military base were still under the Nangong family’s control, gripped in their iron gloves. The Shi family could not find any openings at all.

Currently, in the Shi family, only his son-in-law, Lu Guangsheng, was the commander-in-chief in the south-eastern division of the military base.

However, how could this commander-in-chief, who was posted so far away, be more persuasive than the commander-in-chief of Emperor District military camp or its northern division?

Undeniably, both the crucial positions were under the Nangong family’s control.
