Mao Yonggui, Chu Qingjuan, and Sang Yadi's eyes nearly popped out of their heads as they listened.
After hearing everything, Chu Qingjuan was the first to exclaim, "Xia Chujian, you're something else! You went to rescue people on your own, why didn't you ask us to go with you!"
Mao Yonggui's eyes were red-rimmed. "Chujian! Don't you consider us your comrades!"
She said "comrades," not "friends," and the difference was significant.
Comrades were people you could entrust your back and your life to, even more so than friends.
Sang Yadi directly gave Xia Chujian an impolite hand gesture! Xia Chujian: "!!!"
She looked at her three roommates awkwardly, and a clever idea struck her. "It was too late!"
"The situation was urgent, and I received orders from the Fourth Interstellar Fleet, and I was piloting a Starry Sky Cruiser of the Fourth Interstellar Fleet!"
"They notified me to set sail in an hour, there was no time to get the procedures done for you..."
This was a very good reason.
Within the Beichen Empire, there were indeed very strict regulations for Interstellar Fleets wanting to "visit" each other.
Mao Yonggui and the others were elite pilots of the Fifth Interstellar Fleet.
If they wanted to go to a Starry Sky Cruiser belonging to the Fourth Interstellar Fleet, they had to apply upwards, go through layers of approval, to get permission.
It would take at least a week to get a permit.
But rescuing people was like fighting a fire, Xia Chujian couldn't wait for them to complete the procedures before setting off.
With this explanation, the three of them accepted it.
Moreover, after regaining their senses, the three of them were embarrassed to apologize to Xia Chujian.
"Chujian, I'm really sorry, I couldn't help myself when I heard about rescuing people..."
"There are quite a few people from our Fifth Interstellar Fleet in this year's class..."
"Chu... Chujian, are you... are you injured?!"
The last one to ask was Sang Yadi, because she heard that the ones besieging the students and instructors were the Star Pirates organization Bodhi Leaf! Only then did Xia Chujian feel relieved, and immediately boasted about her achievements for ten minutes.
What brilliant and divine, resolute and decisive, what insight beyond a thousand miles, planning within the Starship, and the Large Sniper Rifle, once it strikes, it breaks the heart...
In short, she made her three roommates dazzled, their hearts surging, wishing they could become sworn sisters with her on the spot!
Finally, Xia Chujian took a sip of water and summarized, "...And so, Captain Xia led five hundred Starry Sky Marines, destroyed seventeen Starships of the Star Pirates Bodhi Leaf at the Starry Sky Cruiser level, wiped out all the heinous Star Pirates, rescued the victims, and returned with a great victory!"
She wished she had a gavel in her hand to slam on the table.
Clap clap clap clap!
The three roommates applauded her together, praising her for being awesome! Xia Chujian laughed and waved her hand, saying, "A small matter! A small matter! Mainly they were unlucky, not using their own advantages, and I just happened to use them... Hahahaha..."
After saying all this, Mao Yonggui cautiously asked, "Chujian, aren't you a Starry Sky Fighter pilot? How did you become the Captain of a Starry Sky Cruiser?"
Starry Sky Fighter pilots fought alone.
But the Captain of a Starry Sky Cruiser was a war general who could command tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of Starry Sky Marines and pilots!
In terms of military rank, the highest rank for a Starry Sky Fighter pilot was Major.
But the minimum rank for the Captain of a Starry Sky Cruiser was also Major!
Xia Chujian was just a Second Lieutenant...
Of course, Xia Chujian wouldn't say that this was arranged by the Special Security Bureau.
She just pretended to be mysterious and said, "Guess!"
Now the three roommates understood that she didn't want to talk about it.
They didn't continue to ask. Anyway, they knew that Xia Chujian had such good personal relationships with the direct members of the two top Noble families, so it was not surprising that she had some special means.
Xia Chujian was also very calm.
She wasn't embarrassed at all when others asked questions she didn't want to answer. The ones who should be embarrassed were the people who asked those questions.
She looked at her three roommates and said, "How long have you been here? Did you come from the Quan Family Manor?"
"Yes, the Quan Family Noble Lady sent us a small Flying Vehicle the day you left, to bring us here," Mao Yonggui said with a smile. "This time, we really owe it to you. Otherwise, we wouldn't have had the chance to stay in the Quan Family Manor."
Xia Chujian said with a smile, "That's just your good luck. I just happened to be there."
Then everyone changed the topic to the base's decision this time.
Chu Qingjuan said indignantly, "I'm going to appeal! I don't understand why everyone's scores were canceled!"
Only then did Xia Chujian remember that before she participated in this search and rescue operation, they had received a notice from the base saying that the scores for this flight across the Asteroid Belt were invalid...
She just shrugged and said, "Maybe it's because only the four of us got a score this time. The others probably gave up."
"They gave up, so of course they didn't get a score. But we didn't give up!" Chu Qingjuan's face flushed red. "I'm going to appeal, you guys do as you please!"
Saying that, she used her Smart Bracelet to open the internal network of the Kanli Star Flight Training Base and began filling out the appeal content.
Xia Chujian leaned over to watch her write, occasionally offering a few suggestions.
Then Mao Yonggui and Sang Yadi also wrote their appeal opinions.
Xia Chujian thought for a while and also joined in the appeal.
Her appeal was very simple, only one sentence: "I want fairness."
Then she told her three roommates that she had some private matters to attend to and asked if they wanted to go back with the Fourth Interstellar Fleet's Starry Sky Cruiser, or stay here for a few more days.
Mao Yonggui and the others looked at each other, all wanting to go back directly.
They had nothing to do at this Flight Training Base and felt it was a waste of time.
Because this Flight Training Base was specifically for pilots to train in winter.
Now it was summer, and there were no Instructors or trainees here, except for some logistics service personnel at the base.
Xia Chujian sent a message to Kang Shanxing, saying that her three roommates wanted to go back to the Flight Training Base near Kanli Star with them, asking if it was still in time to take them along.
Kang Shanxing replied quickly.
[Kang Shanxing]: Luckily, if you had said it ten minutes later, it would have been too late. I'll have someone pick them up.
Then he confirmed with Xia Chujian.
[Kang Shanxing]: Are you really not going with them?
[Xia Chujian]: Colonel Kang, can you give me some time before I go back?
[Kang Shanxing]: Okay, whenever you want to leave, send me a message and I'll pick you up.
Xia Chujian was relieved and looked up at her three roommates, saying, "Hurry up and pack your things, someone is coming to pick you up and go back with our main force."
Mao Yonggui, Chu Qingjuan, and Sang Yadi didn't say a word and immediately returned to their temporary residence to pack.
They were also soldiers, and their actions were very swift.
Not only did they pack their things in a few minutes, but they also packed up the things that Xia Chujian had left at the Quan Family Manor and brought them over.
By the time the small Flying Vehicle that Kang Shanxing sent arrived, they were already waiting at the entrance of the Flight Training Base.
Xia Chujian watched them board the small Flying Vehicle before turning back.
She had to stay here for a few days to solve her problems.
But she didn't plan to stay here.
She was going to stay at the place where Su Buyan had given her the key for a few days.
It should be the safest place there, without worrying about Seven Lù being discovered, or being filmed by the ubiquitous surveillance cameras.
Xia Chujian, with her backpack and the small bundle that her three roommates had packed for her, came out of the Cangge Star Flight Training Base.
The security guard at the gate whispered, "Second Lieutenant Xia, is it not good here? Did they neglect you?"
Xia Chujian said with a smile, "No, no, I'm going to see one of my relatives. Don't tell anyone! I want to rest for a few days..."
The guard hurriedly said, "Second Lieutenant Xia, don't worry! I definitely won't say anything!"
He had heard a lot of news about this young female Second Lieutenant and admired her very much.
Now that he knew she wasn't mistreated and left in anger, he was relieved.
Xia Chujian then inquired about how to get a taxi there.
She planned to go to a place relatively close to Su Buyan's address first, and then walk over.
In any case, she couldn't let others notice where she was going.
Just as the gatekeeper was about to tell her how to get a taxi, he heard two beeps of a car horn at the entrance.
Xia Chujian thought a taxi had arrived and looked back.
She saw a shiny, antique mechanical luxury car parked near the gate.
Quan Yuxun, dressed in formal attire, stood with his hands in his pockets, leaning against the hood of the car, smiling at her.
"Second Lieutenant Xia, where are you going? I can give you a ride."
Xia Chujian exclaimed "Oh?" and smiled, "It's actually Chief Quan Da, I was just thinking of contacting you, but you came without being invited."
Quan Yuxun walked over with a smile, casually took the small package from her hand, and said, "You're back?"
Xia Chujian didn't stand on ceremony, nodded goodbye to the gatekeeper, and followed Quan Yuxun to his car.
The gatekeeper didn't dare to move when he saw the license plate number on Quan Yuxun's car, and didn't even know where to look.
When he saw that Quan Yuxun's car was not self-driving, but required someone to drive it personally, he was even more envious.
Manually driven mechanical cars are now priceless antique luxury cars that ordinary people can't afford...
Quan Yuxun walked over, opened the passenger door, let Xia Chujian get in, and then walked to the other side, opened the door, and sat in the driver's seat.
Xia Chujian fastened her seat belt and said with a smile, "I didn't expect Chief Quan Da to drive himself..."
Quan Yuxun smiled gently and said, "Chief Quan Da also eats by himself, shocking, isn't it?"
Xia Chujian gave him a thumbs up: "I especially admire that you can even use memes!"
"This shows that the work of the Senate is not that busy. Everyone is in a high position, but they don't forget to surf the Internet. You are indeed role models for us!"
Quan Yuxun scoffed.
He knew this girl was impervious to soft or hard tactics, he was used to it.
Quan Yuxun didn't care, and after driving the car out of the Flight Training Base outside Changliu County, Cangge Star, he asked Xia Chujian, "...Where are you going?"
Xia Chujian stopped smiling, looked at him, and said thoughtfully, "This trip of yours, it's not on a whim, is it? What do you want from me? Do you still want me to be a bodyguard?"
Quan Yuxun: "..."
Seeing him smile without saying a word, Xia Chujian said, "It's not impossible for me to be a bodyguard, but I've raised my price. Think carefully before you speak."
In order to earn the medical expenses for those thirty-eight people, Xia Chujian had already planned to take on private work...
Quan Yuxun glanced at her this time and said, "You're too clever for your own good."
In today's first update, there was a time error, which has been corrected.
That is, Sister Xia's trip lasted two days and two nights plus a morning, a total of more than fifty hours.
In addition, I saw that some book friends mentioned that the bulletproof vest worn inside is a jumpsuit.
Well, there are also jumpsuits that can be broken at the waist, which is not much different from normal clothes.
There will be a new update at 0:05 tonight.
