Ji Jiang realized she was crying and felt a bit embarrassed, rubbed her eyes, and suddenly noticed the silver token at Ji Hong’s waist, imdiately picking it up out of curiosity.
On the front of the token, there were only three words, "Dragon Martial Army". On the back, it read "Reconnaissance Camp Fifth Team Ji Hong".
After looking at the token, Ji Jiang imdiately raised her head with uncertainty to look at her brother.
Ji Hong, with pride on his face, said, "Haha, the Reconnaissance Camp had a vacancy last month. Your old brother has officially beco a mber of the Dragon Martial Army’s Reconnaissance Camp."
"That’s great!"
Upon hearing this, Ji Jiang was overjoyed, her face full of pride.
Currently, in Great Xia, aside from officials in the Eight Departnts, the best path for ordinary Cold Resistance Level individuals is to join the army. Not only do they receive a fixed military salary, but also half of the profits from hunting and battles can be directly retained. This single aspect surpasses seventy to eighty percent of Cold Resistance Levels at the camp.
Not to ntion that her brother is in the Dragon Martial Army, which is one of the top among the fifteen armies of Great Xia in terms of strength, be it present treatnt or future prospects, it’s certainly the best.
Seeing her brother filled with pride, Ji Jiang suddenly rembered sothing, smilingly asked, "Brother, you’ve broken through to the mid-stage Cold Resistance, haven’t you? What’s your strength now?"
Ji Hong nodded, a confident smile spreading on his face, "I broke through two months ago. I now have the strength of Nine Manes."
Even knowing her brother has surpassed her, hearing about the Nine Manes strength made Ji Jiang’s face reveal a touch of surprise involuntarily.
Although her brother has top-grade Battle Body Talent, he only broke through to Cold Resistance Level in September last year. Now, it’s only been five months, and his strength has improved by Six Manes, equivalent to one Mane a month. At this speed, he can rank among the top in Great Xia.
"Humph, isn’t it thanks to the Yangyuan Pill I sent you!"
Upon hearing his sister’s words, Ji Hong’s smile instantly disappeared, looking down at Ji Jiang, his expression beca stern.
Seeing her brother’s serious face, Ji Jiang’s heart sank.
Ji Hong took out three small porcelain bottles from his chest, speaking deeply, "Ah Jiang, now that your brother is an official mber of the Dragon Martial Army, I won’t be lacking in cultivation resources. You are not allowed to send anything. Keep your contribution value for yourself, understood?"
After finishing his speech, he directly handed the three porcelain bottles to Ji Jiang.
Ji Jiang picked up the small porcelain bottles, opened them one by one, finding that the 30 Yangyuan Pills she had placed inside were still intact, which made her pretty face flush with anger.
But looking up at her brother, seeing his serious face, she dared not speak further, and as she got more upset, her eyes gradually reddened, eventually turning her head away, silently shedding tears.
"Ah Jiang, why are you crying, don’t cry!"
"I just want you to keep more contribution value for yourself, I’m not blaming you."
"Please don’t cry, Ah Jiang..."
Seeing his sister crying, Ji Hong’s heart softened imdiately, hurrying to comfort her.
Ji Jiang was obviously very angry, stubbornly turning away from him, and after a long ti, her mood cald down slightly. In a choked voice, she said, "Brother, you’ve been taking care of for almost ten years now, I finally can earn so contribution value, and I just wanted to help you buy so cultivation resources.
These 30 Yangyuan Pills are what I managed to buy after saving my three-month quota. Unlike in the city every day, you in the Dragon Martial Army often have to fight against Cold Beasts, which must be very dangerous. I thought if you improved your strength sooner, it wouldn’t be so dangerous, and I’d be more at ease.
You actually haven’t used a single one, not a single one..."
Ji Jiang got more upset as she spoke, choking up for a mont, then continued, "You rely on yourself for everything, I also rely on you. Your cultivation speed has been dragged down by , Xu An, who is just two years older than you, your strengths were very close early on, now there’s such a gap, all because of , do you want to feel guilty for a lifeti?"
"Brother never thought so, Ah Jiang, don’t..."
"Moreover, if your strength improves faster, won’t you be able to protect better?"
Being interrupted, Ji Hong was at a loss for words when hearing his sister’s retort.
Ji Jiang seed genuinely angry, directly raising the three small porcelain bottles in her hands angrily, "These 30 Yangyuan Pills, if you don’t use them, you’re trying to cut ties with , so I’ll just throw them away, and from now on, I don’t want your contribution value anymore."
Seeing his sister really throw the bottles, Ji Hong jumped up at once to catch them, helplessly said, "Alright, alright, I’ll use them."
Seeing her brother put the bottles back into his chest, Ji Jiang suddenly changed faces, her anger disappearing instantly, transforming into a smile, as she stepped forward and wrapped her arm around Ji Hong’s, eyes full of mischief.
"That’s more like it! Hahaha..."
"I can’t compete with you, can’t compete with you!"
Ji Hong tousled his sister’s hair, his face full of helplessness, yet his pupils were decidedly more filled with comfort.
The siblings grew up together, Ji Jiang’s nature he knows too well, that bit of acting, how could it possibly deceive her brother?
Choosing to compromise was intentional!
"By the way, is there sothing wrong with your shop?"
Having just seen the shop empty of clothes, Ji Hong wanted to ask about it earlier. Now, with the matter of Yangyuan Pills settled with his sister, he couldn’t help his curiosity, beginning to inquire directly.
