Layers of clouds and mountains surge like hundreds of thousands of soldiers; the wind is light and the rain drizzles, telling me about the sorrow of parting.

The road was crowded with people.

The people of Baiyun State spontaneously came to see him off.

The shouts were earth-shattering.

"Mr. Fang, remember to come back and visit often."

"Mr. Fang, take care of your health out there."

"I really can’t bear to see Mr. Fang go, boohoo..."

"Stop crying! Mr. Fang’s promotion is a happy event. Why cry? Do you want him to remain in Baiyun State as a minor official just because he’s good? You’re too selfish!"

"..."

Fang Che was filled with emotion, continuously persuading everyone to return.

But everyone was reluctant, walking him all the way to the outskirts of the city.

With no other option, he had to leave quickly on horseback.

After traveling a long way, he looked back and still saw a dense crowd at the city gate, looking in his direction.

Fang Che was overwhelmed with mixed feelings, paused his horse and looked back, letting out a long cry, causing the sky and clouds to roil and churn.

Then he turned the horse’s head, and with Ye Meng, turned around the mountain pass and disappeared.

The wind stirred the clouds above, the distant mountains rose and fell in the mist; the fine rain stretched on, like silk and fog, like sorrow and longing, reaching to the horizon.

The youthful heart is hot with blood, making extraordinary achievements through life and death;

Looking back from the depths of white clouds, facing the wind and rain of Jianghu for another journey.

...

At the city gate of Baiyun State, the suppressed cries of reluctance finally burst out.

"Mr. Fang has left! Boohoo..."

The people of Baiyun State truly couldn’t bear to see Fang Che go.

Li Changkong and Bing Shangxue, along with two others, revealed their figures from behind the city wall, looking in Fang Che’s direction with reluctance.

"The child has finally walked his own path, pursuing his future."

Duan Zhongliu sighed with infinite emotion.

"It’s just a pity we couldn’t see him off in person. Oh..."

Bao Feiyu felt a bit regretful.

Li Changkong lightly said, "I was afraid you wouldn’t be able to control yourselves and cry. Taking office and getting promoted is a happy event, shedding tears would be unlucky."

"You’re worried about yourself, aren’t you?"

The two teased.

Then they saw Bing Shangxue’s eyes redden and stopped joking, urging, "Let’s go, go drink, and tomorrow we’ll work harder, train these kids now, and hope to produce a few more like Fang Che."

"Alright!"

The three agreed in unison and turned to leave.

Bing Shangxue walked a few steps, couldn’t help but look back intently.

"Stop looking."

Li Changkong, who returned at some unknown time, stood beside her and said, "In the future, if you miss him, just go to Donghu State and visit. Make sure his students serve him well."

Bing Shangxue couldn’t help but smile, then sighed, "In the future, encountering a student like this again... it’s truly difficult. Not to mention a whole batch of them..."

Li Changkong nodded but said nothing. In his heart, he thought, "It’s not just difficult... probably in this life, encountering one is already using up all my luck..."

On the other side of the city wall.

Chen Ru Hai and Fan Tiantiao had complex expressions.

"Finally sent off this Great God."

"I also feel relieved."

"Honestly, for such a long time, I felt confused."

"Me too."

"We should also prepare to depart. If we don’t take office soon, we’ll probably get scolded."

"Indeed, this time we directly go to headquarters for training. It’s like a pie falling from the sky."

"Let’s go, let’s go."

...

Donghu State.

Inspection Hall.

The Inspection Hall is a separate large courtyard, a five-story building, covering a vast area.

Inside there are three Patrol Teams, each with six squads, totaling eighteen squads.

They are categorized into bronze, silver, and gold badge patrols.

Likewise, they are promoted based on individual patrol achievements and points.

But there are exceptions. For example, when a patrol is promoted to Gold Medal, but his captain remains as Silver, such cases also exist. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

The ranking of patrols and official positions are only ’basically linked’; meaning there are exceptions.

The battle in the Southeast.

Patrols also participated in the battle, losing more than twenty patrols.

An Ruoxing, as the Deputy Chief also serving as the Chief Inspector, could only reorganize the team into squads again.

He transferred ten more people, forming seventeen squads.

One squad was still missing, lacking eight people.

He was considering who to appoint when he received notice that he didn’t need to select people, as they had already been arranged.

Just waiting for people to take office.

An Ruoxing has been stationed here for a while now.

Then the people coming to take office started arriving.

The first person made An Ruoxing very satisfied.

A super big guy, standing two and a half meters tall!
