Addicted Book 2 - Passionate Flames

Chapter 35 - Breaking Body Limits

The meeting ended briefly. With the exception of BaiLuoYin, the rest of the battalion commanders left.

"Why did you allow LiuChong to come here?" BaiLuoYin asked.

"I did not allow him to come here." ZhouLingYun said indifferently. "It is you who forbid him to come, I did not ask him, do you understand? I just gave him an option to decide!"

"If you did not provoke him, would he make such a rash decision?" The tone of the BaiLuoYin's voice revealed a deep dissatisfaction.

"Nonsense!" ZhouLingYun roared, "Is provocation a word you can use on me? What qualifications do you have to challenge me? In here, there are only orders. There is only order, not friendship. Discard this nonsense chirp, otherwise, expect to lose your mouth!!!"

The soldiers who are standing not far away, witnessed this. All looked on with a worried expression.

BaiLuoYin stubbornly added, "I did not say that just for the sake of friendship, it is for the interest of the troops! LiuChong is a rare talent. You put him in this cold place during his recovery, he is likely to suffer a lifelong of disability. Is this your way of training? Is your starting point in training people not to make them strong but to destroy them completely?"

ZhouLingYun using his big hand severely flicked BaiLuoYin's head, word by word, said, "Our troops will not raise waste!"

BaiLuoYin stiffened and his lips pursed tightly.

ZhouLingYun's hand moved slowly from the top of BaiLuoYin head to the side of his lips, severely twisting his mouth, then scornfully yelled, "Control your mouth!"

BaiLuoYin's mouth has been dried for not having any water for a day, adding in the cold environment and now with ZhouLingYun's actions, his painful lips started to seep out a string of blood.

Subsequently, ZhouLingYun announced loudly in front of the soldiers, "A deputy battalion commander in disobeying higher order is to be punished. He is to have no food for a day and to climb 100 trees. I hope that the majority of you will see this as a warning!"

The soldiers that are present are secretly terrified. In their memory, since BaiLuoYin came to the troops, he has never received any punishments. In addition to his exemplary performance, he also has a strong backing in GuWeiTing. With any issues dealing with BaiLuoYin, the leadership will need to seriously consider.

Toward BaiLuoYin, ZhouLingYun added, "You remember this, I will not give you any special privilege! Even if you are the son of the Chairman of the Central Military Commission, you will still be punished under the same discipline!"

BaiLuoYin's body stiffened, under the eyes of everyone, his face did not change color as he started to walk toward the trees.

For all one hundred trees, he must climb to the top of each tree and then climb back down, and then go to another tree.

With wind chilling to the bones, the skies and white sand invading his exposed skin, BaiLuoYin's hand started to chafe from the tree barks and bleed.

After climbing thirty trees, he is exhausted, but gritting his teeth, he did not reduce his speed. He must complete this mission in the shortest time possible so he coud quickly return to the tent to care for LiuChong in these three most critical hours.

ZhouLingYun was sitting inside the tent looking like he is just leisurely smoking; but in fact, he is secretly counting the time to analyze the tolerance level and determination of BaiLuoYin.

After climbing the hundred trees, BaiLuoYin's tired legs have soften. His body braved the hot steam and sweat drip down the cuff. His whole body lost balance as he staggered toward ZhouLingYun's tent.
