Chapter 667: The Bet

This must be Zhang Rui’s true goal.
Shi Man knew what was going on.
However, before she could speak, Cheng Luo was the first to stand up and reject on her behalf. “Instructor Zhang, this bet is not in line with the rules. Moreover, even if 1 fail, I should be the one to bear the responsibility for what 1 promised to do. It has nothing to do with Instructor Shi.”
Zhang Rui’s expression darkened slightly. She sneered and said, “Don’t think that you can talk to me like this just because you’re the first place among the female soldiers. I’m the instructor, your division commander! When I talk to others, you have no right to interrupt!”
Cheng Luo’s face turned red from her reprimand, but she still argued, “Instructor Zhang, the cause of this matter is related to me, so I should have the right to express my opinion. Moreover, I only said that 1 have to bear my own responsibility. I don’t have any intention of refuting Instructor Zhang. Could this be considered contradicting my division commander?”
“You!” Zhang Rui was so angry that she laughed. Her playful gaze kept glancing at Cheng Luo and Shi Man. “Good, very good. Since you’re so anxious to take responsibility, why don’t the two of you bear it together? The other party in the bet is Yue Ming.”
Hearing this, Yue Ming frowned slightly, and a fleeting hesitation flashed across his face.
He had a deep understanding of Shi Man’s training methods. He did not want to agree to this bet, but now that Instructor Zhang had personally spoken, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, “I can agree to this bet, but 1 have a condition.”
“Tell me.” Zhang Rui’s eyes lit up impatiently, as if she could already see Shi Man packing up and being chased out of the army.
Yue Ming frowned and said in deep thought, “I request to undergo Instructor Shi’s training with Cheng Luo at the same time. This way, if Cheng Luo’s results can surpass mine during the assessment, this result will be more convincing. Otherwise, it will only prove that Instructor Shi is very capable.” Zhang Rui naturally believed that Yue Ming could easily defeat Cheng Luo. After all, he had always been an outstanding soldier under Chu Yue.
Therefore, Zhang Rui nodded and agreed without thinking.
However, Yue Ming did not relax because of this. Instead, he looked at Shi Man carefully. “Instructor Shi, do you agree?”
As Cheng Luo swallowed nervously, her eyes were wide open. She was clearly waiting for her answer.
The atmosphere at the event location suddenly became a little heavy.
Everyone’s attention was focused on one person.
However, as the focus of the storm, Shi Man still had no expression on her face. “1 can teach the two of you at the same time, but I have to make it clear in advance. The best way to improve is different from person to person. At that time, the training content of the two of you might be very different, but 1’11 make the specific training content of both sides public. If you have any objections, you can practice according to the other party’s training plan.”
This was the fairest training method.
Yue Ming nodded decisively. “Alright, I’ll have to trouble Instructor Shi to coach me next. If 1 lose, 1’11 apologize to Cheng Luo.”
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Luo, whose eyes had been red and seemed to be choking, suddenly said, “Instructor Shi and 1 have to accept the punishment in the army if we lose. Instructor Shi even has to leave the army, but when you lose, you get away with a simple apology? Yue Ming, don’t you think this is a little unfair?”
Yue Ming frowned deeply, his face cold. “Then what do you want?”
Did this woman really think that she could defeat him?
He only said that to make the bet valid.
Was this woman really bent on probing what he should do if he lost?
This was simply a huge joke.
He was a man and had Instructor Shi’s fair guidance. How could he suddenly lose to a woman who had always been inferior to him?
He could not imagine what methods Shi Man had to make Cheng Luo improve rapidly in a short period of time!
However, Cheng Luo was very concerned about the absolute fairness of the bet. She had to make Yue Ming promise them a price equivalent to theirs.
After thinking for a while, Cheng Luo stood up and said in a manner that was neither servile nor overbearing, “Yue Ming, Instructor Zhang means to let Instructor Shi leave the army after losing. If you’re still a man, please leave the army yourself on losing. Similarly, I’ll leave on my own if I lose!”
This bet had blown up a little!
Zhang Rui did not expect Cheng Luo to be so fierce. She actually wanted to leave with Shi Man!
However, when she thought of how she could use this opportunity to chase Shi Man away, she did not care if she would ruin Cheng Luo’s future. She tried her best to signal to Yue Ming.
When Yue Ming heard this, he was slightly stunned. Of course, he didn’t want to leave the army for such an absurd reason, but at this point, how could he not dare to fight a woman in front of so many people? He simply nodded and replied, “Sure. 1 hope you won’t cry and beg for mercy.”
“I’ll return these words to you,” Cheng Luo said sarcastically..
