The Strongest Sentinel (19): Shall we go to the training ground and have a fight?

Being picked up in public, Gu Juntian noted something down in his little notebook and then asked Zhou Qinghao, “Qinghao, are you busy next?”

Zhou Qinghao said, “Not busy.”

He had already discussed with his subordinates what they would do next and had assigned those tasks to them.

Now, he was free.

“Then you come with me to meet my mom,” Gu Juntian said.

Mother Gu hadn’t contacted him all this time, but now that he was here, he definitely had to go take a look.

Zhou Qinghao froze upon hearing Gu Juntian’s words.

They were going to meet Gu Juntian’s mother? He was much older than Gu Juntian, and he didn’t know if Gu Juntian’s mother would mind.

Zhou Qinghao’s expression remained unchanged, but he couldn’t help feeling anxious inside. Then, he noticed that Mother Gu was even more anxious than he was.

When the two arrived at the cafeteria where Mother Gu worked, the opening hours had already passed, and food was no longer being sold. Mother Gu and her colleagues were cleaning up and preparing for the next meal.

But everyone was absent-minded.

And Mother Gu was the one most distracted among them.

Finally, someone couldn’t hold back and asked Gu’s mother, “Have you contacted your son?”

Mother Gu said, “No… don’t they have a lot of things to do? Would it be inappropriate for me to contact him now?”

She never expected that her son was actually a guide and had even bonded with Zhou Qinghao!

Mother Gu suspected she was dreaming; if she contacted her son, the dream might end.

This was so bad, she still wanted to have a few more sweet dreams.

“Sending a message to ask is still okay, right?” the cafeteria manager said.

Mother Gu asked, “Then what should I send?”

Cafeteria manager: “……” How would he know? Gu Juntian wasn’t his son!

A few people were talking when Gu Juntian brought Zhou Qinghao in: “Mom!”

As soon as Mother Gu turned her head, she saw her son and the man she both respected and feared, Zhou Qinghao.

She was just an ordinary woman living in the outskirts, who had never seen much of the world, and her legs went weak for a moment.

Overall, Zhou Qinghao’s meeting with the parents this time went very smoothly.

After all, no matter what he said, Mother Gu always nodded and agreed, so he couldn’t get nervous at all.

After seeing Mother Gu and reporting their safety to her, Gu Juntian and Zhou Qinghao took Mother Gu out for a meal.

After finishing dinner, Gu Juntian asked Zhou Qinghao, “Qinghao, where are we staying tonight?”

Zhou Qinghao said, “The original house has been repaired. Shall we go back and live there?”

Of course, he had other places to stay, but the materials used for that house were the best. Just the outer wall alone could block the mental probing of an S-level sentinel.

And the bedroom he lived in not only could block the S-level sentinels’ prying eyes, but it was also very difficult for the S-level sentinels to destroy it.

The two S-level sentinels before could tear down the wall because they were tearing down the outer wall.

The bedroom of that house, others couldn’t go in.

Zhou Qinghao felt that his own territory was the safest.

“Then go back and stay there,” Gu Juntian said.

The two quickly returned to their residence.

The house had indeed been repaired; the person who fixed it was very careful, and nothing inside the house was disturbed.

Zhou Qinghao’s gaze fell on the decorations in the living room, and he felt particularly good.

At that moment, Gu Juntian took advantage of Zhou Qinghao’s unpreparedness, picked him up, and headed towards the bedroom.

It was a princess carry, that move, exactly the same as when Zhou Qinghao used to carry him.

After carrying him inside, he threw him onto the bed, then leaned over and covered Zhou Qinghao’s mouth with his own.

The revenge had started!

Zhou Qinghao couldn’t speak, and at this moment, he didn’t want to speak either.

He simply used his own mental power to tightly entwine with Gu Juntian’s mental power, feeling Gu Juntian’s affection for him while also expressing his affection for Gu Juntian.

He really enjoyed this kind of revenge from Gu Juntian and didn’t mind it happening a few more times.

Gu Juntian did not disappoint and retaliated against him several times.

After it was over, Gu Juntian tightly embraced Zhou Qinghao in his arms, feeling completely satisfied: “Although we were interrupted for a bit, at least we made up for the wedding night.”

“Mm.” Zhou Qinghao replied.

Gu Juntian held him tighter and kissed Zhou Qinghao’s lips several times, “Go to sleep.”

Zhou Qinghao closed his eyes and fell asleep in an instant.

In those previous nights, although he could sleep for a while, the sleep didn’t last long.

Today, he finally underwent a mental fusion, and now he could finally get a good night’s sleep.

And this time, he naturally slept for a long time; by the time he woke up the next day, it was already noon.

Gu Juntian was no longer by his side, but he was completely unaware.

Zhou Qinghao lay in bed for a while, then used his own mental power to poke at the mental power enveloping him, Gu Juntian’s mental power.

He could sleep so well because Gu Juntian’s mental power surrounded him completely, giving him an unprecedented sense of security.

After Zhou Qinghao’s mental power encountered Gu Juntian’s mental power, it was entangled by Gu Juntian’s mental power. Following that, their mental powers began to intertwine…

“It’s time to eat.” Gu Juntian came in from outside and, once again, picked Zhou Qinghao up from the bed in a princess carry.

Zhou Qinghao: “……” He didn’t feel anything yesterday, but today… being held like this, it felt a bit embarrassing?

The two of them had lunch together, which Gu Juntian had prepared. After finishing, Zhou Qinghao said, “Juntian, I have something to tell you.”

“What?” Gu Juntian asked.

Zhou Qinghao talked about establishing a new base outside and then said, “Most of my people will move to the new base, but we will also leave some here to handle immigration for those in need… Do you want to stay here or move to the new base?”

If Gu Juntian wanted to live here, he would take Gu Juntian to live here. If Gu Juntian wanted to go to the new base, he would take Gu Juntian to live at the new base.

With his current strength, he could already live as he pleases.

Gu Juntian didn’t hesitate: “I want to live at the new base.”

“Then I’ll take you there. There are fewer facilities over there. If you can’t get used to it, I’ll bring you back.”

“As long as you’re here, I’ll definitely get used to it,” Gu Juntian said.

Zhou Qinghao suddenly felt his face getting a bit hot.

His little guide was too good at sweet-talking.

Zhou Qinghao originally kept the new base well-hidden. He planned to reveal the existence of the new base only after everyone who needed to be relocated had moved there.

But now he had a guide, not only would he not die in the short term, but he would also live to a ripe old age, so he no longer hid the existence of the new base. This way, he could attract more people and develop the new base better.

He believed the officials wouldn’t dare stop them from leaving.

Zhou Qinghao continued, “Actually, I could stay at Base One and develop it, seize control of Base One. But the rules and regulations here have been in place for many years, and it’s very difficult to turn Base One into what I envision…”

Base One was like a feudal society, a dynasty on the verge of decline.

Becoming the emperor of this dynasty did not necessarily mean that the dynasty would regain its former glory, and establishing a new system was even more challenging.

It would be better to conquer a new territory and establish new rules.

Gu Juntian understood Zhou Qinghao’s meaning: “I understand. Those nobles always think their bloodline is superior and their talents are exceptional, so they deserve to live a life of the upper class. Once we leave, I want to see how they will live.”

Zhou Qinghao smiled.

The ordinary people of Base One were innocent. If there was a beast tide in the future, he would definitely bring people to assist Base One.

But for everyday matters, he wouldn’t take care of them.

There were so many people in Base One, and they consumed a lot of food every day. He wondered if the armed forces could hunt enough game to feed the people in the city.

If it didn’t work out… They welcomed those who were not well-fed in Base One to come and live in their new base.

At this moment, Gu Juntian asked again, “By the way, when are we moving? I’ve always wanted to see the surface; I’ve never left the underground city.”

He not only wanted to go see the surface, but he also wanted to go kill the mutated beasts.

Zhou Qinghao said, “If you want to go to the surface, I can take you there tomorrow.”

“Then we’ll go tomorrow!” Gu Juntian said.

“Okay.” Zhou Qinghao agreed.

After eating, Zhou Qinghao took Gu Juntian to the headquarters.

Gu Juntian took the initiative to request to help those under Zhou Qinghao who had issues with their spiritual seas to organize their mental powers. Zhou Qinghao didn’t stop him and let Tang Chen compile a list, then called them one by one.

“Juntian, if you’re tired, just take a break. Your health is the most important.” Seeing the long list, Zhou Qinghao sighed, also worried that Gu Juntian would overwork himself.

“Don’t worry, I will act within my capabilities,” Gu Juntian said.

That was good… Zhou Qinghao said again, “I’ll step out for a moment.”

“Go ahead.” Gu Juntian didn’t stop him. After all, Zhou Qinghao was the base commander and must have many things to attend to.

Gu Juntian thought Zhou Qinghao was busy with important matters, but in reality, Zhou Qinghao went to find his subordinate, the military doctor: “You told me before that the scar on my face could be removed?”

The scar on his face was left when he was a teenager, injured by a poisonous beast.

The poison of that mutated beast was very potent and could not be neutralized at all, so his wound had been slow to heal.

In the blink of an eye, two years had passed. His mental strength had grown even more powerful, and he expelled the toxins using his mental force.

But the poison was gone, and there was a scar on the face.

With the advancement of medical technology, scar removal was now just a minor procedure. At the time, a military doctor offered to help him remove the scar, but he felt that keeping it could serve as a reminder and also make him appear more mature, so he decided to leave it as was.

But now… Gu Juntian looked too young. It was better if he got rid of the scar.

“Of course!” the military doctors immediately replied.

One of the female military doctors also gave another suggestion: “Commander, you are a powerful sentinel, your body’s recovery ability far exceeds that of ordinary people. When we remove the scars, if we also do some laser treatment for you, your skin will be as fair and smooth as that of an eighteen-year-old.”

Zhou Qinghao’s expression was icy, exuding an aura of authority without him needing to raise his voice, to the point where the female doctor felt a bit guilty after speaking.

She shouldn’t have said that.

Their commander didn’t care about appearances!

Just as she was thinking this, she heard Zhou Qinghao say, “Then let’s do a laser treatment while we’re at it.”

Whether it was scar removal or laser treatment, they were both minor surgeries, especially for sentinels with strong recovery abilities.

An hour later, Zhou Qinghao saw his new image in the mirror.

He fell silent for a moment, then suddenly understood why his younger self had left that scar.

Those military doctors observed with their eyes and listened with their hearts, not daring to say a word.

The surgery was very successful, very successful.

Their commander suddenly became younger, with skin that looked excessively good.

It was just… how could they know that their commander actually looked this exquisite?

The current Zhou Qinghao didn’t resemble a sentinel who had fought on the battlefield for many years at all; instead, he looked like a pampered guide.

Zhou Qinghao looked at his own youthful face and felt a bit out of place.

But since it was done… he left the military doctor and went to find Gu Juntian.

Along the way, he encountered quite a few people. They all secretly looked at him and whispered, “That person looks a bit like the commander…”

Zhou Qinghao: “……”

When they were almost at the top floor, Zhou Qinghao ran into Tang Chen.

Tang Chen was taken aback for a moment, then tentatively spoke up, “Teacher?”

“Mm.” Zhou Qinghao replied.

Tang Chen gasped.

These people were all making a big fuss!

Zhou Qinghao quickly found Gu Juntian.

When Gu Juntian had not yet seen Zhou Qinghao, his mental power had already sensed Zhou Qinghao’s presence.

“Qinghao, you’re here…” Gu Juntian looked up and then saw Zhou Qinghao’s drastically changed expression.

Zhou Qinghao’s appearance had always been to his taste.

But now, Zhou Qinghao was even more captivating than before.

Zhou Qinghao should be like this!

Gu Juntian felt his heart beating faster and faster…

Gu Juntian’s physical reaction, Zhou Qinghao naturally sensed it.

Seeing Gu Juntian staring at him in a daze, he felt very good.

However, at that moment, Gu Juntian said, “Qinghao, shall we go to the training ground and spar?”

Zhou Qinghao: “???”
