Chapter 192: It's quite reasonable for the senior brother to be paired with the senior sister.
Your cultivation methods are hard-won. Apart from the Tong family, who promised to contribute their best cultivation techniques and teach everyone how to cultivate, no other ancient martial arts family could do such a thing.
The Tong family's selflessness is beyond question, and their righteousness deserves our utmost respect! Therefore, it is not unreasonable for them to ask everyone to abide by the rules of the Tong family martial artists and for disciples of the Tong family to support each other.
The Tong family's actions will undoubtedly incur the wrath and resentment of various ancient martial arts families. Therefore, everything we do during our training at this base must be kept strictly confidential.
In the future, when you are working or living outside, don't use these skills to cause trouble, and don't reveal your identity as a martial arts practitioner unless absolutely necessary.
"Yes! We will obey the organization's arrangements! We will resolutely keep the secret!" the soldiers answered in unison.
After Li Chengsong finished speaking, Tong Yuheng walked over and stood in front of everyone. She smiled and continued:
"In the future, you may need to act as ancient martial arts practitioners or go on missions. When registering, you can use the name of a disciple of the Qing Shi Tong family."
In the world of ancient martial arts, we neither cause trouble nor fear it. If anyone deliberately picks on you or bullies you, feel free to fight back! If you've been wronged, come to me, and I'll stand up for you!
"Oh! Instructor Tong, you're so kind!"
"Instructor Tong is the best!"
"Don't call me Instructor Tong when we go out. In front of martial arts practitioners, you should call me Young Clan Chief, but in normal times, you can just call me by my name. We're all the same age, so we can be friends."
"After I see this, I'll call you Master. Instructor Tong has taught us so much; he's like a master to us. Aren't we disciples of the Tong family?"
"Yes, yes, we should call him Master!" the soldiers echoed.
"Haha, please don't call me Master, it makes me sound old. How about I take you under the tutelage of my late father, Tong Linsheng, and you can be my junior brothers and sisters? I'll be the senior sister, is that alright?" Tong Yuheng said with a smile.
These people are all around her age, no more than a year or two apart, so it makes sense for her to be the senior sister. These people will all achieve considerable success in society in the future, and they will all be part of the Tong family's network.
"Alright, alright, junior sister Yang Qiuyu greets senior sister!" She clasped her hands in a fist salute, her face calm, not at all like she was joking.
"Greetings, Senior Sister!"
"Greetings, Senior Sister!"
Voices rose and fell, everyone genuinely hoping to have such a senior sister who was both a teacher and a friend to them.
"Um, Senior Sister, what should we call Instructor Li? Should we call him Brother-in-law?" Ding Xiaopeng, always ready with a joke, asked. He was a bit of a goofball; everyone knew the two instructors were a couple, but he couldn't just ask directly. Li Chengsong hadn't even formally proposed yet!
Li Chengsong blushed and quickly looked at Tong Yuheng. He didn't scold Ding Xiaopeng, as if he also wanted to make this title a reality.
"Calling him brother-in-law is a bit premature, we're not even married yet! Why don't you call him Senior Brother?" Tong Yuheng said. This way, it would be more convenient since this group would be spending most of their time on missions with him.
Li Chengsong was clearly a little disappointed, but he immediately accepted the title. Thinking about it, "senior brother" paired with "senior sister" makes sense. Well, as long as it's not "second senior brother," otherwise it'll always remind people of Pigsy!
"Should we have an extra meal today? To celebrate having both a senior brother and a senior sister?" Ding Xiaopeng was getting hungry.
"If you want an extra meal, you have one hour to go hunting in the mountains. You can only use your kung fu and daggers; no guns allowed. When you come back, your senior sister will make a barbecue for you!"
"Oh, great! I want roast chicken! I'm going to hunt pheasants!"
"I want to eat grilled fish, who wants to come upstream to fish with me?"
"I'll try my luck and see if I can shoot a roe deer!"
The group scattered in a flash, running off to hunt in small groups. Li Chengsong looked at his girlfriend, who was blushing slightly, and asked, "Shall we get our marriage certificate after this training is over?"
Both of them had reached the legal marriage age, and Tong Yuheng had also turned nineteen, but she felt it was a bit early, saying, "Let's get our marriage certificate when I turn twenty, there's less than a year left!"
Tong Yuheng: The romantic proposal I've been waiting for... looks like Li Chengsong, being such a straight man, won't be able to give it to me. Sigh, life always has its regrets; that's just part of life...
"That's fine, I'll tell my mom and have her get ready!" Li Chengsong said happily. He just hadn't expected that an important mission would lead them both to leave this place, and that they wouldn't get married for several more years.
An hour later, the hunters returned with a good catch: about ten pheasants, four rabbits, and plenty of fish, filling a large willow basket.
Several soldiers even managed to hunt a wild boar weighing 180 pounds. They excitedly carried it back, preparing to clean it and roast it.
With more people working together, the soldiers quickly prepared all the food. Tong Yuheng had everyone cut up the fish and meat and marinate them. She then took out all the seasonings she had collected, lit the "oven" made of iron sheets, and started grilling on the iron steamer used for steaming buns!
As they ate and chatted, their words were filled with longing for a better future, and they even dreamed of being alive and well decades from now, so they could all enjoy barbecue together...

Tong Yuheng finished training and went home, while Li Chengsong remained at the training base. Their training period was six months, but they could train together for another three months, though Tong Yuheng would no longer be needed to teach them personally.
They have already learned two sets of boxing techniques, as well as some makeup skills. They have also been taught a lot of special forces skills, and Tong Yuheng has contributed blueprints for some tools, which will be equipped for them in the future.
For the remaining time, Tong Yuheng devised a rather demanding wilderness survival plan for them. The more skills they learned, the more secure their lives would be.
She left many of the specific methods to Li Chensong, and he was responsible for the rest. He wasn't called "Senior Brother" for nothing; this job was definitely his responsibility!
When Tong Yuheng arrived home, it was already July. During her absence, things hadn't been peaceful in the county and Chenjiatun either.
Liu Fengyi and his team cooperated with higher-level public security departments to carry out a large-scale anti-trafficking operation in several affected provinces, arresting many human traffickers.
Sun Xianglan was among the first to be arrested, and she was publicly tried and sentenced to eat peanuts!
Fan Yaqing was taken in for questioning, but because she was unaware of the situation and had not participated, she was released. This time, she went from being the daughter of a fugitive to the daughter of a human trafficker, which made her even more isolated by the villagers and educated youth. Even Zhou Manman was more popular than her.
Chen Jinsheng, however, felt increasingly sorry for her and insisted on marrying her, causing constant arguments with his parents. A few days later, Fan Yaqing persuaded him to steal money from his family and elope with her!
