Matrilocal Son-in-law Is Supreme

2"This isn't fair. Instructor, why would those people with strong and weak Source Power Level enjoy all kinds of benefits, while those with true ability like Shen Lang live in the worst possible military tent?" He said indignantly.     4

    

"Que De, this is the military camp. It's not fair, it's only about discipline." Dong Qing's expression turned serious. "Even if you don't think it's good and there's a problem with it, you can't change it. I can't change it either. We can only obey."    

    

Que De was about to argue with Dong Qian when Shen Lang patted his shoulder and stopped him. Through the conversation between Dong Qian and Que De, Shen Lang also had a simple understanding of Dong Qian.    

    

At the very least, Dong Qian was different from the majority of Source Cultivator who thought highly of themselves and treated those who were unlucky as ants or trash. In her heart, she would accept the existence of both None Source and herself, and even hoped that this world would treat these two kinds of people equally. Just like Duan Qing from Falling Cloud Town.    

    

However, such a person was still an extremely rare existence. Even if they wanted to change the current unequal situation, they did not have equal strength or status.    

    

"Instructor, I understand what you mean, and I thank you for taking the time to meet us." Shen Lang stood up and bowed to Dong Qian. " We still have to unload after breakfast, so we won't bother. "    

    

Shen Lang's calm reaction surprised Dong Qian. She originally thought that since Shen Lang had lost the opportunity to enter New-advanced Class, he would be extremely dejected. At the very least, he would show some signs of disappointment. A trace of admiration flashed in her eyes and she said, "I didn't help you much. Previously, I heard from Que De that you liked reading books, so I regularly send you magazines. If you are interested, you can come and borrow from me."    

    

"Thank you, Instructor." Shen Lang said.    

    

"Alright, you guys go back to your work." Dong Qian nodded and hesitated before continuing, "Compared to entering New-advanced Class, the benefits from accumulating military merits are a little more substantial. "Just remember this saying. Don't tell anyone about it when you get back."    

    

After exiting Dong Qian's tent, Que De seemed a little excited. He whispered, "Shen Lang, did you hear that? This has never been mentioned by anyone before. It must have been Instructor Dong Qian revealing this information to us. You sure are charming, haha. "    

    

Shen Lang didn't make a sound as he pulled Que De to a very remote corner. After confirming that there was no one around them, he asked, "Fatty, how much money did you give to Dong Qian in the end?"    

    

"Huh?" Que De was surprised by Shen Lang's question.    

    

However, from his reaction, he could tell that Shen Lang's guess was right.    

    

From Dong Qian's reaction, Shen Lang could keenly feel that the reason why Dong Qian treated him and Que De so well and even gave them such confidential information about accumulating military merits was not just to admire them, but to make up for something.    

    

To put it bluntly, the two of them were not worth that much. After all, he was able to advance two levels in the General Rank overnight, and his talent was extraordinary. However, in their eyes, Shen Lang was someone who was out of luck. The ceiling was too low. Even if he could defeat Fu Pingtao, who was at the ninth level of the General Rank, he wouldn't receive much points.    

    

According to this line of thinking, the only possibility was that Dong Qian owed Que De a huge favor. As for Que De, since he had just arrived, he had no background or strength. The only thing that could make Dong Qian owe him a favor was the 20 million gold coins that Shen Lang had previously given him.    

    

"You're awesome, it's such a pity not to be a detective." Que De shrugged and said, "Fine, I won't hide it from you. Before I came to the New-advanced Class, I met a friend from New-advanced Class. He was a young man who wasn't even twenty years old yet, and his name was Dong Ping. I won't tell you the whole story, but he's a very worthy person. Even though everyone has the surname Dong, you should be able to guess that he is the younger brother of Instructor Dong Qian. "    

    

Que De continued to speak while Shen Lang slowly understood the ins and outs of the matter.    

    

His father was originally a senior military officer with the strength of the seventh level of True Rank. When he was leading his subordinates on a secret mission, he was attacked by a group of unknown ferocious beasts. In order to protect his subordinates, Dong Ping's dad had to fight with those monsters to the death. His meridians exploded and all the energy in his body was wasted. However, because his father's cultivation had been completely destroyed, he had lost all of his value. The army only gave him a pension before sending him away.    

    

The problem was that Dong Ping's father, Dong Jinming, did not simply lose his cultivation. He also suffered from serious internal injuries and needed to rely on the specially treated Source Energy — Flexible Source Liquid to sustain his life. The price of the Flexible Origin Liquid was ten times that of a normal Source Energy. Even using the lowest grade of Flexible Origin Liquid, it quickly consumed all of Dong Ping's family's property. The subordinates that Dong Jinming saved that day, as well as his friends and former comrades all tried their best to help him gather money, but they were still unable to make ends meet. Most of the money Instructor Dong Qian earned was spent on the Flexible Origin Liquid.    

    

The reason Dong Ping came here as a soldier was to earn more money. His sister was the instructor, so he definitely knew about the military merits earlier than Que De and Shen Lang and was just waiting here. After Que De heard this, he burst with sympathy. He felt that he couldn't just ignore that, so he transferred 3,000 gold coins to him. It was enough for Dong Jinming to live for three to five years.    

    

"Speaking of which, Dong Ping was quite interesting. He even wrote a IOU for me, insisting that I treat this as money that he borrowed from me. He will return it to me in the future." Que De said.    

    

Que De didn't need to say that Shen Lang knew about it. Dong Ping told Dong Qian about this matter. Since they needed the money to save their lives, they could only accept it. And like this, Que De accidentally caused Dong Qian to owe Que De a huge favor.    

    

"That makes sense." Shen Lang patted Que De's shoulder, "Fatty, to be honest, you have more to do than I do. Not only did you manage to enter the New-advanced Class, you even managed to successfully get close to Instructor Dong Qian.    

    

"Of course —" Que De said proudly, "Let me tell you, Shen Lang, I still have a lot of tricks up my sleeves. In a few days, I'll be using the other instructors as my backers. Regardless of whether or not we can drag you into the New-advanced Class in the future, we will be the bosses of those new recruits in this camp. "    

    

Shen Lang smiled but didn't say anything. He knew that Que De's heart wasn't in this training camp. Unlike him, Que De had always wanted to leave this place. Since Que De wanted to leave, it didn't really matter that Que De worked hard to consolidate his position. Actually, Que De's real intention was that after he left, Shen Lang would still be able to stay in the military camp.
