Chapter 96 1th Legion
Xi Yu lowered her eyes in thought, and after a long while, slowly asked, "What are your conditions?"
"I want you to join the Empire's First Legion." Yan San smiled and stated his request directly without any preamble.
Xi Yu was stunned for a long time. She really couldn't understand why Yan San had gone to so much trouble just to get her to join the army.
"I can't get into military academy." She stared at him suspiciously and repeated. He knew perfectly well that her score was too low for military academy. If she couldn't get into military academy, how could she join the First Legion?
Even the most powerful rulers cannot parachute someone into a formidable army, especially not the empire's strongest First Legion!
The Empire has a total of six legions, among which the First Legion is a force under the command of the Marshal, and no one but the Marshal himself can order them.
Joining the First Legion is incredibly difficult; it's a powerful team teeming with elites, and anyone you randomly pick is a seasoned veteran.
And Yan San actually wanted her to join such a legion?! What a joke! She couldn't even get into military academy!
Her compromise pleased Yan San, and a smile involuntarily appeared in his eyes: "No need for a score. The score is just one of the shortcuts to entering the military academy. In fact, the military academy recruits new students every year, provided that they pass the test."
Xi Yu didn't answer. Instead, she stared at him intently and asked, "Why?"
Why must she be included in the First Legion?
Yan San slightly raised his lips, then suddenly leaned down, getting close to her face, a hint of tenderness flashing in his eyes.
He suddenly approached with an aggressive aura, his warm breath spraying on her face. She turned her head away uncomfortably, a surge of anger rising within her.
Does she need to get this close to him when she's talking?! She's not deaf!
"Just consider it my whim..."
His voice was very soft, and Xi Yu couldn't hear him clearly. She frowned and asked, "What did you say?"
Yan San had already straightened up, the gentle look in his eyes had disappeared, and he had returned to his smiling expression.
"I want you to join, of course, for the sake of the Legion and the Empire," he explained, brushing a strand of her hair aside with his left hand. "I cannot allow a capable person to leave the Empire or be absorbed by the Allies."
"Moreover, once you join the First Legion, with the legion as your backing, Colonel An Changhai won't dare to harm you or your mother, including his wife," he added.
Xi Yu slapped his hand away, silently weighing the pros and cons in her mind. She had never thought about joining the army; she longed for the freedom of a mercenary...
Seeing that she hesitated to agree, Yan San sighed inwardly and offered another tempting offer: "Three years. If you still feel it's not right after joining the legion for three years, you can choose to retire."
Xi Yu's eyes lit up. Three years wasn't unacceptable! She was confident that even without backup, she could deal with An Changhai in three years!
At worst, she could go back to her old ways, assassinate An Changhai and Ying Baiqing together, and then take Xi Hua away from the empire to live a life far from it!
Three years is enough time for her to recover at least half of her strength from her previous life!
Her clear eyes had already given the answer. Yan San couldn't help but shake his head and smile, adding, "My condition is that you can enter the military academy based on your own abilities and graduate with sufficiently excellent grades."
Xi Yu raised an eyebrow and made her decision without hesitation: "It's a deal!"
Her proud and confident demeanor resembled a kitten baring its teeth and claws, making Yan San feel a ticklish sensation in his heart, as if a feather had brushed against him.
