Chapter 208 Probing

Zhou Yu also noticed Ouyang Feng's gaze, but he pretended not to see it.

He continued to instruct Da Xiong in his training.

When it was almost time to rest, Zhou Yu finally spoke, "What exactly did you and Ouyang Feng talk about? Why has he been acting like a lunatic all day, staring at you?"

Da Xiong had been focused on training all afternoon and hadn't noticed anyone else.

So, naturally, he didn't know about Ouyang Feng staring at him and swinging his blade.

Now that Zhou Yu mentioned it,

Da Xiong suddenly looked up. The moment he saw Ouyang Feng, he was speechless.

"Heaven and earth as my witness, I haven't spoken to that kid in a long time."

Other than agreeing to let Ouyang Feng join the small team last time, they hadn't had any interaction.

Who knew what Ouyang Feng was acting up about?

Zhou Yu shrugged his shoulders, "Since there's nothing, that's for the best."

He was just afraid that Ouyang Feng would have some twisted thought and develop other intentions towards Da Xiong.

That would be interesting!

Although Zhou Yu's thoughts were not spoken, they were evident on his face.

Da Xiong saw it and a few black lines appeared on his forehead.

He truly felt that Zhou Yu's mind was too full of unnecessary thoughts.

After the two finished their training, Zhou Yu, as usual, handed the medicinal pack to Da Xiong.

The herbs and dosages in the pack were all prepared according to Da Xiong's different conditions each day.

The goal was to maximize the medicinal effects!

If anyone else used it, it wouldn't have such good results.

"Go back and take a medicinal bath before you eat," Zhou Yu reminded him.

If he ate first and then took a medicinal bath,

It was highly likely he would lose consciousness in the bathtub.

After all, the combination of the medicinal effects and the hot water was a significant challenge to the circulatory system.

The dormitories where the new recruits like Da Xiong lived were basically single rooms.

If Da Xiong fainted in his dorm, there would be no one to call for help.

Da Xiong nodded.

To be honest, his stomach was already rumbling, and he was almost out of strength to walk.

But since Zhou Yu had instructed him, there must be a reason.

Therefore, Da Xiong would absolutely not object.

Upon returning to his dorm, Da Xiong first brewed the medicine.

Then, he took off his sweat-soaked clothes and put them in the laundry basket.

He took a simple shower.

When he walked out, the medicine had already been brewed.

So Da Xiong directly poured it into the bathtub and submerged himself in it.

A strong medicinal aroma filled his nostrils, causing Da Xiong to sneeze involuntarily.

The smell of the herbs today was different from yesterday's.

It made his nose feel particularly itchy.

There was also a strange scent.

However, Da Xiong knew that it was because his arm was injured, so Zhou Yu had added other herbs.

Thus, Da Xiong endured the unpleasant smell and continued to soak in the tub.

After an unknown period of time.

The water in the bathtub was originally brown.

But as Da Xiong soaked longer, the brown color seemed to be absorbed by something, and it gradually became clear and transparent.

By the time Da Xiong got out of the bathtub, the water inside was like freshly run tap water.

"Amazing," Da Xiong shook his head.

In the past, when he took baths, the water was usually only slightly colored.

This was the first time it had been absorbed so thoroughly, like today!

It seemed that after long-term medicinal baths, his physique had greatly improved.

It was highly likely that the impurities in his body had been expelled.

Therefore, it was more clear and the absorption was faster!

Da Xiong poured away the bathwater and felt even hungrier, his stomach rumbling.

He quickly hurried to the mess hall.

However, just as he reached the mess hall, he ran into Ouyang Feng.

Judging by Ouyang Feng's appearance, he seemed to have waited there specifically, with a hint of the wind and frost on him.

As soon as Da Xiong walked over, Ouyang Feng immediately greeted him, "You're eating so late?"

Da Xiong didn't beat around the bush and directly asked, "Did you wait for me here specifically?"

Ouyang Feng nodded, not denying it.

He walked alongside Da Xiong and said, "There is indeed something I need to discuss with you. How about we talk while you eat?"

Da Xiong initially wanted to refuse.

After all, it was truly difficult to eat with such an annoying presence beside him.

But Da Xiong was too hungry.

He had trained all day and was very tired, and then the bath made his stomach feel even emptier.

So, Da Xiong had no choice but to agree.

Sitting at the dining table, Da Xiong wolfed down a few bites of food, then asked, "What do you want to ask, just say it directly. I don't like to beat around the bush."

"It's like this, the fourth mission is about to begin, isn't it? I just wanted to ask if you've received any news, and if you've formulated any counter-measures." Ouyang Feng was direct.

He actually had many questions he wanted to get answers to from Da Xiong.

But Ouyang Feng also knew that there were some things Da Xiong would never speak of.

So he could only proceed gradually.

Da Xiong was stunned for a moment, then he realized that Ouyang Feng wanted to inquire about the specific content of the fourth mission.

He immediately felt a little speechless.

"I only know that the fourth mission is very dangerous. I don't know anything else."

"Did you always know the mission content when you were teamed up with Zhang Shaohua before?"

The last sentence was Da Xiong's counter-question.

If Ouyang Feng hadn't known the mission content in advance before, he wouldn't be asking Da Xiong such a question this time!

Ouyang Feng nodded.

On the surface, he had already fallen out with Zhang Shaohua.

If he didn't show even this much sincerity, wouldn't it make people suspicious?

He might as well admit it openly. After all, words are not evidence. Even though he knew Zhang Shaohua had violated the rules, Da Xiong couldn't find any proof to report him.

"How did you guys know?" Da Xiong asked curiously.

The members of the Dragon Group were very tight-lipped.

No matter what connections were used, it was difficult to get any information.

How did Zhang Shaohua and the others know the content of the training mission?

"I don't know either. Zhang Shaohua has his own channels. I was just a follower, I didn't have the qualifications to access such things."

Ouyang Feng spoke half truth and half lie.

In the past, he truly did not have the qualifications to access the Zhang family's channels.

But this time, Zhang Shaohua had given him the contact information for the mole within the Dragon Group.

So this statement naturally did not hold true.

Da Xiong clicked his tongue in wonder and made up his mind to tell Zhou Yu about this matter when they met tomorrow.

The new recruit training was supposed to be a competition of strength.

But under the manipulation of certain individuals, it had become a competition of family power!

This was very unfair to others!

Ouyang Feng seemed to notice Da Xiong's look of disdain.

He immediately continued, "It seems you guys haven't received any news either."

"I also heard that the fourth mission is very dangerous and could even cost one's life, so I came to ask with a try-it-out mentality."
