The little son of the butcher's family, after listening to this answer, understood things even less now. His mouth was agape in confusion for a moment. Then he felt that his big brother was very pitiful. Even birds and animals all around had parents - it was only Chang Geng who couldn't figure out his own roots. His heritage resembled a confusing mass of threads that couldn't be unraveled. There was no telling who they really were.

Ge Pang Xiao vowed: "Big brother, you can rest assured, whether you are the son of an emperor, or the son of a mayor, or even the son of a singer, you will always be my big brother!"

Upon hearing this, Chang Geng first dryly smirked, then perhaps this line had touched him inside, he finally revealed a little smile.

Ge Pang Xiao: "It would be great if I can enter Black Iron Camp in the future..."

Chang Geng did not have time to answer as someone outside the house suddenly said: "Unlike regular soldiers, the soldiers of the Black Iron Camp must do very harsh training regiment every day, can you endure it?"

The two boys looked up and saw Shen Yi pushing the door open.

Shen Yi had replaced the terrifying black armor and reversed back to the poor scholar who talked lengthily like a mother-in-law in the blink of an eye. The word 'poor' was written all over him from head to toe. He placed two food containers on the table: "Midnight meal, eat up."

Master Guo paid great attention to health, their dinners only consisted of very watery soup. The adults could make do, lacking a few bites didn't make that much of a difference. But how could two young boys endure this? Ge Pang Xiao drank three bowls of chicken noodle soup, yet he still felt like he was only full of water. After the food containers were opened and he saw that there were real steam buns and real meat inside, he immediately rushed forward with a cheer, the matter of Black Iron Camp or White Iron Camp was all thrown to the back of his head.

However, this little boy truly knew his manners; even when forgetting the world, he would still not forget his big brother. He first took a large steam bun from the box and brought it to Chang Geng: "Big brother, you eat."

Chang Geng glanced behind Shen Yi and saw that the person he wanted to see did not come. He suddenly lost his appetite, waved his hand in disinterest, and tried to suppress the feeling of loss in his heart, then tiredly greeted: "General Shen."
