Female Star's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1138: Huaxia Elders



"Ji Shuixian, you really have bad breath! Could you please shut up? Otherwise, you'll pollute the environment!" Xu Qingling looked at the short, plump woman with eyes full of disgust. "And your name is just perfect—called Shuixian, but looking like that, you'll really dare call yourself anything!"

"Xu Qingling, how dare you laugh at me?" Ji Shuixian roared angrily. "Wretched woman, wretched woman, you wretched woman, I will make sure you die!"

Ji Shuixian indeed looks ugly, but she holds a high position; who dares to say it directly?

However, Xu Qingling did not give her any face, which drove Ji Shuixian to the extreme of anger, her face twisted. She was already unattractive, and this only made her look worse.

"Go home, get some money, and go to Simida Country for some plastic surgery!" Xu Qingling sneered.

"Bastard!" Ji Shuixian was shaking with anger, her body fat trembling, the ugliness beyond description.

"Let's go, head to General Mountain, and meet the elder leaders!"

Xu Qingling didn't bother to argue further and strode forward, entering the heart of the mountain first. She wanted to seek justice for herself in General Mountain!

...

This was a small wooden tower, tranquil and elegant, with several old men sitting inside, chatting and laughing.

General Mountain is a military base, with elites guarding everywhere, ensuring the security of the people in the mountain.

However, this place is, after all, a retirement home. Even if there are a few prominent figures living here who can influence current affairs, it is not truly a military base.

General Mountain has three thousand elite soldiers, lurking in different parts of the mountain, solely to protect this small tower on the mountain and the four elderly men inside!

"Time passes so quickly; in the blink of an eye, decades have gone by, and Huaxia is growing stronger and stronger!" An elder stood inside the small tower, looking at the entire Fragrant Mountain, gazing at the red-leafed trees on the mountain, his tone full of emotion.

"He, stop sighing. I'm tired of hearing it!" an elder holding a teapot said. "You've been sighing about the changes since you moved to Fragrant Mountain; it's been decades, haven't you had enough?"

"Kun Wuchang, damn your ancestors, I like to sigh, what business is it of yours?" The elder who was sighing suddenly flew into a rage and cursed at the teapot-holding elder.

"Obviously a coarse man, yet you insist on pretending to be a literati, using florid language and suddenly sighing. Aren't you disgusted by yourself?" The teapot-holding elder didn't get angry, as if used to it, and looked at the other elder with disdain.

"This is called self-cultivation. You don't understand, so don't blabber!" That elder's temper was extremely fiery, igniting at the slightest provocation.

"Don't disgust me!" The teapot-holding elder said disdainfully.

"You!" That elder was nearly driven mad with anger.

"Alright, stop arguing, you two!" At this time, another elder spoke. "You've been bickering for decades, arguing until your hair turns white; can't you calm down for a moment?"

"Mr. Wen, are you blaming us?" the teapot-holding elder said. "I said the mountain was too desolate and didn't want to come, but you insisted on dragging me here, and now you're complaining that I argue?"

"Fine, I won't argue with you anymore. I'll leave tomorrow and not live in this godforsaken place!"

"We're all people about to enter the ground, so we're suited to living in this godforsaken place!" Mr. Wen glared and said. "Moreover, we've hidden away and stopped interfering in those matters for so long. If you go out rashly, it will unsettle many people!"

"I've really been screwed by you!" the teapot-holding elder said angrily.

"Alright, everyone calm down!" The elder who hadn't spoken all along said. "Those youngsters are about to arrive. Aren't you afraid of losing face and being laughed at by others with all this quarreling?"

"..."

This elder exuded a great authority, seemingly the leader of the four, and with a word, he subdued the other three!

"..."

Outside the small tower, there were many warriors, ordered to guard there, ensuring the safety of the four elders, long accustomed to such arguments.

Faced with the frequent quarreling of the four elders, the warriors never mocked them; on the contrary, they were full of respect!

He Shanhe, Kun Wuchang, Wen Xiangyou, Li Kuishou!

The identities of the four elders were too illustrious; each one a legend of Huaxia, senior leaders of the military, the most revered figures in Huaxia!

For Huaxia's current prosperity, the contributions of the four elders were indispensable; what a tremendous contribution!

Therefore, even though the four elders often quarreled, the warriors never mocked them; there was only fervent reverence!

Near noon.

Xu Qingling, Chen Changfeng, and five others overcame numerous obstacles and arrived at the heart of the mountain, before the wooden tower.

"The four elders are legendary figures of Huaxia, undefeated legends. To have the opportunity to meet them today is truly exhilarating!"

The seven stood in front of the wooden tower. Just thinking of the people inside made them inexplicably excited.

Kun Wuchang, He Shanhe, Wen Xiangyou, Li Kuishou, the statuses of these four elders were so high that even though they lived in the deep mountains for years, no one dared forget them!

Xu Qingling and Chen Changfeng were major generals in the army, at the peak of their careers, but compared to the four elders, they could only be considered tender newcomers!

"Generals, please follow me; the elder leaders are waiting for you!"

Finally, a soldier came over, leading the seven into the wooden tower to meet the four elderly figures.

"Kun, He, Mr. Wen, Mr. Li!"

Seeing the four elders, Xu Qingling respectfully greeted each one and then lowered her head.

The four elders are founding members of Huaxia, all over ninety years old, yet each brimming with vitality and exuding an aura that commands awe.

"We old folks are just a nuisance on this earth, no need for pleasantries!" Wen Xiangyou said. "Just get to the point, who is this young girl accused of treason? Let me see!"

Wen Xiangyou was direct and to the point, wasting no time on formalities as he brought up the main issue.

The accusation that Xu Qingling was collaborating with the enemy had caused a great stir in the military, making it impossible to settle, thus alarming the four elders!

Moreover, Xu Qingling comes from a prestigious family and holds an important position in the military. If the charge of treason stands, it might lead to a significant upheaval that only the four elders could suppress!

"Mr. Wen, hello, I am Xu Qingling!" Xu Qingling nodded respectfully toward Wen Xiangyou.

"Are you Xu Qingling?" Wen Xiangyou asked, surprised.

The information on Xu Qingling indicated she was forty, but her appearance was youthful, with fair skin and not a trace of wrinkles, hardly resembling a forty-year-old.

"Mr. Wen, I've made progress in martial arts cultivation, enabling me to retain my youthful appearance!" Xu Qingling explained.

"You've cultivated martial arts!" Wen Xiangyou exclaimed in shock.

A figure like Wen Xiangyou naturally understands martial arts can lead one to transcendence, potentially granting immortality!

However, the path of cultivation is arduous, requiring profound skills to maintain eternal youth!

Xu Qingling, a woman not only as Huaxia's leading female general but also a martial arts expert, left Wen Xiangyou astonished.

"Mr. Wen, Xu Qingling indeed cultivated martial arts, but she disclosed military secrets, an act of treason. I hope you'll uphold justice and mete out punishment!" Chen Changfeng stepped forward, exposing Xu Qingling's offenses.

"Treason is indeed a grave crime!" Li Kuishou stated. "However, we are not yet clear on the details of this matter; someone needs to clarify!"

"Mr. Li, I am Gu Xiaoman, Supreme Commander of the Air Force!" Gu Xiaoman stepped forward to speak. "Half a month ago, the Air Defense Department intercepted a sound wave series, containing immense secrets!"

"The Air Defense Department translated this sound wave and submitted it to me; sensing the gravity of the situation, I passed the file on to the military office..."

Gu Xiaoman demonstrated remarkable composure, recounting events with extraordinary clarity, every word backed with evidence, leaving no gaps to explore.

After her calm narration, Xu Qingling's treason was clearly unveiled.

Moreover, Xu Qingling listened quietly throughout, refraining from any comment, seemingly tacitly acknowledging everything.

"You kids of the Xu Family are really muddle-headed!" Kun Wuchang, temperamental and prone to anger, lit with rage upon hearing Gu Xiaoman's words. "Is Huaxia's prosperity easy to achieve? Why would you betray us? Has Huaxia wronged you?"

"I did not collaborate with the enemy!" Xu Qingling calmly explained.

"Your secrets have been uncovered, yet you still deny the treason?" Kun Wuchang glared, eyes flashing.

"It's all just rumors!" Xu Qingling was succinct, as though unwilling to elaborate.

The four elders in the mountain fortress each had their own distinct characteristics; Kun Wuchang was the most temperamental and rash, he was adequate in battle but lacked judgment...

Thus, even though Kun Wuchang believed the accusations, Xu Qingling did not reproach him, knowing that the elder's temperament was difficult to change!

However, Kun Wuchang's fury pleased Gu Xiaoman, Chen Changfeng, and others, clearly Xu Qingling's situation was unfavorable!

"Kun Wuchang, sit back down; do not utter another word!" Li Kuishou suddenly commanded.

"Mr. Li, the evidence is laid out; what more do you want?" Kun Wuchang asked.

"Sit back down!" Li Kuishou replied sternly.

"..."

Faced with Li Kuishou's anger, Kun Wuchang reluctantly backed down; Li Kuishou, the eldest and most capable, was someone Kun Wuchang had to obey.

"Mr. Li, Xu Qingling's treason…" Chen Changfeng noticed Li Kuishou expressing his stance, fearing a change in the situation, attempting to solidify Xu Qingling's charges.

Yet, his words were abruptly cut off by Li Kuishou.

"Hold your tongues; I have questions to ask!"

Li Kuishou was implicitly the leader of the four elders, commanding a formidable presence that silenced the scene the moment he spoke.

Moreover, the elderly man showed wisdom, seemingly having grasped some insight, intending to engage Xu Qingling.

"How is your grandfather's health?" Li Kuishou asked.

"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Li; my grandfather is in good health!" Xu Qingling replied.

Xu Qingling's grandfather was also a senior leader, second only to Li Kuishou—people like Kun Wuchang—otherwise, the Xu Family wouldn't be so influential.

"Your grandfather was my soldier and once saved me from a bullet; how the years have passed…" Li Kuishou sighed, seemingly reminiscing.

"..."

No one on the scene spoke, seemingly afraid to disturb this moment of reflection for the elder.

"Your grandfather was a brave general, your parents were outstanding too, which is why the Xu Family remains thriving!" Li Kuishou remarked. "Thus, I cannot fathom why you would betray your country?"
