“Isn’t that true? Our village girls can’t reach that high status anymore; they’ll all be crying.”

“Hahahaha….”

*
The sound of gongs and drums filled the air, men chatted and laughed, and the girls eagerly anticipated the arrival of the admired general, hoping to ease their lovesickness.

“What’s so good about that guy? He’s narrow-minded, bullies others with his power, takes personal revenge, and incites trouble. A bunch of head-over-heels fools, they’re all hopeless.”

Liu Qingqing also mingled among them, vigorously rubbing a washed white silk handkerchief, grumbling angrily.

Up ahead came the rapid sound of horse hooves. A few fast horses galloped along the river channel, getting closer and closer.

“General Lin is here!”

“It’s the young general!”

A sharp-eyed villager saw a young general in black armor at the head of the group. He couldn’t help but cheer loudly.

Liu Qingqing’s breath paused for a moment. She looked ahead with furrowed brows and involuntarily walked forward.

“It’s the young general!”

“It really is the young general.”

Longing for his arrival, the infatuated girls surged forward.

Liu Qingqing was ruthlessly pushed aside.

“Oops.”

The crowd surged, scaring the horses. Lin Jinxu had to tighten the reins.

The horses neighed and raised their front hooves, lunging forward a short distance before finally stopping.

“General Lin, this is Jishui Village.”

A staff officer approached him on horseback and whispered, “Six months ago, a fight broke out among nearby villages over water sources.”

Lin Jinxu dismounted and pointed to the rushing river. He sincerely praised, “Mr. Xu is truly talented! I admire your work.”

“I was just following orders.”

The staff officer also dismounted, stroked his short beard, and sincerely admired him.

“If it weren’t for your strong support, digging a canal a hundred miles away and connecting the river channels to divert water from the Black Sand River would be nothing but a fool’s dream.”

Lin Jinxu gracefully and modestly smiled, “Beidi is arid and land is barren. In the future, I’ll need Mr. Xu’s help to solve the water supply problem for more people.”

The staff officer showed his reverence, bending his waist and cupping his hands in salute, “Your humble servant is willing to serve you at any cost.”

“No need for such formality, Mr. Xu.”

Lin Jinxu stepped forward and helped the staff officer up.

“With General Lin’s presence, Jishui Village is honored.”

Old Village Chief of Jishui Village, with help from his two sons, pushed through the infatuated girls and came to the front.

“My humble home is by the river channel. Please don’t despise our simple fare, General. Please have a meal at our house and allow me to represent the entire village in expressing our gratitude for your kindness.”

“Old Village Chief, there’s no need to be so polite.”

Lin Jinxu smiled as he declined, “I just happened to be passing by. I have urgent matters to attend to and must leave immediately.”

“Are you really leaving, General?”

Old Village Chief’s eyes dimmed with disappointment, “Are you returning to Fengqi and not coming back?”

Lin Jinxu didn’t deny it, “I won’t be back for a while.”

“Ah!”

A gasp came from all around, and the admiring girls’ hearts shattered.

Liu Qingqing felt a strange discomfort well up inside her, and she shook her head vigorously, trying to shake off the feeling.

“So what if he’s leaving? What’s the big deal?”

As she thought, she unintentionally said it out loud.

Her voice was a bit loud, and everyone within a ten-meter radius heard her.

The girls glared at her with fury, as if they wanted to tear her heart into pieces.

Lin Jinxu’s eyebrows slightly furrowed. He subconsciously felt that the voice was familiar. He looked over the girls’ heads and saw Liu Qingqing. His eyes flashed briefly.
