Hearing Jing Chen's words, Ling Qi seemed confused, looking at him and suddenly said, "Not taking off your jacket?" There are quite a few people here. Although the weather isn't terrible, wearing a jacket is still somewhat restrictive. Plus, he's going into a duel.
Ling Qi indicated he wanted to remind him again.
However.
Jing Chen: "No need." If the people in front of him had the skills of Ying Sun and the others, he might have considered it. Unfortunately, they do not.
These are just a group of new recruits who have recently joined the military camp and need further training.
Among them, Jing Chen knows some of the rookies. He's fully aware of Jing Youlan's capabilities. Taking off his jacket, there's no need. These rookies don't deserve his respect quite yet.
Moving his feet, step by step, he draws closer towards the Main Gate. Danger strikes in that moment.
Watching Jing Chen's retreating figure, Ling Qi's eyes... were filled with schadenfreude.
