Hidden Marriage: Spoiled by the Imperial Commander-Chapter 384: Nobody’s Optimistic

Yan Qianyi turned her head and saw the Commander and Deputy Officer Pei walking towards her with long strides.

Mai Hunter respectfully took a step back.

Yan Qianyi nodded, "That’s fine."

Since it was the Commander’s wish for her to compete, even if she didn’t want to wear herself out, she would not refuse.

After all, she had joined the Federation Military Academy for him.

She aspired to become someone like him, who could protect the nation, and even more, she hoped to gain his recognition.

Mai Hunter frowned slightly, "Qianyi, don’t push yourself, I’m worried you’ll get very tired running between both events."

Yan Qianyi smiled, "It’s okay, I won’t be tired."

She had just finished one event, and now she had nothing else to do.

There was another competition in the afternoon.

Anyway, she could resolve the fights quickly.

Moreover, if she could win championships in both events, proving her strength and value, the Federation Empire would value her more, and she would be in a better position to apply for special treatment.

"That’s good then," Mai Hunter said, "Luckily, the competition times for the Medical Department and Special Department don’t overlap."

Yan Qianyi asked, "When does the Medical Department’s competition start?"

Mai Hunter replied, "In half an hour."

Yan Qianyi thought for a moment and turned to Deputy Officer Pei, who was following behind the Commander, "Could I trouble Deputy Officer Pei to fetch something for me from the hotel?"

Without waiting for the Commander’s approval, Pei Yuexuan himself agreed, "No problem!"

The Masked Divine Doctor was his idol!

Ever since he found out Yan Qianyi was the Masked Divine Doctor, Pei Yuexuan had been praying every day that she and Mu Yunlie would reconcile soon.

Yan Qianyi went up to Pei Yuexuan and quietly said to him, "Help me retrieve my silver needle, it’s on my bedside table."

"Okay, I’ll go right now!" Pei Yuexuan turned and left.

The onlookers were all stunned.

In this world, only the Commander could give orders to Deputy Officer Pei.

Even if the King had something to command Deputy Officer Pei to do, it had to be approved by the Commander first.

The cadets watching were either envious and admiring of Yan Qianyi or jealous and disdainful.

Yan Qianyi was only focused on the competition and hadn’t considered whether her actions were appropriate.

Only Mai Hunter and Deputy Officer Pei at the scene knew about her identity as the Masked Divine Doctor.

Mai Hunter had to stay to arrange for the other cadets, so she had no choice but to trouble Deputy Officer Pei.

Besides, she thought that, given Deputy Officer Pei’s status, he would have easier access and be able to retrieve the silver needle more quickly for her.

"Then perform well," the Commander glanced at Yan Qianyi and then turned to leave.

In Mu Yunlie’s heart, he naturally didn’t want the woman he loved to overexert herself.

But now, with the glory of the nation at stake, when the Medical Department’s candidate couldn’t compete, his first thought was of Yan Qianyi.

He remembered she once told him she wanted to be an excellent person and, in the future, once she joined the Military Department, she even aspired to be a commander.

So this was a great opportunity for her as well.

If she could win championships in both fields and prove her abilities and value to everyone.

So when she graduated and entered the Military Department, he would have a reason to push her from behind and help her achieve the position of Commander that she longed for.

After Mu Yunlie left, the students backstage were all buzzing with discussion, each looking at Yan Qianyi with different eyes.

Even Yun Mu’s gaze upon Yan Qianyi had changed somewhat.

Vice Officer Pei had arranged for him to be sent to the Federation Military Academy to monitor Yan Qianyi’s every move. Initially, he thought it was because Yan Qianyi’s brother was Prince Yao, the Military Department wanted to check if she was a spy.

But now, seeing the relationship between Yan Qianyi and Vice Officer Pei, he was certain that Yan Qianyi must be someone the Federation Empire wanted to make good use of, which is why he had been assigned to protect her covertly.

"Qianyi, let’s go. I’ll take you to the Medical Department."

Mai Hunter took Yan Qianyi to the Medical Department and left after handing her over to the department’s teacher.

The teacher of the Medical Department briefed Yan Qianyi briefly and did not pay much mind to this substitute.

Even though the Commander had personally named Yan Qianyi to be the substitute.

But those who didn’t know about Yan Qianyi’s medical skill thought that she was just from a family that ran a hospital and had a little medical knowledge.

The Commander only didn’t want the Federation Empire’s competition stage to lack participants, so he brought her in to make up the numbers.

After all, without professional medical training, she would definitely be eliminated in the first round.

No one thought highly of Yan Qianyi.

After the teacher from the Medical Department left, the waiting competitors immediately started discussing.

"Do you think the Commander really believes she’s capable, or is he just having her come to make up the numbers?"

"I heard that during the freshmen’s outdoor comprehensive training, she cured a terrorist of poisoning. At that time, Commander’s personal Military Doctor Lawrence even offered her contact information, saying he wanted to discuss medical skills with her. Maybe she’s really got something?"

"I doubt it. Maybe she just happened to carry the antidote with her at that time, after all, the Yan Family still develops drugs."

Yan Qianyi ignored the discussions around her.

This year’s International Military Academy Friendship Competition was different from previous years.

In past years, each department would only send the first place of their division to the international competition.

This year more people were given the chance.

The top three of each department could compete.

In this backstage area, there were not only people from the Medical Department, and the incessant chatter was never-ending.

Ning Nuan approached Yan Qianyi and took her hand affectionately, "Qianyi, don’t mind what they’re saying. Let’s go over here."

Feeling some resistance when Ning Nuan held her hand, Yan Qianyi didn’t want to shake it off in public, so she followed her to a quieter spot.

Although there had been some unpleasantness at the Nangong Family’s place last time due to the durian incident, Ning Nuan’s attitude towards Yan Qianyi was still as gentle and kind as before.

It was as if Ning Nuan had really lost her composure that night because she was too worried about Nangong Jie’s health.

"Qianyi, don’t feel pressured, just play it by ear when you go on stage later. You’re not from the Medical Department, so even if you lose, there’s no shame in it."

Looking at Ning Nuan’s gentle smile, Yan Qianyi didn’t know whether she was sincerely comforting her or had other intentions.

Ever since Yan Qianyi suspected that Ning Nuan was the one who had spread the news of her breakup with Mu Yunlie, every word and action of Ning Nuan made her think twice.

Yan Qianyi smiled, "Thanks, but I have no intention of just scraping by."

Perhaps everyone’s speculation was not wrong; after all, the Commander didn’t know she was the Masked Divine Doctor and might have just thought she knew a bit of medical skill, which is why he let her join.

But since she had come, she wanted to do her best.

Ning Nuan’s smile froze imperceptibly for a moment.

"Alright, then good luck. I hope you can perform as well as you did on the Special Department’s field. I just saw your competition on the screen, you won beautifully!"
