"She's a beautiful little girl," Ling Tianwang finally had such an idea in his heart.

However, Ling Tianwang quickly suppressed the restlessness in his heart and quietly sat on the side, waiting for the competition to start.

As the sun rose higher and higher, the weather gradually became hot and dry. Standing under the scorching sun, Zhou Ruo'an's face soon turned red.

"Miss," Hongxiu carefully held up the umbrella for her and suggested, "Do you want to take a rest?"

Wiping away the sweat on her forehead, Zhou Ruo'an slowly nodded her head. It was just a slight movement, but he felt slightly dizzy.

Zhou Ruo'an could not help but maintain this posture for a good while as she smiled wryly in her heart.

In the modern era, her physical fitness was extremely high and she had never experienced being knocked out in the sun before. She never thought that she would experience everything once she came to the ancient era.

Looking at Zhou Ruo'an's stiff posture, Hongxiu slowly withdrew her finger. She was very conflicted and didn't know what to do next.

It was only Ling Tianwang who noticed that something was wrong with Zhou Ruo'an. He glanced at Hongxiu expressionlessly and instructed in a low voice, "Help Miss Zhou over."

Feeling Ling Tianwang's gaze on her, Hongxiu couldn't help but shiver. The sun was still hot outside, but he seemed to have fallen into a world of ice and snow.

Zhou Ruo'an walked over step by step. Before she could even sit properly, someone had already approached her.

"You haven't been recuperating properly these past few days, have you?" The white-bearded old man glared at Zhou Ruo'an in dissatisfaction. As he spoke, his beard fluttered, making him look quite lively.

When he spoke, he was flustered and exasperated, but Zhou Ruo'an could feel the concern in his words, and it was that concern that made her uncomfortable.

Right now, he was alone, and other than missions, there was only missions left. He had never thought that he would also receive other people's attention.

The original owner of this body was cowardly and incompetent. No matter where he was, he would only be bullied. After his mother died, he didn't feel the slightest bit of warmth from anyone else.

As they superimposed each other, Zhou Ruo'an realized that her only warmth came from strangers.

It was really funny. Zhou Ruo'an shook her head lightly and subconsciously tried to pull her hand away.

However, the moment he did so, he was pressed to the ground by the doctor without the slightest hesitation.

"Don't move!" The doctor said unhappily, "I'll take your pulse."

Zhou Ruo'an moved her fingers uncomfortably, but she still allowed him to move freely.

Ling Tianwang, who was sitting beside her, turned his head and could see Zhou Ruo'an's expression.

"You really should take good care of yourself," Ling Tianwang said.

Hearing his voice, Zhou Ruo'an glared at him in dissatisfaction and warned, "You'd better watch their match."

Ling Tianwang closed the fan in his hand and didn't say anything more.

Seeing the way Ling Tianwang and Zhou Ruo'an were getting along, the Vice Commander could not help but show his teeth and felt a burst of panic in his heart.

The Vice Commander couldn't help but think in his heart, and he looked at Zhou Ruo'an with disgust.

Zhou Ruo'an casually turned her head to look at the Vice Commander with a sharp gaze.

However, the warmth in her heart continued to undulate. Zhou Ruo'an only gave him a warning glance, but didn't do anything else.

The Vice Commander secretly let out a breath of relief, slowly calming down.

"Is this really the big miss of Zhou Family?" The Vice Commander couldn't help but think in his heart.

Unaware that there were already people suspicious of her identity, Zhou Ruo'an looked at the people coming and going quietly with no change in her expression.

However, Ling Tianwang, who sat beside her, kept looking at her, intentionally or unintentionally.

After an unknown amount of time, the result of this battle was finally determined.

"Reporting to your highness," Lin Chen said as he walked up to him. His luggage was crisp and clean, and his armor made quite a loud noise when it clashed with each other. "This round, the 23-man team won."

Zhou Ruo'an wasn't surprised to hear such an outcome. She raised her eyebrows complacently.

"I won," Zhou Ruo'an said loudly. She stared straight at Ling Tianwang as if she was waiting for something.

"It's really surprising," Ling Tianwang knocked on his palm at a leisurely pace, looking at Zhou Ruo'an with an inquisitive gaze.

Zhou Ruo'an didn't seem to mind as she looked back at him, asking cautiously, "You won't go back on your word, right?"

Forcefully angered by Zhou Ruo'an's distrustful expression, Ling Tianwang pointed at himself and asked, "I'm a dignified Ning Wang, do you think I don't know how to keep my promise?"

Zhou Ruo'an pursed her lips. Although she didn't really speak, the meaning behind her expression was clear.

"I gave you permission to stay in the barracks." Ling Tianwang said directly.

After she had finally achieved her goal, a trace of a smile flashed across Zhou Ruo'an's eyes. Her charming face was dazzling to the extreme.

"Thank you!" Zhou Ruo'an cupped her hands and said.

Ling Tianwang waved his hand disapprovingly. This was an army under his command, it was easy for a single person to get involved, but …

"Are you sure you're dressed like this when you get to the barracks?" Ling Tianwang asked.

Zhou Ruo'an looked up and down and looked at Ling Tianwang with a puzzled expression. She asked, "Is there anything inappropriate about it?"

"..." "Everyone in the military camp is a man," Ling Tianwang said with difficulty after a moment of silence. His eyelids drooped slightly, blocking the light that was coming out of his eyes.

Zhou Ruo'an raised her hand to scratch her chin. She still didn't think it was a big deal and said disapprovingly, "It's no big deal."

Seeing Zhou Ruo'an's sloppy manner, Ling Tianwang couldn't help but get angry. He took a deep breath and said while gritting his teeth, "Don't you want your own reputation?"

Looking at Ling Tianwang's serious expression, Zhou Ruo'an nodded reluctantly. She finally remembered that this was an ancient era where women were often asked for by others.

"I will wear men's clothes," Zhou Ruo'an said coldly.

Seeing that Ling Tianwang wanted to say something, Zhou Ruo'an glared at him in dissatisfaction. She warned him, "This is something that you have already agreed to."

Forget it, tell people to take care of him more. Ling Tianwang slowly made up his mind and didn't say anything more.

Zhou Ruo'an glanced at him nonchalantly, then got up and walked down the stairs.

"Miss Zhou?" Ling Tianwang shouted softly. There was a bit of doubt in his tone.

"They've won," Zhou Ruo'an didn't reply, but she still didn't know what to say.

However, Ling Tianwang strangely understood the meaning behind Zhou Ruo'an's words and didn't say anything more.
