Chapter 65: A Detailed Account of the Gains

Wen Chengjian sighed silently. His father was right. He was the eldest among the younger generation, and he was the eldest in any group. If he didn't say so, who would?

“Father, I have learned the fourth chapter of this technique, but I am not yet fully proficient in it and need to practice more. My second brother has learned the third chapter, but he is not yet fully familiar with the second chapter. My sister has just learned the second chapter, but she has made great progress and I estimate that she will soon surpass my second brother and me.”

Huh? Wenwen suddenly looked up, her eyes darting around. She really wanted to ask: Big brother, you think so highly of me, when will I be able to surpass you guys? Give me a timeframe, and I'll work harder.

Wen Chengjian gave him an encouraging look.

Knowing Wenwen's grandmother, when her eyes were darting around, her warm palm would hold her little hand and gently pat the back of her hand, as if telling her to be patient and not to be impatient.

Wenwen was instantly warmed by this, and snuggled up to her grandmother, her eyes crinkling with a smile as she continued to listen attentively.

Wen Chengjian continued, "Third Uncle has already grasped the basics of the first chapter, but Fourth Brother still needs to memorize the key points."

Wen Qilin pondered for a moment, then said, "Then you should all share your thoughts and feelings. Erlang, you go first."

Wen Chengbin scratched his head and said, "I try my best to follow my older brother's training, taking one step at a time. If my older brother runs in a straight line, I run in a straight line. If my older brother runs in a curve, I follow without hesitation."

Wen Qiyuan slapped him angrily: "You brat, can't you talk properly? Your older brother must have his reasons for going for the curve. Dalang, don't worry about him, you decide whether it's a straight line or a curve."

Wen Chengjian twitched his lips, unable to express his bitterness. The decision of whether to use a straight line or a curve was not up to him, but depended on the on-the-spot command of the two people beside him.

He glanced at Wen Qikang and Wen Wen with a sullen look.

The two men immediately understood what he meant and lowered their heads in shame, remaining silent.

Seeing the tension in the three men's eyes, Wen Yuanqian, based on his experience, judged that the third brother, this lazybones, would definitely cause trouble and might corrupt the other younger ones.

He raised his hand. "Third brother, tell me, when eldest brother led you all away, did you ever gain any insights?"

Wen Qikang sat up straight and thought seriously for a moment: "Hmm, when I was running with it on, it felt...it felt like I was running very fast..."

Wen Qikang tried to sense it for a long time, but couldn't feel anything special.

Wen Qilin gave his younger brother a way out, turning to Wenwen and asking, "Wen'er, when your older brother was running with you and your third uncle, did you notice his pace?"

Wenwen had already thought that rather than being hesitant and secretive, it would be better to tell the whole story honestly. Besides, there was absolutely no need to hide this.

She replied sweetly, "I didn't notice, not at all."

Wow, that's incredibly stubborn, answering with such confidence.

Wen Chengjian and Wen Chengbin gasped; they had witnessed Wen Qilin's incorruptibility firsthand.

Back then, many people in the barracks secretly called him the Cold-Faced General.

Wen Qilin controlled his temper, his voice softening slightly, "Didn't you notice? Is Wen'er scared?"

Wenwen wasn't stupid; her father's initiative to soften his stance showed that he still cared about his little darling.

She played to her strengths as a daughter, saying, "Don't worry, Daddy, Wen'er isn't afraid. When my older brother led the way, my third uncle and I were so busy looking back at the explosion that we didn't even have time to pay attention to the steps."

Wen Qilin frowned and turned to ask, "Big Brother, didn't you remind them?"

Wen Chengjian felt a bitter taste in his mouth. He had no time to remind them. The two of them kept telling him to go left and right, giving him no time to speak at all.

Wenwen glanced at his hesitant expression, then at her third uncle, and quickly said, "Father, it's not my eldest brother's fault. My third uncle and I were directing him."

"Command? Command what?"

"Yes, we need to have our older brother move to the left or right so we can see the blast radius clearly."

"Ah, Big Brother ran the curves because of you guys!"

"Third brother, this was your idea, wasn't it?"

Wen Qikang was a little embarrassed when he was called out. "Father, yes, it was my idea."

"Hmph, I knew it. Who else but you could do that? You're really being ridiculous."

Wen Qilin was amused and annoyed. With the third brother leading the way, these kids would only come up with more tricks.

"You guys are really wasting your time. If your second uncle and I had this opportunity, we would be eager to practice non-stop."

"Brother, what you said really resonated with me. I will definitely not waste a single moment of this opportunity. You guys are truly blessed but don't know it."

Wen Chengbin has a strong natural desire to share, and the expressions of Wen Qilin and Wen Qiyuan softened, which made him relax. "Grandfather, Uncle, Father, let me tell you, we really haven't stopped for a moment, we've been training like crazy."

Wen Qilin didn't believe it. "Hmm, you guys actually have this kind of awareness?"

Wen Qiyuan was even more skeptical. "You'd better tell me properly how you plan to train so intensely."

Wen Chengbin ran his hand through his hair, looking smug. “Let me tell you, we’ve been to several mountains, practicing in different locations. We’re here one minute and there the next, with very little time to rest.”

Wen Yuanqian became interested. "Oh, what do you mean?"

Wen Qiyuan still couldn't stand Wen Chengbin's smugness. "You little brat, are you trying to pick corn? You're talking nonsense. Speak properly. If you keep rambling on, I'll teach you a lesson."

Wen Chengbin became excited, "Hehehe, Dad, don't worry."

Wen Qilin interrupted them, "Second brother, calm down. Second brother, make your point."

"We were practicing halfway up the mountain at first, and then suddenly there was an explosion over my sister's side. Oh my god, you have no idea how loud it was, it was like..."

Wen Chengbin was about to use every adjective he could think of to deliver a passionate speech.

Unexpectedly, Wen Qiyuan quickly interrupted, "Stop, why use so many words? Think it over and say the important ones."

"Uh, okay. After hearing the sound, we rushed over to find Fifth Sister, and then we discussed working together to start a fire. At the critical moment, my eldest brother and I were responsible for leading them out of the blast radius. After the explosions, we picked up a few pieces of broken tile and gave them to Second Aunt. Then we encountered a pack of wolves. After we fought off the wolves, many more animals came. Then we ran away with my sister, and then..."

Even though Wen Chengbin's language was dry and lacking in expression, he was speaking with great interest.

"Cough, cough, cough."

Wen Yuanqian interrupted him, "Wait, you've encountered a pack of wolves, cough cough, cough... how many wolves are there?"

Wen Yuanqian was so excited that he couldn't catch his breath.

Wen Chengfeng happened to be next to Wen Yuanqian and reached out to help him catch his breath. "Grandfather, it's not much, not much, really not much."

"Father, don't worry, they're all here with us, they're all fine."

Wenwen joined in, speaking quickly, "Grandfather, don't worry, my eldest and second brothers are really amazing. Let me tell you, each of them has a, uh, a wooden stick, and their sticks are as swift as the wind and as fast as lightning. With each swing and sweep, they have everything under their control. I saw it clearly from the tree. Even if there were a dozen or so more wolves, it wouldn't be a problem for my eldest and second brothers."

"Big brother, second brother, am I right?"
