Stuck in a Chinese novel

"What are you doing here?" Commander Rong of the CSF came to greet the sect master of the Thunder Cloud Tempest Sect. The sect master smiled, and replied to the impolite welcome, "Well, I've lent you one my best disciples, haven't I? I've just come to check up on him."

"This isn't a park where you can just come and go." Commander Rong replied with a displeased expression.

"Is that so? Well, I remember someone barging into my sect to check up on something." The sect master said while tapping his chin.

"We paid the appropriate price." Commander Rong replied.

"And isn't it enough price to give you a Master ranked cultivator?" The sect master asked.

Commander Rong had no answer to that. He simply remained silent about that and asked, "Well, what do you want?"

"I want to meet him. Call him for me," The sect master simply said. While the way he said seemed like he was giving out an order, Commander Rong had no choice but to stomach it.

Besides, the matter was about to get complicated so he needed to placate him as well.

"He's currently on a dungeon expedition. You will have to wait." Commander Rong said.

"Very well. Take me to the dungeon he is in." The sect master said, "I'm short on time, you see."

"It's a military dungeon," Commander Rong replied.

"It's a threat to humanity." The sect master once again said with a smile. Gritting his teeth, Commander Rong had no choice but to lead the sect master to the dungeon. As they arrived, the sect master's expression turned to one of distaste as he asked, "Remind me again. What was the cultivation realm of Wei Jun Ruan?"

"…" Commander Rong remained quiet.

"Let me answer for you. Master rank. Yet this is an S rank dungeon, for grandmasters. Don't tell me you sent him to this dungeon. That wouldn't mean well for you." A clear-cut threat. Still, Commander Rong had an answer prepared.

"It was a test of his capabilities. Besides, Commander Zhao is in there with them." Commander Rong replied.

The sect master looked at Commander Rong, his expression not really readable as he said, "Well, if anything happened to him, I'm sure the military and the CSF would take appropriate responsibility."

Compensation for a master rank cultivator. There weren't many of those and the compensation for those was naturally very high. Commander Rong remained silent, hoping nothing went wrong.

If Wei Jun were to join them, then all was good and they could use the emperor's authority to deal with the sect master. And if he died, well, things would get a little troublesome then, but they were still confident about dealing with the matter at hand.

With that done, they simply waited for anyone to come out and it wasn't long before the dungeon portal turned to normal. It was a sign of it being cleared. Shortly afterward, someone could be seen exiting the dungeon. As Wei Jun came out, he was welcomed by two people standing at the forefront.

One of them was the sect master and the other man was someone he had seen on TV. His girlfriend's father. He didn't have a good feeling about this one. Still, he gave an appropriate salute and then turned to the sect master.

"What brings you here, sect master?" Wei Jun asked.

"I have a task for you but that is for later. Where are the rest of your comrades?" The sect master asked since no one else came out.

"I don't know. Seeing the wyvern dungeon, I was asked to remain behind and the other went to clear it. Commander Zhao said something about a red wyvern and then left. I remained in my place and when the gate was cleared, I came out." Wei Jun replied, his answer as innocent as it could be, and from the way he said it, it didn't sound rehearsed at all.

"What?" Commander Rong, of course, didn't believe him. But there was no sob story as usual and there was nothing this boy could have done against Commander Zhao so the story logically made sense.

There was no way that Wei Jun could have done anything to the entire team on his own so doubting him was out of the question. Even if he was aware of their plans, he wouldn't have been able to predict so far.

So they waited. They waited for the rest of the team to come out as well but not after half an hour, the dungeon gate began to close.

"Something's not right," Commander Rong said but he didn't move from his place. Whatever it was, there was nothing he could do for those who were inside because if he went inside, he would be trapped inside as well.

"Tch," Commander Rong tutted before he turned to Wei Jun and said, "Tell me what happened in there, boy."

"You're not saying it is his fault, are you?" The sect master asked, standing between the commander and Wei Jun.

"This is a military matter." Commander Rong threateningly said.

"And I'm not saying it isn't. But my disciple was just following orders." The sect master said, not moving a bit. Seeing there was nothing he could do here, Commander Rong turned to Wei Jun and said, "An investigation will be held into this matter. Be prepared."

With that, Commander Rong left, to deal with the headache that was soon to come on his head. All said and done, it was the CSF who had planned this scenario with the military. They had something to hide as well. If they were embroiled in this investigation and that fact was to come to light, the Thunder Cloud Tempest Sect wouldn't let go of it so easily. Even the emperor wouldn't be able to do anything about it.

Once he was gone, Wei Jun turned to the sect master and said, "It's good to see you on time."

Wei Jun would have been screwed heavily had the sect master not arrived on time. The sect master corked an eyebrow but didn't reply to that comment. Instead, he asked, "I assume you're done here?"

"Not yet," Wei Jun replied.

"If you stay here, they will create troubles for you," The sect master replied. It was true that Wei Jun couldn't expect a peaceful life what had happened. After all, a Brigadier, a grandmaster, and many talented prospects were lost to that dungeon.

If Wei Jun were to stay there, he would be blamed without question and if he was, he wouldn't be able to weasel his way out of it. The best course of action was to leave with the sect master but Wei Jun couldn't do that yet.

After all, there was one more agenda left in the military. While Wei Jun could have devised another plan to deal with him had he not been in the military, since he was already here, he wouldn't mind going through some problems if his other problem was reduced greatly.

His problem of approaching the current protagonist.

"For now, I'll stay," Wei Jun replied before he looked at his hand, "After all, there wouldn't be much the military would be able to do to me now that I have a hidden card."

"What hidden card?" The sect master asked but Wei Jun simply smiled to that question. Getting no answer out of Wei Jun, the sect master sighed and left, after making sure his prospect wouldn't be embroiled in any unjust investigation.

With him gone as well and Wei Jun being cleared shortly afterwards, he returned to his platoon but as soon as he arrived, there was a soldier waiting for him at the entrance of his platoon dorms.

"Private Wei Jun Ruan?" The man standing at his door asked, his expression neutral. One catchy thing about him was his handsomeness and…

[You have encountered the protagonist of the current novel]

Wei Jun looked at the man without any change in his expression and asked, "Private Wei Jun Ruan reporting, sir."

"You will be joining my platoon from tomorrow onwards. Your platoon will be taken care of by someone else. Be at the barracks number 10 in the morning." With those words, Huatan Yang didn't even wait for a reply and left.

As for Wei Jun, he remained in his spot until after he was gone. Once he was, he finally turned to his hand and said, "Would you settle down now?"

"YOU FU*KER!!! HOW DARE YOU?!!!" He could hear screaming in his head, "YOU THINK I WILL LET YOU GO AFTER THIS?!!!"

"I know you won't. That's why I've done this," Wei Jun replied.

[Contract nullifier]

[Cost: 10,000,000]

An item that was available in the shop for just a billion yuan. The function of it was very simple. Any and all contract penalties would be nullified.

In simpler words, Wei Jun would have been penalized had he not released the wyvern from his seal, with that item, even if he didn't release the wyvern from the familiar seal, no penalty would befall him.

"Haha." Wei Jun chuckled and said, "Sucker."
