The soldiers and officers of the Gamma Military Zone, in particular the members of the 4th Battalion, all raised their heads to look at this young man who was going to be their new boss, and began gossiping animatedly.
He was able to get appointed as Advisor to the military zone and concurrent Captain of the 4th Battalion at such a young age. On top of that, he leapfrogged two ranks and straightaway assumed the position of Captain of the 4th Battalion.
This was unprecedented in all the military zones. Inevitably, people's tongues started wagging, speculating whether this Lu Yu guy ascended to this position due to connections.
"Silence!"
Xu Qingguo barked out and all the cultivators in the compound instantly quieted down. He said in a grave voice, "I have personally witnessed Lu Yu's contributions and actual abilities. I can cross my heart and assure you that he definitely possesses the ability to take on this position."
