Those who trained outside the province set off first, while Ling Chengyan prepared to lead the remaining twenty soldiers to the coastal marshland for wilderness training.
They were set to leave the next day, and Ling Chengyan instructed Xu Dong, who was staying back, about various affairs, while Xu Dong hurriedly reported and discussed several issues with Ling Chengyan.
Once the work matters were settled, Xu Dong said, "The boys finally found someone they liked, and now they're leaving for over a month with no news at all. Should we do something... so things don't just fall apart?"
Ling Chengyan looked at him indifferently, "It's only a month of training; if they run, they run."
