The Star Academy's second exchange students had finally arrived!
But the Eastern Wei Academy students who had experienced their first excitement didn't make much of a fuss. Only the powerful students and teachers like Hong Tao were inwardly shocked.
The students from the Star Academy were a lot stronger than the first time, and almost all of them had unfathomable depths.
"Qing Qing has arrived." Wang Ze's words carried some love, as well as a faint sense of respect.
Yin Chenjiu and the others next to him were all bowing slightly with adoration on their faces. People who didn't know better would have thought they were welcoming their instructors.
"You've worked hard, seniors." It was a woman with long hair who spoke in a light and elegant voice.
The woman's features were ordinary, but she had a quiet and elegant temperament.
She was wearing a light blue dress, and was unspeakably gentle and serene.
Every single move she made was like a gentle breeze, gentle and calm.
Wang Ze was stunned, but then reacted, and said with a bitter smile, "Qing Qing's charm is getting stronger and stronger, and even I can't stand it."
Taking a look at the crowd behind her, Wang Ze breathed a sigh of relief, "It looks like the president is willing to go all out this time."
Qing Qing pursed her lips into a smile, but didn't say anything.
The Star Academy didn't divide the inner and outer courtyards as much as outsiders thought. Everyone there was familiar with each other, and immediately greeted each other.
Most of those who came to greet them were the exchange students from the Star Academy, with only a few teachers from the Eastern Wei Academy, as well as Hong Tao and Zuo Tingyi.
Wang Ze then introduced everyone from the Eastern Wei Academy, and when he introduced Zuo Tingyi, Qing Qing said with a smile, "So it turns out that senior Tingyi is from the Zuo family. No wonder I always felt that you had the air of an aristocratic family, and I look forward to your guidance."
Zuo Tingyi replied, "Junior Qing Qing is too kind. My humble family is only a remote landowner, and can't be said to be an aristocratic family.
Junior Sister Qingqing is the one who is truly extraordinary! "
Zuo Tingyi wasn't just being modest. Although the Zuo family had some influence in Eastern Shang-Wei City, they weren't even ranked in the Heavenly Federation, and naturally couldn't be said to be an aristocratic family.
The Star Academy was a place where true talents came out in large numbers. Although this Qing Qing in front of him wasn't well-known, her simple and elegant demeanor had already surpassed who knows how many aristocratic children.
But Zuo Tingyi was outstanding, whether in terms of demeanor or other aspects.
Even the more picky people from the Star Academy admired him.
Zuo Tingyi promptly returned the gesture with a smile.
Qing Qing smiled lightly, "I don't know when senior will have time to take Qing Qing to appreciate the beauty of Eastern Shang-Wei City."
This ordinary and warm smile made Zuo Tingyi, who was used to seeing countless beautiful women, stare blankly. After a long while, he bowed his head in salute and said, "I am willing to be at your service."
The others were obviously used to this kind of situation and didn't mind.
"You're too weak. You'll die easily."
The demonic woman's voice didn't sound so awkward to Chen Mu anymore. "You're still useful, so you can't die for the time being."
The demonic woman's concluding remarks criticized Chen Mu as worthless.
But fortunately, he also knew how much he was worth, and as for the Demonic Woman's theory of usefulness, he accepted it.
A long time ago, he no longer had those naive thoughts.
In this world, besides parents and relatives, no one has the obligation to treat you well.
If you want something, you have to fight for it yourself.
The narrow attic was already filled with all kinds of junk, and Chen Mu had to run back and forth between them.
The first day's mission was simple: run three hundred laps.
The demonic woman's requirement was that he do his best every time.
As supervisor, the demonic woman was sitting cross-legged in the corner.
It was very dark in the attic, and the demonic woman seemed to have an unusual fondness for the dark. She closed the skylight, and not only that, but she even used something to block the faint light coming through the skylight.
It was so dark in the attic that he couldn't see his fingers in front of him.
During that time, Chen Mu's eyesight had become a lot sharper than before, but he still couldn't get used to such an environment.
And the most damning thing was that the junk was placed without any order, without any pattern.
How to get used to the dark was the first step that Chen Mu had to take.
But, looking at it so far, that first step wasn't so easy.
As soon as Chen Mu moved, he ran into a bag of beans with a bang, and quickly dodged to the side, tripping over the bag of rice and knocking over several piles of junk before stopping his fall.
But, if he slowed down even a little, the demonic woman's snake-like black vine would slap a bloody mark on his back.
By the end of the night, Chen Mu's back was crisscrossed with whip marks, which looked extremely frightening.
But, he knew that the demonic woman had a sense of propriety, and only made him feel pain to the marrow, without injuring his muscles or bones.
So, Chen Mu began the hard life of working during the day and training at night.
But, speaking of which, his physical strength by then was really quite valiant, and even he had never thought that he would be able to persevere.
Compared with the high-intensity training at night, working during the day could almost be considered rest, and his rest time was compressed to two hours a day.
Although he had gone through all kinds of training before, none of them had been as abnormal as that time.
Almost every night, he would fall with a bloody nose and a swollen face, and it was a good thing that the demonic woman had medicine, which had a wonderful effect. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to work the next day.
Sometimes, Chen Mu would also secretly guess what the demonic woman really did.
An assassin?
That guess was the most reliable. Her dark style, her endless strange methods, and her disregard for life were all the best evidence.
But, those seemingly endless and bizarre ointments made her more like a doctor.
Well, maybe she was a high-level assassin, and probably knew more, Chen Mu thought.
Chen Mu's training had finally started to improve a little.
By then, he could already feel the junk's existence, and he had already started to get used to the dark environment.
Among them, the most important thing was perception.
His range of perception was four point nine meters, and what he needed to train then was his ability to control his body.
During that time, the demonic woman began to go out frequently every night.
Every night she went out for a different length of time, and the biggest change was that her Heavenly Federation language was becoming more and more fluent.
But, she still spoke very little.
A month had passed without him noticing.
In the pitch-black attic, Chen Mu was already able to shuttle freely among the junk, and his speed was barely up to the demonic woman's minimum standard.
"You still have a month." The demonic woman suddenly opened her mouth that night.
"A month's time?" Chen Mu didn't quite understand.
The demonic woman looked at Chen Mu coldly, and said in an icy voice, "After a month, you will enter Eastern Wei Academy."
"Impossible!" Chen Mu shook his head, and without waiting for the demonic woman to ask, he explained, "Eastern Wei Academy is very difficult to enter."
"You are a sponsored student." The demonic woman pulled out a bunch of things from who knew where, "This is your information.
This is money. "The demonic woman was laying out a bunch of brightly colored money cards, which made Chen Mu break out in a cold sweat.
How many people did this guy kill to get that much money?
The demonic woman didn't seem to have any intention of explaining, but with a sudden pull, she slid everything in front of Chen Mu.
"I remember you said you were a card master?" The demonic woman continued to ask.
Chen Mu answered cautiously, "I know a little."
"Mmmm, you are entering the card making department." The demonic woman's tone didn't leave any room for Chen Mu to object.
"What do you want me to do?" Chen Mu stared at the demonic woman, when he suddenly jumped out, "Is it Star Academy?"
The demonic woman looked at him coldly, and didn't say anything.
"Every week, you will come out for two days. I have already found a place to live, and here is the key.
If there are any problems, contact me with the communications card. "She then handed over a key and a communications card.
Chen Mu silently took the communications card and the key, knowing he didn't have a choice.
"In a month's time, you will learn the most basic life-saving skills.
Every week, you will need to rely on yourself for five days. "
