263: We want to go together.
Shen Bei did not know what fate awaited a deserter.
But Shen Bei knew that Bai Wei would not escape the crime of forging documents.
Shen Bei sat on the sofa in the villa's living room, disdainfully saying, "The military advocates rules and order. You guys have learned this banditry quite well, haven't you? Stealing people's heads to fill up the ranks, right? Just watch whether I report it or not."
Bai Wei shook the material and threw it to Shen Bei: "See for yourself, is this your signature?"
Shen Bei was suspicious for a moment, then his heart sank, as if he understood something...
He grabbed it and looked.
Indeed!
There really was his signature on it, but it was a photocopy, and the signature was from the registration upon entering the main gate.
"This is no fun," Shen Bei spread his hands. "Swapping out the goods, can your conscience live with that?"
Bai Wei's eyes became very mysterious, and her laughter contained an incomprehensible emotion: "Nonsense, if you want to live here, without procedural permission, it's unreasonable. By your logic, can I also move my parents in?"
Shen Bei grunted, "Is it that serious?"
"Do you think I'm joking with you?"
Bai Wei put away the documents: "I'll get you a permit afterward; the file will be kept in the military and not uploaded."
Shen Bei chuckled, "Thanks."
"Then I ask you, why do you resist joining the army?"
"Too many rules, walking feels awkward."
Bai Wei: ...
This is a fine tradition of the army!
Don't you know 'serious and lively'?
Bai Wei rolled her eyes and said, "What's the situation on your end? Why doesn't the school have dorms?"
Shen Bei smacked his lips and found an excuse: "I'm very delicate; I don't like living with others. I'm used to living in a villa."
Bai Wei's face paled slightly, and she said sharply, "Do you mean I can't live here either?"
Shen Bei admitted, "It's just a man and a woman; it wouldn't be good for your reputation if word got out. But if you're not afraid, I don't mind."
"Heh, you're more of a bandit than I am."
"Mainly because I made such a huge sacrifice for the military..." Shen Bei emphasized, "I almost died. It's fine to stay for a few days, right? I'll leave after graduation."
Bai Wei scoffed.
This wasn't a matter of a few days, but two years.
However, Bai Wei was too lazy to argue with Shen Bei.
It must be said, Bai Wei still admired Shen Bei.
If it were anyone else used as bait, they'd be crying for their parents.
Shen Bei not only acted as if nothing had happened but also killed two enemies.
With that kind of composure, as long as Shen Bei didn't rebel against the heavens, living in the military was no problem.
Anyway, the military had plenty of dorms.
"Alright," Bai Wei stood up and said as she walked, "Live here if you want, but some areas are confidential, so get rid of any unnecessary curiosity."
Shen Bei naturally understood Bai Wei's meaning and replied, "I'm just staying here overnight, not carrying out an enemy infiltration plan."
"If you were really an enemy agent, that would be easier."
Bai Wei walked out of the villa, finally emphasizing, "The military's rules are rules; if you don't follow them, someone will naturally deal with you."
Shen Bei shrugged...
Thus, under Shen Bei's extremely thick skin, the accommodation problem was solved.
Shen Bei was very satisfied with this place.
The military!
An absolutely safe place; Nine Lives Raven wouldn't dare to step foot in it.
This was quite enjoyable.
Shen Bei chose a room as his bedroom and tidied up all his luggage.
Just like that, a day passed.
The next day.
Shen Bei left the military, crossed the street, and directly climbed over the wall to enter Provincial Capital Martial Arts University.
Another alarm sounded.
The security guards peeked out from behind the large stone, holding their phones.
"Morning."
The security guards scoffed, then shrank back.
Shen Bei first went to the Martial Arts University auditorium and mingled around.
Provincial Capital Martial Arts University did not have military training.
But there was still an opening ceremony and a speech by the principal.
Similar to Principal Zhang's draft in Lingnan City, Qiu Bu Ye's welcome speech for new students hadn't changed a single word in over ten years.
He read it verbatim.
Next came the selection of Martial Arts teachers.
In fact, on the day students reported, the university's teachers had already made a collective appearance.
They eagerly introduced their advantages to the new students.
The scene was like a political campaign, creating quite a stir.
By this time, the students already had an idea in their minds; it was just a formality.
Without any surprises... Professor Gu Xinrou's student was still only one, and that was Shen Bei.
Of course, Professor Gu Xinrou had also trained another student, but that one was a failure. Not only did he not replicate Shen Bei's path to rise, but he also wasted a lot of Cultivating time and was eventually eliminated by Provincial Capital Martial Arts University...
Fortunately, although Professor Gu Xinrou felt some guilt, that student himself didn't want to get into Provincial Capital Martial Arts University; he only wanted to obtain the Martial Artist identity to make it easier to become a civil servant.
If she had encountered a student with a twisted and unruly personality, Professor Gu Xinrou's questionable actions, which delayed their Cultivating, would surely have made them hate her to death, and even retaliation wouldn't have been impossible.
Professor Gu Xinrou also didn't actively promote herself; she remained unknown.
Now she had come to terms with it.
Having one student like Shen Bei was enough; why ask for more?
Raising a nest of worms was not as good as one Dragon like Shen Bei.
Trouble-free, effortless, relaxed, simple.
She could even go shopping, make a cucumber salad, or get a beauty treatment when she had nothing to do.
But this time, there was a bit of a surprise.
Professor Gu Xinrou actually took on several more students.
They were Jian Tong, Niu Yanben, Du Ziteng, Liao Zhongyang, and Qi Chuanyu.
According to Liao Zhongyang, he had developed a psychological shadow.
He felt that all other teachers were unreliable, and only Professor Gu Xinrou knew the ropes.
He was afraid of another Shepherd appearing and causing him to be suspected and investigated.
The others more or less held this same idea.
More importantly, they weren't familiar with other teachers and would have to expend a lot of energy to manage relationships.
But everyone knew Professor Gu Xinrou; she was practically family.
This was quite wonderful.
Thus, the number of students under Professor Gu Xinrou historically broke a record...
The new student welcome assembly ended.
Several people returned to the classroom arranged by the school.
The classroom layout was standard size.
Professor Gu Xinrou didn't stand at the podium but leaned against the desk, flipping through the curriculum outline.
"There are more courses in the third year."
Professor Gu Xinrou pointed and said, "The main learning tasks for the first and second years are to initially understand the underground caves and raise one's rank to the third tier."
"And now, for the third and fourth years, you need to complete underground cave language learning, achieve fluent conversation, and have general knowledge of herbs, minerals, Alchemy, forging, and so on."
"There are also some compulsory miscellaneous courses..."
At this moment, Shen Bei sat on the windowsill, enjoying the breeze, and asked leisurely, "What if I can't learn it?"
"Then you graduate, and you'll have no connection with Beijing Martial Arts University," Professor Gu Xinrou answered concisely and directly.
Shen Bei: ...
Qi Chuanyu cackled, "Good, good, illiterates should be eliminated."
Du Ziteng comforted, "It's okay, Shen Bei. Although you don't know the underground cave language now, if you work hard, you'll realize that you still won't know it in the future..."
Shen Bei scoffed.
It wasn't Shen Bei bragging, but as long as he got a few odd jobs tutoring children with their homework.
Once the settlement panel was activated.
His learning ability would greatly increase.
Forget underground cave languages; he could even decipher alien languages!
Then, Professor Gu Xinrou collected information on the other students, such as the Martial Skills they Cultivated, their progress, and so on.
She wanted to have a clear understanding.
Then, the first day of formal teaching began.
Underground cave language.
Among them, the one who learned the underground cave language best and spoke it most fluently was not Qi Chuanyu, nor Jian Tong.
Instead, it was Niu Yanben, who always spoke with a 'hehehe'.
This guy's learning ability was truly extraordinary.
He had even started trying to write short essays in the underground cave language.
It was just that his writing style was quite childish.
But relatively speaking, he was much stronger than the others.
Jian Tong and Qi Chuanyu could barely understand, trying to deduce the meaning and translate it, with most of their translations being completely unrelated.
"Come on, let's review the syllables and reset our learning progress. That one... Shen Bei."
Professor Gu Xinrou glanced at the blackboard, then turned and called out again, "Shen Bei? Where is he!"
It was then that everyone realized that Shen Bei, who had been leaning on the windowsill, was now gone!
Professor Gu Xinrou knew with her toes that this guy must have acted up again.
Qi Chuanyu leaned on the windowsill and looked down.
He saw that Shen Bei had already landed on the ground, cutting across the sports field, and was walking towards the school gate.
On his path, there was another person walking towards Shen Bei.
Qi Chuanyu recognized that person; it was Xiao Yong from the Xingchen Martial Arts Club!
"Hmm? Is Shen Bei going to fight?"
Qi Chuanyu's eyes widened.
He thought Shen Bei had skipped class, but it turned out he saw Xiao Yong?
A Peak showdown?
Good, good, good.
This is good.
According to typical cliché plots, the two societies usually have their subordinates fighting each other.
Then the middle ranks, then the higher ranks, and finally the big BOSS.
A movie would be pretty much finished.
One could only say it was too formulaic and modular.
But now, the leaders of the two societies were fighting directly to determine the winner, saving the people below from suffering.
Saving forty years of detours.
Wonderful!
Qi Chuanyu watched with relish and curiosity.
However... to his disappointment, Shen Bei and Xiao Yong brushed past each other, only pausing for a step before leaving.
"Coward!"
Qi Chuanyu mumbled, returned to his seat, and began studying his cultural class.
...
"Senior Xiao, when do you plan to make a move on my Zha Tian Gang?"
"Junior Shen can't wait?"
"My hands are itching. Why don't you practice with me? I really want to smash you."
"Straighten your tongue before you talk big."
The two brushed past each other, their gazes clashing, sparking a fire.
Xiao Yong turned a corner and came to a comprehensive building.
Room 103.
A school-made sign hung above it: Zha Tian Gang Society.
Xiao Yong curled his lips and kicked open the door.
The interior was not large, only about 100 square meters.
At first glance.
Xiao Yong was a bit confused.
The office assigned to Zha Tian Gang by the school was completely empty...
There wasn't even any office furniture!
"Don't these people furnish anything?"
Xiao Yong was a little disappointed.
He had originally intended to smash up the Zha Tian Gang's headquarters office while the students were in class, to vent his anger.
But...
He came in vain, empty-handed.
There was nothing inside the room.
Xiao Yong scratched his head: "They wouldn't still not know the school assigned them an office, would they?"
"Or are they still too poor to afford office supplies?"
Xiao Yong scoffed and turned to leave.
...
Meanwhile, Shen Bei stood in front of the Xingchen Martial Arts Club's detached villa.
"How impressive."
Shen Bei knew that the school would assign offices to societies for gatherings and distributing activity information within the society.
But he hadn't expected the Xingchen Martial Arts Club to rent a villa.
"Since they're so rich, they clearly don't care about money."
Shen Bei nervously licked his lips, then kicked hard, forcefully opening the heavy door with the speed of lightning.
He gripped his two sabers tightly, his body leaning slightly forward, and an Aura of readiness instantly permeated the air.
Martial Skill: Sun and Moon Annihilation Drawing Blade Technique!
Swish...
With a flick of Shen Bei's wrist, his two sabers, like two silver Dragons breaking through the air, carried an unparalleled Saber Qi that instantly soared, traversing freely within the villa and mercilessly destroying all obstacles in their path.
In an instant.
Expensive furniture shattered into countless fragments before the Saber Qi, documents scattered like snowflakes dancing in the sky; sturdy solid wood floors were torn with deep gashes, even collapsing; the walls, unable to withstand this immense power, exploded with a roar, sending bricks and stones flying.
In a flash, the once opulent interior of the villa had undergone a violent baptism, as if ravaged by a Category 12 hurricane.
When Shen Bei walked out of the villa.
The villa's decor had already transformed into a Syrian war-damaged style, a sight too horrible to behold.
Shen Bei leisurely walked out of the school gate and boarded a bus.
Departing.
To the labor market!
Working = increasing strength.
If Heaven feeds you and you don't open your mouth, are you even human?
