102: Why couldn't I find her name in Chapter 102?

The four of them walked all the way down from the hilltop villa area, heading straight for the Student Service Center.

President Ji Guyan walked at the very front, dressed in white with black hair, his pace unhurried. As they passed the training square, several freshmen nearby were stunned for a moment, and then their eyes lit up.

"Is that... President Ji Guyan?"

"Holy crap, it really is him!!!"

"He looks even more handsome in person than in the terminal profile!!"

A girl who had been talking to her companion lowered her voice after seeing President Ji Guyan, her earlobes turning slightly red. Her gaze remained glued to him, and it took her a while before she whispered,

"Then who is that next to him? He's quite handsome too..."

Lu Cheng's mouth twitched when he heard that.

Handsome is handsome, so why add the "too"?

At this moment, a boy nearby who was clearly well-informed immediately chimed in, his tone filled with suppressed excitement.

"You don't even know him? That's Lu Cheng."

"Lu Cheng?"

"He's the one who ranked first in the entrance points! Two hundred points, edging out President Ji Guyan. He's the one living in the number one villa on the hilltop!"

As soon as these words were spoken, several people around them turned to look in unison.

Lu Cheng could clearly feel the number of gazes upon him increase significantly.

President Ji Guyan was used to it; his expression didn't change in the slightest, and he simply gestured toward the direction of the Student Service Center.

"It's just ahead."

The Student Service Center was a semi-open building with many people coming and going. Inside, light screens floated in the air, and windows were lined up. Everything from club recruitment, course scheduling, task posting, to accommodation permission adjustments could be handled here.

As soon as the group entered, a staff member looked up.

Upon seeing President Ji Guyan and Lu Cheng, the staff member's expression became noticeably more serious.

"Students, what business do you need to attend to?"

President Ji Guyan took a step forward, his tone gentle.

"We are here to register new members for a martial arts club."

"Alright, please present your personal terminal permissions."

The group pulled up their terminal information one by one.

The staff member tapped rapidly on the console in front of them, and a light screen unfolded to begin entering the information.

"Club name?"

"Shengwu Society."

"Shengwu Society, current president is President Ji Guyan. You need to add members: Lu Cheng, Xia Xi, and Qian Shuying, with Lu Cheng as the club advisor. Is that correct?"

"Confirmed." President Ji Guyan nodded.

Lu Cheng also pressed the confirm button.

Soon, their terminals vibrated slightly.

[Successfully joined club: Shengwu Society.]

[Current club members: 4.]

[Basic club permissions have been enabled.]

Nearby, Ding Weiran, who had previously been rejected by Lu Cheng when trying to rent a room, had not yet left and was greeting a few young masters...

Just then, he turned his head and saw Lu Cheng and President Ji Guyan registering for the club. Ding Weiran's eyes lit up instantly.

Someone from the Ji Family of the Imperial Capital!

If he could build a connection here, the previous unpleasantness would be nothing!

Thinking of this, Ding Weiran immediately left the people he was with standing there and walked over quickly, his face beaming with enthusiasm.

"Brother Lu, President Ji, what a coincidence."

Lu Cheng glanced at him, amused.

This guy really had thick skin.

Ding Weiran clearly knew that Lu Cheng had no good impression of him, so he simply turned his target to President Ji Guyan, his tone dropping very low.

"President Ji, I just heard that you were handling club procedures?"

President Ji Guyan looked at him calmly without speaking. Ding Weiran rubbed his hands together, his face full of smiles.

"It's like this, I have always admired true powerhouses. If your society is still short of people, I would also like to join. Is there any possibility of that?"

President Ji Guyan frowned slightly, and after a moment, he finally spoke, his voice calm, revealing neither joy nor anger.

"Ding Weiran, from the Ding family of the Ancient Martial Arts in Linhe City, North District 3..."

Upon hearing this, Ding Weiran's eyes lit up instantly, and he straightened his chest a bit.

He really hadn't expected that someone from the Ji Family of the Imperial Capital would actually know him.

What did this mean?

It meant that the Ding family still had some reputation outside!

The smile on his face became even brighter, and he hurriedly replied.

"Yes... I didn't expect that you, President Ji, would actually..."

Before he could finish his sentence, President Ji Guyan continued, his tone remaining calm.

"Entrance points: five. Used a teammate as a shield during the exercise."

"A piece of trash like this wants to join the society?"

The air suddenly went quiet.

Several freshmen who were handling their own procedures nearby turned their heads subconsciously.

Even the staff member behind the counter paused for a moment.

The smile on Ding Weiran's face froze on the spot, and his whole face flushed red at a speed visible to the naked eye, from his neck all the way to his ears. He almost crushed the drink in his hand.

How did he know about this matter???

He opened his mouth, but couldn't squeeze out a complete sentence for a long time.

"I... that time I was just..."

President Ji Guyan couldn't even be bothered to give him another look and had already withdrawn his gaze.

Ding Weiran stood where he was, feeling all the gazes around him pricking his face, burning hot. He wished he could crawl into a hole in the ground right then and there.

This was the third time.

This was already the third time he had been humiliated today.

Ding Weiran even began to suspect whether this lousy place was cursed for him.

Why had nothing gone right for him since he entered Navigator Academy?

In the end, he could only force a smile, which looked even worse than crying.

"Sorry... sorry to bother you."

After saying this, he turned and left, his footsteps so fast they almost created a breeze, afraid of staying even one more second.

After the procedures were finished, the staff member synced an electronic copy of the club charter to their terminals.

"The basic permissions for the Shengwu Society have all been enabled. If you need to apply for event venues, club funding, or eligibility for external tasks in the future, you can submit them through your terminals. The president and the club advisor have level-one approval authority."

"Alright, thank you." President Ji Guyan nodded.

The group walked out of the service center. The light outside was brighter than before, and there were still many students coming and going.

President Ji Guyan raised his hand to look at his terminal, seemingly having other arrangements, and then turned his head to look at Lu Cheng.

"Brother Lu, there are still some follow-up matters for the club that I need to handle, so I will take my leave first. If there is a need, I will contact you via SuperMessage."

After saying this, he nodded to Xia Xi and Qian Shuying as well, and turned to leave.

The white-clad figure still attracted many gazes as he passed through the crowd.

Xia Xi and Qian Shuying looked at each other; it was as if both women had remembered something at the same time.

The next second, Xia Xi spoke first.

"Lu Cheng, Shuying and I are going to buy some daily necessities. We'll contact you via SuperMessage later."

Lu Cheng was stunned for a moment.

"The two of you together?"

"Yeah," Xia Xi said as if it were a matter of course. "The villa is empty, we still have to buy a lot of things ourselves..."

Qian Shuying also nodded.

"We'll also take a look at the layout of the commercial district in the academy while we're at it; it'll come in handy later."

Lu Cheng thought about it, and it did indeed make sense.

"Alright, you go ahead, message me if anything comes up."

"Got it." Xia Xi waved her hand.

After saying this, the two women walked side by side toward the commercial district.

Lu Cheng stood there watching for two seconds, then rubbed his chin.

Now that everyone had dispersed.

He could just go and take care of another matter.

His mother had mentioned before that upon arriving at Navigator Academy, if he needed anything, he could go find a person named Mei Wushuang.

It was just that so much time had passed, it was hard to say whether that person was still at the academy.

If he were to use that name to get things done later, only to find out the person had long since left, that would be a huge joke.

"Better go confirm first."

Lu Cheng muttered to himself and turned to walk toward the faculty office area.

Along the way, he passed several teaching buildings and training grounds, where many freshmen and seniors were coming and going.

But as he walked, Lu Cheng's brows furrowed slightly.

He didn't know if it was just his imagination.

He kept feeling... that someone was watching him. Lu Cheng didn't stop walking, but he scanned his surroundings with his peripheral vision, keeping his composure.

There were people at the corner of the corridor, people under the shade of the trees, and people on the distant viewing stands.

Everyone looked normal.

But that faint, lingering feeling of being watched never dissipated.

"Tsk."

Lu Cheng clicked his tongue lightly in his heart, but since Seeking Good Fortune and Avoiding Bad Luck hadn't triggered, it should be fine.

He didn't pay too much attention to it and continued walking forward.

A few minutes later, he reached the faculty offices.

Lu Cheng pushed the door open and went in. It was very quiet inside, with rows of electronic archive screens and a master directory query terminal along the walls.

He walked straight to the master directory, raised his hand to open the search interface, and entered three characters.

Mei Wushuang.

The light screen flickered.

The next second, the search result came up empty.

Lu Cheng stared at that prompt for two seconds, his brows slowly furrowing.

"Maybe my mother remembered it wrong..."
