Chapter 105: It’s Too Late to Mend the Fence After the Sheep Have Been Lost (10)
Shen Minghuan and Shang Chi were taken on Xie Xu's starship together.
After leaving other people's territory, Xie Xu began to settle accounts, "Mo Sinian, Lu Zhiyi, Yan Ji, do you have anything to explain to me?"
Mo Sinian shook his head in shame, "Principal, this legion training ended early, is it because of us?"
Xie Xu looked at the panic of the three people and quickly realized what they were worried about. He was a little relieved, "That's not the case."
He deliberately raised his voice so that everyone could hear: "Recently, the Zerg's attacks have become more and more crazy. The legion must resist with all its strength. There is chaos and no time to take care of you."
"Students from the other three legions will also return to school in the next two days. I will discuss with the Supreme Army to give you extra training later."
Yan Ji breathed a sigh of relief and became lively again. He said unconvincedly: "We don't need them to look after us. We can also go into battle and kill the enemy."
The other students immediately looked at the principal and nodded repeatedly.
"Are you helping or making trouble? You can only drag down your comrades now."
The principal snorted coldly, "During this period of time on the front line, have you realized the gap between yourself and real soldiers? The alliance trained you, not to let you die."
"Very uncomfortable? Very dissatisfied? Then remember your unwillingness at this moment! To be frank, you are still far from becoming an excellent soldier now." The principal spoke mercilessly.
At the end, he saw Shen Minghuan standing at the back, and smiled immediately, "Of course, if you have the ability of my apprentice, maybe there is still a possibility."
He already knew that Shen Minghuan single-handedly killed two Zergs with only a lightsaber.
Not only him, but the other students also heard it.
People always admire the strong, but they were not satisfied with the military training that ended early just now. Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, they are in the mood to pay attention to this junior with excellent skills.
They are also children carefully cultivated by wealthy families, who have received higher education from the alliance and are noble enough to be willing to sacrifice their lives for the country. They will not target a person without any basis, and will not easily become jealous of others' excellence.
Rather than excluding the strong, they hope that they can improve themselves.
Soon a group of people surrounded Shen Minghuan.
"Junior brother, I heard that you use ancient martial arts. Is this your family's unique skill? How long have you learned it?" The people present asked with curiosity and expectation.
Shen Minghuan also smiled slightly, and he shook his head, "I don't have a home."
The surroundings were silent for a moment, and the student who asked the question seemed to hear a "click" in his heart.
He deliberately laughed dryly twice, trying to change the subject, "You two brothers have a good relationship. You have been sticking together since you boarded the starship."
"We are not brothers, but we are both from Lanxing and have known each other since we were very young." Shang Chi also said.
As soon as the voice fell, the already weird atmosphere around him became three degrees colder. The student who asked the question opened his mouth and closed it dejectedly.
Mo Sinian and Yan Ji felt uncomfortable, and Lu Zhiyi felt particularly guilty.
He originally thought that Shen Minghuan was like them, a young master who was raised in a wealthy family, which made him look so noble. Passing by Lanxing, he came to the front line by chance. The dangerous place where others could not predict their lives was just a scene in the world for this man.
How powerful Shen Minghuan was.
With a mysterious origin and unlimited potential, he could come and go freely even on the battlefield and easily save the three of them.
This man was so powerful that the hurtful words he deliberately said would not have any impact on them.
In that case, although he felt sorry, he would not feel too uncomfortable.
But he did not expect that Shen Minghuan was really short of money. The university tuition, which was not worth mentioning in his eyes, might be a sky-high price that this man had to save for a long time.
Then what he said before was a bit too serious, almost humiliating.
But...
Lu Zhiyi lowered his head, glanced at Mo Sinian with his peripheral vision, and sighed softly.
He didn't lie. Sometimes he did have a particularly strong sixth sense, and past experiences told him that these feelings usually became facts.
He had struggled, but the more he came into contact with Shen Minghuan, the more clearly he could sense that Shen Minghuan would bring misfortune to Mo Sinian.
The principal coughed lightly, "Okay, okay, all disperse, don't always surround your junior. Oh, Minghuan, and Shang Chi, although I accepted you as students, if you want to enter the First Army, you still have to take the entrance exam."
"The starship needs to travel for a week, prepare well, understand?" The principal "threatened" fiercely.
"Me? I don't..." Shang Chi waved his hand quickly.
He was a little restrained. Shen Minghuan only told him that he was accepted as a student by a military academy teacher in the Imperial Star, but didn't say that the person was the principal of the First Army!
Shen Minghuan patted him, "What's wrong, Shang Chi, don't you want to be a teacher's student?"
There was a smile in his tone that wanted to add fuel to the fire.
Shang Chi panicked even more, "No, no, I am willing, but you, this, I..."
"If you are willing to recognize me as your teacher, I am willing to accept you, then we will be teacher and student." Xie Xu made the final decision.
Shang Chi was so anxious that his face turned red. He hesitated for a long time and said "yes", and then looked at Shen Minghuan.
He knew very well that Xie Xu decided to accept him for Shen Minghuan's sake. It was not even a matter of loving the whole family, but he just couldn't bear to see him become a burden to this person, and couldn't bear to see this person worry about him.
Xie Xu nodded with satisfaction, stroked his beard and walked away, "Prepare carefully, but I will punish you if you don't pass."
As soon as he left, other students became active, "You two juniors, the entrance exam is very simple. If you don't understand something, you can ask us."
"And Lu Zhiyi. Lu Zhiyi gets perfect marks in every theory test. Look, it's the one in blue over there."
The three of them in Mosnian smiled awkwardly.
I originally thought that after that experience, Shen Minghuan and the others would not choose the First Army anyway, not to mention that it was already past the admission time and they would have to wait for half a year even if they wanted to take the exam.
Time will fade their impressions in each other's minds, and by then they will be able to nod calmly and pass each other by.
However, Shen Minghuan was accepted as a student by Xie Xu. If nothing else happened, he would be in the same class with them in the future. The most terrifying thing is that they might even practice sparring during practical training.
Just thinking about it makes me feel... so embarrassed.
Shen Minghuan seemed to be born to win the favor of anyone. He was knowledgeable, could pick up any martial arts moves, and could speak clearly about military strategies.
And he didn't hide anything, he answered all questions, and he was never self-conscious. The students only felt that they had benefited a lot.
Although the Alliance is extremely technologically prosperous, it has never stopped protecting history. Although it has encountered several large-scale natural disasters, fortunately, the preserved culture has never been interrupted.
The students were at an age where they were particularly concerned about face. Although they didn't say any sticky words, they admired and thanked Shen Minghuan in their hearts.
In ancient terms, Shen Minghuan was half a teacher to them.
In addition, Shen Minghuan looks small and has a rough and lonely life experience, and it is difficult not to feel pity for him.
Shen Minghuan soon became treated like a group favorite.
He is also very calm and will tolerate the kindness of others to him, and will even boss people around to run errands for him. But coupled with his extraordinarily sincere gaze and expression, not only is it not annoying, but it also reveals a sense of intimate intimacy for no reason.
Everyone gathered around Shen Minghuan happily, except for Mosnian and the other two.
If someone who didn't know about it saw it, they might think that Shen Minghuan had isolated them.
*
The time on the starship passed quickly, everyone was very fulfilled, and Shang Chi was also absorbing knowledge quickly.
He is not stupid in the first place. He can live alone on a garbage planet, so he is naturally somewhat clever. The former "Shen Minghuan" was also a master of test papers, and Shang Chi was not slow in learning under his encouragement. He had already learned seven or eight of the basic courses of the alliance.
Lu Zhiyi was alone in the viewing area, looking silently at the vast nebula outside through the transparent "window".
Shen Minghuan knocked on the open door politely, "Can I come in?"
Lu Zhiyi came back to his senses. He stood up and replied unfamiliarly from a distance: "Public area, you can do as you like."
Shen Minghuan then smiled slightly, as if he knew the other person's rejection. He was considerate enough not to get closer, but walked to the other corner of the room and looked out the window as well.
"Um," Lu Zhiyi felt a little uncomfortable, "Are you alone?"
On the starship these days, Shen Minghuan is always surrounded by people. Wherever he goes, he is surrounded by a group of people.
"What about you? Why are you alone?" Shen Minghuan tilted his head slightly and asked naturally.
Lu Zhiyi said nothing and was even considering whether to leave first.
"Do you hate me very much?" Shen Minghuan suddenly said.
Lu Zhiyi paused, looking confused. How to explain this? To say that he didn't, he just expected that some not very good things would happen in the future, so he could only cut off this bond in advance?
"Sorry, I didn't know that the teacher was the principal of the First Army before." Shen Minghuan said sincerely.
It seemed that if he had known Xie Xu's identity in advance, he would not have agreed to become his disciple.
"I know you don't want to see me. I will try my best not to appear in front of you in the future. If possible, will we be strangers?" Shen Minghuan suggested.
Lu Zhiyi felt inexplicably sour in his heart.
He naturally knew what Shen Minghuan meant.
——I'm sorry, I didn't know you hated me so much. If I could, I would disappear from you forever. If I had known earlier, I would not even recognize Xie Xu as my master, let alone join the First Army.
Lu Zhiyi thought to himself, what kind of person is Shen Minghuan? He seems to be so kind that there is no bottom line.
It was so stupid for him to give up an opportunity that no one else could ask for for a few people who didn't like him.
Lu Zhiyi hurriedly lowered his head to hide the excitement in his heart, "I'm sorry, Shen Minghuan... you're fine, it's my problem."
Shen Minghuan seemed to smile, "I heard that your mental talent test was A-level when you were fourteen years old? You are eighteen years old this year. I mean, maybe you can take the test again?"
"I think there will be surprises."
He smiled heartily, "Lu Zhiyi, I wish you a surprise."
Lu Zhiyi's eyes turned red when he heard the sincerity in it.
He actually doesn't deserve it, he doesn't deserve this person to be so nice to him.
