Chapter 1028: Five Elements School
The third day of the Lunar New Year, Jiangshi Airport.
"It's already the third day of the Lunar New Year, and there are still so many people. But today's tickets are indeed easier to buy than the previous two days." As soon as she stepped out of the airport, Li Mengxin looked back at the bustling crowds and sighed.
They didn't use the special channel. Jiang City is a fourth-tier city with only one small airport, so it doesn't matter whether they use that channel or not.
"It's the Spring Festival travel rush, should we go straight back or what?" Gu Qinglang asked Gu Yin.
Before Gu Yin could speak, several military vehicles pulled up and stopped in front of them.
The car door opened, and a middle-aged man whom Gu Yin did not recognize got out of the first car.
His crisp military uniform and the insignia on his shoulders indicated that he held a high-ranking position.
"Excuse me, are you Comrade Xiao Zhou? I'm Wei Yue, here to pick you up. Please get in the car!"
Gu Yin had not received this notification before, and nodded upon hearing this: "Please wait a moment, I will verify it."
After making a phone call to her old superior and confirming that such a person existed, Gu Yin hung up the phone.
"Thank you for your trouble, Comrade Wei." He nodded to his family and then got into the car.
The car started, and Wei Yue began his report.
"Our troops will accompany you throughout this mission. We will arrange everything, including travel, accommodation, and security. The troops will follow your instructions."
Gu Yin wasn't surprised, since she would need the military's help at that time.
"Okay, by the way, they were doing drug injections in Guangzhou, right? You guys probably did that too, right?"
Wei Yue nodded: "We went. We were the last batch to go. We just came back a few months ago. Now, all the comrades have basically mastered their respective superpowers. Everyone is very excited. They all knew you were coming back this time and were waiting for your arrangements!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yin chuckled: "Once you've mastered it, don't slack off. This ability can be upgraded."
Wei Yue nodded: "Everyone has been given instructions, and no one dares to slack off."
"That's good. Where are you taking us?" Gu Yin asked curiously, looking in the direction the car was heading.
"Aren't you going to be busy at the school? We've set up a house for you there, surrounded by our own people, so it'll be convenient for you to work."
This was exactly what Gu Yin wanted; she had originally planned to stay there, but she hadn't expected them to help arrange it.
"Then I'll trouble you. We'll stay one night and go back to our hometown tomorrow. After we finish taking care of things there, we'll come back in about two or three days."
The higher-ups didn't mention this, but they did say that everything should be done according to Gu Yin's arrangements.
Wei Yue didn't ask why, and nodded: "Okay, when do you plan to leave tomorrow? We'll make the arrangements. The higher-ups said that we'll accompany you throughout this trip, so there's no need to keep a low profile. Being a little more high-profile will be beneficial for what you're doing next."
So her journey back home certainly achieved its intended publicity effect.
"We'll leave tomorrow morning, around eight o'clock," Gu Yin estimated the time.
Wei Yue set a time.
Half an hour later, the car stopped in a corner of the ancient town of Jiang City.
The original intention of building this ancient town was to accommodate the school that was to be established. This was the first school that Gu Shu and his team built, and the schools built afterward were all branch schools.
The reason people chose this place is not only because it is close to the mountains and has better air quality, but also because it is Gu Yin's hometown. The people here are more united, and compared to other provinces and regions, it is easier to carry out this work here.
"The town center is the headquarters of the 'Five Elements Academy' that you established. Would you like to go and take a look?"
"Will we pass by there? If we will, we can stop and take a look. If not, that's fine. We can look at it again when we come back." It's getting late, and we won't be able to see everything.
“Your residence is on the left side of the main gate. There is no wall in front of the school; it is surrounded by various shops, so your residence is actually part of the school,” Wei Yue explained.
"Let's get out of the car and take a look."
The car quickly arrived at the school gate.
"Wow, this gate is so grand! It's a bit like the Southern Heavenly Gate in TV dramas! These white pillars, are they made of white marble? They look so high-quality!" Gu Qinglang exclaimed as he looked around.
It was indeed very well built.
"We should reward my cousin later. He and Father Chu put this together. I never said we should build it like this, but it does coincide with our ideas. It looks a lot like a cultivation academy. Let's take a look inside."
After entering through the main gate, there is a school road. The road is very spacious on both sides, with a dirt square on one side and a square paved with bluestone bricks on the other. The weapon racks around the perimeter are filled with all kinds of weapons.
"Are these two training grounds?" Gu Yin walked closer, picked up a gun, twirled it a few times, and put it back.
"The quality is good."
Wei Yue nodded upon hearing this: "It's a training ground, and the weapons were made by master craftsmen hired by our official organization, so you can rest assured about the quality."
The group walked inside while talking.
"Hey! Hey! Take this knife!"
A commotion arose from not far away.
Gu Yin asked in confusion, "What are they doing inside?"
Wei Yue immediately explained, "After the school was built, people around were curious and thought it was some kind of park, so they all wanted to come in and visit. So we arranged for soldiers to guard and patrol inside. The area here is big enough, so I let them train here as well. Is there any problem with that?"
This was mentioned by someone below, who also felt it was a win-win situation. After asking Mr. Chu, the other party agreed, but they didn't actually ask Gu Yin.
Gu Yin thought it was something else entirely.
"It's a good arrangement. It's just sitting there empty anyway, so giving it to the soldiers to use is a way to test it out in advance. Are they all superhumans?"
Seeing that she wasn't angry, Wei Yue breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes, they are all superhumans. When students come in later, these superhumans will be arranged to protect them here."
Gu Yin stopped in her tracks upon hearing this: "It's fine as long as you've made the arrangements. Let's go back to our lodgings and take a look. We won't disturb their training. I trust you with the arrangements."
After learning about her abilities, she had nothing to worry about since the military had made the arrangements.
Seeing that she trusted him, Wei Yue was very happy: "Okay, let's go! It's in the building next door!"
The luggage had already been taken upstairs by others, and Gu Yin and the others walked easily to their accommodation.
The four-story residential building has been renovated to have an antique feel, with blue bricks and green tiles.
"It looks a lot like the buildings at our university."
"The designer Mr. Chu invited is a junior colleague of the architect from your school; they are from the same lineage."
Gu Yin exclaimed in surprise, "Such a big expense? This is just an ordinary school, isn't it unnecessary?"
