Chapter 14: Empire Contempt Chain
Zhou Yingbo and Pang Bin had almost packed their things.
Xie Chen turned around and said to his roommates, "As roommates, we have three rules. No undressing in the dormitory, no leaving the door open when using the restroom, and no releasing pheromones."
Pang Bin, with his pig-faced nose, was about to go to heaven. "Sharing a dormitory with a guide is really troublesome. And there's also an ordinary person, and an ordinary person is so arrogant in front of the sentry and the guide. How can I be so unlucky to be assigned to such a weird dormitory?"
Xie Chen and Qiao Ye just thought Pang Bin was just farting and ignored him.
However, when Zhou Yingbo heard the word "guide", he looked at Xie Chen in surprise, and finally nodded: "Okay."
Zhou Yingbo's thinking was much more direct than Pang Bin's. The latest statistics for the entire interstellar system show a one-to-ten ratio of sentinels. Yet, sentinels rely on guides. Without a guide to channel their spiritual energy, sentinels can easily go berserk. When berserk reaches 100%, they die.
Being able to share a dorm with a guide is such a wonderful thing. As long as you get along well with the guide, you won't have to worry about your mental power going berserk anymore.
Not long after, Qiao Bang and Lu Chi arrived at the door of dormitory 404, and Xie Chen and Qiao Ye left the dormitory to look for food with everyone.
Lu Chi hooked Qiao Ye's shoulder and said, "Why didn't you tell us yesterday that you were attending classes at the Imperial Military Academy?"
Qiao Ye replied: "You didn't ask."
Qiao Bang smiled and said, "Okay, okay, Lu Chi, I know you're happy. Let's discuss the most important topic first. The Imperial Military Academy has several cafeterias and food courts. Which one should we go to today?"
Lu Chi said, "Let's go to West Street."
Lu Chi said, "Ye Qiao, starting tomorrow, all grades in the school will have simultaneous military training. I need to buy you something."
Qiao Ye asked, "Simultaneous military training for the entire school?"
Qiao Bang said: "Because we are a military school, military training is a daily routine. Every day is half a day of military training and half a day of study."
Xie Chen smiled and looked at Qiao Ye and said, "Don't be afraid. The school won't be too strict with ordinary people, and we can protect you."
On the way to West Street for dinner, Lu Chi kept looking around, but he didn't find the person he was looking for, and looked a little depressed.
Qiao Ye was very curious: "What is he looking for?"
Qiao Bang whispered, "I'm telling you, don't tell anyone. Lu Chi thinks that his fiancée, who broke off the engagement, might also be attending the military academy. But we haven't found her yet."
Qiao Ye couldn't help but let out a gossipy "Oh~".
As they were talking, a slim and delicate-looking girl walked up to the four teenagers.
"Lu Chi, and you guys, hello."
Qiao Bang bumped into Lu Chi and said, "Dude, do you know him?"
Lu Chi shook his head.
The girl put away her friendly look towards Lu Chi and the others, and suddenly turned her eyes to look at Qiao Ye with disdain, and asked, "You are an ordinary person, right?"
Receiving the contemptuous look, Qiao Ye looked puzzled: "Yes, I am an ordinary person."
The nobles in the imperial capital of Kyoto actually have a chain of contempt.
A great warlord despises a lesser warlord. A high-ranking sentinel despises a low-ranking sentinel. A high-ranking guide despises a low-ranking guide.
Tao Cancan happened to know Pang Bin. She learned from Pang Bin that there was one more person in Lu Chi's small group. This person not only had no background, but also had no differentiation. He was just an ordinary person.
It is the lowest end of the low end in the contempt chain!
Tao Cancan asked Qiao Ye: "Ye Qiao, these three people all have extraordinary identities, and you are an ordinary person with no status. Do you really think you are worthy of playing with them?"
Lu Chi: “……?”
Qiao Ye whispered: "Who is this?"
Qiao Bang whispered, "I don't know him either. Lu Chi doesn't know him either."
Xie Chen whispered: "I don't know him either."
Lu Chi said politely: "Hello, classmate, you are disturbing our brothers' meal."
Tao Cancan looked aggrieved and angry. She said, "Lu Chi, you are the grandson of the Lu family, the descendant of a noble warlord in Kyoto. You shouldn't degenerate yourself and hang out with such a lowly pariah!"
Qiao Ye: “……?”
Lu Chi put down his cutlery. His eyes were as cold as broken ice.
The atmosphere on the scene became weird.
Tao Cancan said: "Your Lu family is a top family in the imperial capital, and you are an SS-level sentinel. You shouldn't choose ordinary people as friends. I am a guide, and I am also the daughter of the Tao family. We can go for a compatibility test. You and I must be a good match! We can interact..."
Lu Chi said: "Are you nosy? Do I know you?"
Tao Cancan was very surprised by Lu Chi's words, and then she collapsed and said, "You, how could you not recognize me? I am Tao Cancan!"
Xie Chen said kindly, "Classmate, please, Lu Chi is going to get angry. This guy is quite scary when he's angry. I advise you not to provoke him."
Xie Chen's reminder was indeed well-intentioned, but Tao Cancan obviously didn't think so. She felt insulted.
"I'm the daughter of the Tao family. I've written you love letters, and my family has even approached you about marriage... How could you not recognize me?" Tao Cancan looked at Qiao Ye with disdain. "I'm not like this ordinary person. Classmate Ye Qiao, if I were you, I would clearly understand my identity and leave them on my own. Ah!"
Lu Chi's spirit leaked out, avoiding Xie Chen and the other two, and rushed straight towards Tao Cancan! Tao Cancan screamed in pain.
Tao Cancan, an A-level guide, felt like she was being crushed by a ten-thousand-pound hammer! She clutched her head and said, "What are you doing?! It hurts, it hurts so much!"
Qiao Bang was also a little angry. He stopped trying to stop the fight and just sighed, "Lu Chi's control over his spiritual sea has become stronger again."
In the past, when Lu Chi’s spirit leaked out, it was an indiscriminate attack, but now he can avoid the three of them and attack in a targeted manner.
"Classmate, put away your spiritual sea."
A second-year student wearing the chief badge stood in front of Tao Cancan.
Lu Chi glanced at the senior student and turned back to eat. "She doesn't interrupt us, so I won't make things difficult for her."
The head of the second grade frowned and looked at Tao Cancan, waved his hand, and several second graders came over and took Tao Cancan away.
"Are you Lu Chi?" asked the senior student.
Lu Chi looked up: "I am Lu Chi."
Senior student: "I'm Tao Di, Tao Cancan's brother, and the second-grade principal."
Lu Chi stood up again.
Qiao Bang, Qiao Ye, Xie Chen and the other two stood up.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense and on the verge of a fight.
"My sister is kindly reminding you that you shouldn't bully her."
Lu Chi said with a cold face: "Do I need her 'kindness'? Also, how should I deal with her insulting my friend?!"
Tao Di glanced up and down at the people in front of her: "How can it be considered an insult to despise ordinary people? But you, for an ordinary person, actually used your spiritual sea to attack my sister!
Lu Chi, the Imperial Military Academy has a tradition where freshmen compete with sophomores in a military reserve match. I'll do my best to ensure you don't lose too badly. If you lose, just kneel down and apologize to my sister.
Qiao Bang impulsively wanted to rush up and beat someone up, but was stopped by Xie Chen.
Qiao Ye, who was at the center of the conflict, didn't care. She swallowed the beef in her mouth and said, "Senior, you may be mistaken. We won't lose. We are much better than you."
Tao Di's eyes showed disdain, as if talking to Qiao Ye lowered his status.
"Lu Chi. Do you dare to fight?"
Lu Chi pulled Qiao Ye over, grabbed her wrist, and accepted the challenge: "My brother and I will not lose. But if you lose, you and your sister will apologize to my brother!"
