"Well... it's getting late. We need to find some dry firewood before dark to keep warm at night. You should go in groups of four to find some flammable materials nearby, but remember not to go too far."
After receiving the instructions, everyone scattered. Ouyang Qian looked reluctant, glanced at Lin Qianmo out of the corner of her eye, and was helplessly pulled away by Hu Yingying and the others.
Lin Qianmo looked at Cang Yue, who was standing motionless beside her and staring at her, and asked in confusion, "Why are you looking at me like that? Why aren't you going with them?"
Cang Yue glared at Lin Qianmo. "You said four people per group? Aren't you making things difficult for me?! Don't you know who I'm grouped with now?"
"Uh..." Lin Qianmo was speechless for a moment. Indeed, in a group of four, there would always be one person left, and Cang Yue did not hesitate to be that person! Did this girl mean that she was in a group with him?
However, this was just right. Seeing that no one was around, Cang Yue took out her hidden phone and started playing with it, browsing Weibo and scrolling through Weibo, occasionally covering her mouth and chuckling when she saw an interesting joke.
Seeing Cang Yue's carefree appearance, Lin Qianmo shook her head helplessly and asked with some curiosity:
"Benefactor, since you are so attached to the mortal world, why would you consider taking the police academy entrance exam?"
Cang Yue was taken aback, then looked at Lin Qianmo and couldn't help but smile. "Master, according to you, does that mean everyone who is attached to the mortal world should be outside this police academy?"
Lin Qianmo choked, unsure what to say for a moment. Seeing Lin Qianmo stumped, Cang Yue relaxed her brows, her gaze tinged with a faint sadness as she spoke, "I just want to integrate into this circle, to be able to stand a little higher!"
Hearing Cang Yue's answer, Lin Qianmo was speechless.
Is such an ambition lofty?
She might believe it if it were about protecting the interests of the people!
What stands at the highest point?
Is it useful?
The higher you climb, the colder it gets.
Higher places are often colder and lonelier!
She's experienced it!
As for Cang Yue, she definitely couldn't be an excellent policewoman. In fact, Lin Qianmo was certain that apart from her physical advantages, she was simply the most naive and unconventional girl among this group.
Once again drawn to the content on her phone, Cang Yue was completely oblivious to Lin Qianmo's disappointed expression.
Perhaps she'll be kicked out soon! At that point, she'll truly realize she's not suited for this industry.
As the curtain fell, the group returned with furrowed brows. Lin Qianmo assumed something unpleasant had happened, but to her surprise, they were carrying one or two pieces of dry firewood, their faces showing disgust at the sight of them.
It's fair to say that their delicate, raised fingers were a deliberate attempt to avoid soiling their third finger!
Lin Qianmo frowned immediately and shouted, "Are you kidding me? Did you bring back this dry firewood hoping to freeze to death in the middle of the night?! And look what you've brought! Just a thin, short twig? Do you think the night isn't long enough, so you're planning to use this twig to pick your nails?!"
Lin Qianmo showed no intention of stopping there, instead pointing fiercely at everyone around her and saying:
"If I were to send you to the battlefield to participate in forest survival training, you wouldn't even last three hours, let alone a day!"
Hearing Lin Qianmo's reprimand, everyone felt resentful, but dared not say anything.
However, Gao Shan turned her gaze to Cang Yue behind Lin Qianmo. Cang Yue's hands and feet were clean, and her face was spotless, making her look like an immaculate fairy.
How could there be no problems if no one in such an environment is "polluted"?
Immediately, Gao Shan stepped forward, bravely raising her eyes to meet Lin Qianmo's gaze, and spoke with displeasure in her tone:
"Instructor Lin, even if we made mistakes, we all tried our best, we did give it our all. Why don't some people have to try, or even attempt to make the same mistake?! Instructor Lin, are you deliberately showing favoritism towards someone?"
Upon hearing Gao Shan's words, everyone immediately realized who that person was. Their gazes turned to Cang Yue, who was watching the scene from the corner, and they all protested loudly, their anger barely contained.
"Instructor Lin, you're deliberately favoring Cang Yue!"
"This is not fair!"
"Yes! It's unfair! We protest!"
Cang Yue froze on the spot upon hearing Gao Shan and the others' questions and protests.
She's just a random passerby, and she's hiding so far away, so why are you all taking your anger out on me?!
I did nothing, why should I take the blame?
It's clearly Lin Qianmo's fault!
Cang Yue looked at Lin Qianmo with resentment and anger in her eyes.
Lin Qianmo, however, did not panic as expected. Instead, she looked at Gao Shan and the others with a serious and indifferent expression of disappointment.
Lin Qianmo scanned the faces of the crowd. Their clothes were covered in mud and dust, and their faces were also covered with a layer of dust. In Lin Qianmo's eyes, what could have been glorious dust turned into incredibly dirty ugliness on their faces!
He couldn't help but sneer and said:
"You say I'm biased? You say I'm unfair? You still want to protest, huh? Very well!"
"Then use the dry firewood you have to start a raging fire for me! Isn't it said that many hands make light work? Let me see how you're going to get a roaring blaze going!"
"Talk to me about fairness, haha! It's your good fortune that you were able to walk down the mountain healthy!"
"You still say I'm biased towards Cang Yue? She's your class monitor now. If you're so capable, try taking her position next time and run to the front to show me! Talking about fairness in front of me, I spit on you—who do you think you are?"
