Chapter 14 The so-called tacit understanding
Good news: Lin Guantang is in District 35, which is in the same dimension as other areas.
The bad news: their District 35 is already an antique that is an era behind the Empire, and is separated from other regions by a pathetic thick barrier.
Previously, when [Heart of the Mist] talked about law and politics, Lin Guantang had little exposure to it since he was a child, so he didn't have such real feelings. Even if the courses he found were said to be outdated, he just felt a little embarrassed.
But now it was said that the bow and arrow, which he particularly liked, had been eliminated, so Lin Guantang was truly in disbelief and heartbroken from the bottom of his heart.
However, Lin Guantang is not a very pessimistic person. After a moment of sadness, he took a deep breath and decided to be the spokesperson for District 35!
Even if it is something that has been eliminated by the imperial capital, he must pass it on.
[Haitang]: Bows and arrows and the like have really been completely eliminated. Doesn't anyone care about them anymore?
[Haitang]: I quite like it... If there are any related courses, I would actually like to learn more about it [frowning]
The vibrating prompt sound indicates that another message has popped up in the group.
Shao Qingbai lowered his head and looked at the message sent by classmate Haitang in the group chat.
This perfect confusion, this tentative feeling that seems like regret and expectation, this emotion that urgently needs to wait for others' response -
Good sister! It turns out that the bond of blood ties is incomparable to any other relationship.
This is the bond between siblings, blood is thicker than water!
Shao Qingbai immediately focused on cooperating in the group.
[A Cypress Tree]: Of course not. Instructor Huo is very good at archery, that’s @zhen, so there’s no need to be affected by some people’s ignorant remarks.
[A Cypress Tree]: If you like it, just choose this course. I believe you must be very talented in archery and will be able to shine.
[A Cypress Tree]: Maybe, I can even compete with Instructor Huo on the same stage, and I can have more private exchanges with him [looking forward to it]
Having said that, Shao Qingbai had never seen his elder sister perform the so-called archery in front of him, but judging from his elder sister's relaxed attitude towards the archery, it must be very easy for her to master it.
When the time comes, I will take advantage of the situation and find an opportunity to bring my sister and the great devil Huo together, so that they can develop feelings based on their common interests. With time, maybe they can become a happy couple.
Although my sister's aesthetic taste is a world away from that of the Great Demon Lord Huo, and the probability of the two of them getting along is less than 10%, the Great Demon Lord Huo is still much better than that poor boy Zhao Yingfeng.
Zhao Yingfeng used to be Shao Qingbai's younger brother. However, after meeting Shao Qingbai's sister a few times, he was so bold as to have an affair with the eldest princess. His crime was unforgivable. His parents were furious about this, thinking that he was just another "phoenix man" with ulterior motives who wanted to take shortcuts to get rich.
In fact, Shao Qingbai had a pretty good impression of him. He was willing to endure hardships, was loyal, and didn't get angry when someone made fun of him - but this was based on the standards of a younger brother, not a brother-in-law.
If we use the standards of a brother-in-law, this man is simply a scumbag.
When Shao's father asked Zhao Yingfeng to make a decision between "being with Shao Qingzhu, but not allowed to hold any formal external position" and "being promoted to police superintendent, but not allowed to have any involvement with Shao Qingzhu", he chose the latter without hesitation.
Then, Shao Qingbai's father, who was the boss of the Imperial Capital Police Station, directly sent him to the Yunyi District in the name of police superintendent, where "illegible crossing every three days and smuggling every five days" was common, to do dangerous hard labor where one could lose his life at any time.
It seems that there are no accidents and it is impossible for him to return to the capital in this lifetime.
Moreover, before he left the imperial capital, he ignored his sister and read but did not reply to Shao Qingbai's message. Even if Shao Qingbai wanted to understand him, he could not find any excuse to excuse him.
As the saying goes, the old must go before the new can come. Since Zhao Yingfeng is no longer possible, we must of course look forward to a better future.
Although the Great Demon King Huo was a bit cold, with a sarcastic expression and a sarcastic tone...
No matter how good her face is, it can't make up for such a bad temper. If her daily life is edited into a VCR and put into a marriage show, everyone will definitely turn down the lights!
Shao Qingbai felt embarrassed for a moment, and suddenly realized that his matchmaking skills still needed some experience. The most important thing at the moment was to withdraw this statement that seemed to be trying to match people up.
Otherwise, when the two of them actually meet in the future and find that they are completely incompatible with each other, then it will be his innocent brother who will be the one to be angered by both sides.
However, the time limit for revoking the message had passed, and it was useless for him to regret. When he looked up and saw the strange expressions of the other people in the meeting room, he realized belatedly what a terrible message he had sent out.
Wen Tiange gave him a thumbs up with admiration - he actually dared to encourage the freshmen to provoke the big devil privately. He didn't expect that such a sunny and cheerful boy would have such a scheming mind. He had to admit defeat.
Shao Qingbai glared at him, his instinct telling him that this guy was thinking something terrible and rude.
Jian Yinglai also looked at him with a speechless look, and after enduring it again and again, he couldn't help but ask:
"Are you sure that this student Haitang has the ability to compete with Instructor Huo? How did you know that he has such talent?"
Shao Qingbai laughed awkwardly: "Uh... because interest is the best teacher? Haha - since he is interested, maybe it can stimulate his talent."
Jian Yinglai: "Then the world would be overcrowded with geniuses."
Shao Qingbai: ...
How could there be such a boring person in the world!
Tian Ye said sincerely: "It's always good to have dreams. I think what Qingbai said is quite good."
Half-relatives.
Shao Qingbai greeted him with a sincere look.
Sikong Tan, who was watching the show with his chin in his hand, seemed to be interested in his words. He turned to look at the protagonist being mentioned, and there was no sincerity in his tone, only encouragement to laugh at the joke:
"Instructor Huo, what do you think? Speaking of which, as a senior student who might compete with you in the future, would you like to offer some advice to Haitang?"
Huo Shizhen simply ignored his words, looked up at freshman S4, and said bluntly:
"Now that everyone has finished speaking, you may leave."
ah?
Hey hey——?
Everyone in the conference room was confused for a moment, and then they realized that the reason they were chatting in the group was because Huo Shizhen said that they only needed to give suggestions based on their own understanding, and then they could leave and end tonight's criticism meeting.
As a result, I completely forgot why I did it in the heat of the moment!
At this moment, they were suddenly reminded of the original intention of the chat, and the feeling of being shrouded in the shadow of the big devil before the chat came to their minds again. Seeing that the big devil took the initiative to let them leave, the four of them quickly slipped away.
There were only three people left in the conference room. After they left, Sikong Tan spoke again:
"Well, through our conversation just now, have you figured out who smuggled Xiao Haitang in?"
They were supposed to demonstrate what they had learned through Haitang's problem, but in reality... they were using this as an excuse to observe their speeches in order to see who was secretly colluding with Haitang.
The sudden and silent test is really the devil's usual style that makes people hard to guard against.
However, such concealed words and actions could not be hidden from the eyes of an intelligence genius like Sikong Tan.
Huo Shizhen was not surprised at all by the truth being revealed. Hearing this, he still said with his usual bored expression, which seemed to carry a mocking tone:
"It seems the police inspector's son won't suddenly change his temperament to become gifted at acting. In some ways, his acting skills and courage are directly proportional."
It's self-evident who he's talking about, but—
Sikong Tan said helplessly:
"Are you praising him or being sarcastic? So, you're pretty much aware of Xiao Haitang's identity, right?"
Huo Shizhen said in a tone that was even more lazy to explain:
"She's just a little sparrow pretending to be young in O Hospital."
Ammunition-related subjects are required courses at the Central Military Academy. The new ABO legal agreement is not included in the military academy's curriculum. Bow and arrow courses are only officially offered as elective courses at the Central Military Academy and Quan O Academy. After selecting a few options, the answer is already very obvious.
Sikong Tan was puzzled:
"A little sparrow is a little sparrow. Why use the adjective 'pretending to be young'? Don't you think that's inconsistent?"
"This is the problem you, as a professional intelligence officer, need to deal with."
Huo Shizhen's casual mention of this added another troublesome matter for him to deal with:
"You've been bored and have nothing to do since school started, so why not investigate his true identity thoroughly? There are too many inconsistencies between his words and Shao Qingbai's attitude. He might be a spy lurking in O Academy, using some method to deliberately get close to Shao Qingbai, and then sneak into the Central Military Academy."
Hearing his guess, Sikong Tan's expression became serious for once:
"So, since you've guessed that he might not be from the Central Military Academy, are you going to kick him out now?"
As a fellow student of the Central Military Academy, Sikong Tan didn't mind putting Haitang in the group to relieve boredom, but if it was true as Huo Shizhen said, that he was really from another school, or even a spy with some unknown purpose, then it would be necessary to consider the other party's existence more.
Do you want to kick him out?
Huo Shizhen lowered his eyes and glanced at the terminal—to be more precise, he glanced at the new notification that popped up on the terminal.
——[Haitang] sent you a friend request through [New Student Group Chat 1]——
He raised his lips and smiled, his reddish-brown eyes showing an unprecedented glint of interest. He extended his hand to approve the other party's friend request and said slowly:
"Leave it for now. This little bird that's actively running into the wheat field looking for a good meal, I'm curious how much of the resources it can eat."
After saying this, he also stood up from his seat and left.
Only Sikong Tan was left sitting in his original position. He clicked on Haitang's profile picture and space to take a look - the profile picture was just an ordinary crabapple flower, and the space was empty. If she was not as uninterested in sharing her private life as Huo Shizhen, then maybe she really was... a spy who didn't want to reveal too much information about herself.
Sikong Tan was not actually worried about how much useful information Haitang would steal through group chat if she was really a spy, but he was genuinely worried about his situation after being noticed by Huo Shizhen.
After all, countless historical experiences have proven that people that Huo Shizhen is interested in often end up in a miserable state.
Although the people he is interested in are nothing more than various suspicious elements, after seeing the ways he plays tricks on people, one cannot help but feel pity for the unlucky suspicious elements.
