Several hours later, the military personnel arrived.
They were well-trained and quickly brought the local government under control.
The intelligence Su Cheng mentioned was just the tip of the iceberg. More information about the Source Crystals would come from the Lia Star government.
Starting today, a major reshuffle of the Lia Star government personnel would take place.
What happened afterward would be largely irrelevant to the students of Imperial First.
They had spent a long time in the dilapidated city of K. So when they boarded the airship and landed back on planet D-312, they all felt a sense of nostalgia, like a long-awaited reunion.
“I was sick of the hard bread in K City! I’m going to eat the whole cafeteria today!”
“I want to go back to sleep…”
“Damn, after so many days on the mountain, I feel like I have lice.”
As soon as they disembarked, the freshmen scattered. After all, they had spent so much time in Hua City, and this time, they didn’t need their seniors to guide them.
As for the results of the disciplinary team assessment, although they cared, the assessment process had been disrupted, and they probably wouldn’t be able to get out for a while, so rest was the priority.
However, what they didn’t expect was that the live stream that day was secretly recorded and circulated among the students of the Imperial First Military Academy.
Some began to question the inherent danger of the disciplinary squad selection process. Although no one was injured in the end, and it was still a great achievement, it was clear that casualties could have occurred if someone hadn’t intervened later.
Even the usually harmonious comment section under the disciplinary squad’s official account was now filled with discordant voices.
[What happened with that live stream? Can anyone explain?]
[It wasn’t staged, was it?]
[Okay, I finally understand how dangerous the disciplinary squad’s mission is. Luckily, I didn’t pass the preliminary selection】
Although these were only the voices of a small minority, they stood out starkly amidst the praise and admiration in the comments.
“It seems you’ve really angered everyone this time.”
In the principal’s office of the Imperial First Military Academy, General Lu sat at his desk, brewing himself a pot of tea.
The teacups were only the size of his palm. He poured two bowls of tea, pushing one across from him.
A young student stood there, hands behind his back, back straight.
“It’s pointless,” Fu Cheng replied. “Even if they broadcast the live footage, it’ll only scare away those cowards. The disciplinary squad never needs people like that.”
“That’s not what I meant,” General Lu leaned back in his chair, smiling at Fu Cheng. “Reputation.”
“Besides off-campus missions, the disciplinary squad’s main role is maintaining internal order. Without sufficient authority, their effectiveness will be greatly diminished.”
“My policy is flawless,” Fu Cheng said.
“You don’t need to worry about that.”
“Alright, since you’re confident, I won’t say anything more.”
General Lu gestured. “Please.”
“Thank you.” Fu Cheng picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp.
Seeing this, General Lu shook his head: “So you young people don’t understand the pleasure of tea tasting.”
“However, compared to this issue, there is another person who is more eye-catching.”
Apart from some discordant notes, the comments under the official account of the Discipline Inspection Team were mostly about the grand occasion of the live broadcast.
[Waaah, although I missed the live broadcast, I saw the screenshots! Please tell me the name of that incredibly handsome guy!】
[The lighting was so dim and I couldn’t see his face, how do you know if he was handsome or not?】
[Intuition!】
[It’s that S+ level alpha, right? I searched for his name after watching the live broadcast that day, I think it’s called…】
“Bai Yue,” General Lu said, “The assessment results should be announced soon, right? This is a talent I personally invited, what do you think?”
Fu Cheng turned to look out the window.
Just then, a gust of wind blew by, and the curtains billowed.
A withered yellow leaf drifted down and landed on the windowsill.
Bai Yue was sitting in his dormitory.
Du Qin had given him his phone that day, but he had missed the opportunity to tell him the password.
After that, the other party was quarantined and taken directly to the police station upon arrival at planet D-312, leaving him no opportunity for further contact.
So the problem now was that the phone won’t turn on.
Among the people he knew, it seems no one was particularly skilled with electronics. Going to a store to explain the source would be troublesome.
Moreover, this concerned the Federation, so it must be handled with caution.
Recalling what happened that day, Bai Yue frowned.
Why did the disciplinary team conceal this? Later, when the military arrived on Lia Star, there were many opportunities to report it, yet the deputy captain avoided the topic.
Did they have other intentions?
In the past, Bai Yue might have handed over the evidence directly.
But after the last assessment, he… perhaps no longer trusted the disciplinary team so much.
The door opened behind him. Bai Yue put his phone in the drawer, turned around, and saw Mu Sihan walk in.
“You’re back.”
Bai Yue stood up. Two days had passed since returning from Lia Star. Although they had gone through several dangerous missions together, for some reason, the distance between Mu Sihan and him had widened.
Whether intentional or unintentional, he felt like he was being avoided these days.
Bai Yue: “Do you have time to train today?”
“No, I have plans,” Mu Sihan said coldly.
Bai Yue smiled: “Okay, let me know when you’re free.”
Mu Sihan: “…”
The other looked at him, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.
Bai Yue asked in confusion: “What’s wrong?”
Mu Sihan looked away, and after a moment said: “Let’s stop here, the training.”
Bai Yue was taken aback.
Mu Sihan said: “Your combat experience is already quite rich, you don’t need me to spar with you anymore. It’s better to practice with different people than the same enemy.”
This made sense, but it sounded more like an excuse.
However, Mu Sihan had been with him for so long, he must have his own plans.
Bai Yue: “I understand, thank you for this time.”
Mu Sihan glanced at him, his brows furrowed: “It’s just an exchange.”
An exchange?
Bai Yue remained silent. Although it was initially suggested this way, in the end, he didn’t give Mu Sihan anything.
The other didn’t ask for his military merits; even the matter of releasing pheromones was something he had reminded him of.
He had clearly helped him, but he had built a wall with his words, not allowing anyone to get close.
In his eyes, Mu Sihan was truly a clumsy person.
Bai Yue thought for a moment, “Since it’s an exchange, it’s my turn next, right?”
“But because you’re the type who keeps everything to yourself,” he smiled, “I’ll handle it myself.”
“!”
Mu Sihan was speechless for a moment.
Normally, even if someone wanted to get close, they would be wounded by his actions and never dare to approach again.
But Bai Yue seemed unable to understand human speech.
“…”
This was the first time he had met someone like this.
A strange emotion surfaced in Mu Sihan’s heart. He turned his head away, “Whatever.”
A day later, the disciplinary team announced the assessment results.
About eighty people participated in the final selection assessment, and the number of people who passed was— fifteen.
The order was not ranked, but alphabetical.
And the name “Bai Yue” was listed first.
Looking at the list of those who passed the assessment, Wu Zihao gasped, “Sure enough, a record low! Without the reconnaissance bugs and with the failed military mission, very few people passed this time.”
He glanced at his boss beside him, “This can be considered a small success, right? And because of the livestream incident, many students have privately expressed their dissatisfaction with the disciplinary team.”
They used to be like cult followers, blindly following the disciplinary team’s leader— it was terrifying.
However, his boss, with his hand on the railing, didn’t reply.
Wu Zihao shut his mouth.
He had initially been happy that his boss had taken the initiative, thinking he had finally recovered.
But unexpectedly, as soon as the mission ended, the boss fell into depression again. He was always frowning, seemingly lost in thought.
Wu Zihao felt he was a terrible underling, unable to get his boss to open up to him.
The wind on the rooftop was a bit strong, making Wu Zihao’s head spin. Suddenly, a brilliant idea popped into his head.
He stood up abruptly and shouted, “Boss! Look at me!”
Shang Yufei finally snapped out of his daze and looked over.
“Tell me what’s bothering you! I’ll do whatever it takes to help you!”
Shang Yufei raised an eyebrow.
Wu Zihao opened his arms, his expression resolute.
If his boss wanted a warm embrace, he would do anything to hold him tight!
Five seconds later.
He was grabbed by the collar and thrown out of the rooftop door.
“So noisy.” Shang Yufei’s face was dark. “If you say another word, you might as well jump off.”
The rooftop was definitely a dangerous place.
Wu Zihao immediately sat up straight: “Please forgive me.”
At this moment, a gentle male voice came from behind him.
“So you’re here.”
Hearing this, Wu Zihao turned around. When he saw the person’s face clearly, alarm bells went off in his mind.
Here we go again!
The only omega… no, alpha who can control his boss!
Although he didn’t know what this person’s name was. But based on the previous situation, this person… seems to be that outstanding special admission student. Moreover, he was selected for the disciplinary team.
Now that he’s come knocking, could it be that he’s noticed something?
He immediately turned around, wanting to warn his boss to be careful. But he saw the other person’s gloom vanish, replaced by a complicated expression.
Bai Yue: “I couldn’t find you in class. Can we talk?”
Shang Yufei didn’t speak, just retreating back to the rooftop.
Wu Zihao remained stunned.
At this moment, the boy continued walking up. He smiled as he passed him: “Excuse me, I’d like to talk to him alone.”
Bewitched by that smile, Wu Zihao nodded blankly. He didn’t come to his senses until the rooftop door closed.
What on earth was going on?
