n

n

n“He Mingxuan! Can’t you say something decent! You’ve gone overboard!”

n

nXu Tui glared at He Mingxuan. He had a furious expression.

n

nHe Mingxuan had gone overboard.

n

nIn the past, he, Cheng Mo, and Tang Ting had come into conflict with He Mingxuan and his group on several occasions. However, those kinds of conflicts had been within the realms of student argument.

n

nThey did not cross the line.

n

nXu Tui could not interfere if they were laughing at Cheng Mo behind his back.

n

nHowever, mocking Cheng Mo in his face and adding insult to injury was going overboard.

n

nHe Mingxuan did not back down when he saw Xu Tui glaring at him. He stood abruptly and stared straight at Xu Tui with a look of disregard.

n

n“What I said was the truth. What’s the matter? Do you have a problem? Can’t I speak the truth?” He Mingxuan tilted his head. He had a provocative expression on his face.

n

n“You!”

n

nXu Tui took half a step forward. He was livid.

n

n“Why? Do you want to fight?”

n

n“Come!” He Mingxuan balled his hands into fists and clenched his teeth. He let out a cold laugh. He seemed afraid that Xu Tui would not step forward.

n

n“Head out and fight if you want to fight.”

n

nThe voice of the teacher-in-charge rang out coldly. “However, don’t blame me for not reminding you. You shouldn’t blame me if you disrupt the order of this operation and hamper your own futures.”

n

n“Little Tui, don’t. Don’t stoop to their level. It is because of my disappointing results…” Cheng Mo quickly stepped forward and pulled Xu Tui back.

n

n“Don’t worry. I know when to stop.”

n

nAfter pushing Cheng Mo away, Xu Tui glared at He Mingxuan and said, “He Mingxuan, we are classmates. We would be classmates even when we enter the Huaxia Genetic Evolution College in the future. Even more so, we would be fellow countrymen. Let’s not mention helping each other, but we shouldn’t fight amongst ourselves, should we? I hope that you would act more intelligently and not disrupt the harmony between fellow countrymen this early into the trip.”

n

n“What he said is logical. He Mingxuan, you are in the wrong.”

n

nAt the side, a young lady who had been looking down and reading her book suddenly spoke.

n

n“Gong Ling, it’s none of your business.”

n

nHe Mingxuan was a little frustrated. He then laughed coldly toward Xu Tui. “Don’t mention the kinship between fellow students and countrymen with me. You guys are a Rice Bucket and an Enlightened Mind Type. What kinship? We’ll be happy if you don’t disgrace Jincheng Prefecture.”

n

nXu Tui’s mindset had transformed ever since the stalking incident and the incident at the bubble tea store. He was no longer anxious at this moment.

n

n“Alright, you said that yourself. It’s you who do not care about the kinship between fellow students.”

n

nXu Tui turned around and walked toward the other person who had been loudly mocking Cheng Mo just now, Tong Qi.

n

nXu Tui’s actions immediately attracted the attention of everyone on the bus.

n

nTong Qi… This was a name that Xu Tui had not only heard from Special Intelligence Division Captain Zhou Sheng, but he had also heard about him from several students.

n

nHe was a genius from Jincheng Sixth High School.

n

nHis family was also very reputable.

n

nIt was rumored that he had gone through a series of systematic training ever since he was young.

n

nHe also scored extremely well in the genetic exams.

n

nHe was the only genius who managed to activate 16 genetic base points at the exam venue in Jincheng Prefecture.

n

nHe was the top scorer of this year’s genetic exams.

n

nBefore this, Xu Tui had been rather excited to meet the top scorer of Jincheng Prefecture.

n

nHowever, Xu Tui did not expect to meet the top scorer in such a manner.

n

nXu Tui walked toward Tong Qi’s seat. However, without waiting for Xu Tui to say anything, an angry shout rang out behind him.

n

n“Xu Tui, what are you going to do?”

n

nThe teacher-in-charge scolded Xu Tui before he could do anything, “If you want to cause trouble, I’ll send you off the bus.”

n

nThis was the first time Xu Tui felt so upset.

n

nHe was very upset at the teacher-in-charge.

n

nHe had not done anything, yet he had been shouted at twice by the teacher.

n

nHowever, having gone through many years in school, Xu Tui was already an expert at outwitting the teacher.

n

nHe turned around and faced the teacher-in-charge, then revealed his row of white teeth, “Teacher, which eye of yours saw me cause trouble? You have to produce the evidence,” Xu Tui challenged. I only want to say a few words to my fellow student, Tong Qi. Is that not allowed? Or are we going to have a no-talking rule in the bus today?”

n

nHis tone was neutral.

n

nIt silenced the teacher who was about to flare up.

n

nThe teacher stared coldly at Xu Tui but did not say anything.

n

nXu Tui’s gaze was also a little cold. This teacher-in-charge must be sick in the head. He did not know how to do his job and was picking on Xu Tui. Wasn’t that causing trouble?

n

nXu Tui turned around and said, “Tong Qi.”

n

nTong Qi did not move. He remained in his seat with his arms crossed. He tilted his chin slightly upward and gave Xu Tui a curt reply, “Do you need something?”

n

n“Be more respectful with your words next time.”

n

nTong Qi was not aggravated even though he was criticized by Xu Tui. Instead, he raised his head and laughed. “And what if I don’t?”

n

nXu Tui gave Tong Qi a cold stare, then returned to his seat without saying anything.

n

nAlong the way, Xu Tui noticed that the teacher-in-charge had not stopped staring at him. It seemed as though the teacher was trying to find faults with him. It made Xu Tui roll his eyes toward the teacher.

n

nTwenty minutes later, all of the students had boarded the bus. The teacher-in-charge went through the attendance list and confirmed that all of the students were here.

n

n“Students, let me introduce myself. My surname is Cha and my full name is Cha Yifeng. I belong to the investigation department of Jincheng Prefecture Ministry of Education. I’m the teacher-in-charge of your group.

n

n“There are 30 students on this bus. All of you are genius students who have been accepted into the Huaxia Genetic Evolution College.

n

n“I believe that you have heard and understood that the annual season of students reporting to their genetic evolution colleges is never peaceful.

n

n“This time, we would spend two days on the road.

n

n“During these two days, I hope that every student would be able to listen to instructions and follow the rules while on the road. You will safely arrive at the capital and begin your college life, and I will have successfully completed my first escort mission.”

n

nAt this point, Cha Yifeng’s tone suddenly turned threatening. “However, I’ll say the ugly words first. If you dare to cause trouble and not follow the rules while we are on the road, please do not blame me for turning nasty.”

n

nCha Yifeng had directed the last few words toward Xu Tui. Xu Tui rolled his eyes.

n

nWas he that prominent?

n

n“Did all of you hear me?”

n

nThe scattered replies made Cha Yifeng look bad. He shouted again, “Did all of you hear me? Louder.”

n

n“Yes.”

n

nCha Yifeng had an unfriendly gaze. He had especially stared at the thorn that was Xu Tui, only to see that Xu Tui was still looking downward.

n

n“Xu Tui!”

n

nXu Tui did not look up, nor did he say anything.

n

n“Xu Tui!”

n

nCha Yifeng walked forward and arrived in front of Xu Tui’s seat before he shouted.

n

nCheng Mo gently elbowed Xu Tui.

n

n“What’s the matter, Teacher?”

n

n“Did you hear what I said just now?

n

nXu Tui looked at Cha Yifeng for some time, then slowly said, “Teacher, my ears are fine. I’m not deaf.”

n

nCha Yifeng was furious.

n

nThat was not the answer he wanted to hear.

n

nHe had wanted to seize the opportunity to lecture Xu Tui and display his authority. That way, he would have a much easier time controlling this group of students while they were on the road.

n

nHe did not expect to be put on the spot by Xu Tui.

n

nHowever, he would have gone overboard if he continued to press the matter.

n

nThe cameras in the bus were not decorative items.

n

n“It’s good that you hear me. Wait for the bus to set off.”

n

nAll he could do was return to his seat with a fierce expression.

n

n…

n

n“Two days. Can you last that long?” Xu Tui asked softly when he heard the faint sounds of Cheng Mo’s growling stomach.

n

n“No problem. I brought a lot of food. We’ll also be given meals along the way,” Cheng Mo assured his friend.

n

n“Alright. I’ve also brought food along. I also have Level E and Level F Energy Restoration Elixirs. If you are really hungry, we can use those to stave off your hunger.”

n

n“Don’t worry. I brought some with me too.”

n

n“Tell me if you don’t have enough.”

n

nThey waited for half an hour. First, two security personnel from the military examined the interior of the bus with an inspection device.

n

nThen, one of them went to the front of the bus and sat down behind the driver.

n

nThe other officer took out a fist-sized circular device and placed it at a central position on the roof of the bus. He gave the device a gentle tap and activated the electronic device.

n

nXu Tui knitted his brows slightly.

n

nHe felt a little upset the moment that electronic device was activated.

n

nAt the same time, Gong Ling, who was sitting in front of Xu Tui, also knitted her brows.

n

nAlmost instantly after the electronic device was activated, several students who were playing with their communication devices suddenly let out a cry of surprise.

n

n“What’s going on? My communication device suddenly ran out of power. It had been fully charged!”

n

n“That’s right. It’s the same for me. I can’t even restart it.”

n

n…

n

n“This is a Super Miniature Radiation Atomic Releasing Device. When it is activated, all electronic devices would lose power within its radius because of a disruption of the electronic signals. At the same time, it also acts as a signal blocker. All of your electronic devices would return to normal after we arrive at our destination and the device is shut off.” The security officer finished what he had to say with a serious expression, then sat down at the last row of seats.

n

nThe students in the bus let out a sorrowful howl.

n

nWouldn’t they be bored to death along the way if they could not use their electronic devices?

n

n“So, I brought a book.” Gong Ling, who was sitting in front of Xu Tui, waved the book in her hand and smiled.

n

nHowever, the bus did not set off even after the security officers took their seats.

n

nThey waited for a while longer. Suddenly, a tall and slender figure stepped onto the bus.

n

nShe was wearing dainty white shoes, a pair of light blue jeans that hugged her slender legs and waist, and a rather loose light-colored shirt. Her hair was tied into a ponytail, and she was carrying a black backpack in her arms.

n

nThe youthful aura that radiated from that person even made Gong Ling, who was in her prime age, turn her head to look.

n

nShe was a little envious.

n

nEven though the person was wearing a blue disposable medical mask, all of the boys in the bus sat up straight and glanced toward her.

n

nXu Tui was rather shocked.

n

nWasn’t that the female researcher? She was Professor An Xiaoxue from the Huaxia Genetic Evolution College’s Mystery Branch school of Enlightened Mind. Why was she here?

n

n“I am Professor An Xiaoxue from the Huaxia Genetic Evolution College’s Mystery Branch school of Enlightened Mind. I am also a teacher who will escort the students on this bus.” The students were silent, only giving An Xiaoxue acknowledging glances. “Along the way, I hope that you students will be able to follow the rules. You can tell me if you have any questions or require any assistance.”

n

n“Have all of you heard me clearly?” An Xiaoxue, who had just got onto the bus, said.

n

n“Yes, Professor An!”

n

nThe reply was bright and organized. Cha Yifeng, who was also an escorting teacher, felt extremely displeased when he heard it.

n

nIt was a little heart-wrenching…

n

nThey were both teachers. Why was the difference in treatment so stark?

n
