Chapter 185

The students in Class 6 levels of "newness" and "oldness" varied, kept talking non-stop, but their bodies and eyes remained as honest as ever, constantly watching whether Qin Su was satisfied with their speech, and naturally also noticing Qin Su's movements.

Seeing Qin Su approaching, he mentally reviewed whether he had made a mistake in what he had just said, and honestly stepped aside.

It wasn't until Qin Su passed by that he realized Qin Su wasn't coming at him because of his words. As his heart raced and he calmed down, he couldn't help but feel a mix of disappointment and curiosity, and became even more concerned about Qin Su's actions.

They saw Qin Su pass by and head towards that group...

Wait a minute, weren't there only a few teachers waiting for them outside before? Why is there such a large group this time? And what about the school leaders they've only heard about but never seen in their year at the school?

As people personally selected by Qin Su to enter Class 6), they haven't spent much time with Qin Su. Could it be that the leaders are trying to take advantage of their status to steal the time that Qin Su should have spent with them?

Among the Class of 26 of students who were able to enter Class 6) of the Fourth Military Academy, each had their own 'remarkable' qualities. The school leaders not only knew them, but most of them were also familiar with each other in their intricate networks of relationships.

Because of their familiarity with each other and their deep understanding of the social rule that "no one gets up early without a reason," the group from Class 6 of the Fourth Military Academy looked at the school leaders with distrust and vigilance.

A group of people were originally chatting together, but the students of Class 6, the Zerg Fourth Military Academy, quickly noticed that the people of the Fourth Military Academy were not in a good condition.

"What's going on? Why are you all suddenly silent?"

"Hate? Am I seeing things? Is there anything wrong with any of them?"

The students at the Fourth Military Academy were indignant.

"The fact that they're here is suspicious in itself."

"They've been spotted. They all have shifty eyes; they're obviously here to steal Qin Su. Just you wait and see, they'll be exposed in less than a minute."

"Um... it seems your uncle is among them too."

"What's wrong with Uncle? He was asking me about Qin Su's family situation yesterday, and I said I didn't know. He told me to find out in Class 6 and secretly tell him."

"My mom asked me almost the same question yesterday; I had completely forgotten about it if you hadn't mentioned it."

"To be honest, I also..."

"Add 1."

The people from the Fourth Military Academy spoke, casting expectant glances at the students from the original (Class 6.

The original (Class 6 students immediately launched into a series of denials.

"Have no idea."

I don't know.

Never heard of it.

Don't ask.

Don't ask about things the Class Monitor hasn't announced.

The students of the Fourth Military Academy did not believe it upon hearing this, and could only sigh inwardly.

Later, they never truly gained the trust of the group around Qin Su.

It's their fault for making a bad initial impression; now, they're trying to infiltrate the organization as quickly as possible?

The students of the Fourth Military Academy exchanged glances, thinking about the day they would be truly accepted by them and learn more about Qin Su from them than outsiders knew. They felt that the sun had come out, the rain had stopped, and they were ready again.

--

"Um, Master Qin Su is coming towards us on his own."

"Cough cough..."

"Stop coughing and backing away, Carpenter. Come forward. If you lose, you're the one who loses. If you complete the task of inviting Qin Su, everyone will be grateful to you."

As Qin Su approached, several light coughs rang out, accompanied by everyone unconsciously straightening their clothes and tensing their bodies.

Carpenter, a beta, was pushed to the front. Looking at Qin Su getting closer and closer, he sighed inwardly that he was good in every way except for his bad luck, but he still had a big smile on his face.

With only a few minutes left in the class, the teacher behind him didn't say anything. Even if he wanted to, he didn't have the right to speak in front of so many leaders, so he simply retreated to the back of the room along with the other instructors and teachers who were there to watch the show.

Qin Su initially thought the 'teachers' were just gossiping, but as he walked along, he learned what they were talking about by observing their lip movements.

Why was he being invited? Qin Su wasn't sure for a moment. He could only deduce from the other party's words that the invitation was a one-to-many affair, not a one-to-one one.

Given his persona of being "glamorous on the surface but nothing inside" and the fact that he relies on "extortion" against specific groups to make up for his lack of personal connections, it would be best for him to refuse all social activities that could easily "bring them closer" and increase the risk of exposing his true situation, regardless of what they want to invite him to do.

His relationship with them, which has always been 'separated by a veil,' is the safest for his public image.

Pulling his thoughts back, Qin Su stopped about two steps away from Carpenter, who was at the front.

On his way here, he mentally matched the names and appearances of everyone here, and knew their individual personal information clearly.

They sent a representative, which saved him the trouble.

With the teachers and instructors related to the training content of Class 6) all behind him, and knowing that the leaders of the Fourth Military Academy were asking for his help and were likely to speak to him on their own initiative, Qin Su, who was standing still, did not make a sound. He simply did not look at the people behind him, but focused his gaze on the people in front of him.

Because of their personal purposes, I am not the Class Monitor of Class 6 at this moment, but the 'invited person' in front of them.

Carpenter saw Qin Su stop and look at him calmly with slightly lowered eyelids. His indifferent expression did not soften even though Carpenter had smiled first.

It seemed as if they could see right through their intentions.

Qin Su clearly disliked indecisive people. Carpenter's smile remained unchanged as he decisively extended his hand, "Qin Su, you..."

Carpenter deliberately used a polite "you" to express his respect for Qin Su, then seemed to remember that they were at school and that it was more appropriate to use "you" in Qin Su respective roles. "Ahem, hello, I am..."

The crowd behind them, ears perked up. "..."

A scheming person.

Carpenter Silversig.

Qin Su glanced at the outstretched hand, interrupted the other person, and called out their name precisely. Taking advantage of a fleeting look of surprise on the other person's face, he raised his hand to politely shake theirs, then released it and asked, "Is there something you need?"

Qin Su glanced indifferently at the crowd behind Carpenter, then his gaze returned to Carpenter. Taking advantage of the fact that Carpenter needed his help, he deliberately adopted a nonchalant, superior demeanor in front of the leaders, subtly using their status to elevate his own position.

Those behind Carpenter, upon hearing Qin Su accurately call out Carpenter's name, had barely shown a hint of envy in their eyes when they saw Qin Su's cold gaze sweep over them. Their expressions varied, and they couldn't help but wonder what Qin Su meant by that glance.

'You think they're disrupting Class 6's lessons?'

'They did arrive early, that's true, but Qin Su was leading Class 6 out of their sight at that time. Did Qin Su know? Even if he did know, they didn't affect the students in Class 6, did they? Was it necessary for Qin Su to give them a cold shoulder?'

Or is it that Qin Su's authoritarian rule is so absolute that he doesn't tolerate any form of interference, even something as simple as watching from behind a screen?

'Whatever, even so, very few people could refuse a banquet with so many important figures attending at once, right?'

While the group was making all sorts of wild guesses, Carpenter quickly realized what was happening, spoke with obvious delight:

"It's like this, tonight at 8 PM, the Fourth Military Academy will be holding a grand thank-you banquet in K1 Ballroom to express our gratitude for the support from all sectors of the Fourth Military Academy during this period. Principal Xu is experiencing some health issues and is currently receiving treatment, making it inconvenient for him to travel. We have come here on Principal Xu's behalf to invite you, Qin Su, to the banquet tonight."

Fearing Qin Su might refuse, Carpenter quickly added, "Besides our Fourth Military Academy personnel, there will also be Marshal Bersha from Icrius, Major General Norian from Vagakupo, and Greyliff from Lixia..."

Before coming, Carpenter made a point of memorizing the names of all the top figures in the Federation and various planets on the invitation list.

"I'm sorry." Qin Su interrupted Carpenter's enumeration after only hearing the beginning, decisively and succinctly declining the invitation, "I'm busy."

Why am I busy...?

Let them think for themselves. He couldn't very well tell them that if someone had nothing to hide, they would be 99% tempted to meet so many famous people at the banquet. Unfortunately for them, Qin Su had something to hide.

Meeting this group of people in front of him was enough to make him appear calm on the surface while secretly feeling a little uneasy, let alone meeting the group that Carpenter had mentioned.

What if he says something that leads them to discuss it in front of him and discover his inconsistencies?

Even if he has flaws, as long as he doesn't show up, even if they gather together and talk to each other, without their own personal participation and verification, they won't fully trust each other's words.

Even if the other person tells the truth, you'll still feel like they're hiding something from you.

Even the dogs want to go, but he can't.

Carpenter:

"!"

"?"

"..."

Carpenter's expression changed several times in just a few seconds.

Completely unprepared for so many people present, Qin Su felt utterly humiliated. He barely mentioned three names before losing interest in listening further and impatiently interrupting him in a cold voice.

It's not just disrespectful to them; they completely disregard them.

If those people heard Qin Su say he wasn't interested in their arrival in front of them, who knows what would happen... Fine, even if they heard it, the person in front of them is Qin Su, so they wouldn't do anything, and might even force a smile in front of Qin Su.

Just like now, after being rejected, he quickly managed his expression and still smiled obsequiously at Qin Su.

"Haha... okay."

The key issue is that he doesn't dare to say 'it's bad' either.

The people behind him. "?"

Oh... so quick to refuse? Rumor has it that when Qin Su was at the Fourth Zerg Fourth Military Academy, he never refused to attend any of the banquets hosted by the Fourth Military Academy. Back then, the caliber of the people attending the banquets at the Zerg Fourth Military Academy was not as high as the people invited by their Fourth Military Academy now!

Why is it that when it comes to them, Qin Su doesn't even bother to consider it?

Are they really so unworthy?

When the 'teachers' of the Fourth Military Academy were talking about emo, I once again deeply felt Qin Su's special regard for the Zerg Fourth Military Academy.

'At first, they thought the Zerg Fourth Military Academy was a thing of the past and nothing to fear, and that with Qin Su in charge, their Fourth Military Academy had a bright future. Now it seems... they were overthinking things.'

[Oh... such a clean rejection! Not even a little consideration for my feelings? This is such a huge social arena for fame and fortune (envious). Can't you let me go and broaden my horizons?]

[Carpenter: Family, does anyone understand? I'm going to get beaten to death when I get back, waaaaaah (covers face and cries. jpg)]

[Look at the people behind Carpenter, their eyes practically popped out of their sockets!]

[Not only that, the teachers and instructors standing at the very back, watching the drama unfold, actually raised their hands to support their chins.]

[It's unimaginable what would happen if all the bigwigs from various planets, who arrived excitedly expecting to meet Qin Su, ended up staring at each other blankly in the banquet hall.]

[As expected of Boss 1, so arrogant. This indirectly proves that the King Su is so confident that he doesn't need to take them seriously at all.]

[Clicked hard]

Qin Su: "..."

Not really, he's just a little 'timid' at heart.

"Hmm." Qin Su responded to Carpenter's words, then asked in return, "Anything else?"

Carpenter: "... That's all."

Actually, he had a few regrets, but he didn't dare to say them in front of Qin Su. Qin Su didn't even bother with those famous figures, let alone a nobody like him.

Qin Su glanced at the time on his Optical Brain. During their conversation, it was almost time for class to end. He nodded slightly to Carpenter, then looked over the crowd and landed on the teacher of this class.

Sun Qin, whose gaze had been fixed on Qin Su, immediately lifted his chin with his hand, straightened his back, and forced a stiff smile as he asked, "Is there something you need, Qin Su?"

"Teacher Sun, class is over. Is there anything else planned?" Qin Su was worried that the teacher might give Class 6) some extra training.

As Qin Su finished speaking, the announcement that training would end at noon rang out.

As the training session ended, Sun Qin shook his head vigorously, saying, "That's all, that's all for today."

Fortunately, it wasn't his training session in the afternoon; otherwise, he would have had to face Qin Su, who had just ruthlessly rejected many important figures, which would have put him under a lot of psychological pressure.

He was even more afraid that the school leaders, because Qin Su had rejected him, would swarm to him again to keep an eye on him, or even coerce or entice him to become the second 'Carpenter'.

Sun Qin, who just wanted to escape this hellish place as soon as possible, finished speaking to Qin Su and then called out to Class 6) in the distance behind Qin Su: "Dismissed!"

The students in Class 6 heard the teacher's words and responded with "yes" and "received," but their bodies remained still in place.

After a series of events, the other new members realized that although they were veterans of the Fourth Military Academy, they were truly newcomers in Class 6), and naturally followed them.

This resulted in everyone in Class 6 standing still, waiting for Qin Su's orders, after Sun Qin finished speaking.

Sun Qin: "..."

If he, as a teacher, were to wash his hands of his studies and become Qin Su's student... well, he's dreaming.

During Carpenter's exchange with Qin Su, the students of Class 6 unconsciously stopped communicating, keeping their eyes and ears open. Those with keen hearing listened carefully, while those who could read lips were responsible for whispering translations in real time.

Although Qin Su had his back to them and spoke softly, they couldn't see his lip movements. However, they could still tell from Qin Su 'Carpenter mouth movements and expressions that Carpenter had been 'rejected' by Qin Su.

The people from the Fourth Military Academy initially wanted to say something, but they were quickly silenced by the people from the original (Class 6.

After they quieted down, they saw the real-time messages in the group about the language Carpenter had spoken. They were stunned and shocked by the 'skills' of the original (Class 6. They had a lot of questions they wanted to ask the people of the original (Class 6.

While waiting for Qin Su to tell them to 'dismiss,' they watched Qin Su with a gossipy glint in their eyes.

Qin Su didn't turn around, but he could feel the burning gazes of his classmates behind him. He didn't hear any footsteps from his classmates after the teacher's voice, so he guessed that his classmates hadn't moved and were waiting for him.

Qin Su: "..."

He wasn't surprised at all that the original (Class 6 would do this; what surprised him was that the people from the Fourth Military Academy would do the same... and listen to him.

Qin Su hadn't anticipated that they would be so easy to train.

Although he didn't know why they had targeted him, it was ultimately a good thing for him. Qin Su didn't look at the expressions on the faces of the 'teachers' in front of him. In front of the 'teachers', he suppressed his wonderful feelings, turned around, and said calmly to the students of Class 6): "Dismissed."

"Receive!"

"Yes!"

This time, the voices that rang out were powerful and resounding, and the gazes of everyone looking at Qin Su were as firm as if they were about to take an oath.

Teachers: "..."

It's one thing for the original (Class 6 to be lenient, but how long has it been? How can their own people from the Fourth Military Academy so brazenly "betray" them in front of these "teachers"? Do they even respect them?

Having just experienced Qin Su's rejection, and then being easily 'betrayed' by the new students from the Fourth Military Academy who joined Class 6), the 'teachers' took advantage of the fact that Qin Su had his back to them and they couldn't see the expressions on their faces, and looked at their classmates with resentment.

The students from the Fourth Military Academy kept their eyes down and didn't show any reaction.

Amidst the students' loud voices, Qin Su turned around to face the 'teachers' once again.

With the lingering influence of his earlier arrogant refusal of the big shots, he wasn't afraid that the "teachers" in front of him wouldn't make way for him.

Sure enough, the moment I turned around, the 'teachers' all made way.

Having already socialized with the 'teachers,' Qin Su walked away from them without a word, exuding an air of self-righteousness.

Everyone present, whether teachers or students, silently watched Qin Su's figure disappear.

Once Qin Su's figure disappeared from sight, the scene, which had seemed to have been muted, instantly returned to normal.

"Holy crap, we couldn't hear them at all from that far away, but you guys can tell what they're saying just by looking at their mouths? Did Class Monitor Qin... teach you lip reading?"

"In Qin Su's (Class 6, besides learning what we already know, we also have to learn how to read people's expressions?"

"Nonsense, isn't this necessary? What, you can't?"

"Damn it, another thing to learn!"

"Marshal! The Federation has thirty-six planets, and there are only sixteen marshals in total. Their prestige goes without saying. There are also generals and major generals, and I'm sure there are other key personnel from various departments of the Federation or important figures from other planets. Class Monitor, are you just going to ignore this and refuse?!"

"This is a trivial matter for our Class Monitor, how could it be false?"

The teachers exchanged glances and set their sights on the students of Class 6) who were excitedly talking.

"Take care of them." Carpenter took a deep breath. "Go."

'If they can't handle Qin Su, how can they not handle the students in Class 6?'

Even the instructors and teachers who came to watch the show, due to the threatening gazes of their superiors, surrounded the students of Class 6).

The teachers were full of confidence, firmly believing that they were just a group of students, and that they didn't need to say a few words... no, no, they didn't need to. They just needed to tell their idol to go back, and the students would eagerly flock to him.

Moreover, other classes wouldn't even get a chance to have such a good thing. Class 6) only got the chance because of Qin Su's influence.

"Honestly, even for my family, without Qin Su, I might never have seen so many people from different planets gathered together in my entire life. My dear nephew, aren't you tempted?"

"I'm tempted, but I would never do it even if you paid me. I'm in Class 6 now, and even our Class Monitor, Qin Su, isn't going, so I definitely won't go either."

"If the Class Monitor isn't going, then I won't go either."

"If Qin Su isn't going, what am I supposed to do?"

"An idol? Oh, I used to be, but not anymore. Now my only idol is Qin Su. Aunt Liu, you should be happy for me. I've gone from a womanizer to a good Class 6 who has turned over a new leaf!"

"Third Brother, it's all your fault for acting first and informing us later, inviting everyone in Qin Su's name. Qin Su must have known, so it's perfectly normal that he's unhappy and won't go."

"Yes, you guys did something Tunnel. So what if our Class Monitor is angry? As the Class Monitor, I'm angry too."

"If you're angry, then I'll be angry for the Class Monitor and won't go either."

"What? You're all angry about the Class Monitor and won't go? Then take me with you!"

Although Class 6) is still a half-cooked 'half-cooked rice', at this moment Qin Su has surprisingly stood on the same side.

"...?"

Are all children these days so stubborn and fickle?

In less than a minute, the originally confident 'teachers' were brought to their knees by the surprisingly unanimous tone of the students in Class 6).

They truly couldn't imagine what kind of angry expressions would appear on the faces of those important figures if there were no banquets tonight involving any elements of Class 6).
