Chapter 68 A big tree attracts the wind

Arriving at the Alchemy Department courtyard of the Academy again, Luo Mu suddenly discovered a few new faces. The positions where these people were sitting were exactly the same positions that Luo Mu had occupied last time due to restrictions.

Luo Mu guessed that these people must be people that Academy attaches great importance to, and Instructor Han takes them more seriously. Otherwise, with the temper Instructor Han showed that day, who would dare to skip school on the first day of school?

Several people did not arrive that day. It seemed that they had asked for leave from Instructor Han in advance.

Since he lived a little far away, Luo Mu arrived not too early, and the seats in the courtyard were already filled with students. The arrival of Luo Mu immediately attracted the attention of many students.

It's only been two months since school started, and Luo Mu is the number one among the freshmen, so he's in the spotlight. If Alchemy Department hadn't been on vacation for two months, and Luo Mu hadn't been to the Academy, there would have been a lot of trouble.

Many old students heard that there was a person named Luo Mu, and they wanted to come over and have a meeting to kill Luo Mu's spirit and give him a show of strength. However, Luo Mu was not there at all, so these old students from various departments were in vain.

However, after learning that Alchemy Department started classes today, some old militant students began to prepare to come and cause trouble for Luo Mu. Although the sixth floor is the top among the freshmen, Among the old students, he can only be considered above average. The old students with good self-control naturally want to show off their authority on Luo Mu, so as to kill the chicken to show the monkey, so that other freshmen should know their identity and know how to "respect the elders"!

Every new student who comes here will be suppressed and bullied by the old students. Over the years, an unspoken rule has been formed in the Jinxiu Academy. But Luo Mu, does not know this, and at the same time, he does not know that he has been targeted by many old students, and he needs surgery.

As the saying goes, a big tree attracts the wind, that's pretty much what it means.

At this time, Luo Mu walked into the courtyard and headed towards the last seat in the last row. On the way, Luo Mu paused, frowned slightly, and then slowly walked to his seat.

When he just entered the front row of seats, Luo Mu actually found an "acquaintance", that is, Li Hu, who made sarcastic remarks to Qu Yi that day. He had already heard Qu Yi mention that this person was Alchemy Department. He hadn't seen him last time, but he actually appeared this time.

Luo Mu didn't have a good impression of this person, and just glanced at him briefly.

While Luo Mu was looking at Li Hu, Li Hu was also sizing up Luo Mu, but with a sneer on his lips, he looked at Luo Mu passing by him with a joking look on his face. He didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.

Many other students looked at Luo Mu's position from time to time after Luo Mu walked in. Curious, gloating, disdainful, etc., various expressions appeared on their faces.

Those who are curious about Luo Mu are mostly freshmen. As for those who are disdainful, they are all old students, and they are old students who know that Luo Mu is about to be in big trouble.

Luo Mu saw all this in his eyes and couldn't help but feel a little confused. He always felt that the eyes of other students looking at him were not right. Luo Mu fell into deep thought for a while.

"Are you Brother Luo Mu?" Just as Luo Mu was lost in thought, a young man in the front row suddenly turned around and asked Luo Mu curiously, interrupting Luo Mu's meditation.

The young man looked about fourteen or fifteen years old, with red lips and white teeth and a noble face. At a glance, he could tell that he was from an extraordinary family and was either rich or noble. At this time, the young man turned around and lay on Luo Mu's table without any taboos. He looked at Luo Mu with curiosity mixed with a little excitement.

In response, Luo Mu smiled slightly and didn't say much, just nodded.

"Wow! You are really big brother Luo Mu! My name is Yang Qing, and like big brother Luo Mu, I am also a freshman who just came in this year." Upon hearing Luo Mu admit his identity, the excitement on the face of the young man named Yang Qing became even more exciting, and he introduced himself familiarly with an excited look.

"The surname is Yang?" Luo Mu raised his eyebrows and immediately remembered Jinxiu City's official name Lineage Yang Family. He didn't know if this person was from the Yang Family, but Luo Mu didn't ask much. Even if the other person was Yang Family, it had nothing to do with him.

"Brother Luo Mu, have you really reached the sixth level of Qi Refining at the age of nineteen?" Luo Mu said nothing. The young man Yang Qing's enthusiasm remained undiminished and he continued to ask Luo Mu.

Luo Mu smiled slightly and nodded again.

"It's true! Brother Luo Mu is really a genius in cultivation!" The young man Yang Qing said with excitement on his face.

As soon as these words came out, other students looked at him one after another. As soon as they heard the words "cultivation genius", many students cast jealous glances at Luo Mu. Of course, more of them had the expressions of old students with ill intentions.

Li Hu was in the courtyard. He also took the words of young Yang Qing into his ears and looked at Luo Mu with a slightly unkind look. Luo Mu did not join Alchemy Department. Before, Li Hu was a recognized genius among the Alchemy Department, not only among the Alchemy Department, but also among the entire Academy.

As long as Academy is walking among the Academy, Li Hu will receive the respect of many students, whether new students or old students, no exception. Li Hu himself also enjoys this state and is intoxicated with it.

Now Luo Mu suddenly popped up, and his dazzling brilliance was suddenly reduced by half. Now, whenever a student mentions Alchemy Department, he will always mention Luo Mu's name intentionally or unintentionally, but forget the name of Li Hu, which makes Li Hu feel quite uncomfortable.

Among the old students who want to teach Luo Mu some lessons, there is a person like Li Hu.

With a sneer, Li Hu withdrew his gaze from Luo Mu. However, when the corner of his eye glanced at Yang Qing in front of Luo Mu, deep fear appeared in Li Hu's eyes.

The young man Yang Qing's loss of voice attracted the gazes of the surrounding students. Luo Mu saw it and smiled bitterly. Luo Mu still understands that people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. Luo Mu wanted to keep a low profile and come to the Academy to practice, but it seems that he can't get what he wants.

However, Luo Mu did not dwell too much on this matter. The soldiers came to cover up the water and the soil. Thinking too much would only increase troubles. Facing those ill-intentioned glances, Luo Mu smiled coldly in his heart.

"Looking at your age, you are only about fourteen or fifteen years old, and your cultivation level has already reached the fourth level Qi Refining Stage. By the time you reach my age, you may not have reached the sixth level. After all, you are the real genius." Luo Mu just glanced at his students, and then shifted his gaze to Yang Qing in front of him, and said with a smile.

"Brother Luo Mu is so ridiculous. How can I have such ability?" Yang Qing scratched his head and said with an embarrassed look on his face. However, looking at the excitement in his eyes, Luo Mu knew that what he said had probably played a good role in encouraging the boy in front of him.

"By the way, let me ask you something." Yang Qing was still intoxicated by Luo Mu's words, and suddenly Luo Mu's words came over again.

Yang Qing came back to his senses with a jolt, and nodded to Luo Mu, like a chicken pecking at rice. "Luo Mu If you have anything to ask me, just ask, I will definitely tell you everything."

"Did something happen to our Alchemy Department that related to me? I always feel that there is something wrong with the way others look at me along the way, including many of our old students at the Alchemy Department." Luo Mu leaned his head over, Yang Qing turned his ear to the side very coquettishly, and then Luo Mu asked in a lowered voice.

Upon hearing this, Yang Qing's expression became a little strange.

"Brother Luo Mu really doesn't know?" Yang Qing looked at Luo Mu and asked with disbelief.

"I know what I'm asking you for?" Luo Mu rolled his eyes and replied angrily.

"Brother Luo Mu doesn't look like the kind of person who likes to pretend. It seems that you really don't know. In fact, it's very simple, it's like this..." Yang Qing initially thought that Luo Mu was following him I was pretending, so I didn't believe it, but after carefully observing Luo Mu's expression, I found that Luo Mu was really confused, so I gave up my doubts and talked about Luo Mu in detail.

Yang Qing was talking, and Luo Mu was listening. Yang Qing became more energetic as he spoke, and Luo Mu became calmer as he listened. From the beginning, Luo Mu didn't interrupt a word.

After Yang Qing finished speaking, Luo Mu tapped his fingers on the table, with an indifferent expression on his face as he fell into deep thought. Yang Qing, on the other hand, was very sensible and did not interrupt, silently turned around, and sat up in his seat.

After a long time, Killing Intent flashed across Luo Mu's cold face, and a coldness appeared in his eyes.

"Academy actually has such a rule! They all want to suppress me and treat me as a new student. It's a good plan! However, if they want to treat me, I don't know how many old students have the strength. It's hard to say who will operate on whom, and who will use whom to establish authority!" Luo Mu said to himself with a sneer on his lips.

At this time, Instructor Han's figure also appeared at the entrance of the courtyard. The person looked at the two gates at the entrance of the courtyard and saw that they had been replaced with new ones, and the two doors that had been damaged by him had long been cleaned up. Instructor Han nodded with satisfaction, and then walked into the courtyard.

As soon as Instructor Han entered the courtyard, the noisy courtyard a second ago suddenly became silent. Pairs of pairs of eyes looked at Instructor Han in front of them with awe, not daring to show their anger for fear of attracting Instructor Han's attention, and even Luo Mu was no exception.

It seems that the last time Instructor Han took action, all the freshmen were frightened. As for the old students, they didn't know how many years they had been tortured by this person, and the fear in their hearts was even worse. Even Li Hu, who had reached the ninth level of cultivation, didn't look very good when he looked at Instructor Han.

In particular, the two students who were punished by Instructor Han last time lowered their heads so hard that they did not even have the courage to glance at Instructor Han. Although they did not raise their heads, they had already felt the arrival of Instructor Han. The two students, who were frightened and angry, could only curse in their hearts, scolding Instructor Han for not being serious.

The students looked in awe, and seemed to be very impressed by Instructor Han. After a quick glance, he found that all the students were present, and no one was missing. Instructor Han nodded and burst into laughter.
