Inner Academy

The sensor door opened automatically, revealing a classroom filled with modern features.

Hearing the sensor door open, several people in the classroom glanced at Chen Xu before losing interest.

"More than forty people are already here?" Chen Xu swept his gaze over the figures standing or sitting around the room, then found an empty seat and sat down.

Chu Tianxiong instinctively sized up the newcomer. The moment he saw him, the smile on his face froze.

To make sure he had not seen wrong, he raised a hand and wiped his eyes with his sleeve.

"Tianxiong, what's wrong?" The young man beside him noticed his friend's strange behavior and asked curiously.

Chu Tianxiong came back to his senses. Seeing his friend's questioning gaze, he leaned back in his chair. "Ah, I suddenly thought of something. It's nothing, nothing."

Though he looked calm on the surface, his heart was already in turmoil. Damn it, it really is this guy. How did he get a spot in Great Abyss National University's Inner Academy? Was he specially recruited?

The moment he saw Chen Xu, he recalled those hellish days and immediately felt awful.

Yet he could not exactly go up and ask. What if Chen Xu said, "Oh, isn't this that guy who cleaned my family's martial arts school for several days?"

Then Chu Tianxiong would lose all face.

Everyone present was among Great Abyss's most elite youths. If this matter got out, it would not take long for every notable figure in Great Abyss to learn about the Chu Family's eldest young master's dark history.

He silently withdrew his gaze and resumed chatting and laughing with his friend, though his voice had become much quieter.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem." Several deliberately loud coughs drew everyone's attention.

"Most of those present should know me."
