Interstellar Feng Shui Master 09·Qiu Miao: My friend, let me stay in the neighboring dormitory.
Teacher Wang Ge, who was attacked, heard the question from the old principal and stepped forward to give a brief report. While he was demonstrating to students how to use mental power to control mechas, three students behaved strangely. They first clashed with other students, and after Wang Ge intervened to stop them, they targeted him as their primary attack.
“These three students have never stood out in my class before, but their performance in this battle is different from usual,” said Wang Ge.
“The reason is here,” Qiu Yanping bent down to examine the three students who had fallen into a coma and said, “The three students have overused their mental power, causing severe mental exhaustion. This may leave some aftereffects.”
Hearing this, Gu Wenye furrowed his brows and asked, “Severe mental exhaustion? So, these three students used abilities that they couldn’t control at all, drove the mechas, and attacked the teacher?” Why would they do that? This doesn’t make sense. No student entering this academy would casually abuse their own mental power. The importance of mental power to a mecha pilot is self-evident. To exhaust their mental power just to attack a teacher, how deep is their grudge?
“It can be understood this way,” Qiu Yanping glanced at Gu Wenye and paused for a few seconds before continuing, “Of course, there is another possibility. These students’ attacks may not have been intentional. Someone might have forced them to use excessive mental power.”
Gu Wenye pursed his lips and said to the old principal, “We need to ask the students who were in class at that time.”
After Gu Wenye apprehended the three students, the other students who were not involved were dispersed by other staff members on campus. Gu Wenye wanted to know why these three students suddenly had an emotional outburst. Asking the students who were present at the time was the most direct way.
The old principal nodded and said, “I will call the students to the auditorium.”
“No need to go to the auditorium. Let them come to my office, one by one,” Gu Wenye rejected the old principal’s suggestion. The auditorium is too chaotic and public for him to obtain useful information. It would be better to privately question each student and then consolidate the information. This way, if there is something fishy among the students, it will be easily discovered through cross-checking information.
Qiu Yanping quickly understood Gu Wenye’s intention and nodded in agreement. Gu Wenye smiled at him.
“By the way, Principal, since there have been some incidents in the academy recently, how about we postpone the lecture we had planned? It won’t be too late to give the lecture after you resolve the issues here,” Qiu Yanping remembered his purpose for coming to the academy and said to the principal.
The old principal frowned. It was not easy to schedule a lecture with Qiu Yanping, and what if he changes his mind later and refuses to give a lecture to the students? He had already announced the lecture, so it would look bad to reschedule it. The old principal smiled and said, “No problem, these are all minor matters. They will be resolved soon. Professor Qiu is busy with many things, how can we disrupt your schedule? Let’s stick to the original plan.”
Qiu Yanping knew the old principal was just being polite. He considered himself quite understanding, so he said, “Just changing the time, nothing more. Let’s reschedule it for four days later. That should be enough time to handle the situation.” Besides, what’s all this talk about being busy? He’s idle at home every day, either studying his notebook or doing nothing. When he’s bored, he might as well transform into a cat. At least some cat toys can help pass the time. Follow the newest chapters on novelping . com.
The old principal nodded in response and said, “In that case, why don’t we have Professor Qiu stay at our academy for a few days? There is a vacant room in the faculty dormitory, right next to General Gu Wenye’s. This way, Professor Qiu won’t have to travel back and forth, saving him from the fatigue of commuting.” The old principal believed that keeping him at the academy would provide a sense of security.
Qiu Yanping thought for a moment and agreed. The single apartment he lived in was quite far from the Interstellar Mecha Academy. When the old principal sent someone to pick him up earlier, they traveled in a bullet-shaped, trackless carriage that was extremely fast. However, even with its speed, the journey took almost half an hour. Qiu Yanping also discovered that he felt a bit dizzy in this high-speed vehicle. After getting off, he quietly found a place to rest for a while until he regained his composure and walked out confidently.
It’s better to avoid this kind of suffering back and forth.
When Gu Wenye heard the old principal propose this suggestion, he inwardly applauded the old principal. The old principal was really more useful than his younger brother! How long had his younger brother been trying to make plans with Qiu Yanping? And yet, there had been no progress whatsoever. But as soon as the old principal took action, he directly arranged for Qiu Yanping to be by his side.
Gu Wenye had a gentle and refined smile on his face as he looked at Qiu Yanping and said, “Coincidentally, would you like me to take you to your dormitory later?”
“That would be great. I appreciate it,” Qiu Yanping replied with a smile, his eyes narrowing.
The old principal observed the expression on Gu Wenye’s face and swallowed the words he was about to say, “I’ll take Professor Qiu to the dormitory myself.” Although he didn’t know exactly what he had done, it seemed that Gu Wenye was unexpectedly satisfied with him. The old principal touched his white beard and couldn’t help but think that young people’s thoughts were really unpredictable.
Following Gu Wenye, Qiu Yanping first went to his office. The students who were informed by the old principal were waiting in the corridor, lining up and eagerly anticipating being summoned by Gu Wenye.
None of these students showed any signs of nervousness or panic about being individually called for a conversation with the instructor. Instead, their faces were filled with excitement.
“This is my first time having a one-on-one conversation with General Gu!”
“Who hasn’t?!”
“Oh my gosh, when I go back, I have to tell my dad! He’s going to be secretly envious of me!”
“Oh my gosh, let us in already! General Gu can ask whatever he wants, and I will tell him everything I know!”
“What if General Gu asks about who’s dating in our class… will you sell us out too?”
“Emmmm, General Gu is the number one person in my heart!”
“Traitor!”
Gu Wenye appeared at the end of the student line, and even before he spoke, a student gave a soft cough as a reminder. Soon, the previously noisy corridor became so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. You are reading on novelping(.)com, the official source.
Qiu Yanping raised an eyebrow at the sight.
Gu Wenye gave a light cough and wheeled himself through the crowd. “The first student, please come in with me. The rest of you, gentlemen and ladies, please wait quietly outside the door. Thank you.” Gu Wenye’s voice was gentle and clear, with a distant smile that also seemed warm and friendly.
The first student followed Gu Wenye into the room with a dreamy smile on their face.
The total number of students in the class was not large, only around twenty. After questioning almost half of the students, Gu Wenye noticed that it was almost dinnertime, so he took a short break.
Qiu Yanping walked with Gu Wenye to the cafeteria. Gu Wenye remained calm and quiet along the way, and Qiu Yanping felt a bit awkward in the silence. He scratched his chin and tried to find a topic of conversation. “General Gu, you seem like a stern and serious person, but I didn’t expect you to be so kind to the students.”
Gu Wenye smiled and said, “Do I really seem like a stern and serious person?” He actually felt that his image had improved a lot since he entered this academy. At least when Gu Wenle saw him a month later, he was so surprised that he almost forgot he had to maintain his image in front of others.
Qiu Yanping paused for a moment, recalling his initial impression of Gu Wenye. It was the man he had encountered at the medical center, who seemed a bit lifeless, rather than the Gu Wenye he thought he was meeting for the first time. He slightly tugged at the corner of his mouth and evaded, “A little bit.”
“Hehe.” Gu Wenye chuckled softly, about to say something, when he heard Qiu Yanping’s voice beside him, as if he had just realized something.
“Oh, by the way, Gu Wenle, do you know this person?”
Gu Wenye’s smile on his face froze for a moment.
