After the intermission, Liu Hongzi went to the teacher to admit his mistakes and deeply reflected on himself. His attitude was very sincere. The teacher who had lost his strength forgave him and took him to apologize to the frightened female student. Then he instructed the burly student to resume his game after a few words.

Seeing this scene from a distance, Chu Rong stretched out his hand and patted Qiao Zhiya, who was obviously worried and uneasy, and glanced at Xiang Kun standing at the corner of Liu Hongzi’s competition area. His eyes deepened.

Not long after, there was another commotion from the edge of the spectator seats — another big shot came!

The person who came this time was Xiang Hui, and he was accompanied by several federal officials of high status. Upon closer inspection, those officials were all parents of students. It seemed that parents of students came together to watch their children’s games…

Some of the parents of the students who were in the same camp as them immediately stepped forward to greet each of them, while those who were not qualified to join the heirs of the Four Great Families shrank tacitly and became obedient  melon eaters.

Xiang Hui’s entrance seemed very lively, completely different from the situation when Chu Rong came. 

Seeing this, Qiao Zhiya subconsciously tensed his face, glanced at Chu Rong, and whispered, “Did they bully you on purpose…” This obviously isolating the Marshal, which was very repulsive behavior in Qiao Zhiya’s point of view. 

“It’s just a petty old trick. No need to worry about it.” Chu Rong glanced over there lightly, his brows were slightly frowned, and his eyes were impatient.

‘They’re like a swarm of haunting flies.’ the Marshal thought.

Noticing his irritability, Qiao Zhiya leaned toward him comfortingly, and whispered, “Then let’s not watch them. Just watch Xiao Yan’s game, he is about to play.” 

Chu Rong looked down at him, stretched out his hand and tugged at the youth’s ears. It seemed Qiao Zhiya was also affected, which only worsened his mood. He took out his communicator and sent a message.

Xiang Hui finished greeting everyone with a smile, and then was surrounded by everyone as he walked to the front row where Chu Rong was sitting. Just as he was about to say some polite words to fight back with the Marshal, the director of Campus A, who had disappeared for a long time, hurried away with his people to come over. They greeted Chu Rong graciously, and said, “The place has been arranged, please come with me.”

Chu Rong stood up directly, picked up the confused Qiao Zhiya, and walked around Xiang Hui who was still smiling. Behind him, the officials with different expressions followed the staff arranged by the director to the real special viewing area set up on the mid-air lift platform in the training hall.

The play was cut off before it even started, the smile on Xiang Hui’s face faded. He looked at the director of Campus A who was still there, glanced at the special viewing area, and asked indifferently, “Director, what are you doing for him? Are you giving him special privileges?” 

“Of course not, I am doing it for the sake of everyone’s safety,” The director quickly waved his hands and sighed sadly, “Everyone knows that Marshal Chu’s spiritual power has been polluted. There are so many people here and the environment is so noisy. If the Marshal sits here and loses control of his spiritual power due to the reckless behavior of some people while watching the battle, wouldn’t that harm everyone present? So I thought about it carefully and decided to rectify this immediately. Let the Marshal go to the temporary viewing area to watch the game alone. Thankfully, he cooperates so well. He’s truly understanding and righteous.” 

Everyone: “…” 

This reasoning was really solid. He couldn’t accuse the school of giving Chu Rong a special privilege like this. 

The smile on Xiang Hui’s face almost faded. He was silent for a few seconds, and then said, “Then I’d like to be wronged, and go to accompany Marshal Chu. He’s alone there, so deserted.”

The director didn’t agree, he glanced at him, and said hesitantly, “This, this is not good…” 

“Why?” Xiang Hui was so angry that he showed a more gentle smile, and said softly, “I’m willing to listen to your reason.”

The director looked at him in embarrassment and said, “Well, today is the final exam for mecha piloting, and it seems that there are no students in your family participating in the competition… But, you’re still a family member of a student here, so our school welcomes you, but… Cough, Marshal Chu’s level of spiritual power is too high. In case he really loses control, there is a protective shield over there to block it, and it won’t affect this place. But if you go in, since you only have an A level of spiritual power, I’m afraid…”

The director actually meant that Xiang Hui wasn’t good enough to sit next to Chu Rong. 

This level of spiritual power difference has always been a pain in Xiang Hui’s heart. At this time, he was compared with Chu Rong in public, the smile on Xiang Hui’s face disappeared immediately, and he said coldly, “Then the child who is with Marshal Chu also belongs to SSS-grade? That’s why he’s allowed there?” 

The director turned his head and glanced over there, and replied honestly, “Oh, that child. That’s not true, he has a third-degree disability and has no spiritual power at all. So, he won’t be injured by the Marshal’s spiritual riots. I.. cough, I thought you knew about this, Colonel.” 

The reasons were too good, and the director alluded to the rumors some time ago. They couldn’t find another reason. 

Just at this time, Chu Yan in the arena kicked his opponent out of the arena with another clean blow, causing the students in the same group to exclaim, as if they were applauding the director’s words.

The expressions of the melon-eating crowd watching from a distance also became strange — here again, another scene where the Xiang family chased the Chu family to target, but was quickly choked to death by the Chu family.

“Well, Colonel Xiang, how about I arrange for you a seat in the front row suitable for watching the battle?”

The director was the first to break the silence at the moment and asked intimately.

Xiang Hui gave him a cold look, smirked, turned around and took the people to sit in the spectator seats. He looked at Liu Hongzi’s match, pretending to concentrate on watching the game.

The director subconsciously followed up and exchanged some pleasantries, then cared about other parents of the students, and finally retired with a simple and honest smile on his face.

Xiang Hui’s arrival seemed to be a signal, and then other “student parents” – who were big bosses in their respective field – arrived one after another, and the atmosphere in the spectator area became more and more strange.

On one side was the official group led by Xiang Hui, on the other side was Marshal Chu who was in the special viewing area of ​​the lifting platform. This auditorium was filled by so-and-so military higher-ups from many factions, but there’s also small shrimps who weren’t qualified enough to talk to them. In just a few hours, this small grade competition has gained the attention of most of the top leaders of the Federation.

But the match was in full swing, and there were not many people in the spectator area who were really watching the game. Everyone exchanged greetings and contacted each other in different ways, turning this small spectator area into a small Federal upper-level gathering.

Seeing this, Chu Yan, who had already cut through the mess and finished the morning competition, once again confirmed that this was his worst end-of-term!

“Sure enough.”

In a private room inside a restaurant in the school’s trade area, Chu Yan poked a piece of pork ribs. He was beyond annoyed, and said angrily, “Why are those people so idle? Why don’t they fuck off somewhere not here. Especially that Xiang Hui. It’s so obvious that he regards you as his imaginary enemy, Erge. Hahaha, does he think that he’s qualified to stand opposite of you? He is just a Colonel, and everyone praises him because he is the young master of the Xiang family. Bleh, it’s as if he has some personal merits. He only relies on his family name, and yet he thinks so highly of himself.” 

Chu Rong let him vent for this time. 

After watching the turbulence all morning, Qiao Zhiya’s excitement and joy had been completely worn away. Hearing what Chu Yan said at this time, he finally realized something. He glanced sideways at Chu Rong who had been calmly peeling shrimp and didn’t speak, and asked, “Xiao Yan, what’s going on with those people? They don’t look like the parents of students who came to watch the game, they are all weird…” 

“Of course it’s strange! Few of those people really have children going to school here! Most of them only have nephews and nieces of their second cousin, third uncle, neighbor’s second sister, or those kinds of relations to the students here. They just came here to watch the fun or to join in Xiang Hui’s cause – or whatever the hell he wants anyway.” 

Chu Yan simply put down his chopsticks and patted the table. He looked like he was reminiscing of something, “Those people, especially the one from the Xiang family, are simply dog plaster that cannot be shaken off! As long as there are similar occasions, once my Erge goes, that Xiang Hui will be like a fly that smelled meat. Not only did he go by himself, but he also brought a group of bedbugs who belonged to the Xiang family’s faction. Then, on top of that, some ‘idle’ people will follow to spectate! I know they’re just a bunch of sycophants who want to ingrate themselves to the Four Great Families. Bah! in the past, it will end up in this ghost situation.”

This was also the reason why Chu Rong despised going out and had a bad attitude when he saw those people. Who would still have a good face when being constantly pestered by people like this? Chu Rong wasn’t a saint. 

Qiao Zhiya frowned when he heard that, and then held his breath and said, “Why do they do this…” How annoying this kind of life must be.

“Of course it’s to stimulate Erge’s polluted spiritual power. The angrier he became, the easier it would be for his spiritual power to riot. They wanted to kill him off, so to speak.” Chu Yan sneered, growled, and said sarcastically, “Unfortunately, they have been doing this for a decade at this point, but they haven’t been successful even once. Pah, so ridiculous!” 

Qiao Zhiya’s small face was tense, and he turned his head to look at Chu Rong again. With pursed lips, he leaned over limply. He patted the Marshal’s arms consolingly, and whispered, “I’m sorry, I don’t know… Don’t worry, I will cure your illness as soon as possible!”

Chu Rong glanced at him. He put a plate of peeled shrimp meat in front of him, served him another bowl of soup, patted his head, and said, “Don’t think about it. Eat well, and learn to peel the shrimp yourself. Drink the soup first.” After speaking, he glanced at Chu Yan lightly.

Chu Yan choked when he saw Chu Rong, and his anger completely fell silent. He glanced at the plate of shrimps with the eyes of a dead fish, hummed in a low voice with jealousy and sourness, and stuffed the ribs into his mouth angrily.

Sensing his younger brother’s displeasure, Chu Rong also served him a bowl of soup and said, “Don’t worry, this situation won’t last for too long.” 

Chu Yan was taken aback when he heard this, then suddenly realized something, and turned to look at him, excitedly said, “What do you say? Are you and your eldest brother holding back some bad ideas?”
