But Andreyao raised his hand to stop them, stood up, and with a cold glance at Chen Gu, straightened his clothes and walked out of the school cafeteria.

Lin Xiaochen looked worried, "Brother Chen, it's safe inside the school, but be very careful once you leave the premises."

"How about I lend you some people?"

Lin Xiaochen had come in second during the freshman military training by chance, which greatly increased his standing in his family. Consequently, his allowance significantly increased, and the security detail assigned to him was also strengthened.

This group of personnel constituted the foundation of Lin Xiaochen's future power base. Most of them were fiercely loyal to him, allowing him to command them with ease.

Qiao Shuangyi also immediately said, "Right, I'll lend you some people too. Don't be fooled by Andreyao's pretentious demeanor in school because he's really a nasty piece of work behind the scenes and will resort to any despicable means."

However, Chen Gu simply smiled and shook his head, "No need."

Lin Xiaochen and Qiao Shuangyi continued to persuade him for a while, but Chen Gu didn't agree. They both thought it was because Chen Gu was very confident in his own strength. However, knowing that Andreyao had powerful professionals under him, they couldn't help but still worry secretly.

But in reality, Chen Gu was very aware of his own "situation." Andreyao thinking of ambushing him? Hehe, go ahead, make your move quickly, no need to hesitate!

Chen Gu didn't believe that before Dr. Meng Ji uncovered the secret of his ability to hold multiple positions, Aviloya would leave him unattended.

As long as I'm not at Huai Shan Branch School, I'm probably under some form of "protection." It's likely carried out by powerhouses to prevent me from noticing.

If Andreyao doesn't dare make a move inside the school, then outside… Hehe, I'm actually quite looking forward to it. I want to know who exactly is "protecting" me in the shadows.

Great Actor Chen guessed it might be his old acquaintance, Lord Gong Shuxu.

「…」

In the afternoon, following his plan, Chen Gu went to report to his advisor, Zhong Yuanbei.

The Huai Shan Branch School itself did not have many students, but there were plenty of teachers. The three cohorts of students, along with those extending their graduation or applying for graduate studies, totaled less than a hundred people. However, the number of teachers and other staff—including dormitory heads like Wang Chengqian—actually exceeded one hundred and fifty!

There were also a full seventy teachers at the advisor level! This meant that many teachers didn't even have a single student.

And these advisors were all high Energy Level professionals! Chen Gu felt that even the Bureau of Mystic Security couldn't compete with Huai Shan Branch School when it came to high-end combat strength.

Not only was the school environment beautiful, but the treatment of the teachers was also top-notch. Each advisor had their own "branch palace." And the higher the advisor's rating, the larger the scale of their branch palace.

Zhong Yuanbei was of the highest category, a "Preceptor," and when Chen Gu stood in front of the "Yuanbei Palace," he was truly astonished by its grandeur and antique charm.

He waited at the door for a little while before a young man quickly walked out of the palace. Upon seeing him, Chen Gu's mind was filled with intense suspicion.

The young man, upon noticing Chen Gu, grew incredibly excited, rushed over, grabbed Chen Gu's hands, and shook them vigorously, "Junior Brother, I've finally waited for you to come!"

He pulled Chen Gu along, "Come on, let me give you a proper introduction to everything here, and from now on, you'll look after our advisor."

"Oh right, let me introduce myself. My name is Bai Shengyuan. Actually, we are already quite close; Bai Yunpeng is my uncle, and Bai Xianya is my cousin—though she is only older than me by a dozen days or so."

Chen Gu responded with a cheerful smile, "That's really great. I will be counting on you, Senior Brother, to cover for me from now on."

But Bai Shengyuan said somewhat apologetically, "I am afraid I won't be able to look after you for long, as I'll finally be able to graduate now that you're here."

At this point, Chen Gu also voiced the question that had been on his mind, "Senior Brother, you've reached the Fifth Energy Level, right? Why haven't you been able to graduate?"

Bai Shengyuan's energy fluctuations weren't perfectly concealed, probably because he had recently advanced. Chen Gu noticed it at first glance.

With capabilities like Bai Shengyuan's, he would be an outstanding student even at Huai Shan Branch School. Remaining as a teaching assistant would be no issue. How could he possibly not be able to graduate?

Bai Shengyuan's face immediately turned gloomy. "The teacher wouldn't let me graduate. His temper is bad, and he has trouble attracting students. Since he needs assistance with his research projects, he keeps holding me back..."

"Hold on..." Chen Gu suddenly realized something. I initially thought that Bai Yunpeng suggesting I report to Zhong Yuanbei had some profound meaning, but now it seems like I was just set up to take his nephew's place?

Bai Shengyuan hurriedly added, "However, Junior Brother, don't be disappointed. The teacher indeed has some shortcomings, but he really takes good care of his students."

"First off, the teacher insists that only he gets to discipline his students. If anyone else dares to hit his students, even if it's the dean, the teacher will find a way to help you get even."

Chen Gu wasn't particularly impressed; after all, Zhong Yuanbei was known for being heavy-handed, hospitalizing his own students.

"Moreover, the teacher is really generous when it comes to the students' advancement. Every time I advance, the teacher provides additional sponsorship with very precious resources. I've calculated. Over the three-plus years I've been with the teacher, the resources he has specifically prepared for my advancement totaled over one and a half billion!"
