Chapter 955: What does Chapter 954 have to do with me?

At the beginning of September, on the train from Nanluo City to the Capital City, a young man carrying a suitcase sat amidst the crowded carriage, silently observing the scenery outside the window.

The young man was none other than Su Yang. As expected, Qinghe Academy had admitted him. However, this fact stirred quite a sensation outside.

How could the top scholar of the province choose Qinghe Academy, a place hardly renowned, without causing surprise?

People across the province were curious—just who was this Su Yang that had entered Qinghe Academy?

Even among the Ten Great Families, only a few people like Nan Wudi knew that the top scholar Su Yang was Master Su of Pingnan Province. As for the others, they were still puzzled as to how the top scholar shared the same name as Master Su.

Su Yang’s trip to the Capital City was exceedingly low-key, and only a few people around him were aware of it.

During the vacation, Su Yang had traveled to different places for training and refining Elixirs while also investigating more about Qinghe Academy.

Qinghe Academy was situated in a remote area, located in a barely populated small town on the southern outskirts of the Capital City. Nearby, the surroundings were empty, a place completely undeveloped. Unlike other academies, Qinghe Academy had not driven development in that area; on the contrary, due to the combative nature of its students, several nearby residents had moved away, leading to even more desolation around the academy afterward.

Qinghe Academy did not have many admission slots each year—indeed, they rarely filled all slots. From the outside, it certainly seemed like an institution that should have been phased out long ago.

Yet, Qinghe Academy still stood firm, astonishingly surviving for over seventy years without collapsing, making one wonder what was really going on with the academy.

To have lasted more than seventy years without faltering, it should have at least qualified as a comprehensive university. However, Qinghe Academy had never changed; neither collapsing nor advancing, remaining the same for decades without any noticeable change, leaving people speechless.

At seven in the evening, Su Yang arrived at the Capital City train station. As soon as he exited, he saw the place crowded with representatives from various universities there to pick up new students, yet there was no sign for Qinghe Academy.

Su Yang didn’t mind, however, he went to the exit, flagged down a taxi, and directly told the driver to head to Qinghe Academy.

The taxi driver, who was sitting in the car listening to the radio, perked up and excitedly gestured for Su Yang to get in upon hearing Qinghe Academy.

"Buddy, are you a new student at Qinghe Academy? You’re in luck riding with me. Others probably don’t even know where Qinghe Academy is. Even if they do, they might take you the long way and make you spend extra money unnecessarily. Just relax in my cab, I’ll make sure you’re satisfied!"

As the driver boasted while driving, Su Yang sat in the back, simply smiling without a word. In fact, he could tell that the driver wasn’t all that well-intentioned, but he didn’t bother to address it. A few hundred yuan was trivial to Su Yang, so why should he care?

Seeing that Su Yang kept silent, the driver thought he had convinced him and began babbling even more unreasonably.

As Su Yang leaned back, ignoring the driver, suddenly, the driver stopped the car and turned around with a smile, "Buddy, going to Qinghe Academy on the meter would cost 380. How about this—I’ll charge you 300, and we’ll pick up a couple more people along the way, how’s that?"

Su Yang saw right through the driver’s nonsense. It wouldn’t even cost 200 to get to Qinghe Academy, let alone 380. Charging 300 and wanting to add more passengers to share the ride was downright shady.

However, Su Yang was too indifferent to bother with such trivial matters and waved his hand: "Whatever."

"Alright, then make yourself comfortable!" The driver, thrilled, hummed a tune, meandering around until somehow he managed to convince two girls and a boy to carpool, bustling them into the taxi.

"Perfect, you’re all heading to Qinghe Academy. You guys can get acquainted!" the driver exclaimed excitedly.

The two girls glanced at Su Yang and the other boy, looking slightly reserved. The boy, quite forward, reached out his hand: "Hello, beauties. I’m Li Chuan from Jiangnan Province, it’s great to meet you!"

The two girls looked at each other and quietly shared their names without accepting the handshake.

The taller one was Xie Han and the shorter was Lin Qian; both were from Pingbei Province.

Li Chuan, pleased with getting the girls’ names, completely ignored Su Yang, who was the first to sit in the car, and started chatting eagerly with the two girls.

Xie Han was rather introverted, while Lin Qian, being more outgoing, quickly warmed up to Li Chuan. Li Chuan, aiming to impress, spoke with great eloquence, eliciting admiration from the two girls.

Throughout this, Su Yang remained silent, just sitting and watching outside as if everything had nothing to do with him.

The taxi soon arrived at Qinghe Academy’s entrance. Li Chuan was the first to jump out, smiling: "Ladies, let me help you with your luggage."

As he spoke, Li Chuan ran to the back, opened the trunk, and took out the girls’ suitcases. As Su Yang paid the fare and began to walk away, he quickly said: "Hey, what are you looking at? Lend a hand!"

Su Yang glanced at him but continued walking toward the school without a word.

"Hey!" Li Chuan was infuriated: "Didn’t you hear me speak? I asked you to help carry a suitcase, didn’t you hear?"

"What’s it to me?" Su Yang said coldly.

"How can you be like that?" Li Chuan snapped: "They are just two girls; you’re not going to make them carry their heavy suitcases by themselves, are you? Are you even a man? Don’t you have any decency?"

"Not helping them with their suitcases means I lack decency?" Su Yang frowned. "What kind of logic is that?"

"Nonsense, ladies first. We men should be more considerate toward girls; don’t you understand that basic concept?" Li Chuan glared. "Do you even know about the gentlemanly conduct in Britain..."

Su Yang, not wanting to listen to his nonsense, picked up his own suitcase and walked straight towards the academy.

"Hey, you stop right there!" Li Chuan was furious. He had wanted to show off in front of the girls, and Su Yang’s snub obviously upset him.

Back in high school, Li Chuan was no saint; he had gathered a group, claiming to be the class and school tyrant. Moreover, he had two buddies who also enrolled at Qinghe Academy, determined to rule the place.

But on the first day at the academy, someone snubbed him. How could he not be enraged?

"I told you to stop, did you hear me!" Li Chuan took a swift step forward, reaching out to grab Su Yang’s collar.

Su Yang dodged to the side, eyeing Li Chuan coldly: "What are you trying to do?"
