Wei Changhe looked at Han Mo in astonishment, his eyes widening in disbelief. "You know Elder Gao? Did he guide you before?"
Elder Gao was a highly skilled doctor with experience studying abroad. He was also detached from fame and fortune, dedicated to advancing medical arts. It had taken Wei Changhe considerable effort to invite Elder Gao to Blackgold Academy, with the most crucial condition being that Elder Gao would only teach those he deemed worthy.
He wouldn't teach those with mediocre talent, no matter how diligent they were.
He wouldn't teach those with good talent but poor character.
Those who received Elder Gao's guidance were all individuals with both excellent talent and character! As expected of the God of War, her judgment in selecting men was indeed excellent.
Han Mo raised an eyebrow slightly and said calmly, "Yes, you could say it was a... master-disciple relationship."
When he had brought his ill wife to Qingyu City for treatment years ago, not only had he cured his wife, but he had also taught him acupuncture. Thus, they were considered master and disciple in a way.
He remembered giving Elder Gao a piece of amber, which was a family heirloom for treating illnesses. As repayment, he had initially refused it, but Elder Gao insisted. The item was still kept in the treasure vault of Qingyu City.
Wei Changhe beamed with joy. "That's good, that's very good!"
With people from the Dark Department protecting Blackgold Academy from within, he was naturally pleased.
Suddenly, another excellent idea struck him. "Right, Lord God of War, perhaps you could organize an event to temporarily house students from both the Medical and Martial Arts departments together for joint learning and training. Wouldn't that make your investigation more effective?"
Bai Xi raised an eyebrow slightly. "Wouldn't such a significant change arouse suspicion from the Kui Hall?"
Wei Changhe was delighted that he had come up with such a brilliant idea. "Don't worry, it won't. The Medical Department inherently requires trauma and emergency response capabilities. Especially since the Dark Department recently took two doctors from the medical department, finding a pretext will be even easier."
Upon hearing Wei Changhe's explanation, Bai Xi nodded. "If it doesn't seem abrupt, then it can be done."
Wei Changhe smiled broadly. "Excellent, I'll head back and issue a document to handle this matter. By then, the safety of all students and faculty of Blackgold Academy will be entrusted to you two."
Bai Xi nodded. "Director Wei, rest assured, the Dark Department exists to protect every legal citizen of Huaguo."
Wei Changhe looked at Bai Xi with deep respect. He clasped his hands together, took a step back, and bowed slightly. "Thank you, Lord God of War."
The night was quiet, and the stars filled the sky, bringing a sense of peace and tranquility.
Blackgold Academy, as the most powerful and well-resourced school in the entire Huaguo, boasted excellent facilities. The dormitory building before them, for instance, resembled a luxurious hotel and was quite uniquely constructed, looking like a giant birthday cake from afar.
After Bai Xi had completed all the necessary procedures, Wei Changhe insisted on taking her and Han Mo out to dinner, which was why they had returned to the dormitory so late.
The dormitory entrance, like the school gate, was a light curtain entrance. A young boy, about thirteen or fourteen years old, with a very cute appearance, stood at the entrance wearing Blackgold Academy's uniform, guarding the entrance quietly. Only upon approaching could one discern that he was not a real person but a robot.
"Pretty big sister, are you returning to your dormitory? Please swipe your student card."
Bai Xi took out her student card and waved it before the robot boy's eyes. A blue light flashed in the boy's eyes. "Miss Bai Xi, your dormitory is number 307. Have a pleasant rest."
With that, the light curtain door opened, and Bai Xi stepped inside.
The number of students at Blackgold Academy was not large; in fact, the number of staff members was even greater than the student body. Most of the students hailed from prominent families or possessed exceptional talent that was rare even across the entire Huaguo. Therefore, each department had only a small number of students. Consequently, instead of each department having its own building, several departments were assigned to a single student dormitory building.
The dormitory environment at the school was excellent, but to foster student unity, collaboration, and interaction, it was still designed for four people per room.
However, the four residents shared a living room and study, with each individual having their own private bedroom and en-suite bathroom. This arrangement perfectly balanced the enjoyment of collective living with the necessity of personal privacy.
As Bai Xi entered the dormitory, she saw students mingling in small groups, chatting and laughing in a warm and convivial atmosphere.
This scene reminded her of her high school days with Tong Yao.
The Dark Department also had dormitories, albeit single rooms. Although not spacious, they were adequately equipped. However, she had hardly ever returned to her dormitory back then. This was because she was either on a mission or on her way to one, only staying for half a month when she was too severely injured to move.
If it weren't for that cliff-falling incident... she would have easily gotten into her desired university, studied business administration, and taken the Bai Group to greater heights.
What would she encounter in university...
Thinking about this, she suddenly felt that this operation, apart from the troublesome and vexing matter of the Kui Hall, wasn't entirely without merit. At least... it allowed her to experience her unfulfilled university life at Huaguo's highest academic institution.
Her furrowed brow gradually relaxed, and a subtle smile curved her lips. Instead of dwelling on her displeasure with the Kui Hall, she decided it was better to accept things as they were and enjoy this regained campus time.
Just then, a call echoed from the corridor.
Bai Xi walked over and saw six girls standing in the corridor.
Evidently, five of them were together, leaving one isolated and vulnerable.
The five girls had cornered the lone girl to the edge of the staircase, their faces etched with arrogant anger.
The girl facing them, holding a large stack of books, had a delicate, small face framed by glasses as thick as the bottom of a beer bottle. She appeared timid.
The leader among the five girls was a long-haired girl with eight streaks of white highlights. She tilted her head slightly, addressing the bespectacled girl with her chin. "Ha, with a face like yours, you have the nerve to try and seduce Senior Mu Yue? You're truly overestimating yourself!"
The bespectacled girl quickly shook her head, her eyes filled with timidity. "No, no, I didn't. I just wanted to discuss the latest robot research with Senior. This is the newest system; if it were installed on your robot, it would definitely..."
The girl with the highlights was relentless, pointing forcefully at the girl's shoulder. As she pointed, she continued, "What are you explaining? Aren't you just using robots as an excuse to seduce Senior? I warn you, if you see Senior Mu Yue again, go around him. If I see you speaking to him again, I'll carve two flowers on your face with a knife!"
The bespectacled girl flinched slightly and said cautiously, "I really didn't..."
The girl with the highlights instantly became enraged. "Still dare to argue? I warn you, stay away from Senior from now on..."
The moment she finished speaking, she directly reached out and shoved the girl in front of her. The girl, already pushed to the edge of the staircase, lost her balance with this push.
She tumbled backward from the upper level, instinctively trying to protect herself, dropping her books and diagrams. The diagrams scattered through the air, while the girl fell backward, her eyes filled with fear and helplessness.
The girl who pushed her was clearly stunned, seemingly not expecting such a result, and covered her mouth in fright.
Undoubtedly, if she fell headfirst, her survival would be uncertain.
Bai Xi moved forward with a swift, ghost-like agility, arriving at the staircase and catching the girl who was about to fall.
She had promised Wei Changhe that she would protect the students of Blackgold Academy, and she intended to keep her word.
Moreover, what could be more foolish than one girl losing her life for a man, and another girl becoming a murderer?
