The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 860: Chapter 860: Return to School

After Zhang Si finished speaking, Mu Jianling completely disregarded any consideration of face, her expression turning serious, and said bluntly: ”Since it’s left to me, whether it lives or dies is not your concern, so stop coming in front of me asking for trouble.”

Zhang Si: ”...”

In front of so many students, Mu Jianling, that guy, showed no consideration for my face, but how could I get mad at a barbarian? Zhang Si said with a smiling face, ”With Teacher Mu watching, I’m very reassured.” After saying this, Zhang Si continued in a gentle voice, ”Does Teacher Mu want to spar with me? How about we set a time?”

Mu Jianling raised her hand and clenched her fist.

Creak~

Creak~

Creak~

...

”Tsk~” Mu Jianling clenched her fist so tightly it creaked. Raising an eyebrow, she said indifferently: ”My defeated opponent who hasn’t won against me once in 100 years is now willingly asking to spar?”

Zhang Si: ”...”

Forget it.

There’s nothing to discuss with a barbarian.

Zhang Si said: ”I’ll take the students back to rest. If Teacher Mu needs anything, feel free to visit us at the Agricultural College.”

After saying that, she was about to leave.

Mu Jianling suddenly asked, ”Looking so disheveled, where did you go?”

Zhang Si stopped her steps, her tone sinking, and said, ”I took the students to Feiluan Star to collect resources. While transferring through Beiji Star, there was a slight mishap; we encountered a batch of rampaging Carrion Vultures.” Feiluan Star is a primitive green planet, retaining a very complete ecological chain, one of the few not invaded by the Star Beast’s X virus nor polluted by Universe radiation.

Feiluan Star is an important resource type of the Alliance, often visited for research and development in agriculture, biology, and other fields. Zhang Si took a batch of outstanding students to Feiluan Star with the goal of collecting plants for research into new crop varieties.

The trip started smoothly, but when the students, having reaped a bountiful harvest, were returning via spaceship, they unexpectedly encountered a frenzied attack from Carrion Vultures near the transit station of Beiji Star.

The students of the Agricultural College usually deal more with flora and fauna and aren’t skilled in combat. Facing this sudden attack, a group wielding hoes naturally stood no chance against such ferocious beasts. Fortunately, Zhang Si provided comprehensive protection on the journey, and together with the students, succeeded in repelling the pack of Carrion Vultures without any casualties.

...

Even now, many of the Agricultural College students still looked visibly shaken.

Level 7.

They encountered an attack from a Level 7 as well as over a dozen Level 4, 5, and 6 Carrion Vultures, fortunately without any casualties.

Just as the students of the Agricultural College were whispering to each other about the experiences of this journey, each gazing admiringly at their mentor Zhang Si, suddenly they heard the neighboring mentor Mu Jianling saying: ”A Level 7 can leave you like this, so you still aren’t competent enough... ”

Zhang Si: ”...”

I just handed Fu Feng over to her, so is there really a need to hold a grudge for so long?

Moreover, Fu Feng staying at Lanyue Star is a consensus from the top, it’s not something I can control or interfere with.

Zhang Si, with a darkened face, replied unceremoniously, ”I don’t have time to listen to your nonsense here, I’m leaving.”

After saying this.

Zhang Si called out to her students, ”Everyone, return to school now.”

Mu Jianling watched Zhang Si’s back, raising an eyebrow slightly, and until Zhang Si, with her students, disappeared at the dock, Mu Jianling hadn’t said another word, which Ji You found curious.

Ji You leaned closer, whispering, ”Teacher... Aunt Zhang said you can’t speak anything good with your foul mouth, I thought you would say something to retaliate.”

After waiting for a long time, nothing came of it.

Mu Jianling: ”...”

Without a second thought, Mu Jianling kicked Ji You’s backside, scolding, ”I see you’re asking for trouble.”

Ji You hugged her backside, retreating a few steps: ”Cough cough... Teacher, I was merely quoting Aunt Zhang, I had no other intention, I’m just a cold, impersonal recorder, that’s all.”

Mu Jianling raised her hand: ”I see your skin is itching.”

Ji You immediately ran to the back.

Mu Jianling said blandly, ”Everyone, return to school.”

After saying this, Mu Jianling said no more, walking towards the exclusive Floating Car heading to the Lanyue Star Military Academy.

Mu Jianling was the first to step onto the car, and Ji You hurriedly followed along. Chu Jiaojiao, Shen Changqing, Yue Qiyuan, Sheng Qingyan... a group of students, according to their respective groups, orderly boarded the car.

Mu Jianling, arms crossed, sat in an independent seat, with her eyes lowered, seeming not in the best mood.

Ji You, thick-skinned, edged closer, and sat down. After hesitating for a while, she asked, ”Teacher... It seems like your relationship with Aunt Zhang isn’t too great, what’s the reason?”

Ji You’s question was something the others were curious about as well.

Upon hearing this, Mu Jianling lifted her head, glanced at Ji You, and replied coldly, ”No particular reason, it’s purely because I can’t stand the neighbors. You idiots, remember this: if someone from the Agricultural College deliberately seeks trouble, don’t be polite, beat them up! Beat them hard! If you can’t, use my name!”

”Cough cough...”

”Cough cough...”

”Cough cough...”

Hearing this capricious response, the students all cleared their throats,

On Lanyue Star, there are only these two schools, and the relationship between them is not exactly harmonious. It’s quite common for students to arrange fights, spar, and even have brawls, but...

It’s always been merely friendly sparring, with no deep hatred between the two sides, right?

...

Ji You looked at Teacher Mu Jianling with genuine admiration in her eyes and said, ”Teacher, Aunt Zhang is already so capable, yet I didn’t expect you to be so much more formidable than her!”

Aunt Zhang’s strength is already impressive, especially her spiritual power, which has reached the level of being able to manipulate physical objects. She can apply spiritual pressure that almost stifles people.

But—

For 100 years, she’s never won against Teacher Mu Jianling.

How frustrating must that be?

Mu Jianling raised an eyebrow, her indifferent tone carrying absolute confidence, saying, ”Oh? Zhang Si? She can dream of beating me for another 100 years.”

Ji You stared wide-eyed: ”Teacher, you’re truly strong, the strongest in the Universe currently!!!”

Mu Jianling: ”Hmm~”

Ji You smiled mischievously, wishing she could butter up, ”Teacher...”

Mu Jianling: ”Speak!”

”Cough cough...” Ji You straightened her face, seeming to deliberate her tone before cautiously saying, ”Um... I feel like I need a whole lot of Candy Beans...”

Mu Jianling: ”No.”

Ji You squeezed out a smile: ”Don’t be so blunt in refusing.” Saying this, Ji You fished something out from her pocket, pulling out a pen and a stack of white paper, hurriedly adding, ”Write as many contracts as you want.”

”...” Mu Jianling felt her fingers itch.
