The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 1568: Chapter 1568: Special Passage

Chu Jiaojiao, Shen Changqing, Yue Qiyuan... a few people walked over and stood straight in front of He Bi, all saying, ”Senior He Bi.”

The last one, Sheng Qingyan, came over, slightly bashful, ”Senior He Bi, oh, why did you let only me come an hour early, oh?”

He Bi said, ”Because you’re the laziest.”

Sheng Qingyan: ”...”

Sheng Qingyan stomped her foot, ”You’re slandering me, oh.”

Clearly understanding everyone’s quirks in advance, He Bi rubbed his forehead and said, ”I don’t mind your ’oh’ here and there, but please don’t say ’oh’ to me directly, it makes my head hurt, oh.”

Sheng Qingyan: ”Fine, oh.”

He Bi: ”...”

He Bi looked at everyone and said, ”All of you look pretty spirited, let’s go.”

He had just started walking but suddenly felt something was wrong. He quickly turned around, extended his hand, and started counting the sophomore students’ heads.

”One, two, three... six!”

”One, two, three... six!”

”Something’s off!”

”We’re missing someone? Who’s not here?” He Bi was shocked, his expression froze, and he stared at Ji You and others, saying, ”Who are we missing?”

Ji You just listened to him miscounting and quickly turned around to check, extending her hand to count, ”1, 2, 3...”

Ji You finished counting, blinked, and said, ”No mistake, we have 7 in the Combat Department, and with you, that’s 8.”

He Bi: ”...”

He Bi counted again and found one was still missing. He said inexplicably, ”Who are we missing?”

Silently standing by the side, always following behind the group without making a sound, Liu Fufeng raised his hand pointed at himself and asked, ”Senior, did you miss me?”

He Bi looked closely and finally noticed there was indeed a living person beside him. He jumped startled, ”What the hell! Where did you come from?”

Liu Fufeng looked innocent, his tone confused, ”Senior, I’ve been here the whole time.”

He Bi stared at Liu Fufeng, vaguely pondering, and after a few seconds, he smiled slightly, stepped forward, patted Liu Fufeng’s shoulder, and said, ”Liu Fufeng, you’re great, I really like you. How about you hang out with me from now on?”

Liu Fufeng was very obedient: ”Okay.”

Ji You watched this scene and somehow felt Liu Fufeng did it on purpose. He deliberately lowered his presence to catch Senior He Bi’s attention, then let Senior He Bi discover his special invisibility ability, so Senior He Bi would take him along.

Could this guy be hiding some mischievous intentions?

Thinking that, Ji You glanced again at He Bi, and realized Senior He Bi probably hadn’t noticed Liu Fufeng’s little schemes...

Should I give a warning?

Just as Ji You thought about it, she suddenly saw Liu Fufeng glance over, that glance was filled with confusion and a hint of smugness.

Ji You thought she saw wrong.

Liu Fufeng’s cocky expression flashed by, Ji You thought she saw wrong and looked again, which caught He Bi’s attention.

He Bi asked, ”Why are you sneaking around? Just say what you want.”

Ji You immediately said, ”Senior He Bi, Liu Fufeng is deliberately trying to get closer to you, he’s definitely up to something sneaky.” Knowing He Bi well, if he understood everyone’s personalities, he absolutely wouldn’t overlook Liu Fufeng, the most special member.

This guy’s mysterious invisibility ability might go unnoticed by others, but how could it escape Teacher Mu’s or Principal Hong’s eyes? If they knew, Senior He Bi surely knew too.

So, Ji You directly exposed Liu Fufeng’s hidden motives.

At that moment, the atmosphere was incredibly awkward.

He Bi coughed, glared at Ji You, and scolded, ”You Iron Fool, why are you so foolish? You saying that makes it awkward for both of us. I know he intentionally got close to me, and I’m actually okay with it because we both benefit.”

Liu Fufeng glanced at Ji You, his little eyes carried a hint of pride as he said, ”Ji You, Senior He Bi is the strongest here, so I want to be with Senior He Bi.”

Ji You: ”...”

He Bi, upon hearing that, seemed quite pleased, saying, ”You’ve got foresight.”

Liu Fufeng blinked his pretty eyes and said, ”I did a calculation last night, being beside Senior He Bi is the safest.”

”...” Ji You was speechless, she vaguely recalled Liu Fufeng sticking to her for protection, this guy really was fickle, always following the strongest, with no principles.

Chu Jiaojiao and others were also speechless on the spot.

Ji You raised her hand to rub her forehead, saying, ”You’re constantly messing with this feudal superstition, can’t you quit it for a couple of days?”

Liu Fufeng shook his head, firmly refusing: ”No! I trust my calculations.”

Chu Jiaojiao asked suspiciously, ”Aren’t you only good at drawing stick figures and cursing circles? You can now calculate fortunes?”

Liu Fufeng smiled, his smile carried a hint of bashfulness, saying, ”I’ve just started learning recently, my skills aren’t refined yet, can only calculate my own fortune. Once I’m better, I’ll do a reading for you all.”

Chu Jiaojiao politely declined, saying, ”No need, no need, I don’t believe in that stuff, I only trust myself.”

He Bi didn’t mind at all, even said with a smile, ”There’s nothing wrong with having broad interests; if fortune-telling works, teach me someday.”

Liu Fufeng nodded, ”Okay.”

Not wanting to waste time, He Bi looked up, glanced at the sky, and said, ”Let’s go.”

Go?

But there were no spaceships or other flying devices around, everyone puzzled, He Bi said: ”Time is tight, we’re not using the public channels, we’ll leave via other routes.”

Ji You didn’t understand, but Chu Jiaojiao, Shen Changqing, and others clearly did. Besides public channels, many planets have private channels, which are not open to the public, hence less known, and only the rich or powerful can construct them, so it’s normal Ji You didn’t know.

He Bi explained, ”This is the escape route of our Lanyue Star Military Academy, only opened under special circumstances.”

Clearly, their current situation was classified as special, so the academy opened it for them.

No one asked further, following He Bi, through the public channel of Dock No. 3, onto a spaceship, then left from the small door in the ship’s hold, walked a distance, and entered an underground passage.

Along the way, since it was already class time, their actions didn’t draw others’ attention. Throughout the process, it was just the 8 of them, not a single teacher made an appearance.

Eventually, when they stopped, Ji You only knew that after entering the underground, they went into an elevator, changed vehicles many times, and took an underground railway. After about an hour, He Bi finally stopped them.

Everyone looked closely and saw a mini spaceship appeared ahead.
