NOVPUBChapter 757: Chapter 524: Outstanding Graduates Return to School Event_2 Chapter 757 -524: Outstanding Graduates Return to School Event_2 Chu Mo鈥檚 words had barely landed when Wu Kunpeng beside him squinted slightly.
After taking a glance at the smiling Chu Mo, Wu Kunpeng realized that Chu Mo鈥檚 intent was actually to recruit the martial arts academy鈥檚 past graduates.
After a moment of silence, and without any refusal, Wu Kunpeng spoke:
鈥淢r.
Chu, there鈥檚 no rush.
Once Yuanyuan becomes an apprentice, I will surely call back all the excellent graduates to the school!
Then, I would ask for Mr.
Chu鈥檚 presence to provide guidance!鈥
Chu Mo turned to glance at the girl in white who was closely following him.
...
At this moment, Wu Youyou seemed like a little follower.
Her gaze occasionally drifted towards Lei Ting in the crowd, her eyes brimming with anticipation and excitement.
Feeling Chu Mo鈥檚 gaze upon her, the young girl with an oval face slightly gathered her thoughts, then smiled sweetly at Chu Mo, her eyes filled with flattery.
Withdrawing his gaze, Chu Mo knew that in the entire Kunpeng Martial Arts Academy, whether it was winning over Wu Kunpeng or wanting to recruit more talents, every key point was centered on Wu Youyou.
潡堭潣凁潡答潡?co
As long as he could persuade Lei Ting to take the young girl as his student, this trip to Dali could be considered a complete success.
鈥淢r.
Chu, it鈥檚 lunchtime now.
I鈥檝e prepared food and drinks at Tianxiang Tower near the school.
I鈥檓 not sure if it suits your taste!鈥
A group of people descended the steps, and just at that moment, the sound of the class-ending bell echoed through the academy, shortly followed by various bustling noises.
As few people walked down the stairs, they saw many students running around; some gathered in groups of three or five, others in pairs, and they all headed in one direction.
Chu Mo suddenly stopped, pointed towards where the students were gathering, and said with a smile:
鈥淧rincipal Wu, back in Modu, I usually have enough of extravagant meals.
Let鈥檚 change it up today and have a simple meal with the students.
I wonder if our school cafeteria has seaweed soup; I really miss the seaweed soup from my university鈥檚 dining hall!鈥
Hearing this, Wu Kunpeng was momentarily startled.
However, being a martial artist used to simplicity, he readily smiled upon hearing Chu Mo鈥檚 request and said:
鈥淪ince Mr., Chu is interested, let鈥檚 reminisce about the student days together.
To be honest, the meals in our student cafeteria are quite good.
I often eat here.
Our academy is for martial arts, so the students have a high amount of physical activity; they not only need to be well-fed but well-nourished too.鈥
The group made their way to the cafeteria amidst laughter and conversation.
With Principal Wu being present, the nearby students naturally didn鈥檛 dare to make a fuss.
The group quickly arrived at the cafeteria, and Chu Mo, wanting to experience the student life firsthand, didn鈥檛 allow others to get food for him.
He queued up behind Wu Kunpeng, chatting occasionally, and soon it was their turn.
Chu Mo looked at the plentiful dishes on the serving plates and nodded slightly, confirming that, as Wu Kunpeng mentioned, the food in the school cafeteria was indeed good 鈥 there were not only chicken legs and braised pork but also several nice vegetarian dishes.
Chu Mo took a chicken leg and two vegetarian dishes, then walked side by side with Wu Kunpeng toward the dining area.
The cafeteria at Kunpeng Martial Arts Academy was large; it seemed that it was once used to prepare meals for three thousand students, and now with only three hundred, it was naturally not crowded.
However, the front row was still full of people.
As Chu Mo was about to head to the empty seats at the back, Wu Kunpeng suddenly lit up, pointed towards a seat that was occupied, and said with a smile:
鈥淢r.
Chu, let鈥檚 sit over there!鈥
Chu Mo naturally had no objections.
The two carried their trays over to a seat where a long-haired girl was already eating.
Wu Kunpeng put his tray next to the girl and said with a smile:
鈥淨in Huanran, I heard from Teacher Liu Hui that you beat up a classmate again a few days ago?鈥
The girl with long bangs that almost covered half her face remained unmoved, appearing not the slightest bit nervous in the presence of Principal Wu Kunpeng, unlike a typical student.
On the contrary, she utterly ignored whatever Wu Kunpeng had to say.
Chu Mo found the long-haired girl quite interesting, as she seemed to have a lot of personalities.
He placed his meal tray beside her and then, just like Wu Kunpeng, sat down on the other side of the girl.
The food in the cafeteria was obviously not as refined as what a personal chef could prepare at home, but for an average person, it should be comparable to that of a decent restaurant.
Chu Mo was quite picky with food; he was not even accustomed to delicacies like abalone, but if he wasn鈥檛 fussy, he could stomach instant noodles.
Naturally, he found the food on his plate quite tasty.
Chu Mo had taken a few bites of his rice when he turned his head and noticed that the long-haired girl beside him, named Qin Huanran, was really tall.
As they sat down, her shoulder was level with his, likely making her just as tall as he was.
Chu Mo stood at one meter eighty-two, and this girl was of a similar height, possibly even slightly taller than one meter eighty, which was considered quite tall for a female.
Wu Kunpeng, seated beside them, had been snubbed by the long-haired girl, but he didn鈥檛 take it to heart.
Instead, he turned to Chu Mo and said,
鈥淢r.
Chu, about that excellent graduate return event you mentioned, I think it鈥檚 a good idea.
Our Kunpeng Martial Arts Academy has been established for over twenty years.
We鈥檝e had twenty-nine A-ranked graduates and over a hundred B-ranked ones.
As for C-ranked or lower graduates, they number in the thousands.
Although the majority are developing their careers in coastal cities, many still keep in touch with our faculty.
If we invite them in the name of their alma mater, I鈥檓 sure many would be willing to participate!鈥
After finishing his remark, Wu Kunpeng suddenly addressed the long-haired girl next to him,
鈥淥h, by the way, Qin Huanran, how鈥檚 your sister Qin Siran doing?
She was already A-ranked when she graduated five years ago; by now, she must have reached mid-A rank or perhaps even upper-A rank!鈥
The tall girl kept her head down, immersed in her meal, completely ignoring Wu Kunpeng鈥檚 words.
Wu Kunpeng couldn鈥檛 help but shake his head in embarrassment, though he was aware of the girl鈥檚 aloof nature.
It was precisely because of her unsociability that she often clashed with other students and had become a frequent visitor to Principal Wu鈥檚 office.
However, with her strength at upper B-ranked, she was among the elite students at the academy.
Naturally, Wu Kunpeng couldn鈥檛 bear to expel her and usually had to take her side in disputes with other students.
Chu Mo was gnawing on a chicken leg, contemplating the girl鈥檚 aloofness when Qin Huanran, who was eating next to him, tidied up her utensils.
She suddenly stood up and said indifferently,
鈥淢y sister broke through to the peak of A-rank a year ago!鈥
As she spoke, she was about to leave, but then she seemed to sense something.
The girl suddenly looked up, her gaze sweeping over a nearby table.
She noticed Lei Ting鈥檚 icy stare, and for a moment their eyes locked in the air.
A second later, her entire body jolted.
The girl, who was about to leave, immediately sat back down, gently bowing her head, allowing her long bangs to cover half her cheek.
Wu Kunpeng, feeling emotional next to her, said,
鈥淨in Siran has reached the peak of A-rank now?
If I鈥檓 not mistaken, she was just seventeen when she graduated from our academy five years ago.
She must be no more than twenty-two now.
To reach the peak of A-rank at twenty-two, indeed, both you sisters are martial arts prodigies!鈥
Chu Mo quietly listened to Wu Kunpeng鈥檚 emotional words, not interrupting.
However, when he turned his head slightly, he noticed that the tall, long-haired girl beside him was shaking slightly, looking tense and uneasy.
Chu Mo looked up, perplexed, and then saw Lei Ting at the next table, staring intently at the girl next to him.
With a slight frown, just as Chu Mo was filled with confusion, Lei Ting suddenly stood up, taking his meal tray and sitting down in front of the girl.
Chu Mo didn鈥檛 speak, but Lei Ting鈥檚 unusual behavior could only mean one thing.
The Qin Huanran next to him was probably far more complicated than she appeared!
