Chapter 137: Why Have University Students Become Like This
Cheng’an was located in the middle of Xia Country and was known as the capital of culture.
Since ancient times, many famous cultural figures have emerged from there.
There were five university towns here, and this number was among the top in Xia country. There were also many key inst.i.tutions of higher learning.
Initially, it was supposed to be the first day of school for the inst.i.tutions of higher learning. However, due to the instructions pa.s.sed down from the higher-ups, universities had already started school a month ago.
It was common for inst.i.tutions of higher learning to start school early, but it was rare to be this early.
Since the message was released two days after the announcement regarding the construction of the high wall, everyone guessed the two were related.
After all, they were too close in timing. No one believed that it was a coincidence.
On the first day of school, everyone finally knew the purpose of bringing forward the start of school.
It was for military training.
This military training was rather special.
It wasn’t only meant for freshmen[1]. Even current students were not exempt; they had to partic.i.p.ate in military training too.
This attracted a lot of attention from society.
Everyone knew the purpose of the military training.
Some people had guessed that the high walls being built all around the world were not meant to withstand the so-called tsunami of the century but to prevent future world wars.
After all, the world had not been very peaceful in recent years. This was possible.
However, these were just guesses. There were variables as to what would happen in the future.
…
At dawn.
Cheng’an, Zhu Hua District University Town. On a certain street, a man and a woman walked out from the thick white fog.
Last night, after Fu Xuemei crushed the jade talisman, Qin Chuan came over.
Fu Xuemei explained the situation, and Qin Chuan could understand.
He brought Fu Xuemei to the city where her granddaughter was once it was dawn.
“Sect Master, I’m sorry for troubling you,” Fu Xuemei said gratefully.
Qin Chuan smiled. “It’s just a small matter, there’s nothing troublesome about it.”
After a few words, Qin Chuan left.
However, he did not fly far before turning back.
…
The sky gradually brightened.
A series of whistles suddenly sounded in the peaceful university town.
Not long after, the sound of orderly footsteps and all sorts of reprimands could be heard.
Cheng’an Business University.
Fu Xuemei arrived at the school gate with two big bags of fruits.
Presently, the school gate was closed.
Fu Xuemei went to the guard room and knocked on the door.
The guard opened the door, and his eyes lit up.
Three words popped up in his head.
F*ck, a beauty!
After Fu Xuemei became younger, she looked beautiful. In addition, the unique demeanor of an immortal cultivator added to her beauty.
The security guard seemed to have lost his soul as he stared at Fu Xuemei.
Although this was very rude, Fu Xuemei didn’t care.
She was only thinking about her granddaughter.
Fu Xuemei asked politely, “h.e.l.lo, I would like to ask, when is the school opening?”
The guard was not listening.
Fu Xuemei frowned slightly.
“h.e.l.lo?”
“h.e.l.lo?”
“Hey!”
…
After a few shouts, the guard returned to his senses.
“What did you just say?” The guard rubbed his hands and asked awkwardly.
Fu Xuemei repeated, “I wanted to ask, when will the school would open?”
The guard asked, “Are you going in to look for someone?”
Fu Xuemei nodded.
“Madam, I’m very sorry, but that’s not allowed now.”
“Why?” Fu Xuemei asked in surprise.
The guard said seriously, “It’s the military training period now. To ensure the smooth progress of the military training, the school has implemented closed-off management. Only staff and students are allowed to enter.”
“Can the students come out?”
“No, unless there are special circ.u.mstances.”
After hearing this, Fu Xuemei realized she didn’t even have the chance to visit her granddaughter. She couldn’t help feeling a little down.
Seeing this, the guard said, “Madam, you can tell me who you’re looking for. I’ll report this to the higher-ups. They’ll probably take care of it.”
“Alright then!”
Fu Xuemei then told the guard her granddaughter’s name.
The guard relayed the situation to the higher-ups but did not give a concrete answer immediately.
After waiting for ten minutes, there was still nothing.
The guard looked at Fu Xuemei, who was waiting anxiously, and hoped that she would stay in the guardhouse.
After all, she was a beauty.
But this was his workplace. If his supervisor were to see this, he would get knocked on the head. They might even deduct his salary.
After much hesitation, the guard tactfully said to Fu Xuemei, “Madam, waiting like this is not a solution. Why don’t you leave your number and I’ll inform you if there’s any news?”
Fu Xuemei thought about it and decided that this was the only way.
She left after leaving her number.
She booked a hotel nearby.
In the university towns, hotels were naturally available.
Under normal circ.u.mstances, there would definitely be many university students, but now, it was a little bleak.
…
The sky gradually darkened.
In the room, Fu Xuemei was seated with her five centers facing the sky. Wisps of spiritual energy the size of hair floated around her.
She cultivated while waiting for the news.
When the sky turned dark, Fu Xuemei slowly opened her eyes.
She picked up his phone and took a look. There was still no notification.
She felt that waiting was futile.
She was here, so she had to see his granddaughter no matter what.
Fu Xuemei called her granddaughter.
“h.e.l.lo!” A familiar voice entered her ears.
Fu Xuemei finally smiled.
“Granddaughter, Grandma came here today.”
“Ah? Grandma, you’re really here?!”
“Of course I am.”
“But, the school is now under closed-off management. All outsiders are prohibited from entering, even students can’t come out.So, Grandma, it’s of no use even if you are here!”
“It’s alright! Grandma has a way.”
“Okay!”
“I’ll contact you when I’ve gotten into the school.”
After hanging up, Fu Xuemei walked out with the fruits she had bought earlier in the day.
…
A few minutes later, Fu Xuemei appeared outside the western area of the university.
She had heard that there was a grove near the west side of the school. There were not many people supervising the area. If she climbed over the wall here, she would not be discovered.
The high wall in front of her was about four meters tall. As an immortal cultivator, this height was nothing to Fu Xuemei.
She pushed off her feet, leaped into the air, and quickly climbed over the wall.
After landing, Fu Xuemei looked around to ensure that no one was around before she dared to move.
But after a few steps, she heard movement behind a bush on her right.
“Senior, don’t be anxious.”
“Junior, the school is very strict now. If the management aunt discovers us, we’ll be done for.”
“Then hurry up.”
“Don’t worry, speed is what I’m good at.”
…
Although they spoke very softly, Fu Xuemei heard them very clearly.
The moral degeneration of the world is getting worse by the day. Why have university students become like this?
I hope my granddaughter doesn’t act like this.
Fu Xuemei couldn’t help but feel disappointed and sad about the current university students today.
Cough cough——
Fu Xuemei deliberately coughed a few times and took heavy steps.
There was some commotion in the bushes.
In a few seconds,
A young man with a naked upper body ran out in a panic.
He scanned the surroundings as if he were looking for someone.
But Fu Xuemei was long gone.
As she left the grove, she could see a cl.u.s.ter of school buildings.
At this moment, she didn’t see anyone outside. It was rather desolate.
Fu Xuemei came to a hidden corner and then called her granddaughter to explain the situation.
Before long, a slender figure ran over cautiously from afar.
Fu Xuemei was excited to see her granddaughter.
Fu Xuemei waved at her softly. “Granddaughter, I’m here!”
Soon, they met.
The moment her granddaughter saw Fu Xuemei, she was shocked.
“Grandma?”
